Party of 13- no reservations but we were quickly accommodated! The waitress took everyone’s order and before we could finish the appetizer, the food was being delivered to the table! 13 different plates and not 1 complaint!! This was literally a last minute lunch before heading to the airport. We gave the assignment and Barrio Queen completed the mission! Thank you for making this experience a great one-even with a couple little kids! We will make another trip out.

Comida a today madre, indeed! Recommended by an Uber driver, we came here on our first visit to the Old Town Scottsdale area. Really fun merch at the checkout area. Huge bar! Our first waiter kind of forgot about us, but then we got Juan! Absolutely fabulous service. Super personable and efficient. Give him a raise!! Loved the chopped salad with shrimp. And the Skinny Cholla. That slanting glass makes you notice less when you've had a few! My husband chose The Queen (nothing new there) and loved it. It was not quite too hot to sit outside in the shade, so we had a lovely lunch in the patio. Fabulous!

Went for Friday happy hour and they had such great deals on frozen margaritas ($6) and tapas ($4-$6). Their famous guac was the highlight, with pops of flavor from the pomegranate and it’s made in front of you. Our server was also very attentive and friendly.

Came for a worker dinner with a party of 9. Easy reservation process. The food was great. We had street corn and I had three tacos. The salsa was also excellent. I got two margaritas, both of which I had our server surprise me. They were fantastic. I tried the death one too and it was spicy! But good. The atmosphere was a little too loud for me, but I'd still go back. It was a nice experience.

We started out with their "World Famous" table-side guacamole with pomegranate seeds and it was delicious. We ordered the steak fajitas - we had to send them back because the meat was so tough you couldn't even bite through it. They happily exchanged our fajitas for chicken fajitas, which were really good. The chips are thick and have good flavor, but they would be much better if they came out warm. A great location sitting on their outside deck watching people walk by. Recommended, but hopefully our bad steak was an anomaly.

Stopped in here for lunch after walking around Scottsdale. We were one of the first to be seated, by the time we left the restaurant was packed! That is always a good sign. We had the protein bowl and salad for lunch. The portion sizes were very large. They also serve chips and salsa. The food was excellent. There was enough to bring home another meal. Parking can be a challenge. We found free parking in the garage right behind the restaurant. We will be back!
