Barrio Cafe in Phoenix

What to do when it's 114 degrees in Phoenix?  Eat Mexican food.  This is the answer to most questions in life. Eat Mexican food.

Best Mexican food in Phoenix?  Barrio Cafe.

This place is perfect.  From concept to execution, I can not fault one thing here.  The artwork outside and inside is funky and gritty and celebratory.  The service was very knowledgeable.  And the food is amazing.  A really simple and flavorful hand chopped guacamole.  Enchiladas with the best tomatillo sauce outside of Texas.  A home made spicy cinnamon-laced horchata that's like drinking mother's milk.  The churros are perfectly crisp and pumped with a caramel sauce. Doesn't get better than this.  Photos courtesy of fellow food blogger, The Giggle Fish, aka Jennifer Wozniak.
