El Barco Mexican Restaurant - Columbus

The seafood at this restaurant is always excellent and fresh. Oysters are my favorite, and I love enjoying them with my friends.

The food I tried was quite good, with plenty of fish and seafood options available. I would have liked to see some classic Mexican dishes on the menu, but there were still many choices to consider. However, I did notice a strong smell of cleaning solution near our table. I may have overlooked it, but I couldn't find the drinks listed on the menu.

I had a wonderful surprise at this restaurant in West Columbus! They offer a variety of seafood dishes that are not commonly found in Mexican restaurants. I tried the oysters, fried mojarra, and pork, and everything was fantastic! The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and the server was very friendly. Definitely worth a visit!

We were often here and always had great food. I ordered a steak fajita and was very satisfied with the size of the portion. the only disappointment was that I needed more than the three small tortillas that were provided, and that our server did not check in with us to order more. many seafood options available.

Spare yourself the unnecessary wait. I waited 45 minutes for staff just to acknowledge that we were even there sitting at the table. No one ever came to our table. People came in after us and received chips and salsa and drinks immediately. I had my 2 year old and my husband. My 2 year old was being fussy because she was hungry and I was wearing a bright pink hat and outfit because its my birthday outfit that said happy birthday on the hat with unicorns. so there's no way they didn't see me or hear my daughter. 45 minute wait at the table is unacceptable especially if you're not busy . It's a shame because the food is so good there but I'm never coming back. The general manager Robert was very nice and tried to smooth it over but what can you really say when your entire staff ignored us and we were sitting smack dab in the middle of the dinning room. We went to el vaquero instead. Received prompt , good service and delicious food?? bye bye el barco
