| - Wonderful food
I was eager to try Barrio Cafe as I recently hit Barrio Queen in Scottsdale with a friend. Very different atmosphere, this is a tiny place with a more formal menu. We arrived relatively early on a Friday night, around 6, and were seated immediately. I was a little disappointed that (unlike Barrio Queen), they don't have beer on tap. The food was wonderful, we had the guacamole with everything, which was interesting because they added pomegranate seeds. Next time I'd ask for the guacamole to be a bit spicier, but it was wonderful. My date had a pork torta, and it was wonderful. I had a poblano dish (can't remember the name), which is seasonal, and filled with chicken, almonds, apricots I think, and some cheese and cream sauce. Absolutely incredible, sweet and savory, spicy and smooth, in every bite. My entree also came with a side of steamed veggies and some chipotle mashed potatoes, which were smoky and very flavorful. I would definitely recommend Barrio Cafe and will be back soon!
