Casa Del Barco - Canal Walk

Really nice looking, inside and out...and a great location next to the canal! Went for lunch and it was very delicious. There are a few cost items to note: no free chips and salsa like many restaurants, and the portions are normal meal sized, nothing hanging off each side of the plate. But that said, the pricing isn't outrageous, and the quality of food is excellent. I got the Baja fish burrito and it was polite, neat, and very tasty. Service was very good, and clean bathrooms!! 👌

My family and I kicked off the holidays w/ Tinsel & Tequila and everything was awesome! No one had a complaint about the food, service or drinks! You can't go wrong with the Empandas and the Avocado caesar salad! It was our 1st time, so the lack of parking was a surprise. Thankfully, the great experience over shadowed ALL of that!

Had a bit of a wait late on a Saturday afternoon and then got put in a corner booth with the table and benches in a fixed position with one side of the booth being extremely narrow. I am a pretty small person and it was tight even for me. Liked the chips and salsa even if they weren’t complimentary Iike many Mexican restaurants. I ordered a few different types of tacos and a salad. They were good, but not great. The location of the restaurant on the canal was really cool. They let us know when they seated us that we’d have a 20% service fee added to our tab in lieu of a tip beforehand which I thought was strange for a party of two. Service was maybe average at best though so maybe that was smart on their part. Would maybe go back, but would probably research other options first.

This place is definitely very hip and fun! I will say it seems a tad overpriced BUT the food is great. It’s the first Mexican style restaurant I’ve gone to that didn’t bring chips and salsa to the table for free! Tip is already included but they’re very honest about letting you know that upfront and again when you pay.

Pretty awesome location. Food and cocktails were a delight after a Sunday morning walk. We had the 3 amigos and fish tacos. Both delicious. Alex our server was very friendly and professional. The only problem I had with this establishment was the service fee. They are basically admitting that in order to have professional staff, that is paid a competitive rate, the customer needs to supplement their wage through a service fee. They even have the gall to ask for an additional tip on top of the service fee. I've seen this in massive tourist spots like Miami where foreigners don't know about the "Tip culture" but from my experience it's a way to get double tips.

We walked in on a Sunday afternoon for drinks and appetizers and practically had the place to ourselves. My family had come into town to surprise me for my birthday. I thought this would be a great place to just sit, talk, and enjoy some drinks and appetizers. And Casa Del Barco did not disappoint. Our food was delicious. We had a variety of appetizers that included street corn, nachos, chicken empanadas, chips and salsa, queso. Yeah, we had a lot! and it was all delicious. My sisters/brothers know their margaritas and they did not complain about the ones they had here so they must have been pretty good. Our wait staff was super friendly and attentive. Wouldn't hesitate to go back for a minute. Thanks CASA! Sorry I don't have pics of the food; I guess we were so busy enjoying it.
