    Pineapple pork tacos & bang bang shrimp tacos
    Jill G.

    I've been to Barcocina many times. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a cute place with an amazing patio.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The Saturday night we came, there happened to be an engagement party on the patio, and a dating event in the bar. Which left some tables open for dining. If we would have realized this before getting seated, I probably would've left. I wish the restaurant would have closed for the events or made us aware. It was very loud! We could not talk or hear each other at all[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. The food is good! We love the pineapple pork tacos & the bang bang shrimp tacos. I do wish the shrimp tacos had more of a slaw or something on them. The guacamole is really good & the chips are the perfect thickness & saltiness. I've had the elotes dip twice. Both times, not a lot of flavor. No drinks because we wanted to get out asap so we could enjoy our company & conversation. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bathroom situation is fantastic. Several private bathrooms down the hallway. Clean & spacious.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was just ok, mostly because it was so loud & busy that our server couldn't communicate with us. Next time, I'll make sure it's not booked with a party.

    Margaritas: House Fire
    Joneice B.

    We missed Cinco de Mayo this year so ventured to this place a few days later. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Super cute restaurant/bar. I could tell that this place is a real vibe on the weekends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We sat at the bar and enjoyed happy hour. Our drinks were delicious. I got the spicy Margarita and it was delicious. For appetizers we tried the HH Guacamole and the Brussels Sprouts. We enjoyed the Brussels Sprout but were not a fan of the Guacamole. I think in Mexico they would call this Gringo Guacamole. My husband compared the guacamole to massed produced stuff at Costco. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is so nice and I will be coming back to enjoy that patio during the summer.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This establishment is in the heart of West Town with plenty of parking nearby. Suggest checking their social media page because my understanding is that they have dancing on Taco Tuesday.

    This is a place that we will be returning to. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great vibes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great margaritas. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And a beautiful patio.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The high point of our visit was the brussels sprouts. I wasn't too thrilled with the guacamole, as it did not taste homemade. Other than that, I can recommend this to anyone that loves Mexican food. Our service was great. The bartender made sure to take good care of us.

    Cauliflower tacos- extremely sweet and had no other flavor!
    Radhika B.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Their patio is cute.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But other than that, the food and service were not so great! Our server kept disappearing for large intervals of time and when we had some requests on the food, she was getting annoyed and impatient. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She wasn't even busy. The restaurant was kind empty.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She kept hanging out by the bar and we had to go get her for our check and then later for paying our check as well. Ordered the truffle guacamole which was very basic. There was no flavor of truffle. Also ordered the cauliflower tacos which were extremely sweet. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also- maybe some like this- but the music was super loud.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Impossible to sit inside which is why we sat on the patio but then they raised the volume even more which made sitting out on the patio unbearable as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    I came here to try their Taco Tuesday special with a margarita flight, chips & dip, and unlimited tacos. They offered 12 different tacos that represented various countries around the world, allowing you to taste "the globe" in tacos. It's very creative, and I enjoyed all the tacos I tried. My favorites were the bang bang cauliflower and Greek chicken. The total came out to around $45/person with tip. We didn't make a reservation and were seated outside, but I would recommend making a reservation just in case. The servers brought out tacos one at a time, similar to a Brazilian steak house, so you don't choose them beforehand. It was a lot of fun and well worth the price. I would come back again! [[HIGHLIGHT]]They also have a nice outdoor patio for groups, so if you want to host a gathering, this would be a great place to try.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Valentine's Day dinner
    Jackie R.

    We made reservations on one of the busiest nights, Valentines Day evening. We were greeted and seated right away. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was dark and festive, and I was surprised they played a lot of pop music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It seemed to take longer than expected to have a waitress take our order. We glanced at the Valentines menu and quickly realized that was the best deal. We eventually ordered our meal all at once. Including some mocktails that we were excited to try. The chops and salsa came out along with the guacamole first. We seemed to wait a bit before my appetizer of choice, the elote came out. Once it did, I was pleased with it. The steak and potato as the second course was ok. The meat was seasoned well. It was just the smallest of steak portions, plenty potatoes covered with lettuce. I enjoyed my steak tacos along with the churros. Overall I thought the meal was great. I could tell the vibes from the kitchen to the bar to the waitstaff was busy. It was hard to track someone down to take a few quick photos of my date. But once we did it was epic. Also I like that they have it where you can pay for the meal by scanning a QR code.

    Chips & Guacamole
    Larry H.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Due to 2 separate events there were only a few tables open to people not attending an event.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was so loud in the restaurant due to the events that we regretted our decision to dine there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered chips and guacamole and they came out the same time as our dinner (tacos). We did not request the chips and guacamole to come out first because we didn't think we had to since the chips and guacamole was an appetizer. My pet peeve is all the food coming out at once. Food was good but the noise and food coming out at once ruined the dining experience.

    My 2nd times here Taco Tuesday. This time I brought my daughter. The unlimited tacos is a huge draw and tge party starts at 5pm. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant huge and has outside dining as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So many tacos options faves were Califlowr tacos and perch and the tuna amazing! I will be back!

    Swung by Barcocina for Sunday Brunch. The service was a delight and food was tasty. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a bit empty, which was shocking to me, because it's definitely a vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Well fellow yelpers let me start by saying it was a nice place. I went on a Tuesday for taco Tuesday special which consist of unlimited Tacos a flight of three margaritas with an option to add a fourth for five dollars. The drinks were good. My favorite was the jalapeño margarita, which was great. The main reason I went, there was to try their Tacos. They were mediocre at best although it was a great deal. All you can eat Tacos. My favorite was the cauliflower Taco and the Steak Taco also. I would not recommend The chicken Tinga taco. Although I can't complain, I was full when I left Barcocina gets 2 stars because their Tacos were OK. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you were looking for a place to vibe or chill have drinks I definitely recommend stopping in I say go on a Tuesday so you can try different tacos[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. . I think the service was great. Our server was Parker and she was very good.

    Great service and really good drinks! I got the steak and pork tacos to go (sorry no pics). Steak was really good and my fav, pork was just ok. House party marg was really good too!

    Esmeralda L.

    Came here last week with one of my girlfriends. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was surprisingly quiet.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ended up ordering from the Restaurant Week menu. It was a great deal and everything was delicious. Standouts for me were the bang bang shrimp tacos and the blood orange Paloma. Our waitress was attentive and informative.

    Suvondal T.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is spacious. There's globe seating out doors, the main restaurant floor and then a party room in the back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff were very friendly. Being restaurant week I was able to try plenty for a reasonable price. The spicy truffle corn was my favorite. The Quesabirria Tacos were good. I also had the chicken tinga tacos. I wanted more flavor from the chicken tacos but I was able to dress it up with the different sauces. I wanted to try the steak tacos but I know I'll go back.

    I went last night to Tacombi (West Loop location) and they absolutely delivered. The food was…read moreabsolutely delicious (I had the little tacos, the esquites, guaca and nachos and wine). It was exactly the kind of Mexican comfort you want even more so when you're settling in for a World Cup match. You feel like you're in Mexico. Big shout out to Sabrina. She took care of our table, and the service was friendly, smooth, and the whole place buzzing. Can't wait to go back!!

    My aunt introduced me to Tacombi yesterday, and I am so glad she did! The restaurant is really cute…read moreinside, and the food was so good. I had the Mexican street corn to start and then the lunch special with two tacos, rice, and beans. I got the carne asada and crispy fish taco. The carne asada is simple with just steak and onions, but so good! The sauce and the cabbage on the crispy fish taco is really good too. I usually don't love a corn tortilla, but these tacos were so flavorful that the corn tortilla was perfect.I also had the watermelon agua fresca, and it was refreshing and not too sweet. One of the staff members, Chris, was such a vibe. He greeted us friendly and professional as soon as we walked and came over later to check on us, and chatted with me and my aunt. Our waitress was amazing too, and several other staff members stopped by to check on us throughout our meal. Exceptional service like this can be hard to find so I really appreciated it. For me, it's a 5 out of 5 because the food and the service are equally great. I highly recommend! I forgot to take pictures but take my word for it lol.

Bar inside which is a plus. Bathrooms are always clean. Five star all around and a must check out!! Dine in or sit outside

    My first time here, and it was such a great experience. Delicious food and a really fun vibe!…read more We walked in around 12:30pm Saturday, and even though the place was pretty packed, we were seated right away! I ordered the Paloma, and my husband got the Michelada, both super refreshing and made well. For food, I ordered the El Gringo with rice and salad. I definitely wish I had swapped the salad for beans, because my husband got both rice and beans, and I ended up finishing my rice and helping with his too lol. Highly recommend this dish, just go for the beans instead of the salad! My husband also ordered three tacos: Al Pastor, Chorizo, and Carne Asada, all of which were really good. One of the fun touches is that they have QR codes at the table to leave a Google review, and if you do, you get to spin a prize wheel. Of course I had to try it, and it made the whole experience even more fun. I ended up winning a free double shot! The staff were all super friendly, the restaurant was clean, and the music gave it a fun, vibrant atmosphere. I'd definitely come back!
