This review is long overdue but hubby and I dined here about 2 years ago and I thought the food was really tasty! We did have to wait a little for a table as they were packed, but it was worth the wait. I think we had ordered their specials of the day because I can't find the dishes on their current menu, but we got a fish entree and it came with some delicious green sauce over rice and vegetables, and also one of their tamales. Both were really good. read more

Barrio Queen - Mexican Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

OMG! The food was delicious and fresh! My family and I just moved out here from LA and we have been looking for a good Mexican food spot in the area. Let me tell you... not only was the food fresh, but it was decently priced and the drinks and food on the happy hour menu were *chefs kiss*. Please ask for Edgar. He was amazing! He provided great service , was super attentive and friendly, and made some excellent recommendations. Overall, great place to eat at especially for happy hour. We got quite a few shots and our bill did not disappoint. Again, ask for Edgar cause he was amazing! He'll definitely be seeing us here again. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was great as well. We came here during a World Cup game (Mexico vs Korea) and it was a nice environment. We were able to watch the game while eating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Barrio Queen - Receipt with great prices for drinks and food - Mexican Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I tried barrio queen about 4 years ago when I first moved to Arizona. I initially ordered the camerones Al mojo de ajo (garlic shrimp) and was extremely disappointed. The service was fine but the shrimp was very lemony with almost no garlic flavor. This made me avoid barrio queen for a few years until recently. My mother and I were looking for a quick bite while in Tempe marketplace and figured we might as well try our luck and go back. Firstly it was Memorial Day but the service was excellent and our server predicted our needs before we even had to ask. The food came out fast and was very good. My mom got the chicken chimichanga and I got the enchilada trio. Both dishes were great as well as the rice and beans. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's super cute on the inside and very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will definitely be going back in the future. Thanks barrio queen! read more

3.5/5 Dined here recently for dinner as a large party on the patio outside. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Some of the chairs had bird droppings on them on both the backs and the seats which doesn't inspire me to want to dine on the patio again if the chairs aren't cleaned regularly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had the guacamole to start with and I ordered the chicken mole enchiladas. The guacamole is prepared in front of you and athough there is cilantro in it (cilantro is my food enemy), it's mixed up enough that I didn't really notice the taste of it too much. Would I pay $16+ for it in the future? Probably not but it did taste pretty good. Honestly, guacamole isn't that hard to make at home so it wouldn't be worth the price point for me. The chicken mole enchiladas were well prepared and exactly as advertised. I requested them with no cilantro and they were happy to oblige. I had two of the enchiladas before getting a little tired of the taste of the mole so got the rest to go. The rice and beans that came with it were well prepared. Service was very friendly but was slow to get us things we needed. We had to remind the server about food and other items. I think they were short staffed that day so I think that was the cause for some of the lag in service. read more

Barrio Queen - Black Mole Enchilada no cilantro - Mexican Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

We wanted to enjoy this great weather while it lasts so we chose to eat at the patio at Bario Queen Tempe marketplace. This is one of our regular hangout spots that we frequent and one might think that 5-stars may be a little over the top for a local chain restaurant located in an outdoor mall. Bario Queen Tempe deserves the 5 stars for being consistently consistent at delivering great all around experience time and time again. The staff were warm and welcoming. The food was fantastic and fresh. The table side guacamole with pomegranate is a MUST TRY! We tried a variety of Tacos and the Cochinita pibil. All were delicious and flavorful. The service was excellent and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the patio was comfortable with ample shade provided by large umbrellas.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It is so important to have repeated, good experiences at the same place! Great job Bario team! Keep it up! read more

Came for a drink, stayed for the service!! Angel Qui was the best ! Something about being called corazón while getting served a margarita just feels like a great experience! Also have you ever had a table side Paloma?!! Fresher than fresh, cuts the fruit and squeezes the juice right in front of you, 10/10! Will definitely be back! read more

Great tasting food and good pricing ask for angel heis one of the kindest servers i have ever met

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Indoor / outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Location convenient with lots in the area. Food was just eh. Tableside guac was good and salsa good. Menu is not the friendliest to navigate. The entrees were lack luster for taste. Service was just okay... [[HIGHLIGHT]]sat outside and it was near closing time ?[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall it's just okay read more

Barrio Queen - Mexican Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I've tried Barrio Queen once before at the Phoenix location and wasn't very impressed, so I wasn't sure what to expect this time. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing back then or maybe this Tempe location is just better because dinner was delicious. The chips and salsa were great, and the salsa had a nice kick. My steak tacos were packed with flavor and loaded with meat. My drink was also really good... strong, and fruity. Even though Tempe Marketplace was packed on a Sunday night, the restaurant itself wasn't too busy, and our server was attentive. I'd definitely come back! read more

We were in the area visiting and stopped by this area to check it out and do some shopping. Decided to have lunch & dropped by with our friends and our kids. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were promptly seated after entering and the restaurant was bright & decor was nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The waiter was helpful & able to answer our questions and accommodate our requests. We ordered bean and cheese burrito with fries, chicken tacos with rice and chicken tenders with fries for the kids. It all comes with a drink & dessert! (Such a treat for the little ones). For the adults we had the combination fajitas, which comes with steak, shrimp and chicken on top of all the peppers and onions. It also had a side of rice & beans and tortillas. Such great flavors and very tasty. Our friends had their tacos and also enjoyed it. We also had drinks and shots and this place definitely nailed all the drinks. You can actually taste the alcohol in it and it wasn't watered down at all. The staff were super friendly and helpful & we enjoyed talking to them. Definitely will be back when in the area again. It was a great experience for us. read more

Been craving a shrimp taco, and noticed this location listed on Yelp's list of shrimp tacos in Tempe as I was in the area for my hair appointment. For a Sunday evening, they weren't too busy and I was seated immediately. It did take some time for my server to greet me, but I think they only had one server on for both inside and the patio. I wasn't too fussed as it gave me time to check out the menu as it was my first time to this chain of restaurants. Plus, I enjoyed looking at the decor as the restaurant is well decorated with sugar skulls. When my tacos (camarón asado and pescado asado) arrived with my sides (calabacitas and rice), I had no silverware and had to wait about ten minutes for my server to return to ask. I tried to overlook and chalk it off to being split between too many tables, but it also took over 10 minutes for a box when I requested. When the check arrived, I wasn't sure if you pay at the table or up front, so after about 5-10 minutes of my card sitting on the receipt, I went up front. Awkwardly found out you do in fact pay at the table and the server said they were busy cashing out a table on the patio. Always feel bad, but I had waited long enough to doubt where you pay. If the food is stellar, I can overlook the service being a little less than par due to staffing. Sadly, I didn't find anything special about either taco. I ended up getting Rubio's the next day and preferred theirs. Though, I'll say the chips and salsa were delicious. Perhaps I'll try again in the future as it could be an off night, and I've heard friends say they like this chain. read more

The service was great but the food was pretty bland and basic. My husband's carne asada tacos were dry and had no seasoning, no lime or salsa was provided with the dish. It was just dry meat and a dried out tortilla. My burrito was so bland, I ate half and decided to stop. Daughter had children's tacos, and she didn't want to fishing her meal either. Good service, our waiter was awesome but the food had absolutely no flavor. Very disappointed, considering the $ we paid. read more

Service was good, food was borderline terrible. Table side guac that had too much lime. Street corn was ok. Ordered the steak quesadillas as an appetizer with little meat all on one side and barely any cheese - it was $19!!! The burrito bowl was all lettuce, chicken was rubbery, shrimp overcooked - another $20. I was so excited with these reviews but it was a complete bust at $100 for two people. So bummed. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Came here in a Sunday night and it was good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots of art, lots of people, and a great bar for cocktails.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was good, got the carne asada plate. It comes out on a hot skillet so be careful you don't burn yourself. The asada was delicious and the rice was good. The prices are a bit high but maybe that's just the times now... read more

Today I went Barrio Queen and I ordered Shrimp Enchiladas and they gave me 3 rolled tortillas w three grilled hard cooked shrimp on top and the sauce was terrible and nothing had flavor . I was very disappointed. I will never come back. My friend ordered the carne asada and that was poor with no flavor. read more

I ordered delivery. The veggie taco was perfect, although very very well salted. Presumably ever ingredient that went in got a sprinkle. The enchiladas we less sauced than I'd have expected. Thank goodness for beans as side for dipping. The rice? So good. Bits of corn and flava.... yes. I sloppily dolloped the sour cream, gon on judge. There's picture to help with that ;-) read more

Angel Q made our dining experience superb! He was efficient, communicative and full of character. We will definitely return!

Barrio Queen is a fantastic Mexican restaurant with okay service. First, I love the aesthetic. Stark white walls allowed every bit of color to pop. Murals and colored glass was captivating. This was far from bland or stale aesthetics. My friend and I were seated toward the back half of the restaurant. I noted the table density was quite comfortable. Handed an illegible menu I was a bit surprised that they kept these in circulation. Where people had held the menu on the sides the ink had faded to the point it wasn't possible to read. I had my phone handy so I could pull the menu up there. I ordered the Queen enchilada with added shrimp. Despite a cream sauce and three different cheeses it was surprisingly not super rich. The three enchiladas were perfect size, lots of shrimp, and a good balance with the cheeses as the slightly sharper goat cheese contrasted nicely with the cream sauce. The beans and rice were also fantastic. I was impressed with the portion sizes because while they were filling they also weren't so much I felt I couldn't finish. The service was the one meh. Our waiter was a solemn, quiet gentleman who performed his tasks routinely. Never once did he smile or show any real customer service skills. It was a bit of a shame but otherwise a lovely evening. read more

The food was good but the service was stellar! Angel Q was our server and I would go back just for him! I met a friend I hadn't seen in years at this restaurant. Neither of us had been to Barrio Queen before. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We ended up being there for 4 hours! Talking, sharing our lives, even praying at the table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server was Angel Q. He was AMAZING. It was like having a really kind, funny, and caring big brother looking after us. He never made us feel like we needed to leave or anything. 2 moms finally getting down time, and not having to be the ones cooking or cleaning! read more

Normally we go to the location in Scottsdale, but we were in Tempe and this is where my son wanted to go! We got right in on a Thursday evening! The place was packed on their amazing out door patio, so we didn't think we would get in! But they had some indoor seating! The waitress was the best, so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the menu! I love asking what the most popular items are and she literally told me " let me tell you what the most popular item is in each section, along with her favorite items" Waw that's service!! The food was out quickly despite how busy they were! I ordered the queen enchiladas My son got the carne asada burrito Both were great, so flavorful and delicious. Loved the vibe in this location, decorations were on point and they were on top of cleaning up as soon as a table was finished!! Definitely worth the visit!! read more

First visit to Barrio Queen in Tempe Marketplace -- and we're fans! Vibrant vibe, great patio seating, and super friendly service. We weren't rushed, which made it perfect for catching up with friends. The duo fajitas (steak & chicken) hit the spot, and the margarita + sangria combo sealed the deal. It's located inside Tempe Marketplace, so like any busy outdoor shopping area -- beware of traffic and take your time parking. We'll definitely be back for happy hour! Saluti read more

Went on a Thursday during lunch time and it was busy! We made reservations ahead of time for a party of 7. When we arrived we were sat right away. The ambiance is lively, loud, Mexican music in the background. It can be hard to hear the people across the table but the ones close I had no problem talking with. Ordered the 3 for $15 tacos with an horchata. They tasted good and were a good size since we also order appetizers: Mexican Street Corn, Barrio Guacamole and their free chips with salsa. Horchata was delicious! The service was delayed but it may be because every time you order guacamole the server brings out a rolling cart and makes it in front of your table. He did explain this was a very popular menu item. read more

A party of 4 ate at the Tempe site on 5/28/2026 and had the unfortunate experience of being served by a young lady with the most horrible attitude and lack of customer service. She delivered the wrong meal and never apologized for her mistake. She never checked up on our beverages to see if we needed a refill, which we did. She made us feel unwelcome since the job appeared to be a big burden for her. We will not return. read more

We were looking forward to trying this place out after talking to friends in the Tempe area. Their recommendation was a good one as we enjoyed our dinner at Barrio Queen. I decided to go with something different from what I typically like and I was glad I did. I went with the Chiles En Nogada. It was such a flavorful dish with the sweetness of the fruit with the savory of the cream sauce and the poblano and chicken. It was a great dish. What was cool is the bartender shared the story on how the dish came to be many years ago in Mexico as a celebration for a visiting Pope. My husband went with one of his favorites - Chile Verde. He wasn't disappointed as it had great flavor with tender meat. The restaurant ambiance is bright and festive. We enjoyed our meal and drinks at the bar. The bartenders were friendly and attentive. We'll definitely be back when we visit Tempe. read more

I had a delicious meal here the other evening with friends. We came on a Thursday evening, with a reservation, which I'm glad we had because it was VERY busy. Our server was fine. Since it was busy, I think they were focused on getting everyone taken care of. They had a cart that they made my friends Paloma from which was fun! The chips and salsa here were incredible! I ordered the Barrio Pollo Burrito was tasted so delicious. The sauce was everything!!! I highly recommend this and will probably order it again! The carne asada entree dinner was also delicious! read more

Last time we went and ordered table side guac the waitress brought it out with our meal so I sent an email asking if they had stopped doing the guac table side and never got a response. So guess what? We stopped going. The food and service is inconsistent. And the only thing they have going is the table side guac so if you can't get that why go? read more
