| - I feel very fortunate to live in a town that has really great Mexican food. In Phoenix, we are able to pick and choose. If I want street tacos on the cheap, I can go to one place, tamales at another, regional someplace else.
For something really special, however, there's Barrio Cafe Gran Reserva. The tasting menu is an experience anyone who has any interest at all in eating food where the soul of the chef is both visible on the plate and savor-able in every bite, you must try Gran Reserva. I have had the tasting menu twice now. The second time, I was a bit sad that the menu had changed, but was quickly won over by the delicious offerings on the new menu. Each of the six courses (both times) was fabulous.
The staff here is wonderful, enthusiastic and knowledgable. At the end of the meal you will feel well fed and well taken care of.
Every detail at Gran Reserva demonstrates Chef Silvana's attention to detail and careful consideration of the the whole dining experience. I love the small compact nature of the space, the art and white table cloth dining room. Gran Reserva also offers Chef Silvana's signature plates from her other projects as well. If you can, plan ahead and make reservations.
Expect a dining experience you will not soon forget.
