Located 3 miles from Little Cesar's Arena, Comerica Park, and Ford Field. El Barzon Restaurante has been a staple to the city since 2007, serving both Mexican and Italian Traditional dishes.

    My wife and I wanted to take dear friends out for a dining experience. El Barzon has been on their list of places to try. Parking was easy access. We sat in the patio section. We were quickly seated. Our wait person, Carmela was wonderful. She was attentive but not hovering. She was a pleasure to talk to and very knowledgeable about the food menu and drink menu. The appetizers, salads, and entrees were all very good. The cocktails were great and not overpriced. The desserts were great especially the homemade limoncello cocktail. I have never been disappointed with this hidden gem in Detroit. David

    We were inside because it was hot, so there was very little noise. Everything was lovely. Our server, Nancy, was delightful and added to the fun of our evening. The food, of course, was outstanding. Thank you to all involved.

    Surprise! The overall ambience is so unexpected- the food is amazing. Only complaint is the service. We waited for a really long time to get drinks and the service was not so great. I know they were really busy - but for the cost of food, wish it was better. The server was friendly.. I jokingly told the server the bar needed help and she indicated that the bartender didn't want any. Once again- food was great - service not so much..

    The food was delicious and service excellent. We were inside where there were 2 large parties. It was very noisy and difficult to have a conversation. Still enjoyed the evening.
