    They have a somewhat unique menu, particularly with their tacos. Everything we've ever tried has been very good. And the churros are excellent. We've also had the tableside guacamole several times, and it really depends on who is making it. We'll probably skip it next time. Service is good, and the patio is fun!

    We sat at a large booth for a family gathering. Inside seating was open, the patio had more diners. The food was excellent and the server was so very friendly. We look forward to going again.

    The drinks, table side guac, and flan (dessert) were excellent, but the main course enchilladas were just so-so.

    The staff and service were friendly and kind, but the food and beverages have really gone downhill. We used to LOVE the Barrio Queen, but the last few times, the drinks are super watered down and the guacamole is mediocre, where it used to be a highlight. I think they must be low-staffed because the service was very slow also. It took us half an hour to get our drinks. I hope they can bring themselves back up to a higher standard.

    We won't go back. It wasn't that busy and we waited a long time at our table until the waiter came and dropped off cold and stale chips. We asked for a fresh/warm batch and he assured us they were fresh. We persisted and he relented. Service was really slow and he didn't get our order right. There are at least a dozen much better places to go. It was dissapointing.

    Disappointed - not the Scottsdale Barrio Queen we enjoyed a few years ago. Our server was wonderful, however the food was disappointing. Very little care put into the prep & presentation. Kitchen, not the Server, got one of our orders wrong. Enchiladas were light on the sauce. Tortillas that accompanied an entree came out cold. Won’t be coming back to this Barrio Queen again.
