El Barzon Restaurant Review

: This isn’t fusion food: the Italian and Pueblan dishes are listed separately, allowing ingredients to remain true to their origins. On the Italian side, there's sausage cooked with bell peppers, potato and tomato sauce, and vongole e cozze all arrabbiata, fresh mussels and clams in their shells in tomato broth. Then there's chile rellenos, and a choice of flour or corn tortillas stuffed with beef, chicken or roasted goat shoulder. Other specialties include zuppa de pesce and chicken blanketed in rich, earthy mole. There’s a nice wine list, too, much of it global, but with some local options as well.
