Yeahhh, nooo... it's been almost a year since we came here and I'm just now writing this review…read more My sister and I stopped in here one day because we both had never been. We were talking about trying it out and we were pretty disappointed. We ordered from a kiosk but you can order with a cashier if one is available. We found a table and waited for our food. It's been so long I can't even remember what we ordered exactly. I just remember that the food wasn't all that great. It wasn't bad, but the tortillas seemed stale. Oh yeah, if you order anything with fish, beware of the tiny fish bones! The place wasn't mad busy, but I can see this as a teen hangout. One of our dishes also came out after a really long wait. I'm not in a rush to go again, but maybe one day I'll give them another shot.

Server was good. Prices were okay. On par with similar fare in 2026. Complimentary chips & salsa were fresh. I ordered a 16 oz draft beer & an al pastor torta. For me, al pastor is a telling meat choice. If it isn't great, as in earthy & lightly sweet, thinly sliced & charred for texture & smoky notes, I do notice. I will say, Barrio Queen's pastor was almost too tender. It lacked any char, thus missing the smokey notes & texture contrast. It was almost like a stew. I didn't hate it. Didn't love it either. Side salad looked nice. Next time, I'll try a different meat choice & see if I find one that blows my mind. Otherwise, perfectly acceptable lunch or dinner spot.

And those pops of pomegranate? Total game-changer--adding the most perfect little burst of sweetness and texture in every bite! I went with the trio of enchiladas, served with refried beans and rice, and it felt like such a treat to enjoy a full, delicious meal that's gluten-free (quick heads up: the carne asada is marinated in beer, so if that's a concern for you, you'll want to skip that option!) Out server rocked it and was very knowledgeable on the GF front! A bit pricy, but all in all, it made for a sweet, Sunday afternoon with the fam--great food and great vibes!

Great find in Old Town Queen Creek!…read more True family-run restaurant, and it really stood out from the moment I walked in. Ordering at the counter was quick and easy, and the staff member helping me was friendly and gave an excellent recommendation. The food did not disappoint--everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right. the meat was tender and seasoned perfectly, and the salsas had just the right amount of kick. The portions were generous without being over the top, and you can tell a lot of care goes into each plate. Clean and welcoming, the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again. Honestly, there's nothing I would change about this spot. I'll definitely be back--it's a gem in Old Town Queen Creek!

We waited 10-15 min before entering the drive thru lane and when we pulled up to the window we were told to park out front and they would bring the food out to us. We waited about 10 minutes before it was brought out. We ordered 3 carne asada tacos, a crazy potato with carne asada, chips & salsa and a slice of flan as well as 2 medium fountain drinks and it was a little over $40. Carne asada tacos were very good. My daughter's crazy potato with carne asada was also very good. Chips and Salsa, the chips were good but the salsa was just ok. We also shared some flan, we both agreed it was just ok and not worth $5. Prices are a little high. I didn't see the option for cilantro or lime anywhere. Everything seemed like it needed a little salt. Plenty of parking, a drive thru, handicap parking, nice sized patio to eat outdoors if you prefer. Overall not bad just a little over priced. I'd go back for the tacos and the crazy potato

We called and asked how to do it. The person put us on hold to speak to the manager. She came back and said those coupons are only good in the store, and not good for a phone order either. We drove to the store and ordered and waited. We got home and realized we were missing 3 tacos. We called and were on hold again while they got the manager. He said he would like us to come back and get the tacos. So we did. He threw in a flan and chips which was nice. The food was good, but all in all it was a not so great experience from start to finish.

Can you just say YUM?!!!!…read more I've visited twice now and both times were just YUMMY!!!! The service at order was great and efficient. The young lady who took orders was beyond polite and kind. She took the time to explain the offerings and the daily specials despite that crowd that was there. Quick and kind to explain yet gracious - that takes skill! The food, well, it was too yummy to even take a picture of - will definitely try and take photos of the food on our next visit. Just be aware that the Quesotaco tastes best with the birria meat option - at least it was for us. But that does not discount how GREAT the food tastes and that the pricing is a great value because they do NOT skimp on the meat selection (and they have plenty!). The drink options are great as well and the agua frescas are HUGE! Great value for both (non-alcoholic) beverages and very tasty food! Ambiance is great while waiting for food as there is music playing that is fun enough to dance to while waiting! Will definitely be coming back!

I need to talk about my husband and Backyard Taco…read more This man doesn't eat Backyard Taco... he blackouts for it. We don't "order food", we trigger a ritual. The second it shows up on delivery, it's like someone rang a dinner bell for a very large, very determined farm animal with WiFi. He sees the bag and something changes. Eyes lock in. Shoulders drop. The room gets quiet. Not in a peaceful way, more like "this is about to get weird..." Then the container opens and it's game over. There is no small bite. No appreciation phase. Just immediate, aggressive commitment. It's like watching a raccoon that just discovered a full buffet and a deadline. I've seen him go from "normal human conversation" to "hunched over the table, guarding the food like it owes him money" in under five seconds. If Backyard Taco ever sponsored a documentary, I would simply submit footage of him and call it: Man vs. Taco. The taco wins. The speed is concerning. The focus is worse. I'll say something like, "Hey, did you have a good day?" and he'll respond mid-bite with a grunt that I can only assume translates to, "I have transcended this plane of existence and now live here permanently." We order delivery, which somehow makes it worse. There's no decorum. No restaurant pressure. Just pure, unfiltered consumption in the comfort of our home, like unleashing a very polite chaos monster into the living room. And yet... I keep ordering it. Because I've accepted the truth: Backyard Taco feeds my husband in a way that I cannot. And I respect that. Final rating: 10/10.

We were able to get reservations on OpenTable same day which was on a Tuesday so that's expected when I came in. I was greeted by a friendly hostess, who sat us very quickly. The ambience inside is super modern and a good vibe in general. Our server, Yuri was absolutely amazing. She was super patient and helpful/accommodating with having a baby at a restaurant. They DO have high chairs! She also gave a really good recommendation of the ceviche which me and my wife found phenomenal! It was a different style of ceviche than I typically get and the variety of seafood as well as the sauce that it was marinated with was delicious. One thing, though that I would say that for personal preference at least would be that I wish they had some spice on it that would've sent it to the moon. I also got the steak the filet mignon specifically and I would've done the mashed potatoes because they sounded like they were really good, but I ended up getting potato wedges because my wife wanted some lolll The filet mignon was really good. I would say just one critique would be that it wasn't Cook the same throughout so like the right side was medium and then the side that luckily I cut into at first was medium rare so that was one downside but overall it was really good tasting steak. We also got a side of sautéed veggies, which were delicious. And then, lastly, when we were leaving or about to get the check, Yuri told us that because we are celebrating our anniversary that they wanted to surprise us with a flan! That flan was pretty good, I wouldn't say it's to die for . but I also come from a Hispanic family so I'm kinda picky. Next time I go back, I will definitely try a lot more on the menu and I have to go when I have a complete cheat meal so I can eat a lot of food! We didn't end up drinking today because middle of the week but next time I go back I have 100% will get some of their cocktails too as they look absolutely delicious! Overall, I would recommend this place. The staff was super super friendly ambience was good. The food was good and there's more items to explore on the menu

The Truly Bougie Dining club headed to Origen and it did not disappoint. I had been there last…read moreyear so I was a bit reluctant, however, and I am so happy to say they have hit it out of the park. I am so happy we chose your beautiful restaurant. For starters we were seated as soon as we checked in for our 6:30 reservation. We sat in a cozy area near the front. The ambiance was very pleasant. The table was set with beautiful plates and also big big Reidel wine goblets. Our server was amazing. Jamie made sure she gave us plenty of time to get settled and returned a few times to get everyone's drink selections and we didn't feel rushed. I ordered the Hibiscus Mezcalita, my friend ordered the December 2nd. Both were amazing craft cocktails. They were so good she ordered a second one and I ordered a Cucumber Spicy Mezcalita. Again very good. The rest of our group had beers, a few Old Fashions and an Aperol Spritz. All very good. (After dinner we were able to meet the mixologist behind the bar. He was so passionate about his craft and detailed his efforts and length it takes to make each of their signature drinks. It's very obvious he loves what he does and I should add he is the only one who creates these wonderful flavors, mostly for consistency for the rest of the bar staff. Super impressive.) Now to the even better stuff. Food was amazing. I ordered the Sonoran tacos. They were very tasty. The meat was tender. I used both sauces and the cream which is delivered to the table prior to dinner. My friend ordered tacos de Filet with the bone marrow. She was so happy with her selection. The manager Carlos actually had made his way to our table and when our food arrived he offered a hand. My friend wasn't sure about what to do with the bone marrow. Carlos stepped in and using a small spoon, spooned the bone marrow over the tacos for an added flavor. She was impressed as was the rest of our group. My other girlfriend ordered the Angus skirt steak. Unfortunately she thought her steak was a little chewy. Finally the men in our group opted for the 12oz ribeye, and the Cowboy bone-in Ribeye. Again they said the meat had great flavor, seasoned great, a great cut of meat, and zero left on their plate. They even substituted French fries for my husband which was a nice touch. Throughout the night Jamie checked on us, Carlos the manager checked on us, and we also had another gentleman come and ask us if our dinner was going good. I absolutely appreciated it. We were all so happy which made our dinner much more enjoyable knowing we were being treated with much so much care. We ended the night with dessert. We ordered a flan, a cheesecake made out of canela crackers, and a cake of some sort. All were delicious and were shared with the table. To top things off we were given a tour of this magical one of a kind restaurant. We were led to more intimate places throughout for bigger parties and celebrations. They also have a wine room filled with great wine selection. Definitely did not expect the different possibilities to entertain bigger parties. I am so happy to have returned to Origen. Thanks for a great night.
