I love Bar-Bacoa! Lately, I've been frequenting all the tapas bars in Atlanta. A friend suggested Bar-Bacoa and it does not disappoint! Food: The Chile Rubbed BBQ Salmon is AMAZING! Perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked, and served over a delicious bed of creamy grits. It's definitely my favorite of all the dishes that we tried...
Bar-Bacoa is amazing! They have a ton of options on the menu so it's difficult to order because everything looks so delicious. We got the barbacoa quesadilla, carne asada, octopus, scallops, salmon, skillet queso, and octopus.The quesadilla is very tender and cheesy and paired with verde salsa, sour cream, and pico de Gallo. Probably the best quesadilla I've had in a long time...
I love Bar-Bacoa! Start with one of their margaritas! They are GREAT! I'm from Texas and am super picky about my chips and salsa and theirs is amazing! Both their red and green salsas rock! Get an order of their queso and guac. I love the grilled shrimp taco and my husband loves the trailer park...
I'm so happy I found this tapas restaurant! It's the perfect place to sample a few different plates with a friend. I got to try crab cakes, the chicken empanada, and the nachos. My expectations were moderate but the food completely blew me out of the water. Everything was super flavorful, I think the chicken empanada is a must try...
Really just an awesome neighborhood place. Good drinks, excellent brunch menu, and the tacos are some of the best I've ever had. Staff is very friendly. I tend not to get much off the tapas menu, but their queso and mexican street corn are absolutely AMAZING. Sunday brunch menu is also A+ and great value. Would give 6 stars if I could!
