    Gorgeous space in Lakeview with all kinds of delcious taco inspired foods, tasty summer drinks, and an awesome outdoor space and feel throughout. Come here early for drinks/food before your night out.

    Met 4 friends here on a super cold night, we shared a bunch of dishes. Everything from the yucca tots to BOATLOAD of tacos. Everything was super great. Service was awesome. Get the green beans!!!

    This place rocks! Get the spicy margarita, mini tuna tacos, lobster guac, yuca tots, Brussel sprouts, lamb meatballs. Can't go wrong with the tacos either!! Awesome ambiance and large outdoor patio

    Spencer, the waiter, strongly recommends that you order at least twice as much in terms of food and beverage as a reasonable human can consume. Pace yourself--you can always order extra stuff later.

    Great bar and restaurant! Loved the drink menu, the bartenders make delicious drinks! Try the Autumn and Agave, Pendejo Anejo, New Fashioned & the Margarita en Fuego

    The garage-style doors that surround this casual Mexican spot roll up in nice weather, turning the entire restaurant into an open-air dining space. Read more

    Go for the jalapeño margarita if you like spicy! The guacamole with balsamic drizzle is unique and tasty!

    Really cool space.. Fish tacos were pretty good. The barcocina guac is very unique in a good way.

    House Margarita is the bomb. Summer Margarita was too sweet for me. Amazing ambience.

    Went there for brunch. The brunch package is cool in theory (bottomless drinks) but the service is pretty bad so if you're trying to get your money's worth, it's hard to do. The food was alright.

    The only reason I made this reservation is because I know how busy this restaurant gets. However when I arrived, my table was not ready. We had to wait 35 minutes, it was ridiculous.

    Barcocina’s brunch was underwhelming, and we wouldn’t recommend it to any of our beloved brunch-goers. Read more
