There’s a small portal to Mexico City in Somerville’s Union Square, and it’s where you’ll want to be to celebrate Día de Muertos a little bit early. On Oct. 30, Barra, a diminutive restaurant and heated patio with a focus on mezcal, is hosting an all-day costume contest with fun dining specials in addition to the menu of aguachile, tacos, and more authentic Mexican bar food. Make your reservation for Halloween & Dia de Muertos at Barra—then, perfect your costume, because there are gifts on the line for the best dressed.
