El Barco - Chicago

We got oysters, shrimp ceviche, and fajitas. Definitely satisfied my seafood craving.Everything tasted better than expected and nothing was overly salty, which tends to happen with seafood.Had to get a frozen marg since it seemed every table had at least one. It was a good idea to order one for the two of us considering we wanted a chill night, though it was enough to get us buzzed!Music is a lil loud, but makes the space feel super festive.Will be back!

The services was excellent, never had to wait on them. The food was good, but the micheladas were amazing! I recommend trying them. That's probably the main reason I like stopping by when I'm close.Food: 4/5

Good presentation on the food, good taste. But found a hair on my food. Shrimp was already butterfly cut but not clean. Shrimp Empanadas taste like they were old and had a nasty fishy taste. Bathrooms smell horribly nasty I had to catch my breath while doing #1 Also over pricedFood: 2/5

Nothing like a pitcher of margaritas on a hot summer down for a nice cool down. The steak and shrimp fajitas were fantastic, and we loved all the veggies that came with. I've never had shrimp quesadillas before but I'll be back for more of these!Food: 5/5

My parents used to love coming to this place years ago, we went for my mom's birthday but the experience was disapointing. Waitresses were nice and attentive but the quality of the food has gone down, piña coladas didn't have any taste to them. Rice and beans had this odd after taste. If you want seafood, you'll be more satisfied going to other locations, we wished we picked another restaurant for the occassion.
