    Dirty bar
    Matthew C.

    We came around 7 pm, the bar on the outside was empty. The bar tender took 2 or 3 minutes to visit and he didnt really do anything good, or bad. Just meh. He did bring us chips and salsa and took our order timely. My wife ordered some shrimp tacos and she said they were dry and over cooked. After a while of needed refills we got ahold of a different bartender and he was pretty fun. This bartender, Dom, made jokes we weren't in the VIP section, but made sure the rest of our evening was fun. I posted a picture of it, but the bar looked like this since we sat down. It was really dirty and cluttered. I looked across and the people across from us had probably 10 shot glasses and 5 empty beer glasses. It was moderately busy, but not so busy for the bar to be a filthy mess. They needed to probably have a barback or one of the bussers come and make a run through. I give 3 stars because my wife LOVED her margaritas and Dom was pretty cool, other than that, wasn't worth the trip.

    I think this is our last stop at the Barrio Queen.. While the food is typically good the service is so bad. The last three times we've sat at the bar and you think it would be better, but it's definitely not. Waiting for long periods with no acknowledgment, no drink. The "bartender is MIA more than he's at the bar. Tonight was it. We watched over twenty plus minutes as the people next to us along with ourselves couldn't flag anyone down to get a drink or pay our bill. By the time we left my husband was so irritated. For the price you think they'd have some decent attentive service. Especially at the freaking bar.

    We returned to Barrio Queen after some time passed after a meh experience when they first opened and are glad we gave it another try! The elote ribs w were tasty, tacos were all good and the salsa was better than most. The skinny Margarita in particular was a nice balance of tart lime juice, agave nectar, and tequila. Our server was pleasant and reasonably attentive. The indoor-outdoor seating is nice in good weather. Definitely on our list to return.

    We're visiting from LA and wanted to have dinner with our family from surprise. We looked on yelped and decided to try Barrio Queen. I'm so glad we did because everyone in our group of 10 enjoyed their dinner. We started with micheladas chingonas and margaritas, so good. We moved on to appetizers and ordered the Mexican street corn, corn ribs, queso fundido and taquitos. The fresh tortillas with the queso went perfect together. The corn ribs were so good we placed another order. The taquitos with the toppings they're served with were great and we added the habanero salsa for additional flavor. We also ordered tacos, tortas and enchiladas and the flavors were perfect! The service was good, everything came out quickly and perfect temperature. The restaurant is beautiful with so many little details, like the purse hooks on the tables, the alebrije lamp shades, and so much more! This place is definitely a vibe. If you're looking for good food, good drinks and fun experience this is it.

    My husband, I wanted this location on Friday, May 16 for their happy hour from 3 to 6 PM. The restaurant was not crowded at all and we opted to sit out on the patio since it was nice. They do have spritzers available, but they weren't on when we were there. Our service was good and they have a happy hour menu on the back of the smaller menu which will show you the options to choose from for five dollars for drinks and select appetizers. We did like the birria quesadillas but we did not care for the chicken quesadilla which was skimpy on the meat when we placed the order for the second appetizer and it's only enough for two people because you get four pieces. We did also try the frozen margaritas and a regular margaritas on the rocks if you would like to add flavor to any of your margaritas it's a additional dollar more, which will make it six dollars instead of five dollars. You also receive complementary chips and salsa. We enjoy the chips but the salsa was very watery not thick at all. But it's nice since it's free just wish the salsa had more flavor & was thicker.

    Went in for their Taco Tuesday, Buy a taco get one free, great deal. I wanted to like this place, and it wasn't bad. But it was just okay. We got six tacos in total. Cochinita Pibil, Pescado, and Quesabirria were the favorites. With the quesabirria taking the most liked. They had the most flavor and had nice amounts of veggies and had a balance of flavor. The Asada, Suadero Azteca, Al Pastor were below average. The Al pastor was very sweet with no heat at all. The asada was tender and was seasoned. All three were lacking onion and cilantro. The tres leches was disappointing. There were very flavorful strawberries in the dish but I don't think there was any berry compote. Not pictured was an Azteca Burrito with rice and black beans. It was surprising dry. The beans were heavily salted, almost inedible. The rice was bland, lacking flavor. The chips were great. The red salsa was very mild, and close to being too tomato flavored. The verse salsa was a favorite and uniquely seasoned. Great service, very kid friendly and welcoming atmosphere. I would come back for this Taco Tuesday deal.

    We came here a few times this trip because we lived their menu. We came during happy hour and they had $5 margaritas, $5 appetizers and we left with a full stomach and a plan to come back soon. They had a wonderful happy hour corail menu, but their house margarita with a takin rim was absolutely delicious. For food, we ordered guacamole, two chicken tacos, the nachitos and had lots of left overs. This place has the BEST happy menu by far in this area. Besides the menu, the food is delicious and the ambiance here is amazing.

    First time to the surprise location, tried a new item off the menu. It was decent except the chicken it was dry and so gamey it wasn't great the server was nice enough to tell us upfront the kitchen was having a bad day today because almost all his orders were wrong he did offer a different chicken taco that was much better I usually go to the Glendale or Desert Ridge locations and the food and service is better . Service is very slow here

    Happy. Hour. That's it, that's my review... Fine apparently I need more words. It's only $5 actual US dollars per plate. Margs are only $5. Service amazing. Atmosphere is solid. AND you can order tacos. If this doesn't make you happy nothing will. Also the margs are strong and I'm about to go dancing.

    Noah's 10/10 of a server, very friendly and super informative when asked questions. Would come again for his service.

    The Barrio Queen has a great vibe, music, and meals. We visited during the week around noon. The food was fine.

    Sierra was amazing! Seemed like she had 20+ tables and was still handling us with patience! She really went above and beyond. Kudos to her!

    This Mexican restaurant isn't very authentic. The food was disappointing overall--tasted like it…read morewas pre-made and then microwaved, and some dishes were dry and not fresh. The drinks felt more like basic bar cocktails than anything special. Prices aren't really any cheaper than other spots, so it didn't feel worth it for the quality. Place has lots seatings, not a long wait. Service is decent. Overall, I would probably check other Mexican restaurants out.

    On Saturday, March 7th, my husband and I went out for dinner and drinks at one of our usual…read moreneighborhood spots. Since this restaurant is just around the corner, we typically come here a couple of times a week. We're there almost every Monday evening and often stop in for a lunch date during the week. Unfortunately, this visit was a complete disaster. We recently got a new puppy and decided to bring him along since the patio is pet-friendly. It was actually our first time sitting in the patio area. I ordered my usual drink: a Cadillac margarita with a side of Grand Marnier. When the waitress brought the drinks, the Grand Marnier "float" was served on the side in a standard shot glass, which normally holds about 1.25 oz - 1.5 oz. However, the glass was filled less than a quarter of the way. Honestly it looked like maybe a tablespoon of liquor, and that's being generous. I asked the waitress about it, and she explained that she was new and currently on her third day of training. She had been instructed that the float should be 1.5 oz. Lol I pointed out that what was in the glass wasn't even close to a half ounce and asked to speak with the manager. The manager came out with a noticeable attitude and insisted that this was what they consider a "float" for their Cadillac margarita. She even suggested that I must have been receiving free alcohol on previous visits. My husband looked at me completely confused and clearly irritated. The manager also mentioned that a shot of Grand Marnier costs $8, as if I was asking for something for free. At that point, I told her to keep the drinks and we got up and left. If less than a tablespoon is considered a float for a Cadillac margarita, then this restaurant is seriously misleading customers. I do want to say that the waitress was very kind and clearly trying her best. This situation was not her fault, and I wish her the best. Unfortunately, the management's lack of customer service completely ruined the experience. I'll never understand how people with terrible attitudes end up in management positions especially when dealing with customers. After leaving, we went up the street to Rio Mirage, where we had dinner and excellent margaritas. That will definitely be our new go-to spot for better food, better drinks, and far better customer service.
