Barrio Queen

I frequent this location, but I'm not sure how much longer that will continue if changes aren't made. Started off on the wrong foot - asked the lady who seated us for a booth and she puts our menus on a normal table. We politely say again we would like a booth or half booth, please, and she moves us to another section. Taco Tuesday - BOGO, sounds great - well, until you order the tacos anyway. I ordered four carne asada tacos, and my wife ordered two Pollo deshebrado. My tacos were overcooked, dry, and underseasoned. When I asked the waiter if this is how they are normally served, he claimed it was because they switched to gluten free? I know BS when I hear it, and yeah - that was an awful excuse. I drowned them in sauce and salsa to get through them. I'd rate this carne asada lower than Filiberto's at twice the cost. That's not a compliment. My wife had a better experience, but her chicken was too salty, and drenched in sauce. If the chicken is sitting in a chefs pan waiting to be heated up each order, this makes sense. Probably the bottom of the pan. Honestly I'm shocked at how the kitchen is so inconsistent every time we come here. The recipes don't change. I shouldn't come in as a customer and be worried about the quality of food I'm about to receive.

I highly recommend this restaurant! Not only is the food amazing, but the staff is super friendly and helpful. They were able to accommodate my gluten allergy as well!
