a taste of the southwest - View this location on map ![]() 'what's a trip to the southwest without mexican food? be prepared barrio cafe (602-636-0240) isn't your typical chips-and-salsa joint. silvana salcido esparza serves her black mole sauce over chicken or enchiladas in her simple but elegant storefront restaurant. the white-walled, saltillo tile-floored space features a small wooden bar and rotating work by local artists often latino. start your meal with guacamole prepared table-side ($8) and try the 12-hour slow roasted pork with achioto rojo and sour orange and salsa yucatan ($17). save room for dessert, especially the churros rellenos de cajeta de cabra ($8) goat's milk caramel-stuffed fritters with vanilla ice cream.''
