Was me and my wife's 19th year wedding anniversary and they sat us out on the very back little tented area where we were unable to enjoy the atmosphere after making reservation 3 days in advance and noting that it was my 19th anniversary I expected our experience to be completely different especially after all the good things I have heard about Barbacoa unfortunately my experience was not that if I were asked if I would return definite no

Had a great experience here when visiting Boise. Guacamole was probably my favorite part. The steak and meat was exceptional. Loved the atmosphere, friendly service, and beautiful water view. Hope to return here again.

The food and the staff were both excellent. The atmosphere was awesome. We went on Tuesday evening and the restaurant was packed. Look like everybody was enjoying yourself.

Cocktails hit or miss depending on the bartender. Food is all good.If you ever wanted to eat $50-100 a person in a ramshackle venue that equally feels like the inside of a winery tasting room, Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean, Juicy Couture and Colonial Mexican Hacienda design; this is the place.

Best steak I’ve had in Boise, by far. I’ve had all the other fancy places and this put them to shame. Guac was delicious. Drinks were delicious and service was on point. I’ve been here multiple times and it never disappoints.

Marco helped us, a party of 9 as was attentive and prompt. The octopus and guacamole were delicious. Most at the table had the Hot Rock filet which tender and comes with a good selection of sides.The atmosphere is eclectic, unique and warm. Great place for a date or a lot of people.

Amazing experience in every detail! We felt very special with the attention we received! Knowledgeable staff and the atmosphere was wonderful! My compliments to the chef on one of the best meals I have ever had!

When you visit Boise and ask anyone about great places to eat, you will find that there is a wonderful assortment of choices. Without exception, everyone we asked had Barbacoa Grill at the top of their list. On our last visit we tried to visit but they were fully booked. This visit we planned ahead, after our meal, we now understand why this place deserves the attention it has received. Everything here is unique, from the decor, the menu options, the food presentation, it was all memorable. Heck, even finding the correct bathroom door to enter is an experience! We thoroughly enjoyed our meal, our server, and the entire experience. It is expensive, however you get what you pay for.Parking: The place is always busy so come early to find a good parking spot!

Barbacoa in Boise, Idaho, offers an unforgettable dining experience with its table-side guacamole service. The fresh avocados, lime, cilantro, and jalapeños create a symphony of flavors. Don't miss their awesome huckleberry vodka cocktail, perfectly complementing their vibrant menu. Whether enjoying the guacamole or Latin American-inspired dishes, Barbacoa promises a memorable culinary journey in Boise.

Very disappointed, for how hyped this place is. Our server Marco was fantastic and the team engaging, but, save for the guacamole, our food was a big miss. Worst lamb chops I've ever had; over-salted, chewy and rare, when I had requested them medium. The Caesar salad was a $14 bastardization, which my wife returned, and her pasta was plain meh. Overall, it felt like a waste of $150, and we won't be back unless someone else is paying.

This restaurant was quite the experience!! My hubby and I celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary there and the waitress knew her stuff! Everything she suggested was AMAZING! She was knowledgeable, helpful, and lively. Some guys were cussing it up at another table and the pictures on the wall were risque in my face but other than that it's a must-try!
