Review Casa Del Barco - Canal Walk - Richmond

Jason Murnock
Really nice looking, inside and out...and a great location next to the canal! Went for lunch and it was very delicious. There are a few cost items to note: no free chips and salsa like many restaurants, and the portions are normal meal sized, nothing hanging off each side of the plate. But that said, the pricing isn't outrageous, and the quality of food is excellent. I got the Baja fish burrito and it was polite, neat, and very tasty. Service was very good, and clean bathrooms!! 👌

Pretty awesome location. Food and cocktails were a delight after a Sunday morning walk. We had the 3 amigos and fish tacos. Both delicious. Alex our server was very friendly and professional. The only problem I had with this establishment was the service fee. They are basically admitting that in order to have professional staff, that is paid a competitive rate, the customer needs to supplement their wage through a service fee. They even have the gall to ask for an additional tip on top of the service fee. I've seen this in massive tourist spots like Miami where foreigners don't know about the "Tip culture" but from my experience it's a way to get double tips.

This place is definitely very hip and fun! I will say it seems a tad overpriced BUT the food is great. It’s the first Mexican style restaurant I’ve gone to that didn’t bring chips and salsa to the table for free! Tip is already included but they’re very honest about letting you know that upfront and again when you pay.

My family and I kicked off the holidays w/ Tinsel & Tequila and everything was awesome! No one had a complaint about the food, service or drinks! You can't go wrong with the Empandas and the Avocado caesar salad! It was our 1st time, so the lack of parking was a surprise. Thankfully, the great experience over shadowed ALL of that!

We had the chicken crunch burrito and chicken tacos. The shredded chicken was good in both and they have a bit of heat (not too much). Overall good dinner and cool atmosphere

We walked in on a Sunday afternoon for drinks and appetizers and practically had the place to ourselves. My family had come into town to surprise me for my birthday. I thought this would be a great place to just sit, talk, and enjoy some drinks and appetizers. And Casa Del Barco did not disappoint. Our food was delicious. We had a variety of appetizers that included street corn, nachos, chicken empanadas, chips and salsa, queso. Yeah, we had a lot! and it was all delicious. My sisters/brothers know their margaritas and they did not complain about the ones they had here so they must have been pretty good. Our wait staff was super friendly and attentive. Wouldn't hesitate to go back for a minute. Thanks CASA! Sorry I don't have pics of the food; I guess we were so busy enjoying it.

I’m usually hesitant to go to any “mexican” restaurant outside of Mexico, New Mexico, Cali, Texas, & a few other states! BUTTTTTT…… LEMME TELL YOU ABOUT THIS ONE! The food & atmosphere, phenomenal 🤌🏼 We went around 5 or 6pm like right after HH.. :/ & it started getting busier & busier by the minute (this was a Tuesday 😳) we were estimated a wait for a table for 25 minutes. turned into about 1 hour. I think they are short staffed. This place was poppin though. The all you can eat Chips & salsa, delicious (salsa could use a little more cilantro though) I also got the crunchy burrito A MUST 👌🏼🤤. We also got the non alcoholic drink with Ginger beer, lime, & something else. absolutely amazing 😮‍💨 (usually N.A. drinks are 🗑️🥴.) We also got the Churros and let me tell you I search HIGH & LOW for amazing churros & these are just as good as Disneylands (which are my FAVORITE btw) which I always try to find churros that are the same as Disneylands & I can’t ever find them. These are now my 2nd favorite churros! Anyways these churros are just magnificent with chocolate inside with a scoop of ice cream & lots of whipping cream 😋! Sarah our server was wonderful. She seemed like she was in the weeds though but she did the best she could!

During January 2023 after the recent launch of the brunch menu and service at Casa Del Barco, they were offering 50% off the entire menu for the first hour of service which got us interested enough to come back in. We had been several times for dinner a few years back but it had been a while. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality and quantity of the food we ordered. The items we ordered were thoughtfully composed and well executed. The flavors of each ingredient on the dishes worked well with one another and left us without a single complaint. Everything was well seasoned and presented as well. I will say that I was a little skeptical of french toast at a mexican brunch but it was incredibly flavorful and wonderfully airy in texture. For us it made for a great side dish but it could easily satisfy the light eater or hungry child in your party. I plan to return to check out the brunch omelette as it was highly recommended by our server! 5/5 dining experience today!

I have eaten here a few times now, and will go back. The drinks are delicious especially the margaritas. Food is fresh and not greasy not all. Fajitas are sizzling, and chips are crispy . The service is a little slow but everyone was friendly.

the rice and bean bowl with the fajita chicken was absolutely amazing. the código anejo to sip on along side of it was even better. Amari the bartender is the literal best

Dog friendly patio!💗 I’ve come here twice, once with friend’s dogs, and once with mine. Both experiences were very sweet, delicious and accommodating. The pomegranate Tajin salt margarita is worth every penny.
Brian Stanton
We came in for a margarita and Javier & Amari made the best margaritas in the US. These tasted as if we were in Mexico. The queso has just enough of a kick to be perfect. I’ll definitely go to this place again
Ben Fitchett
We stopped by to see if we could do a Tequila tasting, and Javier absolutely exceeded all of our expectations. He was engaging and knowledgeable, and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I would recommend a Tequila tasting with Javier to anyone, even if you think that you don't like Tequila!

The restaurant is alone the canal walk. A lot of tourist spot near by. The mushroom taco is definitely not normally being seen on other Mexican restaurant. Give it a try you will like it.

Had a bit of a wait late on a Saturday afternoon and then got put in a corner booth with the table and benches in a fixed position with one side of the booth being extremely narrow. I am a pretty small person and it was tight even for me. Liked the chips and salsa even if they weren’t complimentary Iike many Mexican restaurants. I ordered a few different types of tacos and a salad. They were good, but not great. The location of the restaurant on the canal was really cool. They let us know when they seated us that we’d have a 20% service fee added to our tab in lieu of a tip beforehand which I thought was strange for a party of two. Service was maybe average at best though so maybe that was smart on their part. Would maybe go back, but would probably research other options first.
