A Taste of The Barrio Cafe Phoenix Phoenix AZ – A Gem of Phoenix – Worth A Fork!

The Barrio Cafe is a Mexican Restaurant….But not just any Mexican Restaurant. The Barrio Cafe is a Gem of Phoenix Arizona. It’s the 6th “C” of Arizona. We have climate, cotton, cattle, copper, citrus and a special cafe……The Barrio Cafe is by James Beard Nominated Silvana Salcido Esparza. The chef is well known and famous for her tender flavorful slow roasted Oochinita Pibil, Chiles en Nogada and her bright and chunky guacamole topped with pomegranate.

Stunning larger than life Mexican heritage artwork surrounds the restaurant.

The portions were very large. For some people each platter might be two meals.

Some prior take outs are below

I think you CAN’T understand what a great talent the chef really is from looking at my take out photos.

You need to see her creations from her other restaurant (now closed for business) Barrio Grand Reserva. Sadly the Barrio Grand Reserva is now closed for business. A few of the plates pictured are also served at Barrio Cafe.
