Barrio Queen is the best restaurant in Glendale for authentic Mexican food and craft cocktails. We are conveniently located near Bell Rd and the 101 in Arrowhead Town Center. Our food pays homage to history and culture by serving fresh, authentic Mexican cuisine using traditional recipes from barrios throughout Mexico. Our extensive tequila and mezcal list set the stage for our array of fun, flavorful drinks. Each has a personality all its own! Inside our locations, the Día de los Muertos decor creates an energetic and social atmosphere that allows you to detach and enjoy your unique, memorable dining experience.

This was my first and last visit. I will say the staff are amazing people, super friendly. I found the resturant to be very loud and it was difficult to hear my sister from across the table. There are no soft surfaces to absorb sound so it bounces off everywhere making it to loud.
Now the food:
The chips were amazing!! Best chips I have found anywhere. I ordered a chicken chimichanga, the chicken was very moist but had No flavor. It tasted like boiled chicken. The rice tasted like boxed rice and the refried beans tasted more like lime. All around disappointing. The desserts were good but not amazing and the drink I ordered from the bar may as well been all fruit juice. So for a tab, including tip, of over $80 for two ppl it was not worth the money spent.

Food came out and the cheese enchilada was like they placed a hunk of cheese in tortilla and did not melt the cheese. I ate more than half and said to our waiter look at the cheese., waiter was like oh it’s not melted. It should be hot and cheese ooozing out of tortilla. I was like is this pre made and maybe chef did to melt in microwave, server was like no all is made fresh. Server is like should I do something. You tell me. Shirel my friend with me is vegan. She had a salad and you can tell the lettuce comes bagged from supplier.
We will stick with Garcia’s Mexican food next time or ajo als. Was not impressed.

Stopped in for a drink and some appetizers. We sat at the bar and Daniel, the bartender, greeted us and served us in a timely manner. We had tacos for taco Tuesday and the house margaritas were delicious! Amy, one of the managers on duty, also greeted us and continued to check in on us as she passed by. Great staff, great service and the food is delicious! I recommend the guacamole!!! I have a rule when it comes to restaurants, no matter how good the food is, if the service is terrible I will not return. The service was great so we will definitely be making another pit stop for sure!!

Courtney D. Took amazing care of us!! We were greeted immediately along with chips & salsa. Courtney was so attentive and everything felt like it came out perfect and quick, drinks & food. We came in for happy hour since the prices are great. Restaurant was clean and everyone was smiling. Ask for Courtney if you want great service, you won’t regret it.

We went on Taco Tuesday during late afternoon. Outdoor patio seating was nice and quiet. Our server, Courtney was great in giving us suggestions for the best tacos to order. Our meal was served quickly and was very tasty! We had the Quesabirrias, Polo Asado and Chorizo tacos! Delish! Hope to try another Taco Tuesday soon!!

Thought I’d give this place a try despite its rating. It was one of my most expensive meals and one of the most disgusting meals in my life. I’ve legitimately never tasted food so bad in my life. I don’t usually write reviews but I thought I should do a good service and warn people if you come here you are choosing to waste your money go somewhere else. The waiter was really nice she had bangs with short hair 🙂
