Food: Unappetizing food, unjustifiable price
La Barca's Birria Tacos, fried Quesadilla, and Shrimp Tostadas could impress you with their ample portions but they're marred by two critical setbacks - blandness and high price. The lack of creativity in the dishes is distressing to many customers. Despite the freshness of the food, the shrimps came with tails which was off-putting for many. High prices don't quite marry up with the lackluster taste, leaving a disappointing aftertaste.
Large Portions
Generous, ample portions frequently provide leftovers for another meal.
Okay Quality
Food is fresh and varied, though shrimp tails removal was lacking.
Bad Variety
Limited and bland menu options do not justify the high prices.
Top 3 dishes at La Barca
- 1
Birria Tacos 🏆
Authentic, reminiscent of guadalajara's birria, with delicious spice levels.
- 2
Quesadilla
The fried quesadillas are consistently described as amazing or god sent.
- 3
Carne Asada Plate
Fresh, tender, and well-seasoned carne asada delights customers.
Vibe: Pleasing decor but a confusing setting
Modern decor and a charming skylight window ceiling can't quite compensate for the overcrowded, noisy atmosphere. An intimate date might be a challenge amidst their loud surroundings. Drink enthusiasts may be let down by their limited selection of cocktails, which add up to the overall poor drink quality. The buzz isn't as amusing due to the lack of entertainment.
Great Ambiance
Modern decor and ambiance enhance dining experience, widely appreciated
Bad Drinks
Drinks overpriced, weak cocktails, limited selection, poor drink quality.
Perks: Unreliable service mars convenience
Despite providing ample parking and accommodation for large groups, La Barca stumbles when it comes to service. Unprofessionalism, slowness, and neglectfulness become thorns in your enjoyable dining. The dietary options are a huge disappointment, with confusing message being delivered for vegan criteria. The restaurant isn't a favorable spot for kids either.
Great For Groups
Accommodates large parties efficiently with ample space and good service.
Okay Outdoor
Outdoor seating is well-equipped with tents and heating, though spacing varies.
Bad For Kids
Condescending management, poor customer service, not kid-friendly atmosphere noted.
