    Al pastor torta. Side salad.
    Gina A.

    Nice looking restaurant featuring a day of the dead theme with generous outdoor seating & gourmet cocktails. Love the scratch kitchen concept that's so hot right now. Nice, concise menu. Server was good. Prices were okay. On par with similar fare in 2026. Complimentary chips & salsa were fresh. I ordered a 16 oz draft beer & an al pastor torta. For me, al pastor is a telling meat choice. If it isn't great, as in earthy & lightly sweet, thinly sliced & charred for texture & smoky notes, I do notice. I will say, Barrio Queen's pastor was almost too tender. It lacked any char, thus missing the smokey notes & texture contrast. It was almost like a stew. I didn't hate it. Didn't love it either. Side salad looked nice. Next time, I'll try a different meat choice & see if I find one that blows my mind. Otherwise, perfectly acceptable lunch or dinner spot.

    Barrio Queen is such a vibrant and festive spot--an absolute blast of an atmosphere paired with some seriously crave-worthy food! The guacamole? Oh my goodness...SO good. And those pops of pomegranate? Total game-changer--adding the most perfect little burst of sweetness and texture in every bite! I went with the trio of enchiladas, served with refried beans and rice, and it felt like such a treat to enjoy a full, delicious meal that's gluten-free (quick heads up: the carne asada is marinated in beer, so if that's a concern for you, you'll want to skip that option!) Out server rocked it and was very knowledgeable on the GF front! A bit pricy, but all in all, it made for a sweet, Sunday afternoon with the fam--great food and great vibes!

    Amazing Winter Special chimi-chinga - so light and delicious.

    This was our first visit here since moving here in July 2024. We arrived on a Saturday night after church at about 5:15 PM. There was still plenty of seating and a band was scheduled to play outside. Travis was our server and he was excellent. We would definitely ask for him next time. He was very friendly and really on top of things. Within just a minute of sitting down he'd already brought our chips, salsa and waters. He shared his recommendations which were right on point. We requested a special margarita which he wrote down the ingredients and brought it back. Nice! We ordered the winter special of the birria chimichingas and they were amazing! They came with rice and beans, which were some of the best we've ever had. We wish this would be on the menu all year round. The salsa that came with the chips was not spicy, but it had a nice little smoky flavor. Delish. I ordered the birria queso tacos, and a Carne Asada taco. The steak taco was pretty good, but the Quesa birria taco was excellent! They are both street taco size, which was fine for me as I shared my husband's rice and beans and had one of his five chimi-chingas. The band started up just as we were leaving and they were really good. Such a great experience!

    Mom and I ate here last night. Very nice artwork with lots of fun things to take in. Bright and clean, modern Mexican style. Server named Landon could not have been nicer. He made our guac with pomegranates table side. It was the best guac I've ever had. The skinny margaritas in cute glasses were excellent. Our food was perfect. So good in fact we made sure to give a sign to the cooks. We will definitely return. This is my new favorite restaurant. Very relaxing. There is a huge patio with a play place for kids to entertain themselves while parents relax.

    We had a lovely outside seat at Barrio Queen. I wish I could have read the name of our server on the ticket because she was amazing. She has worked for them for 5 years and knew the menu inside and out. Excellent service and super person!!! The food was really good. The place was very clean and inviting. Nice job!

    Amazing happy hour deals and daily specials. Great apps. Big patio and big dining room always with seats available. Unfortunately the service is very very sloooowwwww most of the times I've been but maybe that's because we always go for Happy hour?

    I ordered the crane asada taco and pozole bowl with a virgin margarita. The margarita and pozole bowl were delicious; however, I did not like the carne asada taco. The taco flavoring was a little weird.

    Elvira G.

    Happy Hour. Service was excellent. Friendly hostess and waiter. Chips very good, salsa okay. Margaritas very good. But unfortunately the taco meat lacked flavor and was dry. Chicken quesadilla was sea water salty. I would not come back for food. Yes for chips and drinks and Alex, our awesome waiter. EG Eats

    While in Queen Creek after work, I decided to check out the newest location of my favorite…read morerestaurant, Nando's. I got seated right away & was deciding what to have. I started with my usual go-to drink, Coke Zero & also a glass of iced water. Stepped out of my usual comfort zone of enchiladas for a change & ordered Huevos Rancheros. While waiting for my meal, I checked out the layout & decor of the restaurant, which I found very nice. The ambiance was steady & busy but not loud. Just perfect for an afternoon. My waiter was super attentive, checking in on me each time he came through & always giving me a big smile. Very nice man. My Huevos Rancheros were absolutely delicious & cooked just right to my liking. Perfect portion size as well. It's good to try other things on the menu & I'm glad I did. I'll definitely return, especially for their enchiladas.

Atmosphere 5/5 As seen in my photos, this is a modern nicely curated Latin themed restaurant. Great use of colors, Muriel Artwork and area dividing materials providing a clean fun vibe. Food 5/5 This was my first visit and not sure why we took so long to try Nando's. We were out holiday shopping and realized we both were getting Hangry. Our server got our drinks started and delivered our complimentary chips and salsas. Wife zeroed in on the Albondiga soup and I elected to try something less traditional and went with the Faja Pasta; a clever but simple Italian-Latin fusion dish I will re-create at home. Both were delicious and agreed we order them again. I'll be back to try two othered items off their specialty dish offerings that I'm interested in trying. Service 5/5 Friendly, timely and helpful. Food was out quickly and at proper temperature. Confusion try Fusion my Friends-SYOY!

Authentic Mexican food sounded perfect and I knew good things were in store when I arrived at 11:30am on a Friday and all of inside and outside tables were full. The inside is quaint but has quite a few tables. They also have tables out front in the shade (to call it patio seating may be a stretch, just simple tables and chairs on the exterior of the entrance). You order your food at the counter and I didn't study the menu ahead of time but the ladies taking my order were patient with me. I ordered a shredded beef taco and a cheese enchilada with rice and beans. Nothing fancy for my first time as it's hard to golf on a full stomach! I found the only open table and then hit up the salsa bar. They have 4 or 5 different salsas/hot sauces and a few other goodies. I got a small cup of each sauce and all of them were quite good. My food was colorful, flavorful and just the right away to give me some energy without being lethargic. I could go on about a few other nice things but it seems most of East Mesa already knows about this place given the high scores on Yelp from a lot of reviewers. Nothing to prevent me from giving a 5* review at this time. I look forward to trying some more dishes in the future.

Order at the counter, and they'll bring out to you. I saw a lot of things I want to try, but started with the nachos, pictured. Also had the asada fajitas the next day. Their meat is near perfect. Nice cuts, tender and not dry at all. Definitely a fan. Enjoyed both the nachos and the fajitas. Good serving sizes. Also, loved the staff! They were super friendly and welcoming. They offered to take my empty plate as I was about to. They also bud farewell to guests as they left. Felt like a really warm family place. Well lit, fun decor, clean. Very enjoyable - will be back!
