   The food was amazing! We did get the party brunch crowd unknowingly and it was very loud and a little chaotic. Will definitely be going back, maybe for weekday brunch though.

   Our waiter David was so friendly and enthusiastic, he made it a great night. The food was great, nice drinks. We sat outside around the beautiful fires for awhile after dinner enjoying drinks. Nice to be able to make a reservation through Open Table.

   Our waiter forgot to come back to take our order. When finally we were able to order & we got our food we had asked for salsa. The salsa never came and we didn’t see the waiter for a long time again. The chicken tacos I ordered were dry and the salsa would have helped a lot. I’ve been here before and never had this service and meritocracy food the other times.

   It was a bit loud with the DJ for brunch, at times we couldn’t here each other. Portions were a bit small for the price but the food was delicious!

   Went as a group of 9 for brunch. Didn’t get asked to place our food orders until we had been there for ~45 minutes already. 4 people ordered the breakfast skillet from the brunch menu, which they didn’t know until it came out, that it doesn’t come with eggs. We then ordered 5 eggs on the side for these 4 people. They waited, but the fried eggs somehow didn’t come out for another 25 minutes. Got the bill and only 4 people had ordered 1 drink each. The rest of the group didn’t drink. The waiter had charged us for the bottomless brunch accidentally. Even though none of us drank or went to the brunch bar. He fixed it, of course, but it was wild to assume he did that. Nothing was the waiter’s fault, we were just one of the first five tables to arrive that day and it was very clear they were understaffed and he was the singular waiter.

   We had a great time at Barcocina. The truffle guacamole was so good as was the ceviche. We were disappointed with the tots, they were bland. The ramen was really good, as well as all of the tacos. And the margarita sampler was great! We will be back.

    Barcocina is a ton of fun and has great energy and delicious food. I understand the need for a time limit on seatings, but would appreciate allowing parties to dine for as long as they choose, instead of 90 minutes.

    Over priced food with quality that doesn’t meet its prices. Had better food that was cheaper. Avoid the fish taco or the ramen Birria. Both dissappointing. Truffle chips were also a disappointment. They used a dash of truff hot sauce on the rim of the plate and named the dish truffle chips. Service charge included for dine in. Service was ok. Ambience was fun… dim… and loud music. The redeeming factor of this restaurant are the drinks… just avoid the classic margarita… unless you tasting the smell of fabuloso. Go for the margarita flight!

    We had a reservation at 8pm and didn’t get seated until 8:40. It felt very chaotic and like they were greedy with giving out a ton of reservations that they didn’t have while there were also simultaneously two private parties and restaurant week happening all at once. The whole thing felt disorganized and their solution was to just go get drinks at the bar. Everything was decent, but honestly not worth the hassle

    Had to yell over the music to have a conversation— does anyone actually enjoy when it’s that loud at brunch? Friday or Saturday night I can understand, but Saturday at 1:00pm? My 5yo son kept covering his ears and I had a headache by the time I left. Service staff was good, but could tell they were very overwhelmed. One of our dishes came after everyone had already finished. Drinks were good, but also slow— we probably would have ordered 2-3 more rounds if they had come out faster. The omelet was pretty tasteless— desperately needed salt. Have been there during the week and food was great but won’t be back after this experience.

    We enjoyed our evening very very much, we tried the octopus, the salmon, the firecracker shrimps, the ceviche and cheeseburger tacos and they all were delicious! We reordered some of the dishes. We also had sangrias which were sweeter than what I typically like but they were still good. Only thing I wanna note is if you ever wanna book the igloo you gotta call and go through a third party for them to reserve it for you.

    Most recently visited Barcocina on a Tuesday and had a fun time. The specials were okay and the drawings for prizes were fun. Lychee cocktail was a highlight as well as the Quesabirria shared plate. Service was SLOW felt as if there was maybe only one server (who also acted as DJ and emcee); staff was polite. We will be back.

    Terrible service, by the end of the dinner we had to stack our plates since nobody cleared the table for the two hours that we were there. There was a 20 minute wait every time it was time to order another drink and my old fashioned was served different every time I ordered. The first was an average old fashioned, the second was the same average drink but only filled 40% of a rocks glass, the third was very well made and actually included a cherry. The food was pretty good but the service to get the food was so bad that we tried to order everything we could when our server stopped by. We decided not to even order entrees since everything had been so difficult in the meantime. I’ll skip this place for the foreseeable future.

    I usually don’t write reviews, but this restaurant is worth it. We went on taco Tuesday. They have a package for unlimited tacos, and 1 margarita, and a raffle card for $40. If you get picked, you go up, spin the wheel, and your table wins something. Our waitress Tabitha was phenomenallllll. There are heated igloos with lights outside on the patio. We didn’t sit out there but they look very cozy. Overall this is a restaurant that I would definitely come back to more times. The tacos were all different flavors. A food runner keeps bringing a bunch of tacos out until you say stop. Fun fun fun.

    Arrived at 915 for taco Tuesday. Seated right away was giving water right away.. our server was responsible for the mic show and the tables we sat 24 mins before server came to take order to be told taco Tuesday was over at 930. It was poor judgement on the host to seat us knowing we were there for that reason. In my opinion we could have been sat in a section where we could have at least got served in a timely manner. This was me and my parties first visit here and I want to say it was a terrible experience for us. We decided to eat somewhere else after the server gave us limited options to chose from off the menu.
