About Barrio Queen

Barrio Queen offers a very good dining experience, with delicious food and drinks, including excellent margaritas. The live music is enjoyable, although it can be a bit loud at times. The restaurant serves large portions, and the margarita flight with three different flavors is highly recommended. The guacamole with pomegranate arils adds a sweet touch, and the churros are served with caramel, chocolate sauce, and ice cream, making them far from dry or festival-style. The food is often praised for its flavor, with homemade salsa and tortillas noted as tasty. Customers appreciate attentive service from staff members, including prompt and attentive servers who ensure guests have everything they need. The restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere, and many visitors plan to return for the good food and friendly service.

However, some guests have had less positive experiences. One visit was affected by sun exposure, as patio shades did not fully block the sunlight, spoiling the evening. Service can sometimes be slow, with long waits for a waitress or delays in ordering and refilling drinks. There have also been issues with chips being hard, tacos being dry, and tortillas feeling stale, which disappointed some diners. Dry rice and ventilation issues have caused discomfort and pests in certain cases. Despite these challenges, many customers still find the food and drinks enjoyable and look forward to returning for the overall experience.
