Drinks were great. Service was slow. Good server, just does not appear to be enough waitstaff. The food was mediocre at best. None of the items ordered were prepared as described in the menu. The ingredients and flavors of our tacos were not the best quality and we wouldn’t get them again. Guacamole was very good. Nice high energy atmosphere.

I went to Barcocnia recently and it was a brutal experience. I arrived early and was told I would have a 90 minute limit on the table - which was totally fine, I waited until our actual reservation time and my friends arrived - we were a party of 6. When we were seated we were told only outdoor tables were available even though I had made a reservation weeks earlier. It was one of the hottest days of the year so that was really disappointing since the reservation obviously didn't say anything about being outside. Then it became very obvious that a massive storm was coming imminently, folks were still being seated outside. I've never heard of a restaurant seating folks on the patio with a reservation without any warning when booking that that could happen. Then once we finally were able to get inside and it was total chaos, our server never came after asking multiple people. They finally took our order about 1 hour after our reservation time. Then everyone's tacos came except for mine (I know they come out as they are done but everyone was fully done eating before my food arrived). Overall, it was an extremely frustrating experience and while I love the vibe at Barcocina I was super disappointed.

Server was very friendly and had no problem with him, but it was a bottomless special and in 2 hours no one got more than 2 drinks because the service was slow. It didn’t feel like it was worth the money at all

The cocktails were great, the patio was lovely, and the server's recommendations were all lovely. I got the shrimp tacos and they were quite delicious, as was the barcocina guacamole, and dulce de leche cinnamon roll for dessert. The atmosphere can be a bit loud, but on the patio it was much more tolerable. Overall I would go again.

Good food, good environment. What held them back was the bait and switch we had happen to us regarding the margarita flight deal offered on Tuesday by a girl on instagram named Ken. They promoted the big glass flight for free when you say Ken and then brought over tiny glasses.
