My husband, myself, and my twin grandkids came for lunch. We were assisted immediately by a lovely and bubbly waitress. I had a chimichanga with rice and beans. It was delicious. I don’t normally eat rice, but I almost ate it all. My husband had the burrito fajita and a beef tamale and devoured it all. I was able to get one bite of his tamale and it was, wow, I will be returning to this establishment. Thank you for the awesome service and the delicious food.

Great portion sizes and fast service! I went for lunch and received my lunch fajitas within minutes! It came with plenty of meat and veggies and two full sides for half the price!

I knew this place was special when I had their chips and salsa. I’ve never had salsa that good. I ordered the Chile Colorado. I always do. I can tell a lot about a restaurant when I get it. Most places don’t even make it. Super happy.

We’ve been waiting with excitement for El Barco to open just down the street from where we live. We saw they were open today and stopped for lunch! I had the shrimp ceviche and it was delicious. My husband had a burrito that he enjoyed very much. Margarita was fantastic! Really like how they decorated and the menu is extensive- already planning what I’ll have next time!

I was looking forward to trying this spot, the environment was very clean and well decorated I’ll say.. the food took nearly an hour. we ordered first but were served near last, when we only ordered simple items. Soda was overpriced, $3.50. and my cheese enchilada was filled with queso cheese which is a questionable choice. beef in taco was not seasoned at all. threw it all away.
