Hubby and I went out for a much needed date night. We were able to grab open seats at the bar immediately but if we wanted, there were tables available.
Barrio Queen made it easy and stress-free for me to order something delicious and gluten free! I ended up with the Quesabirria taco and a side of charro beans, which are Celiac safe and super tasty. My husband ordered the Camaron, the Mar Y Tierra and the Quesabirria tacos. He loved all the different tacos and tried out this incredible, spicy cocktail called "Death's Door", which came with this beautiful, handmade Mexican candy skull mug (for an additional $12). I requested an orange one to represent the marigold petals used for Dia De Los Muertos.
They sell these mugs in different colors and they're fully glazed so you can drink hot and cold drinks from them. I'm in love and may have to go back for more colors. I ordered the "Mezcalita" cocktail, which was basically a pineapple juice sweetened margarita with mezcal instead of tequila. I got a double and it went perfectly with my taco and beans. We also got the JalapeƱo margarita which was really good but Death's Door was, by far, our favorite drink because we love spicy. This drink comes with a warning of how spicy it is. And it is super spicy but so worth it. It burns so GOOD.š„ I highly recommend giving Barrio Queen a try. We have only been here a couple of times but everything is made fresh to order.
We were able to enjoy cocktails, tacos, house made chips and salsa plus sides for just over $100 with tip. It was a fun, easy date night for us and we both agreed Barrio Queen needs to be our regular date night restaurant.
