Contribute Feedback What Carmen Lara likes about Barbacoa's:
The food here is good. I just have had different experiences with how it’s been prepared(portion wise) depending on who makes it. There hasn’t been consistency. I was disappointed in my most recent experience. The person would fill the scoop of an item and then only use half of it in the burrito and said they’d have to charge double when asked if “more beans” (rest of scoop). I will continue to go, but I know at what... View all feedback.
What Nathan Marchbank doesn't like about Barbacoa's:
Barbacoa 's used to be a staple for us when going through Spearfish. Over the years, the food quality has gone down, the prices have skyrocketed, and the environment is meh at best. Last time we were in, the AC wasn 't working and it was hotter in the dining area than outside. View all feedback.
Barbacoa used to be one of our go-to places when we visited Spearfish. However, over the years, the quality of the food has declined, the prices have increased dramatically, and the overall atmosphere has become quite lackluster. During our last visit, the air conditioning was broken, and it was actually warmer inside the dining area than it was outside.
The staff and service were good, but unfortunately, the food fell flat and lacked flavor. The chicken bowl had a lot of inedible bits, like tendons and gristle. The soda was nice, but overall, it felt very overpriced.
We were eager to try this restaurant after reading positive reviews and seeing attractive photos. However, when we arrived, the staff seemed unfriendly when we asked for recommendations. We decided to go with the fish tacos and chicken nachos. Unfortunately, the fish wasn’t fresh, the queso was watery, and the nachos came with a half-filled bowl of chips. As we endured the heat of the restaurant while eating our lackluster meal, we found ourselves wishing the food matched the glowing reviews we had seen. The only highlight was their Chuck Norris and Honey Habanero Hot Sauce.
We stopped by yesterday and waited quite awhile and the line never moved. We were not greeted and honestly the workers seemed annoyed that there line got even bigger. It was also hot in there, 84 degrees to be exact according to there AC thermostat. The bathrooms are filthy. The prices are ridiculous. We ended up leaving. I don't understand how you can screw up a burrito bar this bad, but barbacoa figured it out. I would be surprised if this place stayed open another 6 months. I will not be back...
7/22/24 Prices are out of control...$31.40 for 1 bean burrito $13), 2 fish tacos $9.5), 1 Perrier water price unknown), 1 PBR price unknown). They never offer a receipt. Two weeks ago a bean burrito was $9... I will no longer spend my money at Barbacoa's. And, since I'm complaining I will mention the fact that the place is hotter than a house fire. Also, there is always a person usually a female) running the register who is totally clueless about the prices...RIP Barb's
