Barrio Queen

Had a great lunch and enjoyed a couple of the margaritas and burritos (Pork chili rojo). The pork was tender with lots of flavor and a little heat. I highly recommend this one, but my next visit I have to try something else.

I went in around 4, so it was slower, I sat down at the bar, they greeted me with a genuine hello. They bartender gave me my space but didn't ignore me, that's was cool. I ordered a sprite and the Aztec enchiladas, it came out hot and it tasted pretty good. I must say there is a little unfamiliar smell, but it didn't ruin my time. Everyone on the staff seems too be working and very considerably polite. 1 of the TVs was a bit fuzzy on the screen but other than that, overall I belive I had a genuine experience for a single male sitting at the bar. 🍸

We love mexican food. I was expecting more from this place. I ordered a carne asada plate, and it was decent. It wasn't hot or warm. The chorizo taco and cheese stuffed Chili was the same. Good flavors, especially the guacamole. It just felt like it was waiting in the kitchen before I ordered. Chips and salsa were the highlight. And finally, service could be better when you go with your family of four and spend almost 200 bucks.

Good flavors, colorful, helpful staff (when we called to clarify some of the items). Ordered on DoorDash but even without the added fees, it ended up being pretty expensive. They do have a variety of items.

We have been wanting to try Barrio Queen for some time, and now we've been there twice this week! On our first visit, we were there for lunch, and I tried a Pescado Asado taco and a Mezcalita (a hand crafted) drink. My husband got two tacos: the Mar y Tierra (surf & turf) and a Camerón Asado, and he had a Jalapeño Margarita.
The taco(s) came by themselves, with no sides. I was satisfied, not stuffed or starving. They bring you FRESH made chips and salsa. If you like hot, ask for it. It's worthy! 🙌 They don't just up the heat; it actually has an incredible flavor! Having the chips while waiting for food was enough to close the appetite gap. I don't know about you, but I hate restaurants that provide you with huge portions and charge higher prices. I prefer when they pay better attention to the quality of food and the complexity of flavors. This is where Barrio Queen wins!
On our second trip, we went for dinner. I ordered 2 Mar y Tierra tacos and a side of Chorizo refried beans. My husband ordered the Tamales atro platter and substituted for the Chorizo refried beans (we like chorizo!)
The restaurant itself and the restrooms were very clean (huge in our book!). We sat at the bar both times, and our service was a bit slow. This could be because there was only one bartender for the entire restaurant. There seemed to be plenty of waitstaff and runners for how busy they were. We would definitely go back, bring friends, and encourage you to try it! We give it: 👍👍
