Queen Creek location
Heidi B.

First time trying this place. Ordering on the app was easy. Wait time was about 20 min after placing the online order. We waited 10-15 min before entering the drive thru lane and when we pulled up to the window we were told to park out front and they would bring the food out to us. We waited about 10 minutes before it was brought out. We ordered 3 carne asada tacos, a crazy potato with carne asada, chips & salsa and a slice of flan as well as 2 medium fountain drinks and it was a little over $40. Carne asada tacos were very good. My daughter's crazy potato with carne asada was also very good. Chips and Salsa, the chips were good but the salsa was just ok. We also shared some flan, we both agreed it was just ok and not worth $5. Prices are a little high. I didn't see the option for cilantro or lime anywhere. Everything seemed like it needed a little salt. Plenty of parking, a drive thru, handicap parking, nice sized patio to eat outdoors if you prefer. Overall not bad just a little over priced. I'd go back for the tacos and the crazy potato

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.

Decent food but didn't receive my drink I ordered. Phone number listed rings to an automated message saying the caller can't be reached.

Food always good and kind of a little pricey. But will come back for the tacos and the crazy potato.

I went to Barrio Queen in Queen Creek and had one of those dinners where I took photos before I…read moreeven picked up my fork. The menu is fun to look through, and the colorful artwork caught my eye right away. I ordered the enchiladas with red and green sauce, rice, and beans. The plate came out looking beautiful, with crema and cheese across the top. And of course, I had to get a margarita, the lime on the rim made it feel like the perfect start to dinner. If you're deciding what to order, the enchiladas are a generous plate, so come hungry. Barrio Queen is a fun place to sit down, enjoy a margarita, and make dinner feel like a little outing. The service is outstanding by the way.

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.

A Birthday Dinner Done Right at Origen in Gilbert!…read more I made reservations to celebrate my wife's birthday at Origen in Gilbert, and from the moment we walked through the door, it felt like we had picked the right place. First, the decor and atmosphere are absolutely beautiful. Origen has that perfect balance of upscale elegance and warmth. The wood, lighting, textures, and Mexican-inspired design create an atmosphere that feels sophisticated without feeling stuffy. There is clearly a lot of attention to detail throughout the restaurant, and it makes the entire experience feel special. Add in the live saxophone music and energy of the room, and it feels like you're going somewhere for an experience--not simply going out to eat. Then came the food. Origen does a fantastic job combining modern Mexican flavors with a steakhouse experience. The menu has plenty of choices, but everything feels intentional and elevated. The flavors were bold without being overwhelming, and the presentation made each course feel like part of the experience. From the appetizers to the entrees, we were impressed with the quality and attention to detail. And if you're a cocktail person, don't skip the cocktails. The drink menu is creative, and the cocktails aren't simply colorful drinks designed to look good--they actually have flavor and character. The mezcal-based options especially fit the restaurant's Mexican-inspired concept beautifully. It's the kind of cocktail program that makes you want to try something different instead of ordering your usual drink. But honestly, what made our night was the service. Our waitress, Ash, was phenomenal. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and--most importantly--knowledgeable about the menu. She didn't just read descriptions to us; she took the time to explain the dishes, answer our questions, and make recommendations based on what we were interested in trying. That made ordering much easier, especially with a menu that has so many interesting choices. But what really stood out was how much care Ash took to make sure my wife had a great birthday experience. She paid attention to the little things. She made my wife feel celebrated without making the evening feel forced or overdone. There was a genuine warmth to the way she interacted with us, and you could tell she understood that this wasn't just another dinner--it was an important occasion for us. That matters. Anyone can bring food to a table. Great hospitality is about making people feel seen, welcomed, and taken care of. Ash absolutely did that for us. My wife had a wonderful birthday, and as her husband, that's really what I wanted most from the evening. Origen gave us the beautiful setting, great food, creative cocktails, and atmosphere. Ash put the personal touch on the experience that made the night memorable. If you're looking for a place in Gilbert for a birthday, anniversary, date night, or just a night when you want to dress up and have a really good dinner, I'd definitely put Origen on the list. And if you're lucky enough to have Ash as your server, you're in good hands. Five stars from us. We'll definitely be back.
