El Barco is a highly recommended restaurant known for its delicious and flavorful Mexican and seafood cuisine. The marlin tacos and the green salsa are particularly noteworthy, and new additions like tacos El Gobernador and Cito Fries (Cajun) have received praise for their delicious flavors. The salmon and ranchera platter continue to be favorites. The restaurant offers a comfortable atmosphere that is nice and chill, with a jukebox adding to the ambiance, making it reminiscent of Original Mike’s during the evening.
The casual, hands-on vibe makes it a great spot for seafood lovers, with the signature shrimp in a bag being a standout dish. The shrimp are perfectly cooked and drenched in rich, zesty sauces like Cajun, garlic butter, and lemon pepper. Portions are generous, making it perfect for sharing.
The service is excellent, with attentive and friendly staff providing great recommendations and quick service. Guests have noted the outstanding care from staff members like Nadya and Pau, who make diners feel welcome and appreciated. The bartender also creates delicious drinks, and overall customer service is highly praised.
