    We had a “date night” quick neighborhood dinner at Bar.bacoa after a visit from family. A good rating because it was a bit of a mixed bag. Beer selection is good, but a spicy margarita was nothing special. We had tapas; some were excellent (bacon wrapped dates, corn and poblano empanadas) while others were disappointing (salad with apples and manchego; shrimp and grits with too much sausage that just tasted like grocery-store kielbasa). Good, but not great, even vs. expectations for a neighborhood place.
