Why go off-roading in the Barrens when Camden's right across the river? Be sure to take pockmarked…read moreand cratered River Avenue, bypassing valleys of decayed industrial might, passing hills of bustling auto shops until your Civic reaches the corner shop, beside the old ice house, with the wide window lit with neon and the awning colored the red white and blue of Puerto Rico and listing half a dozen fine entrees. Is this Camden's version of El Barrio? The space has nothing homey about it, it's just a big room full of cheap-cushioned chairs and different-sized tables. The steam table is the main attraction, massive and brooding, a stainless steel ENIAC, its slots filled with Hispanic stews, starches and staples we have grown to know and love. Primarily take-out, the steady flow of customers provides a nice slice o' South Jersey livin': you got the mechanic, the mail man, the construction worker - surprised to see no cops, but every man for himself and god against all in Camden, NJ! And the food's as hearty and wholesome (and sometimes even a little 'over-proportioned') as El Borinqueno's customers. Order the pollo a brasa and the stout grandma behind the counter takes a serrated blade to a bronzed chicken, tanning in a bin with her girlfriends, cleaving off a Fred Flintstone mallet of moist leg and thigh covered in a light spice rub. The same blade makes a special guest appearance when one orders the roast pork, wherein the stout grandma nonchalantly hacks sizeable hunks of flesh off a massive pork wad. The pork looks and tastes great, with a golden, crisped skin shielding the glistening layer of fat covering the bashful white meat. The skin's the best part - a moist snap crackle pop of pig, not burnt but "cooked to perfection". All meats come with a side of thick red beans and a choice of starch - fluffy white rice, salty yellow rice sprinkled with a shower of tiny pigeon peas and green peppers, and some sort of fried-looking rice. But, I'm just mad about saffron - there's nothing like yellow rice cooked right! I surely don't have the acumen or the patience for it, but someone here definitely earned her chops. Be sure to flood every item on your plate with lots of garlic sauce and vinegary hot sauce. Obviously, the restaurant isn't South Beach Diet certified, and I'd avoid the beach if I ate here too often. You can even order deep fried empanadas for a "snack" - they're okay, a wide variety (pizza, cheesesteak, chicken, shrimp, beef). The beef empanada is stuffed with a beefy paste tasting like bolognese. Which is pretty decent, and worth wearing that tread mill out for!

The passion fruit and piña colada drinks were so refreshing and honestly made us feel like we were back on the island. Definitely recommend checking out La Cocina if you're in the Pennsauken/South Jersey area. Great food, great value, and we'll absolutely be back!

Such a surprisingly pleasant little cafe-style Spanish restaurant! My friend and I came here for…read moredinner for a girls' night and both got the $35 tasting menu. I was expecting a decent amount of food, but this was SO much food for a tasting menu. We couldn't even finish everything. The tasting menu came with 6 different dishes, so it was a really fun way to try a bunch of things. First were the boquerones in olive oil with bread. The anchovies were fresh tasting and pleasantly briny without being overwhelmingly fishy. And they give you SO much olive oil. They also brought us more bread, which was honestly perfect because I was absolutely going to use that bread to soak up every last drop of the olive oil. Then came the garlic and tomato topped baguette. Simple but really good. The garlic and tomato gave the bread a ton of flavor without being too heavy. The fried potatoes were another favorite. Crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy inside, and just really satisfying. Definitely the kind of thing you keep reaching for even after you've told yourself you're full. The jamón croquetas were delicious too. Crispy golden outside with that creamy, savory filling inside and little bits of jamón throughout. Rich, but in a good way. Then we had the shrimp in garlic. This wasn't really a sauce situation, but more of the shrimp sitting in all that garlicky, flavorful oil. The shrimp were tender and the garlic-infused oil was basically begging to be eaten with bread. Which, obviously, we did. For dessert, my friend got the rice pudding and I got the flan. The rice pudding was VERY fall to me. Creamy, comforting, and full of cinnamon, with that warm spiced flavor that makes you want to eat it while wearing a sweater. My flan was perfect. Smooth, creamy, delicate, and not overly sweet. Just the right amount of caramel flavor. Honestly, the amount of food was kind of ridiculous for $35. Six dishes plus dessert, and everything felt fresh and flavorful. There was also a really nice variety, so it never felt like we were just eating six versions of the same thing. The restaurant itself is also PERFECT for pictures. Everything is so thoughtfully decorated, from the walls to all the little details around the space. My friend and I definitely took a bunch of pictures because we couldn't resist. The staff were incredibly kind and accommodating, and service was surprisingly fast. They were also generous with the bread, which I appreciated because, again, I needed that bread for the olive oil situation. And it's BYOB! So if you want alcohol with dinner, you can just bring whatever you actually want instead of being limited to a restaurant drink menu. Overall, this was such a lovely girls' night dinner. Fresh food, lots of flavor, a really nice variety, generous portions, beautiful atmosphere, friendly staff, and a price that felt very reasonable for how much food we got. 10/10 recommend. I honestly wasn't expecting to like it this much, but this was a really enjoyable meal from beginning to end. Definitely coming back.

I also had an uncomfortable interaction with the bartender. When I asked for another drink, he served my friend but did not give me one because I still had a few sips left in my glass. When I made a comment to my friend about it, he said, "Not until you finish yours." I've never encountered that before, and I was confused because my drink was almost finished and it was only my first one. If there was a policy preventing him from serving me until I finished my drink, he could have explained that to me beforehand. Instead, he served my friend and left me awkwardly waiting without explaining anything. The way it was handled felt strange and unnecessary. It's disappointing because we enjoyed parts of the experience, but these issues left us with a different impression of the restaurant. I hope you'll look into them.

Sure, there has been the occasional hiccup here and there, but that's simply the reality of the service industry. What matters is that the overall experience has been consistently excellent, and over time I've come to know and appreciate many members of your team. My most recent visit, however, reminded me exactly why I keep coming back and fully reaffirmed my ongoing state of Barcelona Bliss. I recently made reservations for myself and a friend to celebrate his birthday. Wanting to guarantee a great evening, there was really only one choice: Barcelona. As an added bonus, I had attended UNCORKED and was fortunate enough to win an extra prize along with my free tapas button: a $100 credit toward a bottle of wine. From the moment we walked through the door, the evening was off to a great start. We were greeted by Elliot, my favorite person at Barcelona. I've always found him to be welcoming, attentive, personable, and genuinely funny. In fact, he was one of the original reasons we became regulars. When he first served us, he combined exceptional service with an engaging personality that made every visit feel special. As always, he was on top of everything and even made a point of wishing my friend a happy birthday. I could spend pages describing the food, service, and atmosphere, but I'll spare you my rambling. Suffice it to say, the evening was exceptional. Every member of the team seemed committed to making sure we had a memorable experience. Whether it was the thoughtful suggestion to combine our table with another when our growing collection of tapas and wine began to outgrow the available real estate, the delightful sommelier, a funny and attentive blonde woman whose name I unfortunately can't remember, who guided us to the perfect bottle, or our server, who never missed a beat and seemed to anticipate every need before we could ask, every member of the team contributed to making the evening truly special. The 2024 Gessamí was an inspired recommendation and undoubtedly one of the highlights of the night. Fragrant and beautifully balanced, with notes of jasmine, citrus, and ripe stone fruit, it was vibrant, refreshing, and paired wonderfully with our seemingly endless parade of tapas. The entire experience was lovely, fun, memorable, and genuinely impressive. While I unfortunately can't remember the names of either the sommelier or our server, that is in no way a reflection of their service. If anything, it simply highlights the shortcomings of my memory. Their attentiveness, professionalism, warmth, and contributions to the evening certainly did not go unnoticed and are greatly appreciated. This visit reminded me exactly why Barcelona has become such a favorite destination. Time and again, you deliver the perfect combination of outstanding food, exceptional wine, genuine hospitality, and an atmosphere that somehow feels both exciting and comfortable at the same time. While Barcelona Wine Bar is certainly a great name, in my mind it will always be known as my Barcelona Bliss.

We sat outside, and I actually never even saw the inside of the restaurant, but outside is great if you like people watching and the weather is nice. We had a lot of questions, and our server was super helpful and patient, and even went so far as to mark all the vegan options on the menu for me so that I knew exactly what I could order. The food came and it was fine. Nothing to complain about, but nothing overly remarkable on my end. I definitely think this is an atmosphere-based place. By that I mean the food was fine but it's not something I would crave normally -- or if I did, I could go to the grocery store and make myself a little charcuterie board. But it's a really nice spot if you want to hang out with friends and enjoy some drinks and snacks while catching up. It also would be a good spot for date night.
