    Birria taco & Pastor taco - BLAND AF
    Grace C.

    If ur Hispanic & looking for some fire a*$ tacos.... This place ain't it! Its giving gringo owned "Mexican inspired" food. Super bland -- NO flavor!!! At. All. Must've been flavored with water & food coloring cuz while it has color, its plain jane. Also my order & my husband's order was supposed to come with rice & beans, they did not include it unfortunately we had to go all the way back to get it (too expensive to just to forget it!) They're avocado salsa has no flavor, no spice, N-o-t-h-i-n-g! We tried the al pastor, birria, & asada.. All flavorless the most decent one (& if u can even say that) is the birria, we also tried their Horchata & the horchata shake & its aiight definitely not authentic very light could definitely use more rice & cinnamon to it... All in all lame experience not worth ur hard earned $$$, most likely won't be back. This place needs help in the kitchen ASAP! Hire Mexican cooks, they cook with love! & actually known what theyre doing!!! AZ needs to stop building these food chains cuz it just ain't it! Just my opinion tho

    Supposed to be a Chicken Quesadilla

    Ordered a chicken quesadilla and got this mess... very little chicken and no cheese. Opened right up like a taco so little amount of cheese. Never again plus the chicken been sitting under a heat lamp for who knows.

    The burritos here are super filling and full of fresh ingredients. When we walked in they had about sixty or so huge red tomato's roasting on the grill, which was quite the sight to behold. The tortillas are so fresh and flavorful, and the salsa is just smoky roasted goodness. The only downside here is that it is an east facing building with huge glass roll up garage doors, so when the sun starts to set it's blinding, and there is just no place to get away from it.

    Receipt for a lame overpriced meal.

    Food always good and kind of a little pricey. But will come back for the tacos and the crazy potato.

    It was my birthday weekend and I love to treat myself as a tradition to loaded nachos to celebrate!…read moreI heard somewhere that you cannot consume calories on your birthday. It sounds like a myth, but I'm going with it. Haha! My family and I were able to make a reservation at Barrio Queen, easily via OpenTable. Their patio was available if you wanted to sit out there, but really it was closed because of the heat so we sat inside. We had a nice, spacious booth for the four of us and the hostess was super sweet and accommodated us right away. We were greeted by our server, Hanna, who was absolutely amazing. The service was so fast. She listened to everything and she was super sweet to the kids. The kids got to color while they waited for their milk and they ordered off of the kids menu. It's very family, friendly and for 8 to 9 dollars you can get your meal, drink, side, and dessert for the kids which I think is a great price. My son ordered the cheese quesadillas and my daughter had the steak tacos. They had rice and beans and fruit as their sides and a drink of milk. Later they would get ice cream for their dessert. When we went, it was about 430 on a Friday and they have happy hour between three and six so we ordered mostly off of the happy hour menu. I ordered the watermelon agua Fresca and summer fajitas off of their seasonal menu while my husband ordered tortillas, tacos, and quesadillas off of the happy hour menu. I thought the happy our menu was amazing. For five dollars each plate you can get so much food. Altogether we were in and out and about an hour. The place itself was lively. Parking is plentiful outside in the lot. Prices are beyond reasonable. The music is fun and upbeat. You have to get the guacamole. They bring over the car and make it there right in front of you and it's delicious and healthy, too! Hanna told us the way to get such flavor and everything they make is just to roast everything. Good tip. We also had Joe, the manager come over to make sure we had everything we needed. Altogether, my family and I had the best time. My husband even said this is a five star experience and my son said this is the best place ever! My daughter loved the music and was dancing the whole time. If my family is happy, I am happy. Truly a great place to spend my birthday. Also, Hanna brought over a complementary birthday dessert. A lava, chocolate cake with ice cream and strawberries on the side. Doesn't get much better than that. We will be back, Barrio, Queen! Which I believe stands for neighborhood queen. She happens to be right in between where I live and where I work so I will see you later, queen.

    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.

The restaurant is quite spacious and offers plenty of seating. The staff greeted us as soon as we entered then we each took turns placing our orders. I was happy to see that they offer fish and shrimp options. I opted for the shrimp taco plate which comes with two decent sized shrimp tacos as well as a side of rice and beans. We all got our orders to go and I could hardly wait to eat them at home. The tacos, beans, and rice hit the spot! I appreciated the amount of shrimp. Glad to know of a good late night spot in Queen Creek!

    If you don't like tacos, I'm nacho type…read more I was next door having a wine flight and needed food by the end of the evening. I ordered the Super Nachos ($16.89 - Chips topped with carne asada, cheese, sour cream, beans, pico de Gallo and guacamole) and after having a few chips, I shoved it in the fridge. It was a late night and I try avoiding eating after 8PM if I can help it. I'm a millennial and my metabolism just isn't the same anymore, okay? Haha! I will say these nachos were just as good the next day after air-frying it (I'll admit to adding more cheese on top). The toppings are generous and I appreciate that they use the thinner chips here. I prefer the cantina-style chips. That price tag ain't cute though. Oof! Great nachos but for $17? Not sure I'd be popping back in any time soon.

    We had such a great experience celebrating my husband's 50th birthday!…read more The food was fantastic, the ambiance was beautiful, and the service was great. We had the tomahawk steak, scallops with bone marrow, and a variety of seafood and veggies. It was definitely on the pricey side, but honestly, worth it for a special occasion! A couple of things were a little disappointing. I had booked two weeks in advance and even called ahead hoping for a table near the wine cellar, so I was a little surprised to be seated in the back corner by the wall and bathroom, especially since it was a Tuesday and the restaurant wasn't very busy. I was also really excited about the ceviche I convinced my husband to order, but unfortunately, we never received it. Overall, we still had a wonderful evening and really enjoyed celebrating his 50th! You only turn 50 once!

    This experience started out as a great one! Live music, the waiter was kind and answered all my…read morequestions. I got a water to start because I was waiting for my friends (we were here for a birthday dinner last night). Before they arrived, I noticed a crusty piece of food on my water glass and didn't make a scene and notified the waiter after my friends got there and we ordered drinks. Fast forward we get our food(mind you the least expensive item we ordered was $30). My friend who was the birthday girl found not one but two hairs in her food. All of us were extremely disappointed. We came here to have a good food and a good experience and it was not that. It's hard for me to find excuses for the staff who prepared the food. Managers should be doing quality checks on everything every step of the way. People are paying for good food as well and the experience, please do better for the community. They did give her a piece of flan for her birthday and comped her meal but we would have much rather paid and had a good experience. The manager seemed very nonchalant in a way that made all of us feel like it's happened before at some point. Whoever owns this restaurant please reevaluate your staff and processes. You couldn't pay me to come back here.
