| - My boyfriend and I enjoyed a delicious meal at this restaurant which is only 1 week old. I ordered the Chiles en Nogada (chicken, apples, pears, apricots, pecans in a poblano chile, with a walnut cream sauce sprinkled with pomegranate seeds & cilantro). The different flavors blended well. My boyfriend had the Jaiba y Camaron which was also delicious. It contained a lot of shrimp & crab meat and the corn tortillas tasted superb. For desert we shared the Flan and it was big and the best I've ever eaten! Our waitress was very helpful and our food came out quickly.
The atmosphere is nice. It's a small restaurant but we didn't have any trouble getting a table at 6:30 pm on Friday without a reservation. However, I think wee were lucky. They only have about 30 seats so make a reservation.
The murals done by Lalo Cota were beautiful!
My only negative comment is that the wooden chairs seemed out of place and did not compliment the beautiful murals and decor.
I gave this place 5 stars! Compliments to the Chef!

Celebrating tonight! We had the privilege of sitting at the bar in the company of the kitchen staff, servers, & the chefs. We ordered the sampler meat dishes. Delicious! The courses: watermelon/goat cheese, scallops with mango, cooked cheese wrapped in spinach, duck taco in mole, halibut with rice, the food in delicious sauces, margaritas, and 2 Phoenix cocktails, wine, & desert. My descriptions does not do justice to the flavors. You'll have to see the menu to understand the indescribable delicious flavors. Go to Barrio Gran Reserve & appreciate the heaven on earth.
