    Barrio Queen is a real value with a great happy hour menu! My favorite is the guacamole made at your table with pomegranate! Delicious! The two tacos for $5 is a real bargain and my special treat is the Elotes corn side dish!

    Very busy, service was very slow. It took a long time just to get water. The biggest let down was the $15 guacamole. They used 1/2 an avocado and it wasn’t even fully ripe and mashed! Burritos were not very big and had a very spicy aftertaste.

    Our waiter was beyond horrible. He seemed irritated to do his job. My daughter & her boyfriend got waters and they both had to refills. He groaned several times like when I asked him refills on chips & salsa and my Arnold Palmer. He was grumpy, impolite and completely rude. We order sides of rice to which he ignored all together. The food was amazing. Hats off to chef and kitchen staff.

    We’ve eaten here many times. What’s happened? It’s not good anymore! The chips were greasy. Our tacos must have been up for a long time before they were served because they were cold and soggy. There was only a tater tot sized portion of fish in each of my fish tacos. The tres leches dessert was bits of pound cake layered with old strawberries and spray canned whipped cream doused in watery cinnamon milk. We won’t be back. So disappointing!
