Bob CampbellAugust 20, 2013This is a surprisingly good restaurant for any southwest airport location. The Chiles Nogada was excellent and came in 10 minutes after order. I'll come back!Upvote12Downvote
Kate McCormleySeptember 3, 2013I can't believe I'm saying this about airport food, but the nachos were the best I've ever had. Not cheesy, but the fresh veggies and chorizo more than made up for it. James Beard nominee indeed!Upvote9Downvote
Noah GlassMarch 30, 2014Wow. They even do the famous Barrio guacamole to go at the Barrio Cafe Take Away window. Do not miss.

The chicken spinach salad with out onions is really good, also the hand shaken silver tequila margaritas are yummyUpvoteDownvote- Maggie G.August 25, 2014Arizona burrito w/eggs was hot, fresh and delicious! Coffee is served French press, also good. Great spot for breakfast!UpvoteDownvote

Chad HicksJanuary 5, 2014Get one of the booths lining the back edge of the restaurant, you have an even chance of getting access to a power outlet along the floor kick board...Upvote1Downvote- My 3rd trip here since June and my only stop when at the airport. Lowrider with Don Julio and Posole is so good.UpvoteDownvote
MeghanAugust 25, 2012Where else can you get an accessible James beard award winning restaurant? Cochinita pibil is my favorite! Also serving Mexican coke and horchata.Upvote2Downvote- C. P.August 11, 2013I like their idea of a cup of coffee! You get a whole French press!

Derek BergJuly 5, 2014Arizona burrito for breakfast was delicious and huge, ton of meat and cheese, enough to split easilyUpvoteDownvote- Chad HicksFebruary 11, 2013The skirt steak tacos are good, 4 tacos and fries for 12, which in airport prices is pretty reasonable. While the margaritas are good, they're too expensive. Stick with the 20 oz draft beer for 7$UpvoteDownvote
- 3 shrimp tacos for $17 and each only has a single shrimp in it.

Kate MaxwellMarch 24, 2014This place is fantastic for an airport restaurant. The Arizona burrito with eggs is great.UpvoteDownvote- Chiliquilles with eggs over hard and fresh squeezed OJ is the best thing to order, don't get americani cause the potatoes have tons o onionsUpvoteDownvote

Pete PlumerOctober 13, 2013The chorizo is no joke, it's the real deal and tall spicy. Good food.UpvoteDownvote
Yoli CaldwellApril 30, 2014The green Pozole is to die for! But last I checked it wasn't gluten free.UpvoteDownvote- Ben HughesSeptember 30, 2012As far as I can tell this is the only decent restaurant in T4. Try the pork tacos!UpvoteDownvote
Greg JonesJune 6, 2013Jalapeño tuna sandwich was great. A little messy to take with you on the plane.Upvote1Downvote

Joe AdamsJuly 17, 2013Okay it is the jaimica here that is great. I like the slow roasted pork tacosUpvoteDownvote
Carmen KisnerMay 18, 2013The food was good - for being in an airport. I had the nachos - which were a little weird. They had chorizo, blue cheese, and pine nuts included... Service was a little slow, but not horrible.UpvoteDownvote
Kevin DudleyNovember 19, 2015The Barrio Chicken Salad is not your standard airport salad.UpvoteDownvote
Gus ClassJune 2, 2013Exceptional food but slow service. Allocate extra time for pokey waiters and bored reception or get the amazing food Togo for your flight.Upvote2Downvote
Salsa in morning at bar if you ask very nicely. Overpriced airport drinksUpvoteDownvote
