"Fine dining restaurant El Barzon features two distinct menus: one for Mexican food and another focused on Italian. Start with chips and salsa, followed by fresh homemade Linguini El Barzon (linguini in little neck clams, shrimp, olive oil, white wine, garlic, tomato sauce, and spicy red pepper flakes with croutons). Chef and proprietor Norberto Garita honed his skills cooking Italian food in New York and at the famed Il Posto Ristorante in Southfield before opening this Southwest Detroit staple. Online ordering is available for takeout and reservations are recommended, particularly during patio season when the romantic alfresco seating area opens up." - Danny Palumbo
