Chili Verde appetizer was delicious. Chips are thick and good. Waiter was great,Justin was friendly and informative,and so helpful. Tacos were good but kind of soggy. Happy hour is nice with the price of tacos & appetizers. read more

Came here for the first time, for a girls night with two of my girlfriends. I have never felt so un comfortable in a bar, in my life. The blonde female bartender was extremely rude and condescending. She almost wouldn't serve a friend and I our drinks because of a tiny crease in our id's (we're almost 30) it continued through our entire meal until a male bartender took over as we were closing our tab. The food was amazing but I will never come back due to the terrible service! This being a new restaurant, I hope they make sure to take time to express to their employees that making their customers feel welcome is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT! read more

Cool concept, OK food, and good drinks but poor service and expensive. Update, I went there again with some friends - MUCH better service! Still spendy but everyone seemed to enjoy their food! read more

Drinks were good, the special drink is good but pricey but the bad review is the mole con pollo, the mole was ok , but the chicken felt and tasted like rubber. read more

I'm a bit torn about this place. I ordered the $14 stuffed poblano pepper entree but it was tiny (see picture). I did remove the cheese however. The $10 guacamole was delicious and freshly made (plus pomegranate seeds), but again, overpriced for the amount you get. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem paying for great food but the portions were just simply too small for the prices. The stuffed pepper was delicious but was gone in 3-4 bites. The chips and salsa were kind of bland, but the flavorful guacamole made up for it. I did love how fresh everything was. Restaurant was clean and had great decor. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, the bus boys were efficient and friendly, thus the reason why I am giving them 4 stars instead of 3. I will probably go back to try the tacos next time, but will not be in a big hurry to get there, and to be honest, wouldn't be upset if I never made it back there. read more

Barrio Queen - My $14 stuffed pepper. - Mexican Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

The street tacos are a little small (3 for $10) but for one dollar more, you can get a nice big burrito that will fill you up. I love the atmosphere and location. It's a great mexican place and it's very affordable considering it's in downtown. read more

First off...I'm not a food snob so this review will be pretty simple. I thought this spot was reasonably priced and had great food. The tacos tasted great and they have a wide selection of drinks. Give it a shot! read more

First time visit. Chips and salsa were below average and disappointing, but the two entrees we ordered were quite tasty. My wife got the barrio pollo burrito. It was stuffed with excellent spices, chunks of chicken, and homemade cheese sauce. It was huge. She brought half of it home. I ordered their award winning pork torta. The tender pork was piled high and covered with pico and other spices. I'd go back. read more

Happy hour margaritas are the best in town. Arizona but tito is great as well with just the right amount of heat to the green Chile pork.

We got here at 12:30 didn't receive food at until 1:20 took another 30 min for dessert. Was not worth the price and the mole was straight from the can. Food was terrible, server was good, and manager was good. Was a sad disappointment especially because we came here all the time! This is probably the last time we will go there! Go to lolo's right next door for delicious and fast food! read more

What a great place, the atmosphere is great, the staff is friendly, overall is fabulous! I love that there is a wide variety of tacos and the best part...they are sold individually. I can't alway finish a whole meal by myself at a restaurant, the portions are so large. I had the option to get just two tacos. Oh and of course when going to a Mexican restaurant there are chips and salsa, absolutely delicious! The chips and salsa are almost the deciding factor. Happy Hour is great prices and great choices. This is a great place to stop for Happy Hour drinks and chips and salsa. I had a margarita and two carne asade tacos, very very good. The only downfall was that it took awhile for us to get our checks but we did have 11 checks just at one table so it's pretty understanding. The overall experience was very pleasing I will definitely be returning to enjoy more great drinks and food read more

Twice in a row best service ever in my life. My family of 6 went for my birthday and everything was perfect. Great happy hour prices. We had 16 oz Negro Modelos for $4! Awesome 3/$10 tacos, and yummy chips and salsa. Flan for my bday and french roast coffee to die for. Fun ambiance but the best takeaway of all, the service. Our waitress Sheree and her waitress in training Maria rocked! Sheree memorized all six of our names which was so endearing, above and beyond and impressive! New fave place! read more

Great food! Great service! We sat at the bar and the bartenders were great! The mole enchiladas are the bomb diggity, too!

Had to update my review. I always make sure I give a place three goes before I leave a review. The food is great but the service is probably some of the worst I've seen, girls at the front when created are too busy texting to seat and acknowledge us, server had no idea about the menu and it took 30 minutes to get our drinks ( a Coke and a coffee). Restaurant isn't busy either, maybe 15 people in the whole place. Very confused how you can have such amazing food but such terrible terrible service. What a shame. read more

Great atmosphere here, all of the food in our party of 6 looked delicious. I had the steak burrito and the table side guacamole. The burrito was awesome but the table side guacamole wasn't up to par with other places I have been I thought. I would want to go back again to try some of the street tacos. read more

I have dined at this restaurant a few times in the last year and the food had delicious flavors with quality ingredients but it was definitely not a good experience tonight. Tonight i ordered it for delivery from DoorDash and it was the worst meal in recent times that I can remember. I have had so many great meals from doordash and this was the worst meal with poor quality in my doordash history . I. ordered a side salad and I threw it out because it was not appetizing with some green wilted spinach mixed with romaine, a few onions on top and some unripe tomato slices and some gross vingarette on the side. That salad should of been free and to be charged for that nasty salad I don't know who would eat that. I also ordered a side of chipotle mash potatoes which were missing. I ordered 3 tacos and all 3 were cold and soggy. The veggie taco was so slimy, soggy and cold, flavorless with cheese all over it. I took one bite and threw it out. My fish taco was cold and tasted fishy. The brisket taco soggy and cold was decent flavor and edible the only item I actually ate. I ordered churros for 8.00 and there were 4 tiny bite size churros with no sauce on them! I should of driven through Taco Bell and gotten their churros for a few dollars! My husband got the torta sandwich which was cold but he ate it and liked his. My husband will eat anything tho so him eating all his food does not mean it was decent. His fries were cold and soggy. I will never eat there again. I feel honestly robbed because this crappy dinner cost me 55.00 and I would of been way more satisfied having Taco Bell. This place is a joke and the take out is really expensive and underwhelming. read more

If you enjoy the flavors of Mexican food this is not it! Salsa was bland, asked for a spicy one and that had a good flavor but still not spicy. My friend requested a carne asasda burrito which was dry and was mostly rice. No flavor what so ever . We will not be back, music was good read more

Have been here multiple times. Keep coming back because of delicious food and great service. Tacos are yummy, Barrio Pollo burrito is delicious and they make my favorite guacamole. Staff is super friendly and attentive. Victor is behind the bar and always gives us impeccable service as well as being very entertaining (even if his salsa moves need a little work). Will keep coming back. read more

My husband and I used to really love the food at Barrio Queen but I'm sad to say that the food has really gone downhill. First of all the ice water tastes like it could have come straight out of the toilet even with lemon added to it, so you're forced to buy a drink. Water should never taste that bad at a restaurant. The chips came out loaded with grease so we asked for another basket which was not much better, we usually eat two baskets of chips when we are there but sadly only ate a few. The salsa literally had no flavor and was very watered down. Our shrimp tacos were a huge disappointment! Two pieces of burned shrimp in tortillas that fell apart. So sad that I have to find another place to go to for shrimp tacos. read more

Went on a date night of Friday night. I wouldn't say it was too busy we waited only about 7 minutes for a table. However once we were seated it took forever for our server to talk to us and we literally waited 30 minutes for water! Our appetizer ended up being served to us before we even got water, chips and salsa. Our server was nice but not very attentive. I think especially on Friday nights they should have dedicated guacamole makers and not have the servers pull double duty. The food was good but it's hard to overlook poor service. read more

I loved, loved, loved this place! Their food is so fresh and delicious and their wait staff is the best. When our waitress made the table side guacamole, it fascinated my two-year-old and so she made sure to make a show out of it--much to the delight of my kiddo. Anyone who can light up my kiddo's world like this when it's getting close to his bed time deserves the highest of praises. read more

Love Mexican food but I got their take on the hamburger. Beef and chorizo peppers and cheese and seasoned fries and brioche bun (I think). It was really one of the best burger fries meals I've had Fun interior and nice staff We really enjoyed read more

The food is ok and the service is not that great. I would expect more for the cost. We tried it but won't be returning.

The food is yummy!!!! The service could have been better! Drinks are a little over priced for the amount of actual liquor in them

Service Great! Athmosphere great! Food..... not the greatest , Chips were greasy, Salsa not too much flavor Chile relleno wasn't anaheim chile and wasn't battered Chile en nogada didnt have ground beef inside , big chunks of meat instead, needs more flavor Change the chef! read more

Awesome place, great food, and a great bar. Victor, Heather, Dakota, and Luke are amazing behind the bar. I highly recommend stopping by for a beer, tequila, or margarita! read more

Best Mexican food place I've ever been to! A little pricey but you can't find flavor like this anywhere else that I've found.

A great looking restaurant with very good food and awesome service. They serve Chiles en Nogada which is definitely a rare item to see on any menu. They were surprisingly good considering how difficult those are to make. All of the other food was delicious as well and the place itself is a lot of fun. read more

Excellent drinks, guacamole is good but we like Barrio Cafe's better. Food was good, but Carne Asada Enchilada sauce had a bitterness to it that my wife didn't like. Queen/spinach enchilada was really tasty. read more

First time here, the bartender was very helpful in explaining the different tequila drinks and made a great one. Wait time wasn't to long to get a table. Cory our server was very knowledgeable explaining the menu and made awesome guacamole. The food was very authentic and delicious. read more

We just came home from eating at this restaurant. We were on a waiting list for 2 other places besides this place, we got a table here first. The food was somewhere between OK to good. Nothing to write home about though. However the service was the worst we have experienced in a very long time. Our server walked right past our table several times and never checked on us even with all of our drinks empty. She finally brought brought 2 refills of diet coke and iced tea but never refilled the person drinking water. Consequently she had nothing to drink with dinner. Having family members who have worked as servers in the past, we ALWAYS leave at least a 20% tip. This woman in no way deserved that much reward for the poor job she did. However when it came to paying the bill, she used a hand held device to run the card . She stood RIGHT AT THE TABLE while we tried to work the device. Furthermore, the lowest amount the device would let us leave is 18% which is 8% more than we thought she deserved. So in addition to the rest, paying the bill was a very uncomfortable experience. Serving is a difficult job but there is no excuse for what we experienced today. As for this review, steer clear of this place. There are many other Mexican restaurants in the East Valley that are WAY BETTER than this place. Good food and good service has been sacrificed for trendiness. read more

Delicious tacos and drinks. Great atmosphere and music. Would definitely recommend a visit.

The wait was ridiculous even though 90% of the tables were open. Tacos are tiny and $3.50 each. You have to ask for chips and salsa, they don't automatically bring it or ask if you would like it. The food is very good but I've never left a Mexican restaurant hungry, first time for everything. I've been to Barrio Not a good value for the money. Joyride, which is right down the street knocks Barrio out of the water with regards to price and a friendly, welcoming vibe. read more

I like authentic Mexican Food since I am Hispanic. I have to say that Barrio Queen exceeded my expectations. I had the chile relleno and I absolutely loved that they didn't bread the chile poblano. It was filled with veggies and the flavors were a delicious combination. Atmosphere was great and the service was outstanding. We will continue to go there. read more

yesterday was the second time eating there and omg it was fabulous again!! Tuesday is taco day and the food is so flavorful nothing i have had compares to this place. Fresh ingredients from the margarita tasting like it has fresh limes with no artificial flavors or additives-to the hand made tortillas, chips, salsa, churros, pulled pork, carne asada the list goes on and on-- get in here and try it for yourself you will not be dissapointed finally a great fresh flavorful place in Gilbert read more

Amazing food. Great service. Staff I'd awesome we will be back. We are so happy to have this in our home town. Yummy

So good! Love their taco Tuesday! Only $2.50 a taco and I haven't had one taco there I don't like yet. Also save room for dessert their bread pudding thingy is to die for and the table side french press coffee is so good! read more

First time we went my husband and I almost walked out. It took 20 min to get chips and salsa and waters while a million people walked by and ignored us. The food was good. The second time when I went with friends we got amazing service but the food was not good and our orders were all wrong. read more

The table side guacamole is awesome. The vibe is great. Tacos are small, so do a full order, but they are super tasty. My wife and son both loved the place... and almost ordered a second table side guacamole! It's worth the trip to the Heritage District. read more

Great service and great food. Was a little iffy about going because of the wide range of reviews but it was a great lunch. Very flavorful food and everything was extremely fast. Will definitely return and tell others. read more
