The food was great! Tapas is on point. My bf and I got small plates and 2 margaritas($8 piece served in a whiskey glass) . Total cost not including tip = $80. Personal favs were the barbacoa nachos, bacon wrapped dates, barbacoa quesadilla, and the mac and cheese brisket taco is worth a try(it's 5 per taco).
All in All if you've never had tapas it's definitely a good spot for either date night or a nice dinner with friends.
Overall good experience! There is complimentary valet parking behind the building. We made reservations and sat on the patio which was heated. Good service. Tasty food - we ordered a little of everything. Loved the seared scallops and the grilled shrimp tacos. The bar.bacoa nachos were a great starter. The “as you wish” is the perfect cocktail- taste just like a spiked strawberry lemonade.
My husband and I decided to try Barbacoa for the first time as we explore new restaurants this year. It did not disappoint. I do recommend making a reservation as COVID has made seating limited. We came at 6:30 and they had a table ready for us at least 6 feet from any others. The staff were wearing masks and gloves and we felt super safe and taken care of.
The drinks were super yummy, highly recommend the Risky Business for something sweeter and seasonal, and the Stay Classy for something refreshing. The ambiance was also nice with good music and dim lighting (date night vibes).
Everything we ate was 10/10!!!! I wasn't expecting the portions to be so generous. We definitely over ordered and over ate! My favorite was the Chile rubbed bbq salmon. Not sure what was better, the grits underneath or the salmon!! The chicken Tinga taco was also delish. We had the impossible, cauliflower and Baja tacos (both 10/10) and patatas bravas and street corn.
We will be coming back :)
Delicious food, great servers, heated outside patio!
Love coming here! The food is good and the vibe is right ! Not too crowded (Covid obviously). Enjoy this place every time!
The food is great and service is usually very good. But there doesn't seem to be any social distancing for tables and the place was packed.
...another great experience at Barbacoa!
Great place. Wish the patio was a little better ventilated.
The food and service were excellent as always. The drink are great. I suggest the margaritas.
This is one of our favorite places to go.
Great experience overall! Food was great, as was the service. We sat outside, so it was cold, but the staff was extremely accommodating ensuring we sat under the heaters, etc.
As usual Barbacoa didn't disappoint. The scallops are my absolute favorite in town. Service from Matt always great.
Surprised as this wonderful little restaurant. Food and Bar is a gem
Can not recommend Bar.bacoa enough! This has become one of our favorite places and our go to for solid drinks and tapas style shareable food. Service is great too!
Amazing. Lol. Server was attentive, food was really good too.
We picked this spot as a quick rendevous with a friend who was visiting from out of town. The environment was chill and inviting. The food was delicious - we had guacamole + chips, Mexican street corn, Spanish potatoes, and Shishito peppers as appetizers and barbacoa nachos, with a couple of buffalo cauliflower tacos and impossible tacos. Cocktails were tasty too! Our server was very attentive and helpful. Our food came out quickly and tasted fresh. Can't wait to visit again!
Love this place! We come here often. You’ll absolutely LOVE the braised quesadillas. They’re our favorites.
Great atmosphere and favorite tacos in Atlanta. Especially the lamb bar.bacoa
Outdoor seating... and good value for neighborhood.
Best restaurant ever. Scott and James are awesome
Always such a good menu! Great staff to couple with such a delicious dinner
Cool spot, you can sit indoors or outside. The food was pretty good and the ambience was calming, my only thing was that the lighting. It was a little too dark for my liking, could barely see the menu and I wasn't the only one, other patrons had the same trouble. The tacos and tapas, on point.
Great place, great food wonderful service, family friendly
This is one awesome restaurant...you must try it ASAP. Just remember you do need a reservation if you plan on dining in...great patio space.
The food was delicious. The customer service was excellent. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the evening out!
Social distancing enforced and food was pretty good. I did not care for the goat cheese balls but everything else I ordered was pretty tasty.
Amazing food, great service, flavorful drinks, a small but varied menu.
It was our first time here but not our last. The staff was great the food was simply amazing and the ambience incredible. It was a very very pleasant dining experience. We eat out often but we will be back here many times!
Such a great time! Something on the menu for everyone and we loved the bacon wrapped date tapas so much we had them twice! Very delicious drink menu with nice staff made for an awesome overall date night
A really good mix of food options! Loved the authentic tacos paired with the more "America" versions: see the chicken tender taco:)
Always my favorite place, fast service and great food. No complaints ever. Always consistent and always leave full and happy
Amazing! Was a great experience, definitely recommend!
Loved it a we would visit again! The location is idea.
Overall really enjoyed the food. Queso had stale chips, which they corrected but second round of drinks was not what we ordered the first time. I would definitely go back again.
Love this place! My husband and I come here all the time! The food is great and the value!
Very good service. Outside seating was amazing as well. Food outstanding!!
Love the atmosphere and more importantly the food!
We eat here frequently because it's very consistent - food, service, ambiance etc. We love that they've gone back to more of the type of food it was back in the old Noche days. The service is great, and they've done a great job of managing operations with COVID in mind.
amazing dinner! service was slow to start, but once you start tasting the food and smokey tequilla...you cant stop ordering more. We will be back!! Compliments to the chef and cooks!!
This as always is the best restaurant in Atlanta. Best non fine dining experience in Atlanta!
We had a reservation, but when we asked to sit outside was told it was a 2 hour wait. Food was good , could not afford to try any tequila $$. Maybe could be fortunate to enjoy the patio next time?
