This was a great meal! The margarita was the best I've ever had, I wouldn't change a thing. The Arroz was delicious and had a good spice to it on its own.

What a great find! Good food, enjoyed the jalapeño poppers and birria quesadilla. Great dips and sauces and a good selection of bottled hot sauces. Fast friendly service.

I recently visited El Barco Bar and Grill and was thoroughly impressed with the entire dining experience. The evening started with a La Caribena Margarita, which was an absolute highlight. The blend of coconut and peach created a refreshing tropical flavor, and it was stronger than most margaritas I’ve had. If you’re looking for a drink that’s both flavorful and packs a punch, this is it.For my entrée, I went with the Burrito Chori-Pollo. This dish was everything I hoped it would be. The burrito was generously stuffed with tender chicken, perfectly cooked rice, and savory beans. The addition of chorizo provided a nice smoky flavor that complemented the other ingredients well. The burrito was topped with fresh pico de gallo, adding a bright and zesty finish to each bite.To complete the meal, I ordered a side of sweet plantains, which were simply delightful. They were cooked to perfection with just the right amount of caramelization, making them a great contrast to the savory flavors of the burrito.The atmosphere of El Barco was lively and welcoming, making it a great spot for a casual meal or a night out with friends. The service was prompt and friendly, rounding out a great dining experience. I’ll definitely be back to explore more of their menu!

One of the nicer mexican restaurants, with absolutely great food and very good service. You get what you pay for - it’s worth the difference.I can fully recommend the Chorri-Pollo burrito; very tasty and a generous serving.

We stopped by and were happily surprised that the restaurant is a seafood Mexican place since we absolutely love Mexican food. I had the Pasta Chipotle, which is absolutely delicious . The sauce was very liquidy at first sight, however, I wanted to lift the plate and just slurp it all! I have a feeling this would be my go-to dish when I come back. My husband had the chicken, fried chimichanga, and he said it was very delicious; the rice and beans were delicious, perfect flavors. The Guac was so good. Our waitress was friendly and attentive.

What a pleasant discovery!You must visit this place if you are up for delicious fresh food, great service, and a cozy atmosphere. Felt just like at home. Huge selection of fish/seafood items. Everything is soooo tasty. And freshly made just in front of you guacamole is something I am ready to come back to every day!

Have you noticed that the red sauce at most Mexican restaurants tastes the same? Not here. It was flavorful but not overly spicy. I had Topo Pollo, and it was one of the best meals I've eaten at any Mexican restaurant. Chicken was tender, and the sauce was very flavorful. Refried beans were also great. And, for those of you who enjoy a large drink, check out the picture of my wife's Sangria.

It was nice to dine at a Mexican restaurant where the food was tasty and well seasoned. They have more seafood options than usual but most traditional dishes are also available. The server noticed the additional request I had and brought out everything correctly. He also asked a couple times if we had anything needed. Nowadays that's worth mentioning it.
