Don Guerra's Barrio Bagel & Slice

Awesome place. Love the rosemary sea salt bagels!

Excellent service, excellent bagels!
Got an egg and bacon sandwich with the rosemary salt bagel and chiltepin (native wild chili pepper) cream cheese.
Employees are all extremely helpful, attentive and kind.

Came for the first time today and was super excited to try it!
Unfortunately our bread types we asked for were switched and both the chicken blt and the Italian sandwiches were very bland and messy. They seemed hastily thrown together and desperately needed some salt at the very least.
Super disappointed as this was supposed to be a healthier place and run by a James Beard award winner.

I wanted to get something new for lunch, so I downloaded their app and placed my lunch order for pick up. They have so many delicious options from breakfast, to lunch combos, to pizza, to just loaves of bread.

My order: Chicken BLT on a rosemary salt bagel with an oatmeal apricot cookie, and a side salad. I also ordered the Berry White cold brew for additional $2 in their combo section.

I went over to pick-up for lunch and decided to stay since they have outdoor seating with misters (very much needed in our 100 degree summers!)

They also have curb-side pick up AND a drive-thru.

My lunch was delicious - the chicken blt was soo good, especially on the bagel. It was so soft and not overly chewy. As a coffee-girlie, I can confidently say their coffee is DANG good.

I am so happy this is nearby, and I worry greatly for my wallet lol

New spot is sooo good! Definitely recommend ordering here.

Very good place for a breakfast bagel. I keep coming back and getting more. Seems more affordable and much faster than those other bagel places. I also tried a few of their other items and was impressed. A+++++

Delicious bagels.

Don and his staff are AMAZING. The breads are to die for! Don’t take our word, head on over and see for yourself. Just south of AZ Wilderness. Oh, the staff does not accept tips, they are paid fairly but will gladly donate your tips, just ask the staff about their great program. 🥖

Pizza bagel and pizza slices are so good! Walk in and order and then wait for your order at the outdoor tables. My to-go order was perfect and still good warmed up at home!

amazing fresh and great location

Don Guerra’s new location provides amazing bread and bagels, available 7 days a week. Love the reuse of a former A & W or Sonic location. Easy parking and the outdoor tables are very comfortable and clean. I greatly appreciate that this Tucson business expanded north to Gilbert. This simple review barely touches upon the commitment this small business has made to AZ, local grains, and amazing bread.

My wife and I have been twice. The food and flavors are wonderful, but the wait is a little unreasonable - I ordered from the drive thru and waited 30 min for my food last week. You can download their app but it's inconvenient to do so just for one restaurant - I really wish there was a widget to order thru their website directly.

Everything we had was delicious and service was friendly and impeccable. The rosemary sea salt bagel was a standout.

Ordered a BLT BAGEL the bacon was Rubbery chewy. Had one bite and spit it out and left the sandwich on the table and left.

To Don Guerra, James Beard award winning baker, I bestow upon you St. Honorius, Patron St. Of baking.... legend tells that when word of his appointment as bishop reached his family home, his old nursemaid, who was baking bread at the time, announced that Honorius was not more going to be a bishop than the baker's peel she was leaning on would become a tree. The wooden peel promptly grew roots and branches becoming a blackberry tree that pilgrims still could see 900 years later....

Don, it was great meeting you and your team today! This is your baby and it shows! We stayed at the In-town Suits ( best price on a place to stay $469 weekly, upgraded room daily $69) we noticed that Barrio Bagel & Slice was being worked on, alas we moved before they finished... today I had the time to take a look and disappoint Was never in the cards! Clean, friendly, spacious, lots of parking, homemade food with love!
I asked for the everything bagel, but just after devouring the bagel, I thought, humm, I ordered the everything bagel with cream cheese and got the plain bagel with cream cheese. Non the less I am in no way disturbed by that! I don't know if you have had a real homemade bagel before, but when done right you get this amazing crispy, light and clean taste. Just throw dirt on me I'm done! With whipped cream cheese! About 1.5 oz of added deliciousness, I'm a fan of alot of cream cheese!

On to Chilepin Chedder Fougasse (I will call it the pretzel cheesy bread) look at the pictures then you tell me..lol. I chose that one specifically because of its shape, that may add to consistent baking of the bread, not sure. They have the regular unholy ones too. Not spicy BUT flavorful, little bite in the end. I'm turning part of this into a sandwich with turkey and all the other goodies!
Knowledge is power!
Chilepin Chedder Fougasse bread: A decorative flat bread leavened with a combination of wild yeast (levain) and baker's yeast. Sharp cheddar and spicy chiltepin peppers create a bold flavor.

Chiltepin peppers: The bright red Tepin Chile (Chile Tepin) is only wild chile native to the United States. One of the smallest chiles, about ¼-inch in diameter, it has a smoky taste with intense, but short-lasting, heat. The Tepin chile has a rich history in the cultures of the indigenous peoples in the area encompassing the Southwest US and the northwestern Mexican state of Sonora. Today, the dried chiles are most often crushed and used to add heat to salsas, soups, stews, chili, beans, dried rubs and Tex-Mex dishes, or used simply as a zesty seasoning at the table.

Fougasse, the French cousin of Italian focaccia, offers a delightful combination of flavors and textures. It's known for its chewy, crusty exterior and light, airy interior, often with a slightly salty, savory taste reminiscent of herbs, olives, and sometimes even a hint of cheese.
