    My carne asada tacos came out cold. They stuck the entire plate back in the oven…cooked avocado was gross!

    I really wanted to give this experience a high rating…the bar staff was amazing when we first came in for a cocktail. However, that was the end of the magic. The restaurant service is slow, when they were not that busy. The food was cold, poorly presented ( as in looked awful as plated), and looked like it had been sitting around for an hour. We have had previous experiences at Barrio Queen that were better but the restaurant seems to have lost its wow- factor along the way…..great ambience doesn’t make up for less-than mediocre food and service. Sadly, we won’t be back.

    The table side guac was delicious! However, I had the chicken tacos and my husband had the short rib enchiladas and both were very bland.

    Have been waiting to eat at this restaurant and made a reservation ahead of time. We were seated in the worst table in the place. A small two top within two feet of the double doors to the patio even though there were other tables empty. In addition to the ac blowing cold air directly on us we got a whoosh of cold air each time someone went through the doors to the patio which was approximately every 3to 10 seconds. Freezing cold. Asked waiter if we could move but by the time he got around to doing anything the other tables had filled up. Food was reasonably good but service was a bit sub par. Ambiance and seating was pretty horrible. Will not go back. Hostesses were oblivious just plopping people at tables with no regard to anything else.
