Thank you to Barca- Birrieria y Restaurant for your community partnership. We continue to be grateful for your continued support of Intrinsic students.

Thank you to all the many many students who come everyday to eat our students lunch special! ❤️❤️

Our lunch special is a La quesabirria (big quesabirria) rice, consomé and any drink of their choice! All for $10! ❤️❤️

We do this for all high school students to have something to eat during class to fuel up whenever and to provide a safe environment while they eat and relax!

If you're a high school student or know one, please come on in! 👨‍🎓👩‍🎓🏫
