   We submitted a reservation and marked it was for a birthday. When we got there, we were asked if we were ok with a booth. The booth we were sat in was longer table. This combined with the noise made it hard to converse with our group. The server was either over booked or not up to speed on basics of being a server. We kept having to ask the busser for items or to get the server as he would keep disappearing or forgot about us. At the end, after having our Togo dessert delivered, we waited another 20 minutes. At which point we went and tracked him down to get our check. No apology or even an awareness that if your table is tracking you down, that there is an issue. Drink went dry. Food got cold waiting for missing items or came out cold to start. Some items were over cooked. Ordered fajitas. These came with jalapeño after asking for no jalapeños. Would have asked for them to be fixed but couldn’t find our server. Eventually ate it cold because I was tired of waiting. Ordered guacamole and was surprised that it was made table side. This was exciting. Until I saw that all he did was cut the avocado open,score it into chunks, put that in the bowl with the pico and give it a stir. No mashing occurred. Overall, it was quite a bad experience. Seems like it has potential to be good with a decent server.

   Great Margaritas! Food was very good. Service was efficient. Chips are excellent. Salsa a bit hot.

   The mild salsa for chips was too spicy. The chips dry with no flavor. The pork in the Arizona burrito was very tender and tasty. Too many better places to go

   I loved my salad and I would’ve enjoyed the taco more if the blue corn tortilla hadn’t gotten all mushy

   Well..........Not the best experience for sure. This is the first time that we have been to THIS Barrio Queen location and let's just say it lacks some huge quality control. The one at Desert Ridge and the one downtown are much better! The service was meh (we got to listen to what a rough day our server had because people were not being nice to her; something perhaps that should not have been shared with us). The food was sent back from two of the four of us because it was cold (as in the cheese wasn't melted at all in the middle). It was pretty quiet in the restaurant as a whole, but they were still obviously short staffed. Overall, I think we'll stay with the Desert Ridge location.

   It was fine. Sorta like a mexican chili's. The churros were phenomenal cuz they had applie pie filling (albeit maybe not authentic lol). My issue is they overcharged me and i didnt notice cuz i was reuniting with family. They charged me for happy hour margaritas and full price margaritas on the same bill. Good for them, they got away with it, but im disappointed i have to be that critical.
