About the restaurant

Tacos, tapas, mixologist cocktails and -of course- authentically-prepared barbacoa in the heart of Virginia-Highlands, Atlanta. An eclectic-chic, Spanish vibe accented with warm copper and rich textiles, mood lighting and local artwork plus a comfortable covered patio make bar.bacoa the perfect date night, girl's night, celebratory night, or post-work happy hour spot.

Definitely enjoyed eating inside since it was raining outside. We got seated quickly and had good weight service. The noise level was a bit loud, but that was to be expected.

I made a reservation. My table was ready when I got there. The service and food were great. After the check was paid they didn’t rush us to leave. Great experience. The only thing i didn’t like was the parking was almost $30. Had I known that I would’ve found street parking.
