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.

    The service was nice and the food was very good, ‪I finished my dinner. Parking is okay, not bad but when it’s crowded lol it’s crowded. The inside of the restaurant is nice too. ‪I love dim lighting so it fits my mood.

    This place is a Detroit classic. We visited on a quiet mid-week night and the service was excellent. We shared the Fritto Mixto Di Pesce alla Italiana appetizer and we both agreed it was excellent (particularly the shrimp). My wife had the Pollo El Barzon and thought it was very good. I had the Kiss Pasta and it was truly outstanding. The sauce on that pasta was absolutely tremendous. We shared a slice of vanilla cake with Limoncello for dessert which we thought was good, but not great (perhaps more Limoncello would be better, from our perspective). Overall, we had a great time and we will return. Thank you El Barzon!
