I hopped over to Barcocina a few months ago for my birthday dinner-- what a vibrant place to be! My friend made a reservation on my behalf and arrived at our outdoor table early. Parking was such a struggle so I was a bit late (heads up to account for parking for those visiting Barcocina for dinner in the future!). Upon arrival, I immediately noticed how busy it was! It's almost impossible to hear yourself or each other inside so I was glad my friends and I opted for an outdoor table. Right outside, there was live music and it was great entertainment to go along with food and conversation. I ordered a Rum Punch and my waitress, when checking my ID, noticed that it was my birthday and plopped on a birthday candle-- so sweet of her! The drink was delicious, fairly strong, and sugary. I opted for the purple rice pilaf because it looked like a good portion and was a great vegan option (also, it looked so pretty!). The pilaf was delicious and I highly recommend this dish to everyone! After dinner, my friends and I took a walk around the area. If you're looking for an eventful evening with delicious drinks, unique food, and wonderful customer service, Barcocina is the place to be! Thanks for a wonderful birthday evening! read more

The food here was so amazing and so was the service! We ordered the bang bang cauliflower tacos, the mushroom tacos, the elote dip, and the brussel sprouts. Everything was seasoned so well, I would definitely recommend getting the elote dip as an appetizer. We had a really nice view of the water and sunset, so I would also recommend getting seated outdoors if weather permits. read more

Came for a bachelorette brunch, all the food was super yummy & the drinks were delicious, definitely a fun spot with friends!

It was Sunday afternoon around 12:30pm and we were able to get a seat at the bar during prime brunch hours! The food and decor here give an updated/ newly renovated vibe. You get a nice view of the water so I definitely loved the location of this restaurant. The food was surprisingly cheap considering how the interior of the restaurant was new and very nice looking. The portions they give are almost small plate or tapas size but definitely full of a lot of flavor. Due to the great service even though it was very busy I will definitely be back here as we get further into the warmer months. I definitely recommend trying the Shrimp and Crab spicy omelette, and maybe ordering 2-3 plates to share with your group. read more

The food here was good, not great, but that might have been because I don't like a lot of sauce and my tacos came with A LOT of sauce... however, I don't want to compromise my raiting of the restuarant because the sauce was really good! I keep coming back though, not because of the food, but because I love sitting outside on the harbor on a nice day. I could keep coming back here for that alone! Luckily, this place is more than good atmosphere, their drinks are also awesome! I love the smokey margarita, that thing is dangerous! I will definately be back, again, and again! read more

During my recent visit to Baltimore I visited barcocina twice and fell in love with their breakfast tacos. The inside has a nice seating area with a bar but the highlight is sitting outdoors overlooking the inner harbor. We were able to get a table for brunch without reservations but it was pretty packed. The servers were attentive both times I went. Overall this is a great taco spot in Baltimore and I would visit again. read more

Barcocina - Breakfast tacos, fish tacos - Bars Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I had very high hopes for this place because I loveeeee tacos. Upon arriving, we were seated immediately. We sat out back at a "sunny" table but that was fine. However, that's where it ended. We had to get up after waiting for 20 minutes to get a server to even give us water and it wasent even busy. After finally getting drinks the service went pretty fast. However, all throughout the meal several servers (not ours because I would have left) were at the next table petting / playing with a guests dog and then walk directly to another customer table. It was disgusting. After we were done, it took over 30 minutes to bring boxes and the check. I also want to mention, this particular day (Labor Day), they only had about 4 things on the menu to eat. Two for us because we're vegetarian. I will not be returning. read more

Sorry I don't have pictures of the food but I was hungry. I had Brussel sprouts and buffalo chicken tacos. They were delicious and the sangria was flavorful. That said the reason the restaurant receives a 3 star rating are because of the logistics issues presented. My friend made the reservation in open table and it was accepted. My friend arrives on time and was told that we only had 1.5 hours because they gave a party at 5. Why would you even take reservations if you can't accommodate at least 2 hours which allows time for guess to determine what they want, order drinks, food and have a few minutes for conversation. Also the waitress while not bad it was not stellar service. I just felt rushed in the experience. read more

Went to barcocina and the Caesar salad was less than favorable, kinda hard to mess up Caesar salad! Regardless the restaurant graciously accepted the salad back and I replaced that dish with the steal and cheese empanadas. The empanadas were freshly baked and delicious I ordered yucca fries along with it! The favorite dish was calamari with hot sauce and stewed tomatoes! Everyone had their hands in my plate. Honorable mention to the Lemon drop martini made with a cane sugar rim! This drink was a nice blend of sweet and tart! read more

Visited it last night with a coworker. The food was great, we got the warm Elote dip, cheesesteak, empanadas, shrimp, quesadilla, and the ancho fries. Blackberry sangria was awesome. Our waitress was very friendly and we received good service. I was very disappointed after a great meal when I received the bill and saw that they had automatically added a 20% gratuity for a table of two. Then a line for an additional tip with suggested additional tip. I understand this is standard practice for large parties, but for two people? I almost tipped on top of it since I didn't see the auto gratuity right away. It was only when I wondered why the bill was so high that I saw it had been added on. I would've tipped her at least 20%, but I didn't appreciate that being added into my bill read more

This is an adorable waterfront spot with delicious food and drinks. The shrimp quesadilla was amazing and the margarita flavors are so much fun. I tried the blackberry but there were so many options and my friends all liked the ones they chose too. The fries are yummier than normal fries, I think they are battered or something. It's not the best Mexican food I've found in Baltimore, but it is a lovely overall experience. Will definitely be back. There is great indoor and outdoor patio seating and its the perfect spot to sit at close to sunset time. read more

I was very surprised when I saw the low stars for Barcocina! I showed my girlfriend who came with me who was shocked as well. She was who suggested we come. She has been numerous times, she said she has had a great meal each visit. Barcocina has a great location on the water in Fells Point. Wonderful for outdoor dining and people watching. Our service was GREAT! I wish I could remember our servers name as I would request his section again next time I come. There will be a next time! The Guacamole is the best I have had in a long time. Chunks of avocado topped with a delish balsamic deduction. Our Mahi Mahi tacos were cooked perfectly. They came with a yummy sauce to drizzle or dip the tacos in. Just yum! I loved my Cucumber Crush! So refreshing and not too sweet. Perfect for a day eating out on the water. 5 Stars Barcocina! read more

Rounding this one up from a 3.5 We were looking for our Taco Tuesday fix and found this gorgeous spot that has a wonderful harbor view when sitting outside. This spot has both indoor and outdoor seating and are observing some safety measures with COVID which include staff wearing masks and ensuring distance seating. On a weird service note (which is why I didn't opt to give this place 5 stars) we were originally placed at a far back table in their alley that couldn't even see the water. We asked if there was another table closer to the water (fully aware that there were several tables towards the front that were open). We waited outside for our hostess to return, and a waiter returned instead unaware of our original request. We asked again for the possibility of sitting by the water, to which the waiter went back in and finally came back out to move us up. Continuing through, it seemed like a hassle to get simple requests completed (napkins, water, beer options, utensils, etc..). Overall, super weird staff experience that could have been handled better. That being said, the food was solid. They specialize in fusion tacos, so we went with their cheeseburger tacos and black pepper mahi mahi tacos. We also got their original Barocina guac which was bountiful and wonderful with some crisp and thick tortilla chips. Both tacos come with a unique sauce to garnish if you'd like to get saucy with each of your bites. The mahi mahi tacos were exactly as expected- nothing unique- but very well done. The cheeseburger tacos (though I was skeptical) were way better than I thought. I usually don't like tacos with just beef, but they did a great job with this cheeseburger upgrade- seasoned steak, smoked cheddar tomato, pickled shallots, and chipotle mayo. My wife also opted for the margarita which I would say was- average. Overall- great views, fun tacos, okay service. read more

Large restaurant easy to accommodate large parties. Great scenery to sit on the patio by the water. 3 tacos came in our order which was a little pricy but for the location is understandable. Great chips and guac. read more

I went here on a Sunday for brunch and it was a little more packed than I expected it to be with covid regulations but they still had all tables spaced 6+ feet apart. I waited 20-30 minutes when I came with a party of 3, but that wasn't a problem since we just walked around Fells Point and got a text when our table was ready! The food was very good and came out faster than expected considering how many people were there. They accidentally gave one dish to a different table so they brought that dish for us later with the manager and he took it off the bill which was really kind considering we only had to wait an extra 5 minutes for it! We did outdoor seating which had a lovely view of the harbor!! I think this is a great place to bring people who you want to show Baltimore to. read more

I had the most delicious meal here for Cinco De Mayo. We opted to sit outside since it was a beautiful day and it made the experience even more special. Let's start with the drinks : CLASSIC margarita was on POINT. I only needed one. Meal: shrimp quesidilla, Kung Pao Tacos, and yuca fries. Everything was seasoned to perfection! I had no complaints and would order this meal again! We felt safe and socially distanced. Staff wore masks and the table was disinfected before we were seated. I had a wonderful time and a great lunch! read more

I made reservations online a couple of days ago. My friends and I were late but forgot to call the restaurant. When we arrived they said they already cancelled our table for the covered porch area but was able to accommodate us outside at the tables. It was a super hot day but the umbrella definitely did help. My friends and I got a variety of drinks including the rose sangria and cucumber crush. The rose sangria was very good! Very refreshing on this hot day. My friends enjoyed their drinks too! Our waitress was so sweet she told us she was new so we were patient with her. She did a great job being our waitress for being so new! Our guac and chips came out later then we hoped but the kitchen was backed up with orders. When the guac did come out with the chips omg one of the best guacs I've ever had! So fresh. I got the pineapple and pork tacos which were really good! The pineapple sweetness paired with the pork was just perfect. My friends got the shrimp and crab omelette and the fish tacos. Everyone enjoyed their meal and our view of the harbor was phenomenal. Would def. Recommend this place for a brunch in Fells. Next time hopefully we will be on time to sit in the porch area (which was much cooler). read more

This was my second time visiting Barcocina. My first visit wasn't great so I was eager to try to again. At the time they were doing indoor dining. They have a wide range of things to choose from on the menu. I ordered cheeseburger tacos: which I loved, 10/10. The sauce they add to it is a nice touch. They cost $12 for 3 tacos and it's well worth it. Fries: really enjoyed Apply cider margarita: I believe this is a seasonal drink. The cinnamon rlly added a nice flavor to the drink. I really liked it . I really like the inside, it has a nice ambiance. Nice place to come for drinks, and a night out with friends. The service was nice, can't complain. Barcocina is definitely a go-to spot if you're in Baltimore. read more

I loved our experience at Barcocina Justin S was such a great server. He's very personable and very professional.

Celebrated my birthday here with a friend. The waiter was really nice and gave me a free shot for my birthday. Ate outside, which is fully covered and would be great for rain or shine. Menus are online due to COVID. Had the bottomless mimosas. Did not like that they put ice in the carafes. It was hot outside so the mimosas ended up being watered down fairly quickly. Enjoyed the mimosas after I asked for no ice. Had the breakfast tacos. Really like the idea of this dish. The "taco" part is hash browns, which I felt were a little too well done. If they were cooked until just golden brown, I think they would've tasted better. The waffle was really good. If you like chocolate, you will like them. French toast was also really good. Liked the cooked bananas on top. My fav of the meal was the shrimp quesadilla. Would return. read more

I have already been to this place two times in the past month. Right by the water, reasonable prices and the food is pretty good too! First time I went for brunch. Had the breakfast tacos and mimosas. Second time we went for drinks and appetizers. Those cauliflower tacos were really good and so were the drinks read more

First off let's get this out in the air. I think out of all the restaurants in Fells Point this one has the best view. I had never been here but wanted to sit and watch the ocean so this was my best option for that. Service was really phenomenal right off the bat. They had a unique drink menu and I wanted to try something new and the waitress helped my indecisive butt pick a drink. Hubby had Buffalo Trace, he always like find a bar with his bourbon. I ended up getting a cucumber drink, a blackberry margarita, and the street corn appetizer. The cucumber drink was very good.. if you like cucumber like I do. I felt like I was drinking a cucumber with a splash of alcohol and I loved it. It was hot that day so it was super refreshing. The blackberry margarita I was expecting to be a super fruity cocktail but it had an awesome combo of sweet and salty. The blackberry wasn't overpowering and I still got the tequila and lime aspect of the margarita as well. I got sugar around the rim but really salt would have been more appropriate. I don't usually get too adventurous with trying new drinks but this is something I would for sure order again. The street corn app came with a solid amount of dip and chips but it was missing something. I think maybe the dip could have used lime and cilantro and salt as the sweetness of the corn and the creamy of the cotija cheese needed something to cut it. We added salt and ordered limes and this improved the dish immensely. The atmosphere is really why you come here. The place has beautiful shiplap all around it and the view of the harbor can't be beat. That ocean breeze just blows right in. I would come back for a drink on a hot day. read more

Updating because the last time we came the fish in our tacos had clearly gone bad. The beef was incredibly tough/chewy.

Barcocina Is very spacious with a huge bar area. Very dim lit lowkey spot , perfect to watch games with the multiple TVs they had up. I know it's tapas but gah damn maybe a few more sticks of yuca would have got me full. The bang bang cauliflower tacos made up for the lack of yuca . Very good flavor and crunch. The drinks had a strong kick to them too read more

I went here for brunch with a friend. There is a nice view and outdoor area. The bar is lively. For starters we ordered guacamole with crab. It was ok, could have been seasoned a little better. We also ordered a few different tacos: mushrooms and fish. The fish resembled chicken, but the mushroom tacos were really good. Additionally, I ordered the French toast, which was underwhelming. read more

I have been to Barcocina (referred to as Barco by those that frequent it) so many times. Pre-COVID this was one of our go-to stops while out in Fells for a night of drinking with friends. It has a large wrap around bar in the main room, a smaller bar in the side "event" room and outdoor covered patio tables as well. It's pretty spacious so even when it's packed it doesn't feel horribly packed. As for normal day to day dining, Barco has great food options for every time of the day. Their brunch is great. I've tried the Hashbrown Tacos (my fav) and the Steak & Eggs. The tacos have hashbrowns instead of a normal tortilla shell. I get this almost every brunch. They also have AYCD mimosas & bloody's for $15, which is a must for every brunch. For starters/snacks, they have delicious guacamole. They have a bunch of different kinds but my favorite is the house Barcocina Guac. It has roasted garlic, balsamic drizzled on top with crumbled Oaxaca cheese. SO GOOD! You won't want to stop eating it. For lunch/dinner, I usually get their tacos. I've tried the Mushroom Tinga, Cheeseburger, Korean Beef, Caribbean Rockfish and El Pastor. I really liked all of them but I think my favorites are the Mushroom and Rockfish, just because I'm not a huge fan of meat. My boyfriend's favorites are definitely the Korean Beef and El Pastor. If you get the chance, you should definitely try out this waterfront Baltimore fav. read more

I'm a bit conflicted on the rating for this place, mainly because I had visited it before and loved it but I felt a bit disappointed today. The cocktails are without a doubt the best items on the menu. Their seasonal apple cider margarita was well balanced in flavor. We started with the black bean queso and chips. The queso was delicious, with hints of smoke which give it a very good taste. We had the pineapple pork tacos and the mushroom tinga tacos. I was actually a bit disappointed about the tacos. The pork ones were salty and were missing a kick of spice; the mushrooms ones had a very strong umami flavor which lacked balance (the accompanying sauces did not balance the flavor of the tacos). The taste of these was not bad, but both selections just lacked balance in flavors. Customer service was excellent, our server McLain (I hope im spelling it correctly) was friendly and provided good suggestions. The bathroom set up was a bit uncomfortable and found that some people, customers and staff weren't always wearing their masks properly. Overall their COVID-19 protocols were good but may need more reinforcement. The cocktails and good customer service invite me to return and hopefully the tacos will be better. read more

Couldn't be happier! Great service, delicious food and good drinks. Stopped in on a Sunday night it was fairly empty, greeted with a temp check (thank you)! We sat at the bar, the bartender was very friendly and pleasant. I had a mezcal margarita and it was delicious!! Ordered the barcocina guacamole it was fantastic. A little bummed that were out of calamari but the guacamole def made up for it. We also ordered the fish and shrimp tacos which were pretty good. I highly recommend trying a mezcal flight! We had an illegal flight. The icing on the cake was the dessert the chocolate ganache was AMAZING! Felt very "covid safe" read more

Awesome spring weather calls for outdoor dining, and where better in Baltimore than Barcocina! We started with the Barcocina Guacamole, which I have been getting every time I come here for years. The balsamic is delightful, hopefully they never take this off the menu. My party had the poached pear salad with Salmon and the Rockfish tacos, both of which were great! I tried the cheesesteak empanadas and I enjoyed them, they had a little spice that was nice. They came with queso so we were lucky we had chips from the guac. Maddie our server was super nice and helpful! read more

I came here with a group of girls to celebrate a friend's birthday. We ordered bottomless mimosas and some chips and guac as a starter. The chips are really crunchy and a lil heavy but good! I can't speak for the guac since I didn't have any but it was gone within minutes! Our entrees ranged from omelettes, salads, spiced pork hash, and hash brown tacos. Hash brown tacos are something I never knew I needed in my life until I had brunch at Barcocina. The hash browns serve as the taco shell, and are filled with cheesy eggs and topped with hollandaise sauce, crema, and pico de gallo. The order only comes with two tacos, but it is plenty to fill you up. We told the server it was someone's birthday and she brought out a dish that consisted of lil chocolate cakes and vanilla ice cream. It was large enough to share with our group of 6 and v yummy! Service was a little slow, especially when it came to refilling mimosas. You may have to track down the server to get your money's worth of drinks if you order the bottomless mimosas. Other than that, we really enjoyed brunch. I'm ready to come back for another round of hash brown tacos! read more

Barcocina is a great place to get lunch. Get the 3 course for 15 special. It's a great deal! We were there on a Tuesday and the restaurant was practically empty, so we were able to obtain seats in the back and look out at the water. Our server arrived promptly and provided excellent service throughout the meal. I didn't have to ask for a water refill a single time. Most of the food was above average, with a few dishes truly standing out. I ordered a Korean Beef taco and a Cheeseburger taco. The Korean beef taco had a little too much sauce, which was a tad too sweet and overpowered the other flavors. Surprisingly, the cheeseburger taco was well balanced. I found myself craving another one days later. The guac was delicious, the chips fresh and warm. The Caesar salad tasted exactly as you'd expect. The only part of the meal that was truly "bad" was the kimchi. I usually love kimchi. This was horrid. Avoid it. read more

The brunch menu here is somewhat Mexican themed and limited in options as expected, but the food was fairly good. The omelettes were well prepared, including the egg white option. The guacamole and salsa toppings on the omelettes brought a fresh touch to the cheesy, rich omelettes. The potato hash was typical though not crispy. Frank's hot sauce and ketchup were available. The bloody mary beverage was vodka with a premade mix, which was savory and nothing special. The main part of the experience we would change was just how cold and drafty the place was the entire time. It would've been a fine brunch experience if the indoor temperature was significantly warmer. We probably won't be back for brunch unless we were short of other options. read more
