    A couple days ago we had a magnificent server named Andre. He was so friendly and kind. We came back because the atmosphere is relaxing and the food is tasty. Today our server is Chris. He's been very patient with us. I will continue to come here for the food, atmosphere and friendly service.

    We really enjoyed the food here. I recommend the birria tacos. My nephew liked their enchiladas which comes with rice and beans. I liked their bowl of elote. We had some good drinks, too. I loved their bowl hibiscus Paloma. Overall, great spot.

    The Barrio is a spot we like to go to often. Very authentic and fair price for some Mexican food. The service is always great there as well. I love the dia de los muertos vibe and decor in this restaurant and they even have an area where you can buy tee shirts and souvenirs. Today we tried the menudo and were very impressed with the flavor and size of the serving. I think they got the hominy just right as it was soft as opposed to other places that don't cook them all the way thru. The size of bollio bread was also a great compliment to the dish. I also ordered 2 chicken tings tacos, a fish taco and a shrimp taco. I just love their fresh artisan tortillas. The cabbage and garnishes in the tacos combined with their salsas is so good. We also had some Mexican street corn which is always great! To wash it down an ice cold Jamaica (hibiscus ice tea). Barrio Queen does not disappoint and as we say in Spanish, panza lleno y corazon contento (full stomach & happy heart) Gracias

    I really enjoy fish tacos. However, the fish tacos at Barrio Queen are the absolute BEST that I have ever tasted!! My daughter really enjoyed her misaka & egg skillet as well. The chips are light & crispy paired with flavorful salsa. Great service and beautifully decorated inside. I don't know why I had not come here before but we will definitely be back!! The drink menu looks enticing... looking forward to our next trip Shout out to our server Nate H for taking great care of us & making us feel welcome!

    Chips and Salsa

    We went to Barrio Queen late on a Wednesday night and the place was basically empty, so I was surprised that the service was still super slow. Our waiter was really sweet and quirky, but definitely not efficient. It took a while to get anything going, and we were sitting around a lot. We started with tableside guac, which I was excited for, especially because it came with pomegranate seeds. Unfortunately, it really missed the mark. It was bland--like it needed a serious hit of salt and some citrus to brighten it up. The queso was fine, but also tasted like it was missing something. The highlight of the appetizers was definitely the elote. For my main dish, I ordered three tacos: chicken, shrimp, and fish. The chicken was super underwhelming. No real seasoning, and the toppings didn't do much to save it. The seafood ones were definitely better - the shrimp and fish had decent flavor. But honestly, none of the tacos blew me away. The interior decor is beautiful--colorful and vibrant with lots of cool details. It definitely has the vibe down, I just wish the food and service matched it. Not the worst experience, but probably won't go back.

    HAPPY HOUR! Flautas , Empanadas, Birria Tacos, and Nachitos

    Happy hour is amazing here! Their $5 appetizers were delicious! The staff here was fantastic. They have a great drink selection that pairs amazingly with their food. Their house margarita was smooth, and not too overpowering (also $5). I will definitely be back!

    Quesabirrias Taco and Alambre Beef Taco
    Sam M.

    I visited Barrio Queen for the first time a couple days ago for lunch. It was a week day and the place wasn't packed at all so we were seated immediately. Service was good. Our waitress was friendly and checked-in multiple times. The chips are made fresh. They are good but could use a pinch of salt. The salsas were decent, although I wish their spicy salsa had more heat. For entrees I got 3 tacos and my boyfriend got the Arizona Burrito. I liked 2/3 of my tacos. The Quesabirrias was by far my favorite. The Pescado Asado was alright, the piece of fish was extremely small - they tried to make up for it by piling a heap of slaw on top. I was not a fan of the Alambre Beef. Don't think the flavors mesh well and the entire thing fell apart in the flimsy blue tortilla. My boyfriend liked his burrito. He didn't rave about it, but didn't have any complaints either. The decor inside the restaurant is really unique. Everything looks new and the place has a polished look to it. It's not the best Mexican food I've had, and I'm not rushing to come back with the variety of other Mexican restaurant options in this area - but I will come back eventually. There are some interesting menu options I still want to check out and their happy hour specials look good as well.

    Barrio Queen is a Mexican restaurant with a light "day of the dead" theme. It's fairly new, open, airy and has Mexican music playing. We were greeted immediately on arrival and seated. Chips and salsa were delivered quickly and the server took our drink order. Their chip are thicker than chips at other Mexican places and go well with their homemade salsas. Two were delivered with the chips: mild and spicy. Both are great! The spicy one has some heat without being too much. I ordered the Machaca burrito. It was ok, but quite dry. The home fries were burned. My wife loved her Gringa tacos! Our son ordered the birria tacos. These are his favorites, but, he doesn't like them as much since they no longer dip the tacos in the au jus before grilling them. Our daughter in law had the mole enchiladas and loved them! Bottom line: Decor and theme is great, Service was very good, some excellent food and some which could be better (or even much better)

    2nd course: Cocktel Coctel de Elote
    Dane B.

    Welcome to AZ Restaurant Week! Gourmet dishes at delightful prices! I visited Barrio Queen in Avondale, Arizona, during AZ Restaurant Week. They offered a four-course meal for only $33 per person, which was a great deal. All courses except for the main course only have two choices. Since this was our first dining experience at Barrio Queen, we decided to order one of each (for the 1st, 2nd, and 4th courses) so that we could taste most of what they offer on their menu. The meal started off with a flight of margaritas, with the blueberry and cucumber ones being especially good. The Casa Margarita was also tasty and refreshing. For the 2nd course, we had guacamole and cocktel de elote. The elote was another highlight, perfectly seasoned and delicious. I skipped the guacamole since I don't eat it. For the main courses, we ordered the pork chile verde, which was incredibly tender and flavorful, and the enchilada trio, which was delicious, although the red salsa was a bit too spicy for my taste. The cucumber and onion salad that came with it was a nice side dish. I didn't really enjoy the crunchy but thick chips they served. For dessert, we had both churros and flan but requested to have them to go. The food was good but the service needs to improve. Hence, the reason for giving it 3 stars. The pork chile verde we ordered initially came out incomplete, lacking rice, black beans, and corn tortillas. We had to call the server's attention, and after waiting for several minutes, the manager (I assumed) delivered the correct order. Although the manager's effort was commendable in rectifying the oversight, the wait staff should have continued checking on us, which they failed to do. Despite the slip-ups, I like how spacious the restaurant is and the large paintings hanging on the walls. It feels like you are dining in the middle of an art gallery. It makes me curious about the arrangement and decor of other Barrio Queen locations.

    Cold dry carne Asada and cold freshly made corn tortillas
    Carlos O.

    It was my first visit here looked over the menu had a variety to choose from. Went with their street tacos it says made to order with freshly made corn tortillas. Didn't meet the expectations. Carnitas flavor was good. However, the Carne Asada was dry and cold. I normally don't send food back but it was that bad. They replace him with Carnitas tacos, but that being said freshly made tortillas shouldn't be cold. It's like they've been sitting there with warm meat on top of it . Sadly, I probably won't go back.

    Flan without pecans
    Kemlyn B.

    AZ Restaurant Week #1: Barrio Queen Avondale offers a 4 course meal of $33!!! Complimentary hot chips and salsas: Mild and Habenero! Both are tasty. The Habanero has a nice smoky kick. Course 1: Margarita Flight House Margarita was so refreshing rimmed with salt. Cucumber Margarita was also a delight laced with Tajin. Berry Margarita was deep and sweet with a sugar corona. Course 2: I was going to pick the guacamole but for Restaurant Week, the guacamole is not made table side. I was not upset at all by the elite! It was served off the cob and had lovely flavored notes from sour tangy, spicy, creamy and sweet. Course 3: Enchiladas Trio I loved the black beans and cooked vegetables. I like the sauces but the enchiladas themselves were under stuffed so most of what I tasted was the lovely corn tortilla and the sauce. I should have tried the tacos. Course 3: Dessert I picked the churros without pecans but they brought me the flan instead. The flan is a little heavier than I would prefer. But different people enjoy different textures. Props to my server she was horrified to find out that I didn't get my churros. She went off to make sure that I got the dessert of my choice. The churros was amazing! Hot, crispy, tasty caramel a la mode and the Kahlua sauce!!!! Heaven! I have lunch for tomorrow!!! Thank you, Brigette for an amazing meal! The love singer was lovely!

    Patio seating and live music
    Crystal B.

    My first impression is that this place has a fun vibe!! Live music on the patio and bar access. Our party of 5 was promptly seated and we were given Brunch menus (it was Saturday) so many options I'm glad we all tried something different. I had the 3 tacos for $15 & added chorizo beans & rice for $6. Asada, Carnitas & Pescado tacos were excellent!! Quesa Birria Grilled cheese with Consume, OMG!! This one you have to try!! The Beef was seasoned perfectly and so tender! Couldn't finish it. My daughter got the Cinnamon Dolce Pancakes. I had to sneak a bit and they were delicious! So fluffy and yummy! Our waitress Lisa came & checked on us and refilled our waters. She wasn't called upon for anything so i really have no review of her. Over all the entire experience was a nice surprise. Every time I visit Arizona I look for a new place to eat. Glad I came here.

Live music was nearing the end on the patio and the night temp was comfortable so we sat outside. There was a medium size group by the couches and we sat at a nearby table. Initially the waitress was attentive, she gave us waters and silverware. Soon she became distracted talking to the group about traveling destinations and her upcoming trip to Hawaii. This was not a big deal until we waited 30 minutes to place our order and she still never came back to our table or even acknowledged we were there. We watched this waitress engage in a lively conversation even kneeling down by a customer and looking at pictures on his phone. What??? Are you working or socializing? We left without placing an order. Being ignored for that long even in plain sight of the server is unacceptable. This was a very disappointing experience and we won't be back.
