    We don't eat at a lot of chain restaurants anymore, but Barrio Queen was fine. The tacos were tasty. It was a Friday night and getting busy, so it we sat there for about 15 mins before anyone came to our table. Our waitor was friendly.

    We took daughter-in-law to dinner for her birthday on a Sunday night. It was not crowded - very pleasant! Food was great. Had a few hiccups with what was ordered, but it was fixed completely. The server was so helpful with the cake we brought in - brought cake, plates, forks, etc. candles in the cake with lighter! He was awesome.

    We ordered the seasonal cocktails and the poleta did not come with it. No discount offered. We sat for 15-20 minutes before someone came to take our appetizer order. It came out incorrectly but no one came to the table for 15-20 minutes to check on us to send it back. We didn’t have any chips to go with our appetizer. No one refilled our drinks. The waiter was unapologetic. The restaurant was only half full so being busy was not the reason. We asked for our check and went to have dinner elsewhere.
    Barrio Queen - GilbertResponded on June 23, 2025
    Hi Kerry, we sincerely apologize for your experience at Barrio Queen. It's disappointing to hear that your order was not handled properly and that the service did not meet your expectations. We understand how frustrating it can be to wait for your food and drinks without any follow-up from the staff. Your feedback is valuable, and we will be sure to address these issues with our team to improve our service in the future. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

    Our server was on point! Chips and salsa out just after sitting down. Water glasses refilled without asking, 2nd round of chips/salsa also w/out asking. Food delicious! Dining time 5:30. Thanks BQ! Apologies to our server for forgetting your name - (3) chopped salads and enchiladas.

    Huge disappointment! Our shrimp enchilada came out barely warm. Then immediately after they brought our entrees, chicken chimichanga and rice. It was filled with dried out shredded chicken, no sauce, no seasonings. The rice was ‘crispy’, as if it was sitting under a heat lamp for a long while. Our server was not very attentive and the place was almost empty. We had a completely different experience in Tempe. I will not return since there are so many other restaurants to choose from. I would definitely not recommend going here.

    The food was alright. The tacos were good and two people from the party had them. The pollo burrito was not preferred by the diner and the enchilada sampler was tasty but the goat cheese is strong. The guacamole was good and the pomegranate seeds were a nice addition. The pozole was a little salty and the diner who ate it liked salt so that says something. The service was alright but the appetizer came at the end of the meal which was not ideal (the guacamole). This is most likely a one time visit for us.

    Been here a number of times and always enjoyed my meal. This time it missed the mark. My meal was below average. Carnitas were dry and just bland. I tried adding some salsa but didn’t help. Service was excellent. Server was attentive and friendly.

    I know Mother's Day is always tricky because it's busy, so I have taken this into consideration. However, the restaurant garage door was opened on a day when it was 103+ outside. I was sweating, the servers were sweating. It was not a comfortable experience.
