My lovely wife and I stopped there for lunch spontaneously about a week ago. Hadn't planned to but were driving past that exit on the 101 when I got hungry. Simply drove into Desert Ridge and saw it and figured "what the hell". We have dined at the original Barrio Queen, under both owners, multiple times so there was already a certain expectation. I must tell you that my expectations were exceeded. To begin with, our server, I wish that I could remember her name, she had very dark hair and was slightly older than the others, was just perfect. She should be working at a much higher end restaurant for bigger tips. She was just delightful and right on top of everything without being in your face. The food was also better than I would have expected for a "strip center" restaurant. Chips and salsa were MUCH better than most. My wife loved her fish tacos and I was pleasantly surprised by my "Sonoran" hot dog. While not all that "Sonoran" it was nonetheless really tasty. We will definitely be back when we are in the area again.
