Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Barrio Queen in Tempe offers an imaginative menu with "wonderful" food and "exceptional" service. The patio provides a pleasant dining experience, and the table-side guacamole is a standout. While the atmosphere is festive, some find it noisy. Don't miss their specials and delicious margaritas for a truly enjoyable visit.

    Love Barrio Queen. Met out of town friends here for dinner and ate on the patio. They turned the heaters on for us and it was comfortable. Delicious food, house margaritas, our server was helpful and let us take our time, we never felt rushed.

    Great chips and salsa! Our waitress was very attentive! I had the chicken burrito and it was very flavorful! Had a house margarita, it came in a small glass full of ice, with a few sips it was done. The Margarita was $12.50 definitely not worth the price for all the more you got.

    We've eaten at the Gilbert location numerous times, never had a bad visit. We decided to try the Tempe location this time, it doesn't have the same festive vibe. Server was great but the food lacked a lot. The chips were super dense not much flavor almost painful to eat. I ordered the cheese enchiladas, very bitter sauce, my husband wasn't impressed with his food either. The cocktails were the best part! We had a rough afternoon that day and didn't feel like complaining so we didn't. If we go back to any Bario Queens, it will be Gilbert and I will order tacos like I usually do.

    Food is wonderful. We eat here every time we go to Gammage for a show. We tried other restaurants at first but we always came back to BQ. Now we always pick BQ! Oscar was terrific. He was attentive and helpful. Unfortunately the music was too loud and it was difficult for us to hear each other.

    Thank you for your fantastic review, Patti! We're thrilled to hear that you love the food at Barrio Queen and that Oscar provided you with attentive service. We appreciate your loyalty, especially after trying other options. We apologize for the loud music making it difficult to converse; your feedback is invaluable and helps us improve.

    Way over priced. Food just ok and a tiny strawberry Margarita $16. Not worth it!

    The weather is starting to get nice so we took an opportunity to get seating outside. The food was great! They brought it out and made us laugh. We had a great time. The drinks were really good! The waiter was nice! The overall experience was amazing! It was nicely lit and we enjoyed our time there!
