"El Barco is an absolute gem of a seafood restaurant! The moment you walk in, you're hit with the freshest ocean vibes and a menu that'll make your taste buds swim with excitement. The seafood is ridiculously fresh, and the portions are HUGE! I had the grilled shrimp, and it was perfection. The service is top-notch, too - friendly and attentive staff who know their stuff. If you're craving seafood, El Barco is the spot. Can't recommend it enough!" 🌊🐟 The sushie was a great plus as an option to have and their drink selection was awesome

My wife and I have come here a few times. This trip the entire menu was redesigned and I believe they're going by a new name. Something bar & grill. They did seafood boils before, but it seems they've changed lanes a bit. Regardless, if you like Latino food, this place has a wide variety, and it's all very good and reasonably priced. Also, they made their own corn tortillas. Small touch I really enjoyed.

★★★★★ 5.0 Amanda The Traveler · Jun 2024

The food was amazing! The vibes where immaculate. If you're in the mood for fresh and I mean FRESH seafood , change it up a bit and try this place. Good flavors, chips and salsa? Not here. Instead, you get fresh ceviche, it's bright and refreshing and is a perfect starter to prepare you for the absolute feast you will be presented with. From beginning to end every part of the meal just hit! I highly recommend checking out this place if you haven't already!

Food was delicious, Walter and Keila were very attentive. We drove hour and a half to eat there and worth it! Thank you so much for your service and attention and of course the great fresh, flavored food! And the Tamarind mojito was the best!
