7. Barrio Cafe

From 1 to 10 (10 for excellent) = 2 in all aspects

Was on a business trip and drove from Mesa to Phoenix to eat at Barrio Cafe based on the reviews on the web. Got there at 6:30 on a Thursday night and had a 45 minute wait (good sign that the food must be good). Had a salad and the roast pork. Both were excellent and had unique flavors. Great atmosphere, music and service.
