    I enjoy the ambience of Barrio Queen, and the chips and salsa are unmatched. However, I have come to this location multiple times (5-10) and lately been nothing but dissappointed. My boyfriend and I were craving the chips and salsa last night, though, so we decided to give it another try. I got the Birria Chimichongas (seasonal item) and have never experienced a more flavorless dish. I'm not even saying it wasn't the best birria I've ever had, I mean flat out it had no flavor. I ended up just eating my refried beans and the chips. Waste of a trip. My boyfriend's pork was also exceedingly fatty to the point he left most of it on his plate. I was shocked by this experience, as we have given them a try multiple times, but at this point it's so hit and miss we aren't about to spend our money here again. Waste of it, unfortunately.

    Love Barrio Queen. Met out of town friends here for dinner and ate on the patio. They turned the heaters on for us and it was comfortable. Delicious food, house margaritas, our server was helpful and let us take our time, we never felt rushed.
