I have been here twice... The first time was perfect, the drink was great.. I only needed one (whiskey sour) and the food was even better... I went around late afternoon on a Thursday so there was no crowd, just me there which I didn't mind. The second time I went was okay... I got the same drink but it didn't taste the same, and my order was messed up... But I'm sure it was because of the language barrier... Otherwise everything was fine.

I would rate higher if I could. I have many allergies and they go beyond the menu to make a meal that I can eat and many places do not. It is very difficult to eat out but they make it worth while. Thanks El Barzon.

Good spot for a yummy dinner with friends...there was no wait on a Sunday evening, service was prompt and polite, the food came out quickly, and the margaritas were very good. Will go again for sure...

Good food at a good price. The wait staff was very helpful navigating their extensive menu. El Barzon is a gem off the 95 corridor.

Our new “favorite Restaurant” This was the best Mexican food, And possibly the best meal we’ve been served in NC. There was very little left to bring home for our Pup’s lol. It was just THAT GOOD. I’m brutally honest when I write a review. But, I can’t say anything but good things about El Barzon. From the mixed drinks to the thickness of the taco shells. It was great! We enjoyed a Rum&coke and a Margarita before we ate and I had three beef tacos and we shared her Texan fajita. Everything was clean and the staff was friendly and attentive. A little more expensive than other restaurants of this type but, Well worth it. If you’re in Smithfield and thinking of Mexican food, This is the place.
