   Visited Barcocina to celebrate my son’s 26th birthday! A time was had. We enjoyed the Taco Tuesday event for $35. You get unlimited tacos served “churrasco” style (think Fogo de Chao) and a margarita flight. The place is crazy busy on Tuesdays! By the time we left, the restaurant was filled with people salsa dancing and having a good time! I can’t wait to go back in the summer. The restaurant is very spacious as well.

   The pork and pineapple, jerk chicken and cauliflower bang bang were the best tacos in my opinion. The all you can eat deal is pretty good, if you just order tacos. The margaritas weren't that great, but for $10 it was also a good deal. I will say there was an issue with consistency. Some tacos came out hot while others were cold and not appetizing.

   I always have a great experience here, I’ve visited multiple times. Great food, amazing drinks, the bartenders and staff are very friendly. Great place for a date or coming in for a night cap.

   Queso Fundido lacked any real flavor. Truffle Street Corn Guacamole lacked any truffle flavor, and the associated sauce had a strong Buffalo Sauce flavor that was too strong. Chicken Tinga tacos were pretty good; rather spicy. Pumpkin Cheesecake Roll - could not taste any cheese cake (was it the filling?) and the cake roll was super dense. Churro Bites were yummy, but I believe the nutella sauce was actually just chocolate sauce. Environment is nice. Server oddly asked us to order each of our courses one at a time, after we finished each one, so the meal stretched out too long.

   Went to all you can eat tacos and we got passed by so many times it wasn’t as organized as I thought or in a way to order your all you can eat tacos say there for 20 mins before I even got my first taco waitress had to go get us the tacos we wanted to try because we didn’t get tacos

   Energetic and best waitstaff. Our table was served all 12 taco samples within 1hr. Our waitress explained the taco Tuesday concept, we chose our four flights and both guacamole and salsa’s with chips and passports experience began. This place has an amazing vibe, with food and drink experience that is very reasonably priced. Will definitely come back and visit. $40 and I literally tried 11 tacos and four flights asked for my check in two hours and had no issues. Loved most of the flavors of the tacos, with the pork pineapple being my best, the perch taco being second, cauliflower taco was my third, Greek taco was ok, the hamburger taco was really good, steak taco somewhat dry, tofu had a good taste and everything else was mediocre. I feel like if they leave the sauce off some of the taco options maybe they’ll be more enjoyable. Overall? Best experience and will be back!!!

   my name is Sophia and I’d like to share that I had a wonderful time. It was my first time and I was celebrating my birthday. The manager made accommodations for me to try all the wonderful tacos toward the end of the night when I had come in for the only time that was available to celebrate. I left feeling very satisfied and will come back again but much earlier if I can get in early. A wonderful place to visit and I love the tuna tacos.

   Experience the Taco Passport on my birthday tour! The restaurant accommodated my party, the tacos were delicious, and the bachata lessons with the Spanish music going all night was the cherry on top 🥳 Thank you Barcocina

   I went to Barcocina for the first time for taco Tuesday! The staff was very accommodating, the outside patio was really warm! I love the concept of bottomless tacos with the margarita flight but my only feedback is more of the options listed on the menu. We really wanted to try the bang bang shrimp tacos but they never came out. Other than that we had a nice variety of tacos and it was good to try all the margaritas with an option to add a 4th for $5 and we loved the salsa class going on!

    We were there for the $35 bottomless tacos, flight of 3 mini margaritas, chips, guacamole and 2 salsas. $35 pp...not bad if you ask me. Tacos were ok nothing special. Margaritas were pretty good. Ambiance was laid back. Server was great. How it works...servers come around with trays of tacos every 10 - 15 min or so. Different types of tacos are served. Definitely interesting and different.
