Baru Bistro & Tapas, which Chef Edgar Caro opened in 2007 when he was just 24, is located in Uptown New Orleans and serves food based on the culinary traditions of the northern coast of Colombia. The restaurant has been named Best Latin American Restaurant in New Orleans seven years in a row.
Caro opened Basin Seafood & Spirits on Magazine Street in 2013. Caro describes the restaurant as “New Orleans cuisine with Latin flavor.”
Brasa Churrasqueria, with a menu similar to traditional South American steakhouses, opened in 2017 on Metairie Road. Caro uses fresh herbs and vegetables from the restaurant’s own garden in menu offerings, creating a true farm-to-table experience.
Caro and his business partner, Antonio Mata, who is from El Salvador, opened Zócalo Cocina Mexicana & Cantina, also located in Old Metairie, in 2018. In 2019 Zócalo was recognized in Critics’ and People’s Choice categories at Top Taco, New Orleans’ signature taco and cocktails event, and was named a Top Place for Mexican/Southwest in myneworleans.com Tops of the Town.
