Gorgeous establishment and amazing views. Staff was helpful and super friendly. However, I simply wasnt impressed with the food. Tried the Asado Rojo de Puerco and it fell short. Nachos and salsa also seemed simply "ok". My son got the salmon over rice and thought that was decent. There's so many different options on the menu, Id go back and try something else. The Smash House drink was phenomenal tho!

The ambiance and location are really nice. Most of the tacos are pretty average, but the duck birria (available only on the dinner menu) is outstanding.

We celebrated a private engagement party at Barcocina and it was such a wonderful experience! The atmosphere was intimate yet lively, and the personalized touch of having the couple’s slideshow playing on the bar screens made the night feel extra special. The food was fantastic. I especially loved the queso and the fresh guacamole. The cauliflower taco had a nice “sweet” flair to it, too! We sampled every flavor of margarita (highly recommend doing the same if you go!), and while all were tasty, the smoky margarita was my personal favorite, followed closely by the spicy margarita. For dessert, we indulged in their churros, which were absolutely divine. On top of all that, the view from their patio is stunning and really adds to the overall vibe. Whether you’re stopping by for a night out or looking for the perfect venue for a private celebration, I highly recommend Barcocina enough.

This was such a fun and vibey place, we went on a Saturday evening and half of the place turned into a little day club. If you want to enjoy good food and good ambiance, this is the perfect weekend spot. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly as well. The views from the outside are also amazing with the pier right next to it. They had a couple vegetarian options: cauliflower and mushroom tacos. They were really good, the cauliflower was a little sweeter than I expected but still awesome! Would highly recommend this as a date spot or a place to have a great afternoon dancing away to music while sipping on great cocktails.

Beautiful place for socializing and dinning. Good for big groups. Meal size is a bit smaller compared to places around. So dinner plates are not shareable which is okay just be aware. Food tasted great and service was awesome. Thanks to our server Andrea (it was it Jasmine?) who was super awesome.
