Outstanding service and excellent food! Cesar went above and beyond to make our dining experience enjoyable. His attention to detail and warm attitude made a big difference. Highly recommend both the restaurant and Cesar for exceptional service.

I visited El Barco and loved it. Nadya took excellent care of us. She was fast, attentive, and very friendly. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great. I can’t wait to come back!

I had really been excited to try this place for a while. Today was the day, I finally went, and was truly disappointed. The food looked ok, and the drinks look amazing. Unfortunately neither of them were any good. The prices were definitely way overpriced for the food and drinks being so unsavory. I will definitely will not be returning, or recommending this place to anyone.

My first visit was amazing as I sat at the bar with my cousin and enjoyed appetizers and drinks. We were served on by Jose and Antonio, which both dudes deserve 5 stars across the board! Unfortunately on my second visit with my wife, it was a disappointing experience. On Saturday February 24th around dinnertime we were seated directly behind the dancefloor where the mariachi never played due to delays. Our female server was nowhere to be found after taking our order. After receiving our food, I waited about 45 minutes before finally waiving her over to bring our check. Once the bill was paid for I asked for a refill on my soda, to my surprise she stated that she would need to charge me for an additional soda. I was perplexed as I had just been waiting for a refill to enjoy with my dinner,

Worse shrimp cocktail I’ve ever had It was really disgusting It tasted like someone threw a gallon of lemons juice and Clamato in a bowl and called it a day I’m never ever ever ever coming back to eat here….
