I really enjoyed Barrio Cafe in Phoenix, so we thought that we would give Barrio Queen Scottsdale a try.
This is a much larger restaurant, with cool decor but too many chachkies for sale. The waiter was patient and attentive. Our only complaint regarding service was that another person brought us a menu of specials AFTER we had already ordered! It would have been nice to see it before!
The Carnitas Michaocan was plentiful, but not very flavorful. Disappointing for a whopping 20 bucks! It didn't even come with any tortillas. The ones I ordered on the side were three baby street taco tortillas. The loaded fries appetizer was good. I would have rather had that for a meal, to be honest.
The kids had the Carne Asada tortas. They each ate very little, but said it was good. Who knows, really? The rest of our party had street tacos. Very expensive at 3 tacos for $10 and extra for any rice and/or beans. The Carne Asada and pastor had a pretty good flavor.
The chips and salsa were good. The iced tea was weak. I recall the Phoenix Cafe having a great passion or fruit tea. Not here.
I don't know that I will come back to this location. For what you receive, not worth the high price.
