Geeze, I felt like I was back in Texas! So exciting. Love the atmosphere!
So what's going to a restaurant without ordering guac and chips? Made table side (not sure what's so awe-inspiring about that but okay). Our server topped it with craisens... Weird. Never had guacamole with craisens. Nor did I like it- who's idea was that?! I took them out. Flavor wise, it was a little bland (I guess that's why they add craisens???). But I love avocados so I ate it. Huge complaint about the chips. Get a different style. They were so hard and thick that it was not pleasant. :( again, I like avocado, so I ate it.
I ordered their summer special salad which consisted of spinach, jicima, tomatoes, etc. Was pretty good. No complaints. Not like anything was wilted or soggy. Just a regular ol salad.
My friends were all about taco Tuesday- with 3 street tacos at $10. Albeit for street tacos, it's a bit pricey. But we're in "Snotsdale" afterall. Why other reviewers scoff at the price when they know Scottsdale is over-priced in everything, beyond me. Go to Glendale if you want 3 for $6. They looked tasty and the consensus was that there were in fact, tasty.
Barrios fooled me though. I decided to order the "Skinny Chola" margarita. It tasted great, but I am convinced that it's "skinny" because it's half the size of a regular margarita yet the same price. Well played Barrio Queen... well played.
While it was decent, the only time I'll come back is if friends decide to come here.
