Lively locale for Mexican meals. Bustling eatery serving creative Mexican fare in cozy digs filled with folk art.
Absolutely one of the best meals ever! The service was beyond phenomenal. The guacamole, is amazing and I definitely recommend. My mother who is visiting from Florida said a halibut dish rivaled the seafood she gets on the coast. The steak is out of this world. I’ve never had anything I didn’t like from here. Our server was incredibly considerate with my pregnant sister’s dietary restrictions and considerations. Best dining experience I have had for a while.
Amazing food. So delicious! Could barely walk out I was so full. Just couldn't stop ordering. Great variety, something for everyone. The staff were very friendly and explained items on the menu. Beautiful artwork and murals everywhere. I will be back often! Great parking also!
Creativity abound in the plating of their dishes! Colorful wall murals inside and outside of the restaurant. Staff were friendly, attentive, and ready to answer our curiosity questions. The restaurant’s spin on fresh guacamole with pomegranates was colorful and tasty and definitely worth trying. Dishes involving chicken is a hit or miss - not consistently prepared and leaning towards dry overcooked. Terrific visual experience but be prepared with your wallet/purse - don’t try to justify the menu prices - just enjoy the experience! Be aware parking will be a big challenge, and look cautiously for signs around the building specifying “No Barrio Cafe Parking.”
Wonderful, wonderful meal - easily a top ten dining experience. Innovative use of fruits like pomegranate in savory dishes - totally delicious. Can't recommend Barrio Cafe highly enough... Guy Fieri knew what he was talking about!
Great Authentic Mexican Food that checks every Box! From the Appetizers, soups, to the Main Entrees--Literally everything on their Menu is so Delicious & Very True to their Mexican Roots. Service was superb as well!
Delicious authentic Mexican food. Drinks were strong and everything was full of flavor. Order was brought to the table quickly. Ambience was very cute and eclectic. Server and hostess were very kind.
Delicious! Our server was amazing and very helpful in helping narrowing down what we would like best. The cocktails and food were top notch. We also loved the fun atmosphere and paintings inside and outside the building.
Absolutely OUTSTANDING. Definitely definitely get the pomegranate guacamole - it’s absolutely incredible. Lots of good flavor, made to order, and the pomegranate lightens everything so you don’t end up feeling quite so full, AND you get a nice citrus addition with the pomegranate. Will definitely be back the next time I return to Phoenix.
