Scottsdale restaurateurs Linda Nash and Steve Rosenfield opened their first Barrio Queen in 2011 in Old Town Scottsdale, bringing authentic southern Mexican cuisine and culture to the Valley. They now have three locations and are planning Tempe Marketplace and Queen Creek restaurants. “We have always enjoyed going to Mexico but for years we couldn’t find good Mexican food here at home. You’d find an American version instead,” Linda says. Signature dishes available at all three for lunch and dinner are the Chiles En Nogada, the Azteca Burrito and the Enchiladas Suizas. One guest recently said, “We haven’t had food this good since my grandmother’s.” So bring grandmom, and gramps, too!
