    Birria taco & Pastor taco - BLAND AF
    Grace C.

    If ur Hispanic & looking for some fire a*$ tacos.... This place ain't it! Its giving gringo owned "Mexican inspired" food. Super bland -- NO flavor!!! At. All. Must've been flavored with water & food coloring cuz while it has color, its plain jane. Also my order & my husband's order was supposed to come with rice & beans, they did not include it unfortunately we had to go all the way back to get it (too expensive to just to forget it!) They're avocado salsa has no flavor, no spice, N-o-t-h-i-n-g! We tried the al pastor, birria, & asada.. All flavorless the most decent one (& if u can even say that) is the birria, we also tried their Horchata & the horchata shake & its aiight definitely not authentic very light could definitely use more rice & cinnamon to it... All in all lame experience not worth ur hard earned $$$, most likely won't be back. This place needs help in the kitchen ASAP! Hire Mexican cooks, they cook with love! & actually known what theyre doing!!! AZ needs to stop building these food chains cuz it just ain't it! Just my opinion tho

    Supposed to be a Chicken Quesadilla

    Ordered a chicken quesadilla and got this mess... very little chicken and no cheese. Opened right up like a taco so little amount of cheese. Never again plus the chicken been sitting under a heat lamp for who knows.

    The burritos here are super filling and full of fresh ingredients. When we walked in they had about sixty or so huge red tomato's roasting on the grill, which was quite the sight to behold. The tortillas are so fresh and flavorful, and the salsa is just smoky roasted goodness. The only downside here is that it is an east facing building with huge glass roll up garage doors, so when the sun starts to set it's blinding, and there is just no place to get away from it.

    Receipt for a lame overpriced meal.

    It was my birthday weekend and I love to treat myself as a tradition to loaded nachos to celebrate!…read moreI heard somewhere that you cannot consume calories on your birthday. It sounds like a myth, but I'm going with it. Haha! My family and I were able to make a reservation at Barrio Queen, easily via OpenTable. Their patio was available if you wanted to sit out there, but really it was closed because of the heat so we sat inside. We had a nice, spacious booth for the four of us and the hostess was super sweet and accommodated us right away. We were greeted by our server, Hanna, who was absolutely amazing. The service was so fast. She listened to everything and she was super sweet to the kids. The kids got to color while they waited for their milk and they ordered off of the kids menu. It's very family, friendly and for 8 to 9 dollars you can get your meal, drink, side, and dessert for the kids which I think is a great price. My son ordered the cheese quesadillas and my daughter had the steak tacos. They had rice and beans and fruit as their sides and a drink of milk. Later they would get ice cream for their dessert. When we went, it was about 430 on a Friday and they have happy hour between three and six so we ordered mostly off of the happy hour menu. I ordered the watermelon agua Fresca and summer fajitas off of their seasonal menu while my husband ordered tortillas, tacos, and quesadillas off of the happy hour menu. I thought the happy our menu was amazing. For five dollars each plate you can get so much food. Altogether we were in and out and about an hour. The place itself was lively. Parking is plentiful outside in the lot. Prices are beyond reasonable. The music is fun and upbeat. You have to get the guacamole. They bring over the car and make it there right in front of you and it's delicious and healthy, too! Hanna told us the way to get such flavor and everything they make is just to roast everything. Good tip. We also had Joe, the manager come over to make sure we had everything we needed. Altogether, my family and I had the best time. My husband even said this is a five star experience and my son said this is the best place ever! My daughter loved the music and was dancing the whole time. If my family is happy, I am happy. Truly a great place to spend my birthday. Also, Hanna brought over a complementary birthday dessert. A lava, chocolate cake with ice cream and strawberries on the side. Doesn't get much better than that. We will be back, Barrio, Queen! Which I believe stands for neighborhood queen. She happens to be right in between where I live and where I work so I will see you later, queen.

    I wanted to share feedback about our visit tonight during happy hour. We usually have great…read moreexperiences at Barrio Queen, which is why this stood out. Unfortunately, service was very inattentive. At the beginning, our server offered water and we requested four waters, but they were never brought until we asked again. Throughout the meal, we repeatedly had to request basic items such as utensils, salsa..etc. What was most disappointing was that our server never checked back on our table to see if we needed anything or how our meal was. The next interaction we had was being handed the check, which made us feel rushed and as though the goal was simply to get us out the door. We enjoy Barrio Queen and have had much better experiences in the past, so I wanted to bring this to your attention in hopes that it can be addressed.

Friendly service, excellent presentation, and a memorable dining experience overall. We'll definitely be back for another tomahawk!

    This place simply tried too hard…read more The food wasn't awful, except for the salmon which was the worse I've had in a restaurant in years, but for $400 we should have left happy. We don't need to be ecstatic, but happy would have been nice. The first drink was a horchata cocktail that you could feel the gritty powder on your tongue so we sent that back. The salsas and guacamole all had way too much lime, almost like they used concentrate to make them. The filet was good but lacked salt, the skirt steak was like old meat or maybe had been thawed and re-frozen as it had a very reddish tough texture and the carbon taste wasn't appealing. The server, Josh?, was very nice and so he gets a star. The fideo (not the burrata part) gets a star The music list gets a star Sorry, the meal wasn't worth $400 otherwise, but maybe that's not the goal as the vibe is definitely a cocktail spot.
