    Fish taco
    Lauren K.

    This was a nice little find for something different! I'm a lover of seafood so I was pretty excited to try a few things. We stopped in here on our way to the Cinemark movie theatre to eat before our show. It was a Friday evening and they had live music. Loved that's aspect! We were seated immediately by the friendly hostess. I wasn't incredibly hungry so I settled on two tacos. One shrimp and the other fish. The fish taco was fried fish, it was lightly battered and fried perfectly. Not dry at all. I wish they offered a grilled fish taco version though. The shrimp taco was my favorite! Loved the sauce they had on it. Tacos also came with two side sauces that were delicious. Lastly, I had a margarita while I awaited my food. It took a bit for them to make the drink, but it was so good! Definitely had a flavorful homemade flavor. Can't wait to come back!

    It took me a minute to find this restaurant on Yelp. Is it called El Barco? Mariscos El BarCo? It only has a few reviews and this is probably why. This is a casual family-owned Mexican Seafood Restaurant that offers quite a variety of options. The prices are also very reasonable. We started by ordering the Shrimp Empanadas. They were so good. Loved the sauce, it compliments them perfectly. Next I had the Fish Tacos. Also really good. I made the mistake of ordering a side of rice. It was a huge serving and not needed. My only complaint is the service not being consistent. Initially, it was really good, but once we got our food, there wasn't much follow-up. If you've never had Mexican style Seafood, come check it out.

    Please correct the restaurant's name. The correct name is Mariscos El Barco. I ordered two shrimp empanadas and the shrimp fajitas. The fajitas portion was huge. I didn't count but it came with at least 15 shrimp. It also included a side of white rice and a house salad. Everything was delicious! The service was non-stop until everything was served. I would have given them 5 stars if they had continued their great service as I wanted a glass of wine after I started eating, but never had the opportunity to order it. This is a great Mexican food place. Please visit them.

    We went on a Friday for dinner and we're pleasantly surprised and pleased by the live music. The restaurant was clean and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. The ceviche was fresh and very tasty. I also ordered a margarita which tasted better than many other places I have ordered for the same price. I would certainly recommend this restaurant.

    Michelada was ice cold, and the Aguachile was delicious! Will be back to explore the menu ;)

    My fiancé and I visited this restraunt atleast once a month. The food is always impeccable and very tasty. We very much enjoy the staff and the atmosphere as its family friendly and fun. Anything you order on the menu is always prepared to our 100% satisfaction. We do have food restrictions and they're always accommodating and helpful.

    I love this place! I…read morehave lunch here at least every other week, service is good and food is fantastic! The student special is cheaper than food on campus and the quality is much better.

    Rarely do I write a review after just 1 visit, but I'm making an exception for this little gem!…read more I've known of this place for years, but never stopped in before. I was glad that I did finally drop in. Located in a little strip mall on Valley Road, it's an unassuming place from the outside. The inside is small, but comfortable and it felt very "homey". When I walked in, the first thing that hit me was the smell of delicious food wafting through the air. The tastes did not disappoint. We were greeted and sat promptly by a personable young man that brought us water. The owner then brought us our drinks...a margarita for my dining companion and a Mandarin Jarritos for me. My sip of the margarita tasted amazing! Great balance and flavor. We also received a basket of chips and salsa. You could tell that they were made fresh to order. The chips were crispy and hot. The salsa was outstanding...fresh cilantro...balanced combination of flavors with a nice, subtle kick of spiciness at the back end. Not too spicy...just right. I usually have to ask for something hotter...not in this case. The food was amazing! My dining companion ordered the Chile Relleno plate and I got the Molcajete. The prices are outstanding and the amount of food? Huge plates! My Molcajete was sizzling hot and overflowing with chicken, beef, shrimp, nopales and ground beef mixed with veggies. A large plate of refried beans and spanish rice also accompanied this presentation. Fresh, hot, delicious corn tortillas rounded out each of our orders. We were also given a couple of squeeze bottles of sauces...green and red...to add to our meals if we wanted. Freshly made and the bottles were presented in a plastic tub filled with ice to keep them cold. Great addition to the already amazing food! There's also a nice selection of Mexican hot sauces on the table for you to choose from. We both took to-go boxes...so much food! Mine lasted for 2 more meals! I plan to return on a regular basis...this is now one of my favorite local places for great Mexican food. As always, I suggest that you visit to see what YOU think...

Our other…read moreexperience wasn't great, but we've been back several times since then, and they've completely redeemed themselves. The service has been consistently friendly, and the food has been amazing every time. It's actually becoming one of our go-to spots when we're craving Mexican food. As someone who's used to Southern California Mexican food, I usually find a lot of the Mexican restaurants in Reno to be a bit bland. Chihuahuas is one of the few places I've found that has those bold, authentic flavors and reminds me of home. We're really glad we gave them another chance!

We got right in and I asked to sit at the bar right in front of the tv. The staff were super friendly and the bartenders chatted with us the whole time while also enjoying the fight themselves in between making their drinks. The food was super delicious. We ordered Aguachile (really good but super sour), pineapple jalapeño wings (too sweet and not my fave), ribeye chicharron........be prepared to cough and have the people sitting near you cough non stop lol. It was spicy and a bit dry but good. My favorite was the roasted bone marrow with garlic bread. Insanely good. We had a great time and will definitely be back.

    I've been to (almost*) every Mexican restaurant in Reno and this is the one I keep coming back to…read moreand keep recommending. The torta ahogada with the carnitas is a culinary delight! The bread is somehow soaked in a sauce but still crunchy just beneath the sauce, and springy/chewy in the middle. The flavors are rich and amazing. Finally you can add the spicy hot sauce if you want and you will be sweating bullets but happy about it at the same time. I also love the tacos de canasta as a fun and delicious appetizer. The food is always comes out super fast, and I leave super happy. The only gotchas are that only some of the staff speaks English so be ready for that, and that they have live music at night on the weekends, and it tends to get a little loud in the building. *I haven't been to 1 in Reno yet because it's hasn't been open the 3 times I've tried, and I haven't been to all the places in the valleys yet.

    Coming from SoCal, so far this is the best Mexican restaurant we found in Reno. We tried a few…read moreothers but they didn't measure up to this place. Here they serve free chips and salsa and they make homemade tortillas. The ceviche and shrimp cocktails are delicious. The carne asada and carnitas is also delicious. I had the aguachile was refreshing and had a good level of spice. Their agua frescos were also clean and refreshing. The restaurant was spacious and clean. The service was good even with a full restaurant one time we went.
