About El Barco Mariscos

El Barco Mariscos is a Mexican restaurant located in Chicago's West Town neighborhood. The reviews paint a mixed picture of the establishment. While the food is described as "amazing" and "super authentic," with great margaritas and micheladas, there are also concerns about the high prices, reduced portions, and sloppy preparation. The shrimp seem to be lower grade, though the steaks are cooked excellent. The veggies were ok but a bit undercooked. AVOID MARGARITAS PREMADE WITH SUBSTANDARD TEQUILA—pitchers are tiny now and taste overly sweet. The salsa is authentic and packs heat. The staff is attentive and quick, though weekends get very crowded and loud. Some diners report the flavors were off, like the tostada ceviches tasting like perfume. The waitress was pleasant but overwhelmed due to lack of help. Overall, El Barco Mariscos remains a nice spot for dinner, but diners should be picky on mixed drinks and prepared for a potentially uneven dining experience.
