Quesadilla
Joe R.

Creekside Taco Shack is such a fun spot to hang out, especially on nice weather days. There's plenty of space and a huge sand pit for kids, making it perfect for families. The prices are super reasonable, and the food does not disappoint. the quesadilla I had was delicious and came in a generous portion. The service was very quick and the servers were extremely friendly and quick to follow up on how our food was. A casual, tasty spot with plenty of room for both adults and kids to enjoy! Will be back!

Creek side bowl with chicken

Ambiance and drinks are 10/10, but food was bleh and overpriced. Chips and guacamole were just ok and I couldn't taste anything other than watered lettuce in my taco salad. Service was friendly and I loved the open space for kids to keep themselves busy with the added touch of toys available for all. Seating and parking is ample. Definitely a fun place to hangout and chill, but don't expect much from the food.

Steak burrito

Happy Hour: Tue-Fri, 2-6pm. $2 street tacos, $1 off margaritas and beer on Tuesdays I will say you don't go here for the food. Lols We go because it's close to our house and a good spot for a playdate since it's like a huge sandbox for the kids. There are sand toys there so no need to bring your own. It's super casual inside with plenty of seating so good for groups. There are tables with umbrellas... There is a big parking lot but I've seen it pretty full on the weekend. When you walk in, it actually feels like you are at a dive bar in a fun beachy town. You order at the window, take a number and they'll bring your food to you. There is a large menu on the wall next to the soda dispensers. I usually get a couple tacos and my kids get the chicken nuggets. Again, nothing to rave about but the food does the job. I would get the fries over the rice and beans at least bc the latter two aren't great. I've had the steak burrito in the past but for $15 it's not worth it. Not very flavorful but they're big. I have a friend who only orders the chips and salsa bc it's the only thing she's ok with. Lols There are garbage stations for you to bus your own tables. So def a good casual spot to check out with kids and if you can deal with the mediocre eats. Hehe

Crunchy Taco Basket - Beef

I've been here a ton and tried all their tacos but now and most of their appetizers. I haven't been disappointed so far. We love this place because there is not a restaurant geared towards families like this. There are areas to sit that is far away from the kids so anyone who doesn't want kids running around can sit on the other side. My favorite tacos are the pollo caliente, and the crunchy tacos are good but I recommend getting a sauce to dip them in if you're a saucy fan! Food comes out at a normal speed, I've been here on busy and slow days and service has always been good and at a decent pace.

Tiffany and Madi were amazing! Tiffany made the best jalapeño margaritas I've had in years!

This is easily one of my go-to places! It just makes you feel like you're on vacation, and who doesn't love that?! The chips and salsa, nachos, and the fish tacos are awesome!!! They have a good variety of beers and so many places to hang out! The bartenders are always friendly and welcoming! I bring all my out-of-town guests here and they love it!

Shack Steak Tacos Plate

The ambiance is pretty fun, if you want to feel at the beach with your toes in the sand this place is it, without the water. There were a lot of families which was nice because it is a kid friendly place, at least during the day. The food is okay, your typical Americanized Mexican food. Our server was not the best but he was also super young looking so maybe just shy.

Strawberry margarita.
Christina W.

Super disappointed with the service. Asked for light strawberry in the margarita and it was almost extra strawberry. Drinks were flat, asked for them to check the carbonation and the young bartender was rude. Said there wasn't a problem but she remade them anyway. The new drink had no alcohol in it and she acted like we put her out. Been coming here for years and this was the second time in a row the drinks weren't great. For the price they should be made perfect.

What a super fun lil hidden gem!! It is mostly all outdoor seating, so be prepared for that! Gives a backyard beach party vibe, lots of soft sand so if any of your party has trouble walking, stick to the patio seating. The food was very good, tacos were fresh, the sides and sauces were great and the food came quick and hot! The ordering is at the bar window and the music was a little loud so the folks taking orders said "huh?" A lot, give those poor employees a break they need to hear too!! Haha! Overall I would say the taco toppings outweighs the meat portions in the tacos, and as they are a lil pricey for tacos that come with zero sides (rice and beans) I'd say add some more protein! We will be back tho! Fun and the food was great!!

This is a super cute place in the middle of a residential area. It has a very laid back beach bar ambience. You order at the window, and given a number. Your food is brought out to you when it's ready. I got the crunchy basket- 3 corn tortillas stuffed with shredded beef or chicken, then fried. I got the shredded beef. It came with a small side of salsa. It was very crunchy and surprisingly not greasy at all. I actually would've preferred it to be a bit greasy. It was ok, pretty bland and not much flavor. I had to add extra salsa and guacamole. It was still bland. One of my friends got their chips and guacamole. The chips had zero salt, and the guacamole was very sour. Really don't understand why they don't use salt to flavor their food. How hard is that? It is a great place to hang out but the food is just not good. If you want a nice casual place to have a drink and hang out, this is a great place. Just don't expect flavorful food.

Kids sand area
Jazmarie M.

I can tell you the vibes here are immaculate, it's a wait it line to order like chipotle, but they're quick and it's very effective. We had the kids bean and cheese, mini chimis, small chips and salsa and the fried fish taco platter. The chimis and the chips and salsa were super tasty!! The fish tacos were average and the fish was crunchy just not a lot of flavor! But I would absolutely still come back

First time here so wasn't sure what to expect. A little hidden gem. That the neighborhood locals walk to. We have family who lives across the street and comes here quite often. My son loved playing in the sand and such a laid back place. When ordering there's a place you walk up to order and they will bring out your food. I ordered the Chicken Tacos. I added some guac from our chips and guacamole and some of the sauce that came with the mini chimichangas. Which I will do every-time now. So good! My Husband got the chimichangas and he liked them. Someone in our party had a bowl it came with a side of ranch and we used that to dip the chimis in and 10/10. My little one got a kids meal with the quesadilla French fries and a drink. He was occupied for the most part but did eat all his Quesadilla.

I went to Barrio Queen in Queen Creek and had one of those dinners where I took photos before I…read moreeven picked up my fork. The menu is fun to look through, and the colorful artwork caught my eye right away. I ordered the enchiladas with red and green sauce, rice, and beans. The plate came out looking beautiful, with crema and cheese across the top. And of course, I had to get a margarita, the lime on the rim made it feel like the perfect start to dinner. If you're deciding what to order, the enchiladas are a generous plate, so come hungry. Barrio Queen is a fun place to sit down, enjoy a margarita, and make dinner feel like a little outing. The service is outstanding by the way.

I wanted to share feedback about our visit tonight during happy hour. We usually have great…read moreexperiences at Barrio Queen, which is why this stood out. Unfortunately, service was very inattentive. At the beginning, our server offered water and we requested four waters, but they were never brought until we asked again. Throughout the meal, we repeatedly had to request basic items such as utensils, salsa..etc. What was most disappointing was that our server never checked back on our table to see if we needed anything or how our meal was. The next interaction we had was being handed the check, which made us feel rushed and as though the goal was simply to get us out the door. We enjoy Barrio Queen and have had much better experiences in the past, so I wanted to bring this to your attention in hopes that it can be addressed.

For drinks we got the paloma and tropical punch mocktails, they were very cute and tasty. For appetizer we tried the melted cheese (with meat add on), it was yummy but definitely very filling so don't leave us much room for our meal. The chipotle short rib pasta sauce was perfect amount of chipotle and not overpowering, it mixed well with the meat. Meat was slightly dry but once mixed in with the sauce it was still yummy. The mac n cheese was one of the best mac we have had! the crispy on top was perfect and the flavor was classic. Boyfriend got the cowboy ribeye steak, it came with veggies and mash potatoes. the mashed potatoes were AMAZING i would eat that alone. I would definitely go back to try some of their taco items!

During our previous visit, we experienced several issues, including food being served at different times, soup arriving with the main course instead of beforehand, and being given an incorrect receipt. I spoke with the owner after that visit and was promised that our next meal would be comped as an opportunity to give the restaurant another chance. We returned with friends, hoping for a much better experience, but unfortunately, the service was still subpar. The service lacked friendliness and engagement, which made the overall dining experience less enjoyable than it should have been. For the price of the meal, you would expect a much higher level of service, attentiveness, and hospitality. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. It's disappointing when you give a restaurant another chance in good faith, only to leave feeling that the experience still falls short of expectations. I believe every restaurant deserves an opportunity to make things right, but consistency, quality service, and making guests feel welcome are essential, especially at this price point. Unfortunately, this visit did not leave us feeling confident about returning.
