I'm so excited that Barrio Queen has opened a location closer to home! I used to live in Old Town and Barrio Queen was one of our favorite date night spots. Now we have a new favorite up North to visit! I attended the launch party tonight and loved every minute! Walking in, you are immediately taken away from the hustle and bustle of desert ridge marketplace and enter this oasis filled with ambience and charm. A huge patio welcomes you with a large tree sweeping over the tables to make for a perfect al fresco setting. The inside is just as charming if not more. It's spacious and colorful, filled with plenty of tables, a large wrap around at with both indoor and outdoor seating and even a private tequila room perfect for entertaining a private party.
The food. Oh the food. It doesn't get much better than the food at Barrio Queen! Whether it's the table side guacamole, the street tacos or one of their signature dishes, everything is excellent and the new location is no exception! The food was spot on and better with every bite. I personally love the street tacos and table side guacamole the best but I also love the enchiladas too. The staff was super friendly and I could tell the entire team has been a lot of work into making the launch, restaurant, experience, food and drinks excellent. They succeeded! I can't wait to visit again and again!
