One of the country’s foremost authorities on bold, regional Mexican cooking, James Beard nominated chef Silvana Salcido Esparza has earned a gilded reputation since first opening her original Barrio Cafe on 16th Street and Thomas Road in Phoenix in 2002.
Known for her elevated cooking approach as much as her colorful bravado and fiery point-of-view, Barrio Urbano is chef Esparza’s latest vision, taking aim at a wider stage of her notable cooking style, serving breakfast, lunch, dinner, and of course, a serious cocktail program courtesy of seasoned lead bartender and "agave enthusiast" Colton Brock.
Barrio Urbano picks up where Esparza’s Barrio Cafe left off, pushing and blending the boundaries of what authentic Mexican cooking can be, with personality. From housemade everything, to incorporating exotic varieties of imported Mexican chile, Esparza continues to deliver bold flavors.
