After a welcome greeting- and a 20 min wait(around 3:30pm on a Sunday). We were texted our table was ready, we go inside to be greeted again and asked if it was ok to sit outside. On a normal sunny AZ day I'd say sure why not however with a bit of chill in the air I said no only to be told it would be another 20-25 min wait to be seated inside. Asking what we prefer would be a question to ask when you put a name on the list- i also mentioned if the bar was available before putting our name in. Safe to say we won't be enjoying the food here for a while if ever- hostess showed no empathy- to give this a 1 star is a huge compliment. Guess I'll stick to Caramba's until this place can get it together. read more

Came in for Cinco de Mayo and this place was zoomin! The Dj was playing really great music and definitely turned it into the place to be! The fire performer was a great addition and something I had never seen there before! Definitely stepping up their game to match some of the other newer hot spots in the Valley! We will definitley be back for the atmosphere, food and delicious drinks. Big shout out to the bar team who kept cranking out drinks all night! read more

The food is amazing and the service is aswell. It is such a beautiful place to be in, and the vibes are good. The servers treat you amazing. The kitchen manager is very helpful with food allergens. read more

I visited this location today and OMG what a beautiful restaurant, but the best thing was the food and the service. Dioney was my server and for sure he deserved a raise his knowledge was exceptional and the recommendations he made were great, also the over all service from him was over the top like a 5 stars restaurant service. I ordered the pork Chile rojo and it was so delicious. I want to recognize one of your managers as well I believe his name is Ricardo was a great customer service he provides I was observing him and he was touching every table with a HUGE smile. He came by my table few times to make sure everything was great he even had a conversation with my son which I thought it was great he make sure we feel very comfortable. Thanks Barrio Queen fir the great food, fun atmosphere and for the great service from the server Finley and the manager Ricardo. read more

We came to Barrio Queen on cinco de mayo, it was very busy, which is easy to understand. But our server Kailee was so awesome. Attentive, quick, kind, and had excellent food recs--everything you'd want in a server. You'd be lucky to have her as your server! Bartender Chris was also a total pleasure and clearly working very hard all night. read more

The ceviche here is the worst I have ever had. The shrimp tasted like rubbery imitation shrimp & the ceviche had absolutely no flavor. It was like runny watered down tomato sauce with giant shrimp chunks and barely any cilantro, onion, or cucumber. Definitely not close to being worth $14 read more

I am totally disappointed with the Bell Road location. Originally visited this place in Old Town Gilbert and was happy to see they opened in the west valley. The only reason I am giving this location 2 stars is because the staff was very friendly and accommodating. We had the Arizona burrito which is a green chili pork burrito smoothed with green tomatillo sauce and drizzled sour cream, no sides for $15. .The most distinguishing flavor was the sour cream? The burrito size itself was pretty deflated considering I could have gone to a Filiberto's and gotten a fatter and more flavorful burrito for $5. I actually tasted more of the green tomatillo sauce and sour cream than the green chili? We added a side of the refried beans which is made with chorizo. If you are a true fan of tasty mexican food skip this location. Again very disappointing. They tasted like bland unsalted canned refried beans mixed with a slight hint of chorizo. Save your $$$ folks. read more

Barrio Queen - Green Chili Pork Burrito, side of refried beans - Mexican Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

The chips and salsa rocks! First of all. I got the enchiladas suizas not the best I've ever had, another person in our party ordered the same and agreed. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their food in the party of 8. The services, restaurant, atmosphere were great otherwise. I'd go again and stay away from the enchiladas. read more

The place has cool decorations; the food was good. Their chips and salsa was delicious! I had hard time decide what to get; I got trios enchiladas. We didn't have that great waiter; he was sloppy, spilled water on our table & food, didn't bother to check on us for satisfactory. We were seated in the back large room, and the floor was dirty. Our experiences would have been better if we had better waiter. read more

I thought it was a little higher priced for the amount of food you received. We had to wait a little,but it wasn't bad. Parking is okay but they share with another restaurant so on busy nights it might be a little tight. There is plenty of outside dining, service is great ,the place is kept clean and everyone wears masks. it is open to all ages and they do sell alcohol. The food was good although some dishes seemed less in quantity. They tex you when your table is ready if it is busy. read more

The food does vary between locations quick service friendly staff nice clean environment

Al pastor is great here, then the fish taco. Also they have the best fresh nachos and salsa. The restaurant itself is quite spacious and well designed. Service was great read more

Their tacos and agua frescas are delicious. They have a good selection of their margaritas and other drinks. They give you fresh chips with salsa which is delicious! Their dessert is also delicious. read more

Nothing special here. The huge open dining room with metal ceiling causes the environment to be so loud! The concrete floor is also not very inviting. The noise level is off the charts a d the drone of the air conditioning compressor didn't help. The food is just so-so, overpriced and their carne asada burrito was more beans than meat. Overall, the noise level made it impossible to sit and chat at all. Not a venue I will visit again. read more

I've had much better food. The service was very poor. I sat at the bar as I was alone and didn't want to take up a table they could use for a larger group. The bat tenders yes two, pretty much ignored me. Chips came mins before my food and drink refills were almost non existent. they had no attention to detail my food came out warm like it had been sitting. I probably won't go there again at least not until they work out the kinks read more

The drinks were cold, food was hot and delicious, and the service was fantastic! David A. was wonderful and made us feel like we were family. The restaurant was also very clean and we will be coming back again! read more

Absolutely love this place, I go here every time I travel out here for work. I always ask for Kailee when I dine here too because she gives exceptional service and always goes over and beyond to make sure I am happy. She gives great recommendations as well. I'm obsessed with the molcajete entrée my favorite. read more

We decided to try this place because of the atmosphere and good reviews but I was sadly disappointed I ordered the camarones al mojo de ajo which is shrimp with garlic butter sauce. When they brought my plate the shrimp were really bland and not tasty at all they didn't even grilled them in the garlic butter sauce when I asked the waiter for some garlic sauce he brought me fresh minced RAW garlic seriously? I asked to speak to the manager all he did was grab my plate & take it I then ordered a different dish!! Not once did they apologize for any inconvenience nor did he offer me a discount! I would Never order that dish again! read more

AMAZING FOOD! We are a tough crowd and my entire family enjoyed their food. The fish tacos were amazing! We couldn't stop eating the chips and salsa, and our waitress was quick to refill them! Will definitely recommend this place to anyone! read more

Husband and I went here last night for date night. Heard all the hype about barrio queen so we decided to give it a try. Drinks were alright, food was horrible. Server was great though! read more

Came here for my nieces birthday and we regret it! Drinks were ok, the "skinny chola" was very small for $14. Michelada had hardly any beer and mostly michelada mix. Food was TASTELESS. We ordered the "nachos chingones" and they were far from that. It was a pile of chips with hardly any cheese, meat and sauce, but it had lots of onion. The shrimp tacos I expected to be flavorful but got the exact opposite. If I could sum up the taste in one word it would be barnyard. The Enchiladas suizas were packed with cheese and no meat. Asada burrito had hardly any meat and all beans. Do not waste your time coming here NOT WORTH THE WAIT TIME OR YOUR MONEY!! Nothing against the server she was helpful and understanding. Ambiance was eye catching which was why we decided to try this place out but, never again. read more

Carne Asada wasn't good. It tasted like it wasn't marinated and had a ton of fat throughout all three of my tacos. One big chunk was pure fat. I'm turned off totally now which in a sense is kind of a relief because I was spending so much money there lately, this was my fifth trip in two weeks. Back to Ajo Al's. read more

Just went to the new Avondale location. It was slammed busy but wait at 11:30 on a Saturday was 20 min. No problem. Service a little slow but waiter kept us updated and apologized. I told him its OK as he has a bunch of tables all set at the same time. He gave 100%. Ok the food, FRICKIN AMAZING. Not greasy average Mexican food. Chips and salsa good but salsa has no heat. Its smoky but mild. Drinks all were perfectly made. I eat out 5 days a week and my wife us Hispanic so I know Mexican food. This place worth the trip. read more

Beautiful spot but waited 30 minutes for our meals appetizer came out with the meals. One of our meals were missing and we were told that they would bring it out 15 minutes later we were told they had actually ran out. So they comped the missing soup and offered a free desert for the inconvenience waited another 15 minutes after pay for our tap and still no dessert or communication from staff so we decided to leave. The albondigas were salty the carne asada has no flavor. read more

This is such a lively and fun atmosphere and the food is amazing! Next time your up for Mexican food try it out!

Atmosphere 10/10, service 10/10, drinks 10/10, food 8/10... it is a nice experience. The food IS good just not the best Mexican food I have had. I would go back again though. read more

This place was awesome their salsa is amazing and I just loved it. I had the 3 tacos and my better half had the 3 enchilda trio. I have been craving since we ate there. read more

Came here for lunch and it was EXCELLENT!!! We sat outside and the misters kept us cool. Steven provided the best service we've had n a long time! We were the only ones on the patio yet he was so very attentive, friendly and helpful. So often on the patio we find ourselves forgotten or poor service at best. His suggestion for an extra sauce was spot on! He made sure our chips and drinks were refreshed and he was just delightful! Can't recommend him enough! The food was delicious. The chips were fresh and hot, perfect salsa and the baja colada was sublime! Taco tinga and a torta were our entrees and both were served with served in a lovely presentation and tasted great. Will definitely be back! read more

This is a specific disappointment in the burrito i got last night. I ordered the Azteca burrito for $18. Taste was fine but the fact that the burrito. obtained about 60% rice and several pieces of the meat were fat or something inedible made this a disappointment. The parts of the meat i got i could be okay with if there had been more of it. But $18 for a majority rice burrito is a rip off imo. read more

Oh my this lunch was awesome. The January special was a grilled pork cheese sandwich on sourdough, with fabulous tomato soup. They have socially distance seating and a sweet outdoor eating area. This place was so good & the staff superb. read more

I ordered the burrito beef. It was almost all black beans little beef and very dry. I asked for red enchilada over the burrito but it was also dry like the sauce had been painted on. The service was good but the burrito was not good. read more

The place is so cute however, the food is absolutely AWFUL!! The cocktails are the best.. but back to the food! The entrees taste as if they are factory made, TV Dinner food. This is not food, please get it together! read more

I hate writing reviews so I'll just say this... I went with six other friends and service was great, food was great, & atmosphere was great. The only problem I had was with the tableside guacamole. It's $12.50! Definitely not worth $12.50. It was a small bowl full. There were pomegranate seeds, some onion, cilantro, & some jalapeños that I opted out of. It was definitely a chunky guacamole as supposed to mashed up, which is how I prefer it. But for me that wasn't the problem. The problem was the price. I didn't take a picture but I would say it wasn't worth more than 6 or 7 bucks. Very disappointed. read more

This place never disappoints. The carne asada house special is a must try. The tacos are great, as is the chips and salsa. Also give the margaritas a try, you won't be disappointed. Of ALL the places in the Phoenix area to get quality Mexican food, this is number one for me. read more

I have came to this location many times and have had fabulous experience and service. But tonight Server: Chris M. on check #246. I had nothing but the worst service. I ordered the Molckajete plate and I told him no Napales it had them on plate, issued for extra pomegranate on my avocado dip and I had to ask one of the managers for it and even then it took for a long time to get it. He was not friendly or attractive to us and my husband took me there to celebrate my birthday and I told him please don't say anything about my birthday I'm so ready to leave already. I didn't even finish my drink - double jack tall with Sprite.. Very dispointed with the overall service and attention we received.. Not Happy read more

Delicious. Nuff said. Like guacamole? Best I've had. Tacos? Delicious. Margaritas? Tasty and artistic. Even the chips and salsa is memorable. read more

Just ok. Some of the protein was cold. Taste was average... at best. Pretty decent customer service, though.

I wanted to try this place so bad and was super excited to finally visit. The inside is super cute & they had live music which was great! But the food was so bland with no taste. read more
