" You won't find anything like El Barzon elsewhere! The way they blend authentic and modern cuisine is remarkable. I had the opportunity to enjoy some of the best seafood pasta I've ever tasted. The ambiance was a perfect setup for a special date night. The service was impeccable, making sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. A magical night in a perfect setting! " (*Curated Review*)

" A delightful surprise in the heart of Detroit! The outdoor seating was lovely, and we enjoyed a variety of dishes from both the Italian and Mexican menus. The chicken enchiladas were bursting with flavor, while the pasta was not only fresh but also perfectly cooked. The staff made us feel warm and welcomed throughout the meal, making it a memorable dining experience. I look forward to coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" A pleasant dining experience! My husband and I decided to try El Barzon after hearing rave reviews. The dining area had a classy but casual feel. The food, while enjoyable, didn’t quite meet our high expectations based on what we've heard. It wasn’t bad by any means, but I felt some dishes could be more authentic in their spicing and presentation. Service was friendly but could have been quicker. We'd still recommend checking it out! " (*Curated Review*)

" An absolute treat for the taste buds! My colleagues and I were excited to eat at El Barzon, and we weren't let down. The mix of Italian and Mexican dishes was exceptional! My favorite had to be the homemade pasta with an authentic Mexican twist. The prices were reasonable for the quality we received. The dining room was buzzing with energy, and the staff was attentive. We easily became regulars after this meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried El Barzon for a cozy dinner with a friend. We were seated promptly, and the pleasant atmosphere made us feel at home. The food was flavorful with eye-catching presentation. I recall enjoying the mole in particular - it was rich and complex. On the flip side, the service felt slightly inattentive during the meal, as we waited a bit too long for our dessert. Overall, enjoyable but some room for improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Barzon is a favorite among locals for a reason! The combination of Italian and Mexican cuisine is executed nicely, and the ambiance is vibrant yet cozy. I highly recommend the enchiladas – they are perfectly spiced. Our server was efficient and friendly, though at times there was a slight lapse in service during peak hours. All in all, a dining experience worth repeating. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited El Barzon with high expectations and left feeling somewhat lukewarm. The ambience was nice, but I found the food slightly underwhelming. My pasta dish lacked seasoning, and the portion size could have been better for the price. The service was friendly enough, but we had a long wait between courses. Perhaps I chose the wrong dish. I might give it another chance someday. " (*Curated Review*)
