I was here for a rehearsal dinner the night before my friend's wedding. It was a lovely experience. We had an indoor/outdoor situation and the heaters helped keep it from being too chilly. The tacos were really well liked but I think the cauliflower tacos were the most loved. The private bar/tender was speedy and gave hefty pours I think. read more

Fantastic experience at Barcocina. Service was amazing. Server was attentive, provided suggestions and made sure everything was great throughout the meal. We started with the Salsa Roja and it was really good. The chips were also very fresh and crunchy. We had the Shrimp and Crab Omelette and the Breakfast Burrito. Both were also very tasty. Both well cooked and good portions. Also had a strawberry mojito which was well made and delicious. Stop into Barcocina. It's a great experience. read more

Great time at the Barcocina. Came on a Saturday during NBA Play-Off and the place was jumping. Great location, wait staff is awesome and the food was really good. Nice summertime spot off the water. Highly recommend. read more

The views and the vibes are great. The food was mid. It alternated between being underseasoned to using way too much of one spice. The apps were the redeeming quality and I definitely loved the guac. They have an extensive list of alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages including fresh juice. This was my first time here so I definitely want to give it another try and order some of their other items before settling on a final decision. The service was good read more

I can't say I'm really impressed with this place. They definitely put their own spin on dishes to make them unique, but I don't think I've totally hit the nail on the head yet. I've been here twice and have been underwhelmed both times. The guac is okay. The queso fundido is okay. The elote is also just okay. The tacos are interesting and different... I don't know that I would go out of my way to come here again. read more

Too expensive. I had the breakfast burrito with chorizo in it and it was eh, not great, lacked flavor and it was cold on the inside which was surprising because we were 2 of the first customers there so we thought it'd super hot and fresh. We did like the chips and guac a lot, super good. Portions are a nice size, drinks are expensive and they weren't mind blowing. We liked being able to sit outside, it was a nice scenery and the inside had a lot of seats too. read more

Love coming here when I have friends visiting in town. I came here recently for appetizers and everything I ordered was so good! The food was fresh, hot, and flavorful.

We came to Barcocina after taking a stroll through Fells Point. We were able to be seated right away and were able to get a table outside. We weren't sure what to order but our server recommended queso fundido and shrimp tacos. Both were great and full of flavor. We also tried their infused tequila which was a pretty big portion. Would recommended if in the area looking for a relaxing spot. read more

We chose to indulge in the 'bottomless mimosas' thinking they would come in a mimosa glass, but they were presented on ice.. in a pint glass. The server kept handing them to me before I was done to 'make sure I got my monies worth'. Not very classy. The elote dip had no seasoning, my friend asked for some tajin on the side and that made it better. My hashbrown breakfast tacos sounded cool, but the bacon didn't look like it even made it to the stovetop. My friends french toast was a block of bread and dry. Next time we'll try somewhere else. read more

I absolutely love this place--wow, everything from the location, service, freshness of the food, and flavors was just great! We stopped at Barcocina while visiting Baltimore and looking for a brunch spot at the harbor, and we were so happy to find this gem. We started with the Brussels sprouts and guacamole--delicious. And the drinks... wow. We ordered the paloma and their signature pineapple smash, and honestly, 100/10. They make their own pineapple-infused tequila, and it really shows--it was amazing. For tacos, we had the rockfish tacos and the salsa verde tacos. The rockfish tacos were incredible--perfect heat, not overpowering, and excellent flavor. The salsa verde tacos were good as well, but as Latin food lovers, we felt the salsa verde flavor didn't really come through. Still tasty and very tender, though two of the three tacos had more fat than meat, which slightly affected the texture for me. Other than that, the food was great, the atmosphere is cute and elegant, and overall it was a wonderful experience. Definitely recommend! read more

I wanted to give this a 4 star rating so badly but I just can't. I had a hibiscus margarita with a tajin rim and it start off the evening right! Soooo good! My server GG (gee gee?) was amazing. Great recommendations. Has steak tacos and the firecracker shrimp tacos. Both were good. Steak was very well done with the chimmicurri but the fire cracker shrimp out shined the steak. With lime I loved the steak, but the perfect kick of the shrimp was inspiring with the margarita pairing. We sat in the water on a beautiful night. Parking could be an issue, as with anything in the area so plan ahead. Would recommend. read more

I fell in love with this Mexican spot. We decided to eat outside and it was one of the best experiences I've ever had. It's right across from the Sagamore Pendry in Fells Point. The shrimp tacos were the best thing on menu. I also tried the Oaxaca Guacamole and I wasn't crazy about it. The traditional guacamole tasted way better. I would definitely come back. read more

Booked a resy on open table for Mother's Day brunch. We got a beautiful outdoor table by the water. The bottomless mimosas were watered down severely but our server Kelsey made sure we were taken care of regardless. All the food ordered was delicious and even with the holiday, food arrived promptly and still to temperature (main comment was all items could have been bettered seasoned). I've visited before and will be back again! read more

Still a 5! Recently visited for a large group lunch. While here I had the regular pico and 2 types of guac. The regular and the oaxcaca. Both were good but, the oaxcaca and packed a flavor punch. It complimented the pico with the chips. For my main, I ordered the seared Ahi tacos. Nicely prepared. Cooked but, still had that fresh pink color. Nicely seasoned and awesome portion sized for pricing. I did add a little guac and pico taco for added flavor. To wash it down, I sipped a peach Palmer. Think Baltimore half and half with added peach flavor and Vodka. A refreshingly boozy good time. Our server Diana was a pro with our table of 10. I'd recommend this spot for big groups. Just be forewarned they don't multiple cards on a large tab. Would definitely come back again and again. read more

I love Barcocina. I've lived in Baltimore for 4 years and it's still one of my favorite places to go. Their brunch is great, their tacos are yummy and they have so much variety in terms of meat/veg and flavor profile. The first taco I ever tried was the Bang Bang cauliflower taco and I'm pretty sure I ordered it every single time I went there for a year. I also love steak taco, and at one point there was a taco take had Korean inspired flavors that was super yummy but it's no longer on the menu. For drinks I love the Julio smash and the red sangria. I also love that they always have bottomless mimosas. There's always ample seating inside and outside. However, if you're sitting on the outside that's closest to the harbor, you're kind of in the outskirts and I'm not gonna lie the two times I've sat on that far side it almost felt like our server completely forgot about us but you're by the water, it's nice and sunny, there's a nice breeze. It's also great for people watching or if you just want a little bit more privacy. The service is usually great, they are frequently training staff tho. I'm not sure if it's just a summer thing and maybe they have younger college aged adults who just need a summer gig, but once the weather gets nice there's a higher chance of you getting a server whose simultaneously training someone or you have a trainee as your waiter and then someone comes every so often asking how they're doing. Not a big deal but it can get a little annoying. Either way the food is great, the drinks are great, the location is perfect for the summer time and they have friendly staff. I will always be a regular there. read more

Can never go wrong with the chips and guac - def good for some yapping. The peach palmer was so good! I highly recommend for a nice refreshing cocktail. I got the rockfish (phone did not eat lol) and it had a kick to it but super good. My friend liked the green goddess salad as well read more

Barcocina left me with mixed feelings. I came here for a night out and dinner after seeing strong reviews online and hearing several recommendations. Service: We were seated quickly, which was a great start. Unfortunately, after that it felt like we were mostly forgotten. Once our server came back, everything seemed rushed as if they were trying to catch up. Taste: The food itself was underwhelming. The salsa tasted like it came straight from a jar, and the tacos we ordered were very Americanized with little authenticity or standout flavor. Ambiance: This is where the restaurant really shines. The location right on the harbor is beautiful and the overall vibe is relaxed, making it a great spot to sit outside and enjoy the waterfront. Overall, the setting is excellent, but the food and service didn't live up to the hype. read more

Excellent. The service was great. The ambiance sitting outside in sight of the Pride of Baltimore ship was great. My son really enjoyed his steak tacos and I loved the cauliflower tacos. The guacamole and chips were excellent. I think it was the Barcocina guac. read more

Barcocina - Cauliflower Tacos - Bars Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I went here twice in the same week and different experiences... the food is hit or miss. The tacos are lackluster, if you know what a good taco tastes like, these taste like they're missing something. The jalapeño cornbread and octopus dish were both good and creative. The corn dip is just ok, not a standout, and same with the guac. The service is also just ok, my first waitress here was nice the other was very disinterested/not wanting to be as helpful. It is by the water so it's a great vibe/atmosphere-- a homeless guy did come up to our table and he went in the restaurant to ask us to buy something for him so it is a pretty open space. read more

It's been years since I last visited Barcocina, but I'm glad the deliciousness of the food has stayed consistent over the years! I ordered the brunch enchiladas, which had spicy chicken, fried egg, cotija cheese, pico de gallo, lettuce, and our waitress brought a spicy sauce to complement the dish. I also ordered the blackberry mule for my drink, and I only have good things to say! I really enjoyed this meal and will definitely order it again! read more

Our first time here! We enjoyed getting guacamole and chips and guacamole and salsa as our appetizers. I wasn't the biggest fan of the red salsa as it was a little different than what I'm used to, but the guacamole was outstanding. The chips were cut into smaller pieces which I liked! Our server recommended the tacos and felt that the breaded cauliflower, and flank steak were two of their best sellers. We ordered both in addition to the shrimp tacos. The sauces for all of the tacos were to die for, and all three of them were so flavorful. My dad ordered the tuna appetizer which was freshly sliced Ahi tuna with jalapeños and chips, he loved it. There are plenty of options for seating, indoors, on the patio and outdoors. The view is amazing and the service was fast. read more

A friend recommended this restaurant so I decided to give it a try. The views and the ambience of the restaurant were great. I sat at the bar and ordered since it was just me. There was big party leaving so maybe that is why the bartender wasn't as friendly. I asked her a few questions about the menu because it was my first time there but she really didn't seem interested in helping me. I did order one drink, the corn dip and duck tacos. I didn't order more drinks because she never came back to check on me. A different bartender brought me my check to pay. The experience wasn't the best and the food was okay. The corn dip was my favorite. The tacos had too much cheese for me. I won't probably be back but I can say I went. read more

I came here for lunch with some friends and we sat outside by the water. They are dog-friendly and did provide a water bowl. The view is really nice. I had the Tuna Tartare ($15) and it was great. I do wish they provided more chips though. The Tequila Old Fashioned ($15) was also pretty good. They used a chile liqueor so it had a slight kick. They also use Luxardo Cherries, which is always a plus!! For happy hour, they have an $8 shot of their tequila for the week. Our server, Jackson, was great. She was really kind and patient while we ordered. Also, 20% gratuity was automatically added to our check (I'm guessing because it was happy hour). read more

For starters this is a versatile restaurant providing lots of indoor and outdoor seating. The service was really good and almost makes you wonder if it's because of the automated gratuity. Started the day with the Elotes dip which balanced well with the savory and sweetness. It was very much a dip which was good. I wasn't the biggest fan of the tortilla chips for the dip but I get wanting a hearty chip to scoop the Elotes. The birria duck was very good and something different you don't see often in this style cuisine. I absolutely loved the pork carnitas tacos with the pineapple salsa. I could have that solely and be perfectly fine with my order. The last meal item was the cheesesteak empanadas which needed the cheese sauce to complete the achieved flavor pairing. This was my least favorite item; however, it was cooked perfectly and mildly seasoned. The cheese sauce was very powerful in this dish. The drinks were refreshing and flavorful. If you like Mezcal I do recommend trying the Smokey Margaritas. The tequila selection was rather impressive having a mixture of 100 pure agave selections. I upgraded the base tequila with Siete Leguas in both cocktails which landed well for my palate. The ambiance was very modern with an earthy feel. The sunlight works well for photos without the need for filters. Overall, I do see the automated gratuity as potentially discouraging to those wanting a full experience on a budget here. The pricing was more toward the pricey side which was ok for me considering the quality was there. 4.5 of 5 well done read more

We had the absolute best experience hosting our wedding welcome event at barcocina. Jackie handled all of our pre-event communication, and she was wonderful! She always responded in a timely manner, and was so helpful with helping us formulate a menu, figure out how to work our tab, etc. On the day of, the staff was also incredible. We had about half of the bar reserved, and 30ish people at our event. No one ever had to wait for a drink. Food was brought out and refilled incredibly quickly. From an event perspective, I appreciated that they told me where we were at with our tabs periodically and just generally checked in with me to see if I thought the event needed anything . When we had difficulty meeting our event min - staff found some creative ways to help us get there, and let us stay in the reserved area for an extra hour. And, they also helped us with food and drink recs. Food and drink - delicious!!! One of our guests couldn't stop raving about the ahi tacos -- so much so that they may be replacing his wife. I was obsessed with the churros, cornbread, and the shrimp tacos. The only mild miss was the calamari. All of the drinks were good, and they had an awesome selection of tequila. My best friend had lived in Mexico for a time, and said they had her favorite brand, which is incredibly rare to find in America! If you need a spot for a casual event, would highly recommend!!! read more

I haven't been back to Barcocina for food in a few years bc of previous experiences, but I decided to give it a try today. We came during the happy hour (3-6) and had the white sangria (very sweet) and house margaritas with a few shots. The menu has a lot of variety so we chose a few items to share... Duck Birria Tacos - 4/5 flavorful meat + the dipping sauce seals the deal Firecracker shrimp - 4/5 this is not mimicking "bang bang" shrimp in any way, but it's tasty (more sweet, than spicy). I personally couldn't eat all 3. Queso Fundido - 5/5 I was pleasantly surprised by the understated kick of spice when you dive in. It has a nice consistency. Calamari- 3/5 I probably wouldn't order this again due to lack of crisp, but the tomato jam was an interesting pairing (I'd prefer it drained). Cheeseburger tacos - 2/5 a little bland..I wasn't a fan of this dish. The queso and some Cholula on top gave it an added taste. Overall, I'll be going back. Griffin gave us excellent service and the menu has some flavorful options. read more

Mexican-inspired cuisine at Fell's Point [Baltimore MD] We browsed through the menu outside before heading in. They had just opened at 11:00a when we walked in, first customers. Surprised they were even open on MLK Day. The menu was printed on a 2-sided paper and there were a couple of items we wanted to try. We ordered the Breakfast Burrito and their Shrimp & Crab Omelette. Menu said that their menu items were designed to be experienced best by sharing. Our food came at a decent time. The presentation was lovely and we couldn't wait to dig in. Mmm mmm... we both were enjoying, savoring the deliciousness of the food... first the omelette then the breakfast burrito. The fruit that came with the omelette was fresh... loved the pineapple while hubby ate the berries. The restaurant had plenty of table seating both inside and a covered area outdoors overlooking the waterfront. The bar area had a flatscreen. Thank you to our server, Maria, who was awesome and friendly. Note: A 20% gratuity is automatically added to all checks. Food prices were really cheap (compared to California). Overall great experience. Recommended! Review #3666 read more

Two stars for the drinks, great service and the view. But the food... no. The freshness and quality was off. The Brussels tasted like they might have been frozen and just weren't seasoned properly. We tried both of the guacs. The more traditional guac was missing avocado, seasoning and possibly even the sweet onion and the cilantro. The other guac uses the traditional guac as the base, so also no bueno. The firecracker shrimp had no fire and was super sweet. The rockfish taco was edible but could have been better seasoned. The drinks had to be remade. Sigh. But the arrive was amazing. Was checked on frequently enough and very pleasant. read more

This is a posh cool spot. It would be a great place to take your special someone on a romantic night out. It is dimily lit and the food is quite good. If you like tequila, they have a wall of it. I wish I had taken more pictures here, but I was out with family and got caught up in catching up. I had the grilled octopus, it was amazing. No pictures of my food, they all came out blurry. Also ordered a side of Brussels, which was like made for an army. If you order the Brussels, there is enough to share with a table of like 6. Had some great tequila here. Thus is on my list to circle back around to, alas, in Baltimore and even Fells Point where this restaurant is located, there are so many great spots to choose from. read more

We were greeted very nicely by the ladies in the front who quickly sat us down at a nice table with a gorgeous view of the harbor. For such a busy afternoon, we were seated so fast as well as our waitress was super attentive to our table. First, we order chips and guacamole which was so good by the way, their chips are phenomenal.
