Barbacoa - Boise

I cannot say enough about my experience at Barbacoa Grill. I got seafood skewers while my dad and Grandpa got a ribeye steak. I got to take a bite, and it was one of the best steaks I've ever had. Our view was amazing, our server was thoughtful and wonderful. I asked for salt, and she returned with these three bowls of different types of salt! Just a wonderful experience and a wonderful way to wrap up a visit to Boise.

Food was good, with the exception of the Tuna tartare. This is supposed to be one of their dishes that they are known for and it was bland, no taste and served with lettuce, which kept the bland affect. Crab cakes, steak, artichoke bites all were very good. Fried cheesecake bites were scrumptious and drinks were decently good! Service was personable and prices were very high and a louder atmosphere, but overall a nice dinner.

Really cool atmosphere. Staff is excellent, really nice, attentive The ribs were dry, the sauteed mushroom side dry and boring and I love mushrooms and I couldn 't eat much of it ... , my husband got a clam appetizer and he enjoyed it but MANY of the clams had lost their meat and they weren 't on the bottom, he got paella for dinner, it was pretty good, not amazing, not bad, not worth $36 ... Desserts were large and yummy. It 's good. The food is not great, just good, not worth the price.

This place is all about the atmosphere. It is a great place for a business dinner or special event. The waitress are very attentive and nice. Their guacamole is one of the best I have had. They make it right in front of you. They have great food. Their hot rock stake is fun and enjoyable to watch while it is on fire. The sauce they use for the firing the stake has a great taste. The stake is great. I like my stake medium rare I didn't pull my stake off the hot rock while I was eating it. At the end my stake was medium but that was my fault. I do struggle with the price tag of $50 for 10 oz stake.

Great atmosphere for those looking for good food and drinks. Some balk for a cheap menu, but the portions are huge and very well designed. Some nights are definitely on the trendy side, but the big employees and delicious drinks make all your worries melt away!
