Chuck CMay 19, 2018Barrio for beer, guacamole appetizer is really good and even had pomegranate seeds for flavor, enchilada azteca for the main course, then have the flan for dessert!!! Pace yourself, you'll need boxes.
Phoenix New TimesAugust 5, 2014This tasteful and welcoming eatery in Scottsdale's SouthBridge complex focuses on a range of Mexican cuisine from Mexican street food to sophisticated signature dishes. Read more
Lori MediateMarch 16, 2015Be there for Taco Tuesday! Back in January I had 4 different tacos for $10! All delicious but the chorizo with pork and crumbled blue cheese is incredible!
Bobby BFebruary 17, 2020The best Mexican food I've ever had! I had the Molcajetes and it was amazing! This entree gives you the opportunity to taste a lot of different entrees at the same time.- Phoenix New TimesApril 30, 2014Every Mon. from open to close the restaurant offers 1/2 off all margaritas & that includes the Skinny Cholla version that features Jose Cuervo Traditional Silver, squeezed lime juice, & agave nectar.
- Cierra CumminsJune 11, 2013The mariscos rellanos is tasty whether you enjoy it with corn or flour tortillas. The poblano pepper is stuffed with seafood and covered in a tomatillo sauce. Definitely worth a try!
French press coarse ground Chiapas coffee has mucho body and pairs well with any of the pan dulces. Conchitas are the first to go but the elotes & cuernitos are excellent. Chilaquiles are bomb!
Dan DunlopNovember 9, 2018The Barrio Pollo Burrito was phenomenal! And the Jalapeño Margarita was excellent. Overall, we really enjoyed Barrio Queen.
The barrio pollo taco is delicious! It comes with an amazing sauce. I usually think chicken tacos are boring but I'd recommend here.- Cierra CumminsJune 11, 2013Try the awesome table side guacamole. This Mexican favorite is spiced up with the addition of apricots, craisins and golden raisins. Unexpectedly delicious!
Denée CrumrineDecember 3, 2015Taco Tuesday is where it's at. House margs, and the chips and salsa and guac are delish.
Odd PrycAugust 11, 2012The app Carnitas Chili Verde - REALLY GOOD! Wow. Loved my tacos. White Sangria-eh, not so much but get a real coca-cola with sugar cane! Yum. Will return.- Charlie Allred Secure Real EstateOctober 22, 2014Tuesday night is all night happy hour! Tacos are $2.50 & drinks are $3. Chips and salsa are not free, but well worth the few dollars.
Aaron HillNovember 25, 2014#ProTip You can't really go wrong on the menu. The Wifi PW is 'ilovebarrioqueen' - great to use in a pinch if you're sending out work emails before thanksgiving.
Chris PolloneJanuary 21, 2016Great place to enjoy some southwest fare. Tried a pork in green chile dish that was good.
Schmooze AZJuly 6, 2012Happy Hour does include $3.00 house margaritas, $3.00 draft beer and $5 house wine and $3/2 tacos.... check out our HH review here http://schmoozeaz.com/blog/?p=875
Elaine YoungOctober 4, 2012Great burritos. They give the option of both green and red chili on/in the burrito. First time ever offered that and love it.
This is the kind of place where you need to soak it in, sit outside and enjoy every moment. Highly recommend the carne asada.
Bethany KiedrowskiFebruary 24, 2013The guacamole dip was absolutely fantastic! Great amazing food. Just sitting outside was super crowed
The green chili pork burrito with tomatillo sauce was good.
Tony SanchezJuly 30, 2013Get the taco trio. They have great and unique options. The pescado is my favorite.
Suzy RebsamenJanuary 14, 2012All the food is great. The service needs to have the kinks worked out. They've only been open two weeks, though. (1/14/2012)
Leah JeromeDecember 28, 2012Don't sit by the bar! But the food and GUAC was great!! Ask for limes if you get tacos, they are kinda bland. I highly recomend!!!
Libby HagedonJuly 13, 2013Pretty good. If you like awesome street tacos, check out Milagro grill or la condesa instead.
michael petersMarch 6, 2016Any other Mexican restaurant is Taco Bell. This will forthright be our destination for Mexican cuisine.
Erica MillsMay 27, 2013The huitlacoche quesadilla was really small but tasty at least. Good thing I filled up on guac and chips first!- Ivette is the most amazing waitress ever. So is her handmade tableside guacamole.
Steven KramerMay 17, 2012Very good tacos. Guacamole made to order at tableside. Nice comfortable patio.
GabbyMarch 24, 2012Fun music, tacos were kind of small, and service was so-so. Try and sit on the outside patio on a nice night :)
400 tequilas & variety of mezcals! Try the Sotol & Bacanora too
Gordon NaccaratoMarch 8, 2012It's all about the Cochinita Pibil...2 tacos for $3 at Happy Hr and $3 Margaritas
George W. OberdorfMarch 18, 2012The Tapas was incredible! Sweet atmosphere... over 250 Tequila's... oy vey!
