They have a large area for outside seating with mist sprayers. The guacamole is made fresh table-side and was yummy. Had the shrimp & fish tacos which were ok. The agua frescas are good and they give a large serving. read more

Been here quite a bit. Honestly, it's hit or miss with their food (tacos). Sometimes they're food is amazing and other times they're just overcooked or flavorless. This last visit I ordered the grilled fish tacos which were extremely dried out and chewy; quite nasty. I will be back, of course, given that it's a cool concept with live music... just 50/50 on the food. read more

Loving 900 yards away after 8 years of it being there I finally tried it! I can see why it's busy! Super filling ..... but the mariachi music is way too loud read more

I was excited to eat at Barrio Queen during our fall break- was a very underwhelming lunch.... Guacamole was average at best- bland, Carne Asada Burrito was ok- very little carne asada in the burrito. Tres Leches was very disappointing. Service was good. read more

5 Stars without hesitation. Barrio Queen is some of the best Mexican food I have EVER have. Starting with the salsa - it is fresh and flavorful. Everything else we had was incredible as well. The corn, tacos & queso were unbeatable. The service here was top notch and the vibes are great for families, date nights or a fun party night out. Definitely will be back as this was one of the best restaurants I have been to in awhile. read more

Amazing, delicious and the best service! Angel truly cared about our experience. He quickly served our drinks, chips and salsa. Always checked on us and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was delicious. My husband had the carne asada, I had the albóndigas soup and the kids had the barrio Queen burger and carne asada torta. Everything was cooked perfectly. Thank you Angel Q and staff for singing happy birthday to my daughter. We had the best time, we can't wait to be back! read more

This place has the best burrito in town. The Azteca is what everyone should order. It's absolutely amazing. The ambience in here is great and the service is also very good. read more

Server got several items in our order wrong. Offered to replace but the length of time it took to get the wrong stuff did not inspire confidence that the correct items would be delivered timely, especially when you have a little one with you. The chicken in the salads was bone dry, zero flavor, dressing was flavorless. I have had good food here like the burritos, but this was a huge disappointment, especially for what it cost and how much time it took. read more

Hubby and I walked here from the resort. It was a hot day, so we were happy to grab seats indoors at the bar. The bartender was attentive enough while still filling a lot of drink orders on a very busy evening. We were tired after a day of travel and he recommended we split the molcajete mixto. We figured if we were still hungry after, we could order a couple tacos. It didn't look like a lot of food, but between the steak, chicken, shrimp, cheese, avocado, poblanos and some super delicious rice at the bottom of the vessel, we were plenty satisfied. read more

Ordered on doordash, got the quesabirrias and one taco, but we thought there would be more. The taste was quite good, surprisingly filling. Also got the queen enchilada, which was also good. The last thing was the Tres leches, which was not very good. Not great taste nor texture. In general not a bad experience, but I would not return. read more

I went with a girlfriend today for an impromptu lunch. It was a little busy but we were quickly sat at the bar. Eric was our server and was very attentive throughout our visit. The drinks were amazing and the food was just as delicious. We will definitely be back. read more

We went to Barrio Queen for restaurant week. We made a reservation and were sat outside on the lovely patio. It appeared that our server and supporting staff were in over their heads with way too many tables in her section. She was running around like a chicken with her head cut off. We got chips salsa and water after about 15 minutes of being seated. The chips were quite thick and heavy but the salsa was good.we ordered a taco trio and a chili relleno. The food took quite a long time to come out but was delicious. Our server remained too busy to check on our empty drinks or removed dishes from our table. While all of the food was good, it was overpriced, and the service was poor. I will not be returning. read more

Mediocre at best... Service: literally awful, wouldn't come back based on this. Had to ask for water probably 5 times over. Food: guacamole was tasteless (no salt, no lime, advertised as table side, was not). The chips were tasteless. Entrees were OK. Drinks: margaritas, probably the only thing we had. read more

I've been wanting to try out this restaurant for a while and I went on a Saturday night with my fiancé, and we were so pleased with the ambiance and service . I really enjoyed the food because it incorporated different ingredients that I wouldn't normally choose but as soon as I had my first bite I was shocked Extremely delicious ! The chips and salsa were so addicting and the server was great. He was very communicative and vocal so I recommend Ricardo T. Thank you for the experience read more

Was our favourite restaurant on our ten day trip to Phoenix. We will absolutely go back the next time we are in town! Food was great, service was really good and it was nice inside! Amazing happy hour specials!! read more

Good food and great customer. Manager had to deliver my drinks. The Uber Eats driver did not bring my drinks.

Lunch stop during my trip in Phoenix, AZ @barrioqueen for some Tacos and Margaritas. The Surf & Turf Tacos were very flavorful and the Margaritas were tasty. I would definitely recommend stopping by if you end up in the Phoenix area! * MAR Y TIERRA- (Surf & Turf Tacos) Topped with roasted shrimp, crab, carne asada, avocado crema, pickled onions, queso fresco and fresh cilantro. Served on Blue Corn Tortillas. * EL DON MARGARITA- Don Julio Añejo Tequila, Fresh Lime Juice, Agave Nectar, and Grand Marnier Float. read more

I wish I could put 0 stars but it doesn't let me on this app. Monday night was terrible. I usually go to a different Barrio Queen location, and now I know why no one recommends this one. The hosts upfront, particularly the one with the short light hair, were clueless, rude, and when asked for directions to bathroom, I got shrugged away and rolled eyes. If I wanted attitude, I would've stayed home with my teenage daughters. lol. This wasn't much better. I would expect some decency from the first people you see when you walk in. I didn't get any acknowledgment when we left either. The service was good, food was delicious as always. Love their guacamole, definitely best thing on the menu. Love Barrio Queen, but stay away from this location. read more

New place for us. Looked on Yelp for suggestions. The first place we stopped at didn't have their outdoor dining completed. Still under construction. Did a new search and decided on Barrio Queen. The decor is great! The outdoor patio was closed. The drinks? I'm all about supporting a small business and them making money...but come on! Cadillac Margarita's we're in the wrong glass and lacked taste. $20. Nope! Nada! No good! Our food bill was cheaper for two then our two drinks. The food? I'm not a fan of this type of Mexican food. But all in all it was good and tasty. Prices were todays prices--$18-$20/person. read more

I came here on a busy Friday night. It was towards the end of happy hour so the place was packed. We sat outside on the patio and it was lovely. I don't think I could've handled the noise inside the restaurant. The food was good, I've had better and I've had worse. I really want to give them 3 1/2 stars. Yelp needs to change some of this rating. We had a couple of margaritas and they were OK. Service was very nice, our waitress was friendly and efficient. read more

Taste was there but the tacos we got weren't like the pictures on line lol. I said where's the meat? Would I go back, yeah... The bartenders attentiveness and ambience was good but they have to step it up on them tacos lol. No photos this time cause I didn't want to do them like that... I'll post next time tho. read more

I hate to do this, but Barrio Queen is so short staffed that we couldn't even get a drink at the bar. Wake up management! This restaurant used to be awesome! Get your act together before high season~ read more

Barrio Queen is a great restaurant that offers a beautiful patio for outdoor dining. Our server was very good, he provided great service and also provided advice when some of us had questions on different menu items. The tableside guacamole was delicious and it is fun to watch it being prepared. We all enjoyed our meals and they were delivered in a timely manner. Our friend had the Molé enchiladas and said they were very good and often hard to find in Mexican restaurants. Great service, nice ambience and delicious food! Note that this was the desert ridge location. There are several locations in the valley. read more

I got pick up from here for dinner a few nights ago. I was extremely disappointed and underwhelmed. My ordered consisted of five tacos, chips and salsa. The tacos were a selection of their pork and beef options (including the Carne Asada and El Pastor). The tacos were in dire need of seasoning. Very bland. I arrived before my quoted pick up time and my order was there when I arrived. I wasn't greeted and had to wait till I found someone to ask them for help. After my four minute drive home, the tacos were cold. Who knows how long the orders at waiting for pick up. Since I got carry out, I can't speak for the ambiance. I do not recommend. read more

Met here with a group while at a conference. Food was fresh and came out quickly. Drinks were good- not great.

Always like going to this place. Great taco Tuesdays big selection of different flavor of tacos. Great margaritas.

Pretty pricey but delicious. Complementary chips and salsa. If the salsa is good then so is the food. My thoughts. We got the full nachos chingones. It was delicious. Loved the cheese on it. There was a big jalapeño on top with a small Mexico flag on it. I got the 3 tacos; barrio pollo, suadero Aztec, & carne asada. They were all good. The kids meals comes with a drink & dessert either ice cream or churro. They also have a patio outside. read more

barrio queen used to have the best nachos. unfortunately they changed them recently. no more great tasting creamy cheese. instead we got nachos with a watered down sauce that I think was supposed to be the cheese. my god they were horrible! read more

Customer service was awful. We were a group of 5 and we sat for 30 minutes and never got our order taken and all we were offered was water. When we called a server they said not to expect anything to get speedier and so we walked out. Luckily no service --no tab!! read more

Barrio Queen - Menu - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

We've been enjoying the wonderful food and drink for as long as the Desert Ridge location has been open - overtime, enjoying wonderful food, expertly made drinks, and delicious food. Service has always been top notch - and the decor and cleanliness is incredible. The great review today is actually reflecting past experiences, and a one time snag today that the restaurant made right. We'll be back! Today - we each ordered a Burrito - me - the Barrio Pollo Burrito, my dining companion the Arizona Burrito. For some reason - both dishes did not come together at all - contrary to our many previous visits. The sauce was not appealing, there were no roasted poblano peppers that I could detect, and the "cartelized onion" was just crispy onion that needed more time in the pan. We marched thru most of the meal - it wasn't inedible, but not the "this tastes like it came from 'mi abuela's' kitchen" as we have come to expect. (Try their cochinita pibil... it's incredible). When the server asked - we expressed our frustration - and she was awesome! Next thing we knew - the manager was table side with his apologies and a sincere desire to understand our concerns. I was impressed with how well both of them approached the issue and took ownership! The manager went above and beyond in rectifying the situation and in doing so, ensured we're be coming back again and again as we have in the past. We love bringing out of town guests here as we're always ensured they will have a great experience. Thank you Barrio Queen for proving great service and consistency along with consistent great food keeps your customers happy, filled with delictible food, and coming back again and again. read more

Had dinner here last night! WOW! Loved the food and our server Tracy had great recommendations for us. We will certainly be back!!!

Went for lunch. Service was attentive. Music was unpleasantly loud inside. Wish I'd sat outside where it was not so loud. I had the chile relleno, which is my go to dish when I go out for Mexican. I was so disappointed. Flavor was bland. I tried to spice it up by adding salsa, but the salsa was bland too. Will not be going back read more

The food was great but I must rave about our waitress she was amazing!! For only being her second day on the floor she killed it. She was attentive, answered all my questions and was overall so great. I'd come back for her service alone. I wish I caught her name. But she was great! read more

My server Angel did a wonderful job. Attentive, quick, and charming. He did a phenomenal job getting us our food and drinks. He was on the spot with everything. Will be back because of him. Thanks Angel G!!!! read more

The service was very slow because the server had too many tables even though the restaurant was almost empty inside. The hostess made our guacamole and it was literally tasteless so the server kindly took it off our bill. My son had to wait until his food came to get his first coke because she forgot to bring it and I had requested bottled water and never got it. The food was good as usual, but the restaurant appeared very chaotic with most of the staff standing around and no manager to be found on the floor. I finally asked the bartender where the manager was, and she said that he had been in a meeting all morning, but that he was in the back in his office. If this is how he runs his floor, I can definitely see why his staff are not taking care of their customers. My husband and I are regular customers and it is definitely a hit and miss on customer service depending on who the manager and servers are and whether the manager is on the floor. I would encourage the district manager to take a hard look at how this place is being run. read more

I am basing my rating mainly on the food. The food was so salty! My carne asada tacos tasted of salt more than meat. The tacos were tiny! The salsa was good and our waitress was super nice, friendly and accommodating. She replaced my taco with one less salty. I am rating this place mainly by the food. If I were to rate the service; 5 stars and the ambiance; 4 stars. Good music, lively, nice hangout place. read more

One would expect to find traditional Mexican dishes in this kind of establishment and indeed I found them aplenty on the written menu. To start with, the chips were very nice, warm and crunchy, some of the best corn chips I've had lately. The Mexican beer selection was great as well, Oneone can't find Negra Modelo beer on tap too often. Now, the food... I had chicken Mole Poblano and that was very disappointing. The Mole was too sweet to my taste, black beans were tooI9 sweet as well and the chicken was an abomination, two very thin and burned around the edges pieces of chicken breast. They were tougher than my shoes' soles, very dry and bitter. I had this dish in proper Mexico and it's an entirely different experience, too bad this restaurant calls itself Mexican when it isn't really... As they say, one and done! read more

The worst customer service and the margaritas taste watered down. The manager was extremely rude when we were trying to get a table. Experience is everything when you go out to eat and want to enjoy yourself. This place is terrible and we will never go back. read more

Don't sit outside if you do they forget your there. -server wasn't too attentive until after the food arrived and we expressed our concern with the bad portion sizes on the tacos, incorrect burrito served and cold tortillas. - the portion size for the 3 tacos for $15 is erroneous. Less than 1.5 ounces of protein in this case shrimp and fish tacos. - see the pictures for youself had the tacos with everything on the side cause it was for my 9yr old and the other tacos for adults look at how these are served. -you get better portions everywhere and anywhere else. -lastly getting the corporate spiel, corporate control portion and cost is wack because if your in a position of authority you can make a difference you just chose not too. -very disappointed overall with service, and food. read more
