A hole in the wall that I will be coming back to. The flavors have a reminder of Mexico and has a family feel upon arriving. The service was great and they knew the needs of one and very attentive. The platillo de birria was a nicely portioned plate and the tortillas de mano kept coming. read more

Barca Restaurant - Platillo de Birria - Tacos Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Se Hunde la Barca con solo media libra. Primera y última vez. Pedí una libra de birria para llevar un domingo después de trabajar 14 hrs y hambriento. La libra se iba compartir entre 4. El problema es cuando llego a la casa recibí media libra. Como yo sé? Yo tengo una pesa. Llamo y le digo que nada más me dieron media libra y cobraron $32 por una libra. Claro que van a decir que lo pesaron, pero si quiero, entrego y me regresan el dinero. Yo no iba manejar para atrás después de un día largo. Hice 5 tacos pequeños y uno bien mini. La birria y consomé estaba regular nada wow. Con todo el consomé que quedó hicimos quesadilla para completar. Ni modo read more

The best birria in Chicago and the nicest family. The birria egg rolls are to die for.

Tried Barca Restaurant for the first time and I was blown away. The quesabirria was packed with flavor, cheesy and rich, and the carne asada tacos were piled high with tender meat, fresh cilantro, and onion--exactly how I love them. The homemade tortillas make all the difference, and you can really taste the care that goes into everything. The whole place has that warm, family-owned feel that makes you want to keep coming back. Service is amazing, staff is extremely friendly and you can tell they care about the food and their customers. Can't wait to continue coming back and trying more of their menu in the future. read more

Great food love the people and staff there as well. Really recommend it!!! Everything is so delicious

Food was so delicious and by far the best birria I've ever had. Everything was just so indescribably good and was beyond incredible. The service was amazing and always made sure to ask if we were doing fine (we were doing more than fine with how good that birria was). The ambiance was amazing, it's nothing fancy which is always nice, it's very authentic and it is amazing from the music to the wall decor. Overall I would HIGHLY recommend and me and my family will definitely be coming back, I can't even put into words how amazing this place is, it's truly perfection and worth a little driving. read more

We tried almost everything on the menu and everything was delicious. The birria eggrolls were life changing. Family owned where it felt like you were visiting your tías house for some amazing food. The owner took the time to check on us and to ensure we liked everything. I can't wait to go back. The only disappointment was the fact it took us this long to find this gem. read more

Loved the steak tackle, steak soap, and steak quesadilla crispy. Delicious! I can't wait to go back probably once a month going forward

If your looking for delicious, authentic, GOAT quesabirria, look no further! The food is outstanding, the service is so friendly. Generous portions of delicious goat quesabirria, served alongside made to order fresh tortillas! I will definitely add Barca Restaurant to my shortlist. read more

Amazing ambiance and even better food! 100 percent authentic and delicious. Service was excellent and the owners are friendly!

Well..... Where do i start? The service? The food? Let's start with the place..... It is a small cozy place that it feels like your g-mas kitchen back in Mexico. Now, the food! By far the best birria i have had. Cooked just right. The goat is not gamey at all n the spices are added just right. Bring in the tortillas....hand made n done just right to scoop the broth. The service is beyond good. They are very accommodating and go to the max to make you feel welcomed. If you are a fan of real Mexican food give them a try. They have other dishes that are just simply great! They are NOT your normal taco/burrito joint.....and that is what sets them apart. It is a BYOB. I mean....who doesnt like a beer with their birria. read more

The Quesobirria was super delicious. The tortillas are literally handmade and fresh to order. I was impressed how attentive the staff was. Came with a couple of friends from out of town and I definitely think this place nailed a super delicious quesobirria. I will definitely come back. Found my new spot for birria! read more

Barca Restaurant - Quesobirria with rice. Super delicious - Tacos Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

THE BEST MEXICAN FOOD ON THE NORTH SIDE. Hands down. There is a family and welcoming vibe when you walk in. Literally everything is delish and fresh, but my favs are the carne en su jugo and anything birria. They also made HOME MADE tortillas that come out hot and fresh. You will not be disappointed. read more

By far the best Birria in the taste. You sit down and already greeted with hot fresh tortillas made right infront of you. The taste is out of this world. Definitely worth a try, or two! read more

Fresh and delicious food. This is the best Birria I've had. This is a family-owned place and they treat their customers as if you are too. I work around the corner and they know me by name. They're so kind- definitely a small business to support! read more

Second time we dine in and La Barca never disappoints! I've had the platillo & libra de birria, love that both dishes come with the handmade tortillas! They have different types of hot sauce and my favorite is the red sauce that is kind of chunky so delicious! I tried the cafe de olla also one of my favorites! I love their seasonal desserts! Looking forward to coming back and bringing all my family so they can taste some authentic birria y su consume! Most importantly the service is phenomenal! So attentive & helpful if you do not know what to order! read more

Wow! First time here and can't wait to go back to Barca. Outstanding, flavorful birria - better than the old stand bys on the southwest side. Phenomenal carne en su jugo - I will order this again and again. Homemade tortillas that they keep filling you up on so you can get the while they're hot. A family business vibe where they are friendly but not overbearing. Afraid to reveal this secret to others but wish the owners nothing but success. Byob. Ridiculous bang for your buck. Don't go for the decor. read more

Some of the best most authentic tasting Birria. And some great service. The food is some of the best in the city.

Love what has been done with this restaurant. Welcoming family run place with cozy counters and small tables surrounded by colorful paintings. Smoky, tender and flavorful goat birria was the star. Enjoyed the bacon and ribeye stew also. Lots of attention to details given to this delicious fresh homemade food. read more

Wonderful food and very friendly service. The owner was very attentive and made me feel right at home. You won't get better birria anywhere else. read more

Consomé is pure hot water no flavor,,,,, "birria" overpriced and tasteless. Wouldn't mind paying a good price if it was worth it as we know Burria prices are high. But this one not worth at all. First and last time. read more
