I live in Lakeview, and I’ve been coming here for years. I absolutely love them, their guacamole is to die for, I love their cocktails, and I can have their tacos for dinner every night. I especially recommend the bang bang shrimp. I’m looking forward to more this summer!

Food service was a bit slow on taco Tuesday, no vegetarian options were brought out initially and we were even forgotten about twice. We finally got tacos after about 40 min. Drinks were good and the experience was worth the price.

Came here for Cinco de Mayo and the music was so loud, but they at least played good songs! Got the queso to start which had a bunch of different things inside like an egg and some chorizo. It was good but I think we would’ve liked a simpler queso instead. For drinks we got the House Fire marg which was spicy and delicious and he got the charred and fashioned which was not too spicy! To eat I got the chicken tinga tacos and they were delicious but the hard shell kept falling apart so kinda messy.

Thank you Barcocina! My friends and I had a fantastic time. Even when our reservation was over, they kindly moved us to the bar and provided us with a free pitcher of margaritas. The music was awesome and the service waa great! Had a blast celebrating my birthday and will definitely be back soon!
