Really great! The only complaint that I have is they were kinda stingy on the tortillas. I ordered fajitas and they only provided 3 small tortillas. I did not ask for additional tortillas and maybe they would have provided more but pretty measly really.

Food and drinks were great as always. However, we had the worst service. Our waiter gave zero sh*ts about us. Took forever to take our order, then rarely saw him...we were there two hours and he came to the table twice after taking our first order. Had to ask for a chip refill multiple times because he forgot. It wasn't even busy when we first there. It was a bad enough experience not sure I'll be back anytime soon.

A little understaffed, so service kinda slow. Entree arrived less than two minutes after appetizer, so we couldn’t really enjoy the chips and guacamole (which was fantastic, btw). But overall friendly and good food.

We are still fighting a wrong Bill issue for a part of 14. Not to mention they rarely checked on us and did not get as many drinks as we wanted. Slow service.

We would not eat here again based on the food quality. We went for restaurant week and found the drinks to be watered down and the tacos barely edible. All three meats completely lacked flavor and the pork was EXTREMELY dry.

The tables were sticky, I think more from the varnish, not dirty. I feel all places that serve drinks/cocktails should put the glass on either a cocktail napkin or a coaster, so it catches the sweat from the glass. It’s an okay place.

The chicken in the chicken chimichanga was bland/no flavor, and the red sauce used for enchilada style was terrible. I’ve eaten at Barrio Queen before and enjoyed the food; this was my first time ordering a chimichanga, It was a business lunch so I did not comment on the food. Jamie was our server and her service was excellent.
