The tapas were all flavorful and beautifully presented. It's a great place to share small plates with friends. I'm giving it 4 stars because the menu is a bit pricey for the size of the portions, but the flavors are excellent. read more

Bar.bacoa is a great spot to enjoy time with friends over yummy food. We particularly enjoyed being out in the back, outdoor patio, which had a very chill vibe. We ordered two tacos each and split the Poblano and Corn empanadas (comes with two), which was more than enough food for the two of us. I ordered the Korean beef and buffalo cauliflower; both were tasty and made me want to try more! My husband ordered two Pork Carnitas and enjoyed them. He said his margarita was "meh" (and I agreed). All the food was good, but the tres leches cake was excellent. It was so creamy and full of flavor. Would gladly order it again. read more

A shocking surprise. I ordered these tacos on Uber Eats and they arrived in perfect condition and the temperature was on par. The flavors were immaculate and the size and quantity was also really great. This location will be my new taco spot whenever I am in town and I highly recommend. read more

Such an excellent spot in the Virginia Highlands! Service spot on and everything we ate was delicious. It's a fun and lively spot and country music - my fave - was playing in the background. Note the Mac & cheese taco is on the website but not on the menu but you can get it if you ask. read more

Bar.bacoa - Mac & cheese taco and gringo taco - Spanish Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

The food here is absolutely excellent. Hands down, the cheese dip is the best I've ever had in my life--the golden crisp layer on top is next-level and seriously to die for. We also tried the barbacoa enchiladas which were rich, flavorful, and perfectly done. Our server was super kind and made the experience even better. Overall, just a great spot with amazing food and service. Would 100% go back. Update: I did go back--and brought my family this time. They all loved it just as much. This place is a winner! read more

I love Bar.bacoa! I'm sure they know me well as I order from here very often on Uber Eats! Some of my favorites are all of the tacos! Just amazing! The spanish potatoes, beef quesadillas, & the blackened shrimp tostada. The steak salad is so flavorful & tasty! Then my gawd, the dessert! The Chocolate Oblivion Truffle Tart is just to die for! Honestly you can't go wrong with anything here. They know what the heck they're doing in the kitchen! read more

Bar.bacoa - Chips & Queso - Spanish Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

My brother and our group of friends came here for lunch today to escape the heat from walking around the Virginia Highlands arts festival. It was a first visit for all of us. The entrance has a nice bar area plus there is indoor and outdoor dining towards the back of the restaurant. We chose a table inside for a break from the heat. Everyone was super friendly and efficient. The menu had a great selection of food to please everyone and featured tapas for sharing as well as traditional main dishes. In addition they had four brunch specials served from noon until 4pm. Our group ordered a variety of items including the blackened shrimp tostada, the pork carnitas, the Peruvian chicken tacos in both corn tortillas and in lettuce wraps. We also ordered the mimosas and vinho verde white wine from Portugal. For dessert we ordered the tres leches cake and the churros. We finished with coffee. Food and service were outstanding! My one quibble was the lack of any vegan coffee creamer. They didn't have any oat milk or almond milk just traditional creamer or milk. I love this place and it's convenient to my office so I'm excited to come back and dine here again after work! read more

Holy goatcheese balls, I love this place. Finally got to check it out in person after ordering delivery from here 936282 times. I had no idea it was right next to Fontaines but whatever. Anyway, you wanna know about the food right? In a word, gastrolicious. Yes, I made that word up, but trust me, it's delish. The only thing that's a big miss for me is the buffalo cauliflower, serves me right for straying from the meat side. Oh and the dessert's are legit too. The bread and butter pudding and tres leches are worth the guilt. Bon Appetit read more

Everything was so good. The inside was so cute and the staff was so sweet. I really enjoyed the tacos and they had a great variety. The appetizers were also really good. Will definitely be back to try more! read more

Great food. Ordered the guac and chips, crispy brussel sprouts and mexican street corn to start. All delicious. Then ordered a bunch of tacos to share. All great. Only negative was the service. Water glasses left unfilled and waited a long time for the check. But overall a great experience. read more

The outdoor seating has a lovely vibe, though the indoor space feels more like a casual cafeteria. The food was a bit inconsistent, but the ceviche and beef potato empanadas are definitely worth trying. read more

I have been wanting to try Bar.bacoa for a while now. Unfortunately, I did not have a great first impression. Our server was kind of rude and pretty much ignored us most of the meal. After he delivered our entrees, he didn't even say one word to us again (even when delivering the bill). The food itself was really good, and I definitely will try it again at some point. Loved the Mexican corn!! The biggest issue I had during the night was that we ordered a non-alcoholic (virgin) margarita, and she was served a strong margarita full of tequila. Luckily, she was just taking a break from drinking and does not have an issue with alcohol. But as sobriety becomes a larger part of our society, restaurants need to treat non alcoholic requests the same way as food allergies. Some people can have major issues with alcohol, and if they took a sip of that margarita they could fall to a rabbit hole. Our server never apologized and did not even address the issue. He just seemed confused. I hope Bar.bacoa can take requests like this more seriously in the future. Because I know some people who are sober and could have major issues if they were given that margarita. read more

Stopped in here for a quick dinner during the week, and this place is a vibe! The weather was great, so the patio and even inside was pretty packed so you can tell it's a popular spot. We still got seated right away and got super quick and attentive service. Their taco menu is so good! I tried the Korean bulgogi taco and the buffalo cauliflower taco. I got the buffalo cauliflower on lettuce wrap and I wish I had gotten both on the lettuce wrap. It was by far my favorite and gave it such a fresh element! My fiancé got the paella and it wasn't very memorable, just okay. Will probably try more of a taco variety and more tapas next time. Great menu and ambience! read more

While in Atlanta, two of my friends and I went to Bar.bacoa for a nice dinner since we hadn't seen each other in months. The restaurant is pretty small, so make sure you do reservations if possible. The ambiance is pretty cozy though. The menu had many options. I tried the octopus, carne asada, and calamari. All of the dishes were great. They all received a 5/5. The drinks were strong too, and I only needed one to liven up. All in all, I would recommend Bar.bacoa. The food was great. read more

Fastest service I've ever had in 22 years of life. I got three different tacos and they were all 10/10. Margaritas were also 10/10. I wish I could eat here everyday! read more

The Korean taco was perfectly Korean, and the empanadas were delicious. The queso was awesome, too. We walked in about 12 minutes before closing time, and they took care of us quickly and with great hospitality - we never felt rushed or like a bother. read more

A friend and I visited Bar.bacoa for a quick dinner before a show at the Fox. We had a reservation for 5, but due to traffic and parking, we walked in right at 5:15. Aware of their 15 minute hold policy, I even referenced it to the hostess. Thankfully, I didn't let her "Next time, call" remark irritate me. Instead I repeated, "It's 5:15 on the dot." There are lots of menu options--for both food and drink. I opted for the trailer park and brisket mac n cheese tacos--both were amazing! For the drink, I don't recall the name, but it was awesome. I had two. I ended the meal with the churros, which were also delicious. Everything was top notch. I would definitely return! read more

Visited on a Sunday for cinco de mayo! They were one of few restaurants that allowed reservations. We arrived about 10-15 minutes early and parked in the lot behind the building which offers complimentary valet. We were still able to be seated and given menus. It was our first time visiting but I was happy that they had enough pescatarian and vegetarian options for me choose from. We were brought waters and then ordered the guac as an appetizer and 2 margaritas. He had the herradura palmoa margarita special and I had the teramana mango margarita. I ordered a baja and buffalo cauliflower taco while he ordered the peruvian chicken, salmon, and baja taco. We continued to talk while we waited. Drinks came then the app and our tacos. 1. My teramana margarita was better than his paloma 2. Buffalo cauliflower was better than the baja, but both were good 3. Peruvian chicken, salmon, baja 4. Those house made chips were delish and I enjoyed the guac We overall enjoyed ourselves and it was a nice first stop on our cinco journey (lol). read more

Visited Bar.bacoa in the Virginia Highland area and had a great experience. The food was fresh, well seasoned, and thoughtfully prepared, with bold flavors that felt balanced and intentional. Portions were satisfying without being overwhelming. Service was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, which made the visit feel relaxed and easy. read more

First time here...LOUD LOUD LOUD...food was good , service was a little slow but probably because the server had a lot of tables not his fault. Probably won't need to come back. I guess if you want to sit outside in 90 degree humid weather it may be better, but not our thing. read more

Quite the yummy experience! I love tapas for the variety you can get in one restaurant, as well as the fun with friends. I would recommend getting 6-8 tapas if you have a group of 4 to make it a powerful experience. Everything was really good, it would be hard to talk about them all! Some of the highlights were the octopus (tender, not chewy!) and Bar.bacoa quesadilla (surprisingly very filled with meat). Service was relatively quick and I appreciated that everything came in a timely manner! I would definitely come here again! read more

In one word - yummy! Never had a bad meal here. The patio is lovely in summer, but the inside isn't bad either if you don't mind seating super close to other tables and possibly overhear their conversations. They have a full bar with many margarita specials. The parking is valet, or you can park on the street if you are lucky to get a spot. Some of the things I've tried on my several visits here: chips and salsa, various tacos, octopus, ceviche, paella. The menu is very varied and there is definitely something for everyone from tapas to tacos. The service can be somewhat spotty. Prompt and attentive one day, takes-half-an-hour-to-get-a-couple-of-tacos the other. Overall: great patio and food, full bar, valet or street parking. Definitely worth checking it out. read more

Husband and I came for date night on a Friday evening. I made reservations the day before and we had a lovely outdoor patio table next to the fresh pepper plants. We shared the bacon wrapped dates (so tasty, don't let the picture fool you), the goat cheese fritters which I liked, the barbacoa nachos plate, and the seafood paella. We parked in the complimentary parking in the back accessible from N Highland Avenue. Our waiter was courteous and made good recommendations. Come here for a lively evening with dates, family, or friends! read more

Spent our Anniversary having dinner and drinks before a show at the Fox Theater. We sat at the bar and informed our bartender, Robert, our time constraint. He did not disappoint! He made sure we were good on our drinks and the tapas items came out quickly. Highly recommend the Goat Cheese Fritters, Calamari and for the street tacos: Korean BBQ & Trailer Park. The margaritas topped off the experience. We can't wait to go back. read more

I love a good tapas place. Bar.bacoa did not disappoint. My sister got the avocado taco , salmon taco and shrimp taco she said they all were good but liked the salmon one the most because it had a mango salsa. I ordered the posole which was good and tasted authentic. I also got the Korean beef taco and shrimp tostadas which were both really good. There was not a long wait and the service was great ! Be careful where you park because I did get a $75 citation read more

Let's start with 3 stars because I was not impressed with this restaurant. I specifically asked our server how the octopus was and her answer was that it was one of the best she's ever had. I love octopus and I had some really amazing ones.. This one was sad...the dish it's mainly potatoes and peppers....you barely find the octopus in there. The tacos are pretty good, we tried a few just to get an idea. Will go back because of its location and to try more food. read more

Enjoyed a nice meal here on the cool air conditioned inside recently (the patio is beautiful otherwise and I'd highly recommend). Lots of interesting items on the menu and it is hard to choose. Started with some chips and dip and guac. We split the cheesy cauliflower, the octopus with chimichurri potato's, and crispy Brussel sprouts with bacon. The latter was probably my favorite. We aren't that hungry so this was plenty of food for me. Washed it all down with a cocktail special Black Forest and a special cocktail of the evening that was a little too syrup-e for me. Overall food was pretty good but I might not have ordered that well for my personal tastes. Cauliflower was very oile and super cheesy, although kind of good in a sickening way if that makes any sense ? It's good but you might not want to eat too much. The octopus was pretty good, a bit fishy, and more tomato-e than I was expecting. Chips are overly fried imo but good and again, others might go for them more. Guac/salsa were solid. Service was good and food came very quickly. I'd love to come back here to try more of the different options read more
