If you enjoy the flavors of Mexican food this is not it! Salsa was bland, asked for a spicy one and that had a good flavor but still not spicy. My friend requested a carne asasda burrito which was dry and was mostly rice. No flavor what so ever . We will not be back, music was good read more

Have been here multiple times. Keep coming back because of delicious food and great service. Tacos are yummy, Barrio Pollo burrito is delicious and they make my favorite guacamole. Staff is super friendly and attentive. Victor is behind the bar and always gives us impeccable service as well as being very entertaining (even if his salsa moves need a little work). Will keep coming back. read more

My husband and I used to really love the food at Barrio Queen but I'm sad to say that the food has really gone downhill. First of all the ice water tastes like it could have come straight out of the toilet even with lemon added to it, so you're forced to buy a drink. Water should never taste that bad at a restaurant. The chips came out loaded with grease so we asked for another basket which was not much better, we usually eat two baskets of chips when we are there but sadly only ate a few. The salsa literally had no flavor and was very watered down. Our shrimp tacos were a huge disappointment! Two pieces of burned shrimp in tortillas that fell apart. So sad that I have to find another place to go to for shrimp tacos. read more

Went on a date night of Friday night. I wouldn't say it was too busy we waited only about 7 minutes for a table. However once we were seated it took forever for our server to talk to us and we literally waited 30 minutes for water! Our appetizer ended up being served to us before we even got water, chips and salsa. Our server was nice but not very attentive. I think especially on Friday nights they should have dedicated guacamole makers and not have the servers pull double duty. The food was good but it's hard to overlook poor service. read more

Their food is really good especially the pork chilli verde and the grilled shrimp tacos. You are able to choose different style tacos which is awesome as well. Their burritos are huge! I'd say one could feed 2 people! read more

UPDATE-- chorizo is great! Offered on a variety of tacos and entrees...don't miss out!

Went to Barrio Queen for dinner with my wife and son. We started off with chips and salsa. The chips looked to be homemade and the salsa was a smoked chipotle style (flavorful but not spicy) and was very good. My son ordered the California Enchilada with Pork, my wife ordered the Carne Asada Burrito and I ordered the Azteca Burrito. We also ordered a side of Chipotle Mashed Potatoes. All the food was very flavorful and very good. No complaints about the food at all. Our waitress was also very prompt and refilled our drinks often and the other servers also assisted when needed. The price of the dishes was a little high but the portions were large and filling. Overall I give the place 5 stars and will definitely be back. read more

We went here for the taco Tuesday special, 2.50 per taco. I ordered 3, they are just small street tacos, but the chips and salsa that they give to you filled me up. I got three different ones and I will write about each one separately. 1. Carne Asada with Chile relleno- the meat was very tender and well marinated, the "Chile relleno" was actually a jalepeno. This was a, dissapointment. The flavor of jalepeno over powered the flavor of the meat. I wouldn't get this again and hope they change it to an actual Chile relleno or at least use the correct Chile pepper. 2. Conchita Pobil- this was good, the marinated red onion was my favorite part. I may get this again, I will say I have had better. All I'm going to say is LA SANTISIMA Taco shop in Glendale. 3. Saudero Azteca (Brisket)- this one was my favorite, I wish I would have had two of these ones. Next time I will want a burrito with this meat. I will be going back to Barrio queen to try new items. Just a few suggestions; please have different salsas available with different heat levels. We all don't enjoy mild. And when we ask for something spicier please don't offend me and hand me a bottle of tapatio!!! When I go to an "authentic" Mexican restaurant I expect much better for the salsa options. Please offer other beans. I don't know any kid who would want a black bean and cheese burrito. And last, I think it's crazyv to charge $5 for a horchata. I will have to taste it next time to see if it's worth that. Better be some damn good rice water read more

Doesn't live up to the hype. Cool decor, enthusiastic staff, but the food isn't great and it's overpriced.

Love Mexican food but I got their take on the hamburger. Beef and chorizo peppers and cheese and seasoned fries and brioche bun (I think). It was really one of the best burger fries meals I've had Fun interior and nice staff We really enjoyed read more

The food is ok and the service is not that great. I would expect more for the cost. We tried it but won't be returning.

The food is yummy!!!! The service could have been better! Drinks are a little over priced for the amount of actual liquor in them

So when in Downtown Gilbert the options are remarkably plentiful for a single street. Barrio Queen was off to an auspicious start with 3 drinks making their way to the table and not being liked. The salsa was average and the chips were a little thick for my preference..... And then it happened.... I ordered the Barrio Pollo burrito and my goodness was it ridiculously delicious. The spice rubbed chicken was moist and not over powering, the pinion cream sauce brought all the components together for an forgettable bite! I highly recommend this burrito.... The wait times are a little outrageous for the entire experience so call ahead, get it to go and go sit and people watch with a great burrito! read more

We went for lunch with a group of friends, and the service and wait weren't bad at all - maybe because it was 7/3 and many people were off for the holiday. We were seated immediately, and the service was attentive and friendly. The complimentary chips and salsa were delicious. We couldn't eat enough of them! Everyone's food was quite tasty, although the taco sizes were disappointing. 3 tacos for $10 isn't outrageous, but we were expecting them to be slightly bigger. That said, the food was seasoned well. Definitely try the brisket or fish tacos - delish! Are there better Mexican options around this area? Probably. I don't think this will be a frequent go-to for us, but we wouldn't oppose to coming back now and then. read more

Got seated immediately for a table of two. The servers we had were very nice and friendly. The fries we got as an appetizer were huge!!! My tacos were delicious. Boyfriend's burrito was gigantic and he loved the tender pork! I loved the variety of tacos on the menu and the boyfriend was very impressed with their choices of Tequila. His drink was really strong. Some bang for your buck!! My horchata was absolute perfection. Will definitely be coming again with more people!! read more

Try the white sangria.. Woooo peaches!! I had the chicken burrito and it was bursting with chicken and full of flavor! Major thumbs up and the outdoor patio in downtown Gilbert is really cute and a nice place to enjoy the Arizona sunset read more

Some different dishes. Our favorite is the guacamole that is made to order at your table. Overall, we haven't loved the food and we've been in a couple times. Also, probably the most expensive restaurant in the heritage district. read more

I was pretty pleased with this place. I don't remember The name of what I ordered, but it was one of the house specialties. It was fine, just not to my taste. The service was really good as well. The only thing I could ask is that they would offer flour chips as my sister is allergic to corn. It would've been much appreciated. read more

Went to Bario Queen Monday night for dinner and margaritas and everything was perfect. We has a great server names Dani, that was on her game. Our drinks were up fast, and so was our food. I had a classic Margarita and my husband had a beer. This was only our second time going eating and drinking here but both times were excellent experiences. Maybe we'll make this our Monday night hang out. read more

The food is consistently delicious!!! We love Taco Tuesdays.... The drinks are yummy! The guacamole is the best!!! The atmosphere is always fun!! Cheers!! read more

Service Great! Athmosphere great! Food..... not the greatest , Chips were greasy, Salsa not too much flavor Chile relleno wasn't anaheim chile and wasn't battered Chile en nogada didnt have ground beef inside , big chunks of meat instead, needs more flavor Change the chef! read more

Awesome place, great food, and a great bar. Victor, Heather, Dakota, and Luke are amazing behind the bar. I highly recommend stopping by for a beer, tequila, or margarita! read more

Best Mexican food place I've ever been to! A little pricey but you can't find flavor like this anywhere else that I've found.

A great looking restaurant with very good food and awesome service. They serve Chiles en Nogada which is definitely a rare item to see on any menu. They were surprisingly good considering how difficult those are to make. All of the other food was delicious as well and the place itself is a lot of fun. read more

Very cool atmosphere, delicious fresh agua frescas, lots of menu choices, excellent service. We had the mushroom loaded queso and it wasn't our favorite. My carne asada sandwich was amazing however and my mom loved her shrimp enchilada. Will definitely be returning to try more! Looking forward to trying their plethora of tacos read more

Love the happy hour here! Green chili pork fries are delicious! $5 Casa margaritas are also amazing.

Yikes. I rarely give 1 star but to be honest, we couldn't get out of there fast enough. It was obvious that this restaurant has poor management. Our server seemed new, was not well trained. The employees did not work as a team. He kept asking others for help and no one would stop to help him. The servers seemed like they really didn't want to work there. Our server was sweating profusely. I felt bad for the guy. He brought us chips and salsa and took our order and we received glasses of water 5 minutes later. Obviously, he wasn't set up for success in his role. The food was below par. There are just too many good Mexican restaurants around to bother coming back for food that isn't good. And downtown Gilbert has great options to choose from. Barrio Queen needs to step up their game or they will be left behind by the competition. I'm glad we didn't pay for it since we had received a gift card from someone. You couldn't pay me to go back there. read more

Great tacos and good price. Service is decent and the chips are top notch. Great atmosphere. Check it out

Not nearly as good as Barrio Cafe. Had the Pollo burrito w Chorizo. Simply average. Chips were great. If you have the time go to Barrio Cafe in Phoenix. It's awesome. If you are from out of town definitely be sure to get to the one in Phoenix(it's the original.. read more

This review is just for Taco Tuesdays!!! I love the large selection of street taco's on the menu. I go in about 2 Tuesdays a month for Taco Tuesdays! I like them all, try them all! 4 taco's for $10 which is enough plus the chips and salsa they bring you. Pretty cheap! read more

Worth going for the fresh made chips and salsa alone. They have about 21 types of tacos on the menu. They have a big menu. I had Horchata and Melissa had Hibiscus water. Giant Margarita glass full. Then I had the 3 taco's for 10.00 and she had 2 of her own. I had Al Pastor, the Shrimp taco, and the Chicken Barrio. Melissa had Carnitas and a Fish. Melissa said the Fish was "one damn good taco" and the Carnitas was good. For me, the Chicken was OK, because I don't care for creamy sauce in a taco - messy and drippy. The shrimp was good, but nowhere near the Tortilla Fish shrimp taco. The Al Pastor was great. I will definitely get that one again. Service was slow. Food took a while, but the chips and salsa are great. After we asked for the check it took a long time to get it and the waitress kept forgetting the to-go containers, etc. read more

Loved the service, atmosphere, and fresh made table side guacamole. My $2 Tuesday tacos were delicious and the service was FAST! great drinks too, try the Titos with fresh lemonade and the red sangria. Great place for vegetarians! read more

What a great place to dine with friends and family. Ten of us were seated outside as it was a beautiful day. Our waitress was very friendly and helped us order from their vast menu as this was my 1st time there. We ordered a round of drinks, appetizers and then lunch. Our waitress was awesome as she kept everything coming without missing a beat. Everything was perfect. As it was Sunday, we all enjoyed watching Football on several of their TV's. If you like Mexican food, this is certainly the place to enjoy it. read more

Excellent drinks, guacamole is good but we like Barrio Cafe's better. Food was good, but Carne Asada Enchilada sauce had a bitterness to it that my wife didn't like. Queen/spinach enchilada was really tasty. read more

First time here, the bartender was very helpful in explaining the different tequila drinks and made a great one. Wait time wasn't to long to get a table. Cory our server was very knowledgeable explaining the menu and made awesome guacamole. The food was very authentic and delicious. read more

We just came home from eating at this restaurant. We were on a waiting list for 2 other places besides this place, we got a table here first. The food was somewhere between OK to good. Nothing to write home about though. However the service was the worst we have experienced in a very long time. Our server walked right past our table several times and never checked on us even with all of our drinks empty. She finally brought brought 2 refills of diet coke and iced tea but never refilled the person drinking water. Consequently she had nothing to drink with dinner. Having family members who have worked as servers in the past, we ALWAYS leave at least a 20% tip. This woman in no way deserved that much reward for the poor job she did. However when it came to paying the bill, she used a hand held device to run the card . She stood RIGHT AT THE TABLE while we tried to work the device. Furthermore, the lowest amount the device would let us leave is 18% which is 8% more than we thought she deserved. So in addition to the rest, paying the bill was a very uncomfortable experience. Serving is a difficult job but there is no excuse for what we experienced today. As for this review, steer clear of this place. There are many other Mexican restaurants in the East Valley that are WAY BETTER than this place. Good food and good service has been sacrificed for trendiness. read more

Great atmosphere here, all of the food in our party of 6 looked delicious. I had the steak burrito and the table side guacamole. The burrito was awesome but the table side guacamole wasn't up to par with other places I have been I thought. I would want to go back again to try some of the street tacos. read more

Luke and Victor are the absolute best bartenders. We come in here every Friday solely to see these two. Great food and great service every time. read more

Delicious tacos and drinks. Great atmosphere and music. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Genius! The flavors and combination of textures are amazing. Took a little while but I'm not mad at that like some people can get lol. Our server was very attentive, delightful man. Really I can't get over the pomegranate in the guacamole!! Such a great combination!! I had the 3 tacos: fish, carne asada, and brisket. Superb. I will definitely be back and bring friends. read more
