El Barzon

I visited El Barzon with a friend for lunch, after it was recommended to us by several people. I ordered the Barzon burrito, which is a carnivore’s delight for sure, containing steak and chicken, topped with chorizo, shrimp, and a white cheese sauce. I actually found myself wishing there were some vegetables thrown in to break up the meat, but it was very tasty. The chorizo wasn’t too salty like I’ve found it to be at other restaurants, and the shrimp (something I’m not a huge fan of) were exceptionally tasty.
My friend ordered a delicious-​looking fried item filled with cheesecake, which came served with ice cream and whipped cream, and though he regretted putting that and his meal away, he enjoyed both.
The décor is quite unique and charming, and shortly before noon while we were there, there was no crowd to speak of. Our waiter was rather sullen, about the only truly sour note I can mention, and I never received a refill on my water. He did offer to refresh our chips and salsa, which is always appreciated. I hope he was just having an off day, and I plan to return to reassure myself of that.

That was one of the worst meals I have ever been served!
I wish the best of luck to all who eat there.

Great food and you get plenty of it if your looking for good Mexican food this is the place to go. Good value for your dollar

This place is surprisingly nice with excellent food. I always expect the décor in a small family owned Mexican restaurant to be a little corny, but they did a really nice job. Looks great. Now the food, it is also surprisingly good. I’ve lived in San Diego for 25 years and I know good authentic Mexican food, and this place delivers. Naturally some of their menu items have been modified for their customers’ Midwest palate, but the food are tasty and they’ll gladly make your meal 100% authentic Mexican. Prices are very reasonable with a good selection of beers and very healthy margaritas. I highly recommend this place.

I live close to El Barzon. It is awesome! Great authentic mexican food and the coldest beer in town. We love this place. The Burrito Loco is my personal Recomendation

My current favorite mexican place! I live close this time, bonus! BUT and this is more an annoyance… they list my favorite dish, the Burrito Roquetta as a pork burrito with GREEN TOMATILLO sauce and cheese sauce, which is consistent with other places I’ve found it.
BUT without exception, *every time* I’ve ordered it unless I *say* «With the green sauce» I will get it with a red sauce that I don’t like as much. A few times even when I said it it still came out red and I sent it back. We’ve pointed it out on the menu, they’ve gone to the back with the menu, and we’ve send it back numerous times (Last time they forgot the cheese sauce, sigh) even had the waiter tell me a few times I was wrong and *did not* say it (everyone told him he was wrong) … yeah I could stop ordering it but it’s SOOOO good.
So for not presenting dishes as advertised on the menu, and all the trials of just trying to get my favorite thing as they say they make it, I am knocking off a star. If htey woudl just make things like the menu said I’d be fine.
As an aside the beef and cheese dip is awesomesauce and this is still the best Mexican for miles and miles around and what it’s doing in Trenton is a stumper to me.
