Barbacoa's Restaurant - Spearfish

We were excited to try this place after seeing reviews and photos. When we first walked in the girls working seemed put off by asking for recommendations. We ended up landing on fish tacos and chicken nachos. Fish wasn't fresh, queso was runny, and half filled bowl of chips for nachos. As we sweltered in the hot restaurant eating our mediocre food, we wished the food lived up to the stellar reviews. Only great thing 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

Really wanted to like this place, but food was not fresh and prices were high.

The inconsistency in the amount of food that you get has become out of control. The bowls have kept getting smaller and the prices keep going up. They just recently upped their prices again, it’s now $17 for a burrito bowl. It’s good food but it has stopped being worth the price. If you want good burritos/tacos go to Antunez. It’s cheaper and much more flavorful and you get more food. If you want an affordable burrito bowl go to Qdoba.
