El Barco Back Bay
About
El Barco Back Bay serves what it calls Mexican soul food: comforting, flavorful dishes built around tacos, ceviches and handcrafted tequila. Tortillas are hand-pressed, carnitas are slow-braised and guacamole is made tableside, while margaritas are made with fresh citrus every time. The tequila list starts at more than 100 bottles, and the restaurant bills its bar as always ready for a fiesta.
The restaurant grew out of a passion for Latin flavors and began on Martha’s Vineyard, where the original El Barco overlooks the harbor in Vineyard Haven from the historic Old Stone Bank property and captures the feel of island life. The Back Bay location brings that energy to the city, with a happy hour during the week and a festive weekend scene, and it takes bookings for parties and celebrations.
