“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.

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!

I drove my best friend and her kids here for her birthday last night from culpeper as this was where she asked to eat at.
As soon as we got in it was crowded, full of people so we expected to have to wait to be seated. Thankfully, they were able to get us seated relatively quickly. My friends daughter mentioned to the staff that we were here for her mother’s birthday and asked them to sing to her. They agreed to do so later. Once seated, Our waiter took our drink orders then took our food order after delivering the drinks. And that was the last we saw of him. Other staff dropped off our food which didn’t come out at the same time and was cold. The food was mediocre at best.
We needed drinks refilled but couldn’t find our waiter. Over 45 minutes passed and no one came by. My friends daughter located the waiter again and reminded him we were here to celebrate her moms birthday and requested they sing, they said they’d be right out, but no one ever came.
A staff member came by to take the menu we had at the table still (because we knew we’d be ordering more)
I handed them to her and asked her to get our waiter, i explained it’s been over 45 minutes since he’d stopped by. She asked us to point him out and we did. About 5 minutes later, i decided to start a timer to see if the waiter would come. 15 minutes later, and he had not. We flagged down an older, heavier set woman working there with blonde hair, and mentioned we still had not been helped. At this point the restaurant has begun to close and there are not many customers remaining.
She asked if she could clear the plates and we said yes, she asked if there was anything else, and the birthday girl asked for another drink.
After waiting another 10 minutes with no drink, we decided it was time to go.
We had to walk up to the bar (since no one was attending us) to ask to pay.
I I took this opportunity to tell them that the service was horrible. The birthday girl also mentioned that it was terrible service. The blonde woman smiled and apologized, and that was it. I reminded her that we had been waiting 45 minutes before another. One of their staff members only came by to collect the menus and I asked for help and still no one came by. Then we had to flag her down for help and we still didn’t get our drink. She smiled and apologized as She handed me the check. The waiter the came to try say he was busy, I turned to remind him we waited over an hour and then said it doesn’t even matter.
I paid it and walked out. Food was sub par but service made this a dumpster fire

Outside seating is nice. I Ordered a Texacono margarita it’s so sweet the sugar burns my throat. Not a drop of tequila in it. Fajitas three ways. No spice & dried out old corn tortillas. The waitress doesn’t speak English an doesn’t know what Americans call salsa. She said no only hot sauce red and green. I’ll take pico de gallo if she comes back. I would not recommend eating here. Most expensive Mexican restaurant in Virginia. And not worth it.

Had a great time with some good pals here. My buddy “mando” even came. Lovely ales, lovely music, lovely atmosphere. Recommend to anyone in the Charlottesville area. The disc jockey knows what the people want!

This restaurant is amazing & I counted it as much an experience as our day at Monticello. Our daughter wanted fresh oysters & we had great salmon, melt in your mouth bass, & steak. Our waitress & our daughter conversed in Spanish & we had such fun with her. The decor is so colorful- beautiful huge light fixtures & colorful chairs & tables, but best was the friendly staff. I highly recommend this place if you’re adventurous!

There is a seafood menu and traditional Mexican menu. Everything we ordered was delicious. We really enjoyed the traditional Mexican food. There wasn’t a kids menu but they offered pizza (frozen red baron) or chicken nuggets.
