Been to several Bario Queen locations throughout the valley...this one just misses the mark. We sat at the bar, trying to get a quick bite and drink before a cocert nearby. Service was totally lacking despite the fact that it was dead on a Tuesday night and our bartender had no one else to attend. She was preoccupied talking to coworkers and then on her phone. I kept trying to order another round and finally gave up and just left instead. Also, the only modification I asked for on my food was no cheese, but she forgot that as well... The tacos were just ok. Nothing like the ones at the location off the 303, which I've not stopped raving about. It was clear that even though it's buy one get one for taco Tuesday, the meat was probably precooked and hot held for too long (read: dry). I work in a kitchen and can just tell it wasn't fresh. Overall, I'll just stick to other locations.

Always elegant Mexican food! I can’t resist the black mole. Service is fast and efficient. The chips and salsa are very tasty. The chips are extremely thin and the salsa is thick and mild.

If you've been to one location, you've been to them all. It is a chain after all. But, that does not mean there is anything wrong with that. BQ has very tasty food in a comfortable environment. Besides the food, I enjoy the music is at a reasonable volume so conversation doesn't need to be shouted. On our visit, we had very friendly staff and service. Most definitely recommend.

Everything was excellent. The carnitas tacos and the spicy salsa hit the spot. The only complaint was michelada was very bland.

Service was slow and had to ask multiple times for more chips and silverware. Drinks were small and over priced and just ok in taste.
Great chips and fire roasted salsa. The fajitas were good as was the trio enchiladas.

Not a good dining experience. Food was overcooked and lacked flavor and we had multiple gnats flying around our indoor table the entire evening. Though we told our server who said she'd let the manager know, we never saw the manager and no one did a thing to address the bugs.
Unfortunately this place has a lot to work towards. Service was awful, the food mediocre and the late night happy hour is just in the bar but the website won’t tell you. Then you can’t get the items on the happy hour menu at the regular restaurant even paying full price. Atmosphere and decor was really well done, wish we could have said that about the rest.
This bar location is always my favorite. The service is always amazing and the food is fantastic.
