Barrio Queen Desert Ridge Marketplace

The food? Amazing. Not your traditional Mexican food, but an elevated take on Mexican favorites. The atmosphere got 4:5 only because it was very loud (music and people talking over music) and was oftentimes difficult to carry conversation, but that is the only thing I would critique.

Amazing food service!! With the best elote I’ve had

The food was so good I had a foodgasm!

Food is typically decent, but nothing you couldn't get at any number of places. Past few occasions, the speed of service was remarkably terrible. Food comes out in decent time once you've ordered, but you'll wait to have your server greet you, check on you, or close your bill. Front of house needs a ton of work.

DAMN, were those some amazing tacos! Every piece of meat was cooked perfectly, packed with flavor from tortilla to sauce. Cannot recommend more for a nice night out with Mexican food

First time here and not quite what I expected. Food is a different Mexican variety using lots of matza in the enchiladas. Service was nothing special either. was really looking forward to a great meal out and was disappointed.

First time here. Atmosphere was very nice, service very good and the food was fantastic. I ordered the mole' and was not disappointed. I will come back.

Love coming here for either a drink with appetizers or a plate of tacos.

I love the outdoor seating area. It's open, shaded and practically has no foot traffic from people passing by.

If you want a diverse taco selection, go for a shrimp, saudero azteca and al pastor.

First time there. Expected it to be better than it was. Sat outside. Cool evening. Drinks were good. Chips and salsa were not my favorite. Salsa lacked any type of flavor. I ordered the trio enchilada. They were cold and flavorless. The beans were burnt. Who makes an enchilada dinner that's tasteless and cold? Barrio queen does. The service was great. I'm not going to return. Food is not my style.

patio atmosphere was lovely, our waitress Anna did a wonderful job. Super good recommendations and the food was awesome.

First time in Phoenix and we could not have loved this place more! The food was excellent, so fresh and flavorful. Angel Q was so friendly and attentive - made our experience extra special. The place was very clean and had a great vibe that mixed traditional and modern art.

Don't sit outside if you do they forget about you.
-server wasn't too attentive until after the food arrived and we expressed our concern with the bad portion sizes on the tacos, incorrect burrito served and cold tortillas.
- the portion size for the 3 tacos for $15 is erroneous. Less than 1.5 ounces of protein in this case shrimp and fish tacos.
- see the pictures for youself had the tacos with everything on the side cause it was for my 9yr old and the other tacos for adults look at how these are served.
-you get better portions everywhere and anywhere else.
-lastly getting the corporate spiel, corporate control portion and cost is wack because if your in a position of authority you can make a difference you just chose not too.
-very disappointed overall with service, and food.

Not from the area and went in for dinner. Food and service was fantastic. Atmosphere is laid back and casual with no rush, even though we started a couple of hours. Definitely recommend!

Overall wasn't the best mexican restaurant I've been too. Service was slow on a slow night. The food was bland in my opinion. The asada fries weren't that great kind of dry and flavorless. I most likely wouldn't reccomend or come back for the price. They also don't accommodate dogs unless they are service dogs even in an outdoor patio area. So overall experience here I give it 3 I didn't take pics because I usually don't when I'm not a fan of the food.

Picked up and missing the sides to an order.. no offense but I even tipped you guys and you get it wrong. I work at a restaurant so to go should be checked and double checked. It's not taco bell I expected to have my whole order for what I paid for it. Bummer.

Barrio Queen in Scottsdale is truly a gem for authentic Mexican cuisine. Their carne asada is a mouthwatering masterpiece, perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. But what stands out even more is the impeccable service. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and makes you feel right at home. A must-visit when in the area!

Table side guac was amazing, the drinks are always great and the atmosphere is unbeatable. It’s just a general wonderfully casual place to hang with friends for a terrific time! A+++++++!

The 4 course special was perfect. It included a tasty Barrio margarita, elote, taco plate and dessert.
