    This place was really packed on a Sunday. Seemed like a delicious place to eat and prices looked ok. I went with my family, and they did not have any vegetarian or vegan dishes to accommodate me, since I'm vegan. My family wanted to order the V ceviche they only offer on Sundays. Yesterday when we went was a Sunday, and they happened to not have it. They ended up ordering the fried fish with rice and avocados with a side of patacones. My mom SPECIFICALLY asked the server if the dish comes with avocados. He said yes. The picture also shows the plate as it should come. The plate came, no avocado. My mom asked the server and the server said he would ask the chef what happened. He came back and supposedly the dish does not come with avocados. My mom said she even asked him? He said he was incorrect, however, my mom said that that's not right if the picture shows it, so she asked for the manager. The MANAGER had to come out and told us to our face that the pictures "unfortunately" do not represent how the food actually comes ??? what????? She said she wants her avocado just like it comes I. The picture because what is the big deal?? She even asked the server. Side note, the picture also doesn't indicate it came with patacones, that's WHY my mom ordered a side of them. But on the dish replaced that for the avocados, so my mom had double patacones for no reason. Once the manager left, the server came by and my mom asked for lemons, because the dish lacked flavor. He was clearly overwhelmed with the amount of customers in the restaurant because she had to ask 3 more times. We really waited over 10 minutes to get a lemon wedge and once the avocado came my mom ate it and we stood up to pay. The bill? 20€. Wow. Unbelievable for this service. Would not recommend.

    We found this restaurant through Google Maps because it wasn't a far walk from our hotel and it had…read morea massive amount of high ratings. Another plus was that it's open late and we are late eaters that found ourselves looking for a place that was open at 9:30pm. Feeling a little skeptical of all the high ratings, we decided to try it out and see for ourselves. I have to say, what the masses say is true. This place is amazing. We had Moises as our waiter and he was a huge part on why we decided to come back again on our last night in Barcelona. His customer service was outstanding and we loved his laid back vibe. If you go, ask for Moises! We ordered the ceviche, some combination plates, and the mixed fried rice. As others have mentioned, the portions are BIG. There was a lot of prawns and tuna in the ceviche and it had great flavor. My dish was the fried bream with the avocado salad. We all agreed that the avocado salad was amazing. Lots and lots of avocado and it was a refreshing way to start the meal. The fish came out steaming hot and perfectly cooked. We all shared the mixed fried rice and devoured as much as we could. Except we were so full. What an amazing meal that we were so lucky to have experienced TWICE in our short time in Barcelona. We are definitely coming back the next time we find ourselves in this beautiful city.

Here, the "buns" of the arepas are dyed colored coded to go with the specific mix you order. Sifrina = bright magenta pink sandwich pocket. Pretty freaking sweet! Wanted to point out Venezuela has its own unique version of guacamole, affectionately called Guasacaca. El Rincon carries on this tradition, and I'm so glad I was able to experience it. I met the owner, one of the very few workers that spoke English, and he explained the make up of this tasty condiment - onion, cilantro, green pepper, salt, garlic, avocado, a little bit of olive oil, and vinegar. EXCELLENT atop my arepa! The entire sandwich melded perfectly, sweet, salty and savory in every bite. The owner gentleman did a great job checking in, the service was fast and efficient, and I never felt rushed. I was really digging the vibe of this eatery, as it seemed to be a true neighborhood spot. All the locals inside, none of the touristy appeal. I recommend if you like Venezuelan food to give this restaurant a try!
