Here’s your on-table review for Barcocina in the style of Actadise Randall—polished, succinct, and slightly cheeky: ⸻ Barcocina – On-Table Review by Actadise Randall ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ Great food. Great drinks. Beautiful setting—both indoors and out. Prices? Solid. You’re not getting robbed, and you’ll leave satisfied. Now, here’s the play: your experience will heavily depend on the time and day you go. Midweek brunch? Chill, maybe even artsy. Friday night? A totally different crowd. Not good or bad—just different. So if “vibe” matters, check the day and time.

Service was terrible, probably the worst service I’ve ever had in Chicago. The food was edible but nothing special. Would not return. Two stars because the place is very beautiful inside, but they definitely need to do better for the price they charge.

I’ve been here quite a few times and have always enjoyed it however, this time the food and drinks missed the mark at almost every opportunity. The pitcher of smoky margarita? Tasted like a regular margarita with no hint of mezcal at all. The truffle guacamole for $18? A plate that was about 90% corn. 🤨 The jerk tacos? Tasted like plain chicken. No jerk or spice at flavor at all. Even the fried perch tacos were… mostly mayonnaise. The only redeeming part of spending $150 here was the birria tacos. This experience left me wondering if they have a new kitchen staff or head chef, because this is not the quality I remember from my several past visits and will likely stop me from returning again.

We went on a Tuesday but sadly didn’t try their unlimited taco special, I had the mahi mahi tacos and the quesabirria and both weee delicious! Our server was so nice and energetic and the overall space is just great! They also have multiple single user restrooms which is great for privacy and comfort. I def recommend reservations, it looked like it was getting pretty busy for dinner!
