Barcocina has such great waterfront views. It's very spacious with lots of seating indoors and outdoors. I've been here a lot in the past for dining and to enjoy the night scene as well, which have all been fun. I came back here recently with a coworker for lunch. I got the Firecracker Shrimp tacos and Yucca Frites and he got the Smoked Mushroom, Brussels Sprouts, and two fried eggs. We both found the Brussels sprouts too sweet but otherwise, everything else was quite good. Service was friendly and quick. We both enjoyed dining here and plan to be back. read more

First time visit with friends. Right on the waterfront. We sat outside (humid and warm) cool view - Fells Point waterfront has a very trendy vibe. Had Tuna tacos from the brunch menu - generous slices of spicy tuna - exceptional! Had guac and fries which also were delicious. Prices were great for the quality of the food. Our waiter was Matt - 5 stars for him alone. Friendly and not in a rush, highly attentive, loves his role. We will definitely add it to our 'return visit list' read more

Barcocina has beautiful waterfront views and a great vibe for hanging out with friends. We had order the cheeseburger and cauliflower tacos to try something new but while it was good, I don't think I would order it again. The yucca fries were covered in a sauce that was a little sour and didn't pair well, I think I would've enjoyed it more if they put the sauce on the side. I will say that the French fries were really good, perfectly crispy and had a great flavor. It was actually my favorite dish. Our waitress was great in always checking in on us and brining out our food and drinks pretty fast. read more

One of the best octopus fish ever. Service was amazing and super accommodating. We were in a rush to another destination and the waitress was on point and got to expedite our order. Now that's what I called top notch service. Love the open door feel especially by the port and the sea breeze really cool us down during the summer heat wave. I didn't take a photo of the tuna tostada since it was two large fried chips and tuna sprinkled over and it was super salty. I won't order that again. Other than that, bars specials are there and great happy hour values. Come back again whenever I visit Fells Point read more

Always a solid choice for us when we visit Fells Point. For this stop we sat at the bar on a Sunday. Watched some football, had a few beers, sangrias & some food. Bartender was pleasant & efficient. Restaurant was not busy but the bar was hopping. They have a mix of high tops, low tops, indoor & outdoor seating plus a nice size bar. Love their cauliflower tacos!! read more

Located right off the water down at fells point . Definitely a great place to come and enjoy the outdoor scenery . When you sit down be-sure to check your silverware/ dinnerware . We sat at a table and the plates in front of us were disgusting as if they wasn't washed just shaken . Anyways our server was nice she brought us new silverware/dinnerware . The Peruvian chicken taco was amazing . I was kind of sad of the amount of calamari they gave but it was still good. I would come back for sure . Be mindful that a 20% gratuity is already added read more

This was my first time eating here and overall the food plus atmosphere was nice. I met my corworkers there for a 'staff meeting' lol. The weather was beautiful so we sat in the closed in patio, directly across from the water, which added an extra touch of delight. Before we ordered we got chips (which I wish came without salt) guacamole and queso. I'm not a fan of quac, but the quest was fire! Seeing that it was my first time, I didn't know what to order, so I went with their chicken tacos (safe choice). They offered 2 types buffalo and Peruvian. Matt, our sever who was new, advised the Peruvian ( he vouched for it, lol). They were honestly good, it was HEAVY Peruvian, but it was just enough seasoning. The chicken was real pull chicken served on a corn tortilla. I'll definitely be back, when I have the taste for tacos, drinks, and sightseeing. I just wished they validate parking read more

Honestly this was not my first choice to get food but I'm glad I did. First of all the service was really good. Had a seat right by the water which was cool because I had family from out of town and it gave them the opportunity to take pictures. I had the ancho quesadillas which were flavorful. I know it's hard to mess up quesadillas but some places do. The fries were good, the yuca was good, the chips, and the guacamole was good as well. read more

Great option to get some solid food and drinks by the harbor. Especially recommend coming during happy hour when the wines are $5 and the draft beer is $4. The fish tacos are great, mildly spicy and pretty flavorful. The ancho fries also have a great mild kick to them. Overall a great spot for a casual meal that you can rely on! read more

The restaurant is large and very aesthetic. Ample outdoor space. One person in our party made the reservation for outside. I called and also asked them about accommodations. They said they made a note of the food allergies. When we get there, they tried to sit us inside One of our diners talked to the host so we were able to get a seat outside. Because of this, I double checked with our server about the food allergies. He was very nice about everything. I ordered the guacamole (I bought my own gf chips), the Green goddess avocado salad with shrimp and a virgin blackberry mojito. The food was great - no reaction. The drink was great too. They didn't just throw juice in a cup. read more

Food is surprisingly good for a tourist trap. The waitress was friendly but tied to pick up the plates many times even though there was still food on the plate. When she gave me the bill and I didn't pay right away, she makes a face. She didn't even say thank you after I paid. A 20% tip added on the bill is a joke. Hispanic workers are useless dues to the language challenge. read more

We had a good time at Barcocina. We were there for the rehearsal dinner and then a reception to welcome out of town guest The food was very good. the tuna poke, the calamari, and the guacamole were all very flavorful and fresh. I ordered the steaks Sada and I had a nice seasoning. It comes with small potatoes, which I would've probably preferred rice instead I did not drink, but our party was drinking and noted. The cocktails were good. The private reception had a nice room that people could sit or stand by the bar, staff are very friendly great place to be by the water. read more

Sadly, Barcocina is a staple in fells point. Located right by the pier, it's a huge restaurant and venue with loud music playing outside especially in the summer. It's a popular watering hole for drinks for HH, and late night, and brunch. I've been here a few times over the years. I came once during the pandemic and was horrified by the food, and in the last year, it's been more average. It's a Mexican-fusion style restaurant with a wider selection of tequila. The staff is usually very friendly, they're used to the large crowds that come by here. It's not quite a tourist trap, but it's not that great. If you do want to have a view of the water and sit outside, it's a good option, but don't expect to eat anything special. read more

This spot is all about the ~vibe~ having one of the best locations on the waterfront in Baltimore. I recommend coming here in the summer time to sit outside for apps and drinks. For drinks, I tried the blackberry sangria as well as the summertime crush, both of which I enjoyed. Their Barcocina guacamole is drizzled with balsamic, which is a great touch. I also tried the Korean beef tacos, which were just okay. read more

Well, I definitely have to start by saying that the bartender(KATE) was absolutely WONDERFUL...I walked into this place looking for my friend and I sat down at the bar and just asked questions and she gave me all I needed...she was knowledgeable and patient with my indecisiveness, lol!!! I will definitely be back for sure... The food here was DELICIOUS...I am far from a taco person...I hardly eat them, but these tacos here...I can eat these ALL DAY LONG...I got the Peruvian Chicken Tacos...MY GOODNESS...the flavor was lovely, the chicken was moist, great quality, the pickled red onions, and lettuce was FRESH, and the tortillas were FRESH & TOP QUALITY... The drinks were PHENOMENAL...my mule was prepared PERFECTLY & the Old Fashion was also PERFECTION!!! This place is definitely chill, and a good place to come hear some music, vibe out with your people's and or meet some new people...it's a GREAT place...I will be back! Kate(the bartender) you're a rockstar! Keep doing your thing!!! read more

We went here for brunch today, and the food, drinks, and view were wonderful. The covered patio wraps all the way around the building and is right on the water. It has a great view and is slightly removed from the hustle of Thames Street. There are also heaters on the ceiling, so you can sit outdoors well into the fall. The smokey margarita, summer crush, and the mango mint cocktail were so good they were almost like drinking fancy juice. They also have a bottomless mimosa deal for $22 during lunch and brunch times every day. The smoked mushroom tacos are, hands down, one of the best taco experiences in Baltimore. We also shared the brunch tacos, brunch enchiladas, and french toast, and they were all very good. The french toast, in particular, was almost like dessert. It was one giant slice of bread (almost like a mini bread loaf) topped with peaches, powdered sugar, and whipped cream. And the cheese dip is the consistency of greek yogurt, so you can really scoop it up with a chip. Overall, this place is great if you want top notch cocktails with what may be the best patio in Fells Point. read more

Meh. Went here for restaurant week and wasn't really impressed. Be aware, there is a nicer side to the restaurant and then there's bar restaurant seating which wasn't a personal favorite. We did the three course with the pairing which was honestly a great deal for the price. But the food was inconsistent and so was the service. First of all we were pushed to order our first and second course together without knowing our second course would be brought out immediately. This then disrupted the flow of trying to get our second round of drinks, giving about 20 min of waiting for your drink while the food gets cold. Which leads into you getting rushed for your dessert and third drink. My first round was the guacamole with chips, pretty decent but there's no reason to put balsamic on guacamole... seemed sacrilegious since this is a Mexican place. I paired this with the Pinot Grigio, this was light and refreshing. We also did the Warm Elotes Dip which was nothing to write home about. We weren't even done with our first round when our second round came out. My table opted for the Charred Flank steak which was so juicy and tender. Yet we all got different variations of the regular menu and restaurant week menu which was comical, yet shows the kitchen is not working together. Due to getting the steaks and not even being asked for our second drink, we then waited forever for the server, then for the drinks to actually come. By the time they came, our food was already done. At this point we learned our lesson and put off ordering the third round until our cocktails were finished. For second round drinks we did the Julio Smash ( one of the strongest cocktails I've ever had, to the point where it made my stomach ache ), the Peach Palmer ( perfectly made with the right amount of sweetness ), and the Ginger ( a total banger, this was delicious ). Our third round drinks were the Espresso Martinis ( heavy on the espresso flavor but fine, we also got no foam ). Desserts consisted of the Spiced Xocolatl Crème ( the crunch of the toasted pumpkin seeds were amazing with the crème, but it was definitely not spiced ) and Tres Leche Cake ( a classic, solid dessert to order ). The food was honestly so delicious and so were the drinks. Restaurant ambiance just wasn't our favorite and our server seemed to have an attitude with us ( they have tip included so they have nothing on the line ) I personally don't have a need to come back here, it was fine for what it was, just not a stand out restaurant in my opinion. read more

They are trying hard, but substandard. Very gracious staff, but a lot of aggravating mistakes which make we wary of returning. Initially omitting delivery of certain dishes to the table, tasteless broccolini, overcooked ribs, and the worst cheesecake I've tasted. To top it off mixing up the credit cards with another table causing me the hassle of cancelling the card and waiting 10 days for a new one. Not sure if the experience is worth enduring bumbles of inexperienced staff. read more

The view and overall atmosphere of this place is definitely 5 star, but the food is more along the lines of a 3.5. I have not had any bad food, but most of what I have had is nothing to write home about. GLOWS: -Various style seating. Covered patio, inside, back patio, etc. - The service has been efficient anytime I go. - They have catering, and they also have a space inside for private events. GROWS: - Some tacos are lacking in flavor. They taste like air without any salsa topping on them. - The queso fundido is not typical. It's more of a dip rather than the cheesy dish I'm used to. read more

Really cool spot in a really nice area. This spot is right on the water and has a really nice view from anywhere in the restaurant. It was quiet when we went on a Monday afternoon for brunch. Really big drink menu. We had breakfast when we went. The food was tasty and looked pretty too. The burrito was delicious and really something different but the only thing I would say is the chorizo was only on one end of the burrito so I didn't get every part in every bite. Our waitress wasn't particularly friendly or helpful but she checked on us a few times and food came out fast. The prices were very reasonable. A great place to try! read more

2.5 stars... Met some coworkers at this joint after work for happy hour. Started out with the guac and chips...big vat of tasty green paired well with the crispy chips, good! Also had the queso which ended up being a hit, but got cold rather quickly.. Each of us ordered a taco trio and we shared...shrimp were a bit tough, but everything else was average. Ambiance is seafaring rustic, service was slow and unresponsive, and prices were ok. Can't commit for a repeat visit as everything was just average, and service was sub-par. read more

This restaurant serves a fusion version of Mexican Food and street tacos. For an appetizer we ordered queso fundido, this was the first queso fundido I had that was creamy, not a melted cheese. It had okay flavor but was not as good or met the expectation of queso fundido. I lived numerous years throughout the Southwest and this did not meet the expectation of what queso fundido is. My street tacos were satisfactory, out of the 3 types I ordered the surf n turf steak had the most flavor, I just wish the shrimp was on the taco. My sever was courteous, but there were several extended periods I want to order and request items but did not see her. read more

I've been coming to Barcocina since I moved to Baltimore and it's one of my favorites in the city for a great margarita (or three) and interesting, unique tacos that always hit the spot. Al the guacamole is amazing, but my favorites are the Oaxacan style and the house Barcocina guacamole (it has basil and it's so unique and tasty). The queso fundido is also a satisfying choice as an appetizer if you're not feeling guacamole. I'm pretty sure I've had every taco on their list, and they are all so freaking good. My favorites and the ones I always go to are the cheeseburger, Korean beef, smoked brisket, and mushroom tinga. I always recommend the cauliflower tacos, but I don't see them on the menu anymore, they must be retired (I posted pics of them anyway because I love them ). read more
