For fans of Barrio Cafe, chef Silvana Salcido Esparza's home of modern Mexican eats, Saturdays just got a lot more lively.

After 12 years, Esparza's restaurant will open on Saturday afternoons -- starting at 11 a.m. Saturday, November 2 -- for brunch, happy hour, and live music.

Here's what to expect.

Barrio Cafe's new Saturday happy hour will happen from 2 to 5 p.m. with deals like tacos for $1.50 and half-off all alcohol.

"That means the expensive stuff, too!" Esparza says.

Like Sundays, Barrio Cafe's Saturday eats will include the full menu plus the brunch menu shown below.
