    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.

    Food was VERY cold. Its a non-authentic take on tacos. Drinks were a little watered down too.

    Overall, a fun experience and a good value! However, Taco Tuesday didn't quite live up to expectations. OpenTable stated tacos are served until 10, but the restaurant stopped making them around 9. They advertise unlimited tacos with the chance to try all varieties, but we served a total of 8 tacos and only got to try 6 of the 12 available.

    It was a busy night, due to a private party in the back room, as well as Margarita Day specials. We had a nice server.
