Along with death and taxes, a long wait at Barrio Café, the best Mexican restaurant in town, is also one of life’s certainties with az food.
Now, perhaps, the wait may not be quite so long. And in a year or two, it might actually be pleasurable.
The current stand-around time is being shortened because the new patio offers 35 additional seats. “My $30,000 waiting corral,” chef/owner Silvana Salcido Esparza calls it.
She’s been battling the city for years trying to get it built. Misters are coming, just in time for the early-summer season.
And in a year or two, folks will be able to wait next door, in the space that used to house a Western wear shop. Esparza bought it earlier this year, and plans to turn it into a bar, where she’ll offer interesting, inexpensive nibbles.
