Barrio Cafe view our video
Established in 2002 by partners Wendy Gruber & chef Silvana Salcido Esparza, The Barrio was a dream come true for the duo -- a little neighborhood eatery providing authentic southern Mexico cuisine and chef's original creations in a unpretentious atmosphere. Mission accomplished! The Barrio Cafe has been hailed as one of the hottest & original restaurants to hit Phoenix.
MD and his "road partner in crime" Jason Allison (aka Eagle) go to this place EVERY time we go to Phoenix. Barrio features a creative menu full of great mexican food. Local art hangs from the walls. They have 250 choices of tequila. Oh, and there is an unusual Luchador themed bathroom!

Rancho De Tia Rosa
While Barrio has been a favorite of Speedeats.com for the past few years, we were reminded of another place. Well, looking into it we realized that we had been there before. Yes... folks... ya need to hit this place!
It's a hacienda with atmosphere that rivals the wonderful menu of fresh southwest/mexican food.

Chino Bandido
Kerry Gilbert, with Sprint, is a true foodie. We listen to everything he suggests. This place is awesome and one of the more unusual places you'll eat at on the road. It's an affordable restaurant that fuses cuisine from Mexican and Asian cultures.

T-Bones Steakhouse
True Cowboy Steak. You feel like you are a part of the wild west in this secluded hideaway. Great steak and a breathtaking view of the valley.
It is located on the side of South Mountain and was once a private residence. Constructed in the 1920's out of river rock and adobe, the building was turned into a restaurant in the 1940's that catered to local ranchers and farmers. In 1972, it was named the T-Bone Steakhouse and has been a local favorite ever since.

TeePee Taproom
I try a ton of places on the road based on suggestions from locals. THIS is one of those places. Teepee Taproom is so good the president has eaten there. It's one of the oldest and best places in Phoenix for authentic Mexican food. Nothing fancy. It is near the ballpark too!

ALWAYS LISTEN TO OL' HERM!
Johanna Long's Spotter, Mike Herman Jr, is a huge fan of Speedeats. Ol' Herm and MD dine out together all the time. Herm says suggests Monti's. "The building was built in 1871, and Monti's the restaurant opened in 1956," says Herm. "I went there a couple times a few years back and it was good."
