We had reservations, arrived on time and we were promptly seated. There were very few diners inside so it surprised me that it took an inordinate amount of time to receive chips and salsa or to have a drink order taken. Once we did get our food order in, food arrived promptly. It was pretty mediocre with nothing special about any of the meals. I would hesitate to consider going again
Barrio Queen- ScottsdaleResponded on December 2, 2024

Good food. Service was great until food arrived then our waitress was not around. Needed utensils for my daughter but never received. The bill took almost 20 minutes after we were done eating. Would go back because of the quality food hoping for better service.

We were a little underwhelmed - the food was very average and there isn't much ambiance. We had to get our main courses heated up since they were lukewarm. The waiter we had was very personable and provided good service. Overall, there are lots of better mexican restaurants in this price range.
