We accidentally found El Barco Marinero after attending an event nearby. My daughter was hungry, so we looked around for somewhere she could get carne asada and decided to give this place a try after seeing the great reviews. I'm so glad we did! It's a huge restaurant and you can tell it's family-owned and run. There were family and kids in the corner doing homework on their computers, which I thought was so sweet. Before we even ordered, they brought us complimentary ceviche with chips AND soup. Both were delicious and tasted incredibly fresh. I ordered the Baja fish tacos and my daughter got the carne asada tacos. The portions were VERY generous, especially for the prices. The fish tacos were fresh, crispy and loaded, but the carne asada really surprised me. It was tender, flavorful and honestly some of the best carne asada I've had. The service was also wonderful. I was already pretty full, so they happily boxed everything up for us to take home. I was genuinely surprised to see the restaurant so quiet on a Sunday because the food, portions, prices and service were all excellent. Definitely one of those tucked-away El Paso restaurants I'm really happy we stumbled across. We'll be back! El Barco Marinero 1212 N Yarbrough Dr Ste 307 El Paso, TX 79925

I saw the Ceviche Bar on social media and decided to try it out. We went on a weekday evening and…read morethe restaurant was not packed lol thankfully. (I wanted is to be able to take our time since this was our first visit). We were immediately greeted by the staff who were very helpful with explaining everything and assisting us pick out a dish. I decided to try the "build your own" ceviche. I chose the shrimp and the crab meat. They also let me taste a few of their sauces and even though they were delicious, they were definitely spicy. So beware!! However, the staff asked what level of spice I wanted from 1 to 10 and even though I said a 5, it was still spicy. . After picking the meats, I was then able to pick as many veggies as I wanted so of course I splurged lol. I got corn, carrots, red cabbage, cilantro, bell peppers, onions etc. I also added some avocado, which was an extra $2, but I can't have ceviche without avocado. My dish was very delicious!! It was quite a lot of food for ceviche. I do wish they would have given me more meat, but all in all for $14, you can't beat that price. I definitely suggest you check them out for yourself!!

Visiting El Paso from California and I have been looking for more casual dining experience with…read moregood food. This place was perfect! This restaurant is very unassuming and a hidden gem that is located in a strip mall. From the exterior, it's hard to know what to expect but when you walk in the restaurant, it's got a good ambience to it. It could make for a romantic date night, dinner or more casual dining experience at the bar, Overall it was a very pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. They offer booth seating, romantic table seating for two or more and seating at the bar. The hostess and the servers were very attentive. We received excellent service from the bar as well. The drink that I chose was a Side Car and coming from LA, we have great Mixology, but I have to say that this drink blew me away. And could possibly be one of the best whiskey cocktails I've had in a long time! It was so well, balanced, and perfectly crafted. We ordered the mussels and the fish of the day which was the trout in a lemon wine caper sauce. Both were absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. For dessert, we ordered both the chocolate mousse and the crème brûlée. I did not try the chocolate mousse, but my daughter said it was amazing. The crème brûlée was also perfectly made. The server, Bruléd at the table and that was a nice touch. I have had a lot of crème brûlée desserts and have my top five and I have to say this was probably on the list. So happy that we stumbled upon this place and I will probably be visiting one more time before I go back home. I highly recommend it!

We arrived with a baby and the hostess immediately told us no high chairs. Ok no biggie yet my…read morewife pointed out that they do have changing stations for babies in the restroom which is odd. Expectations and reality were nothing alike. As we were seated our waiter took 10 min to great us and then another 12 min to bring our drinks. I didn't think anything of it yet it was a precursor to the rest of our dinner. After he took our order our kids food came out in a very timely fashion but our two orders of salmon and one steak sandwich took 40 min to arrive at the table. What a ridiculous waste of my time because my sandwich was missing the fries ordered and our waiter thought nothing of it till I brought it up then he took another 10 min to bring my fries. All this while simultaneously forgetting the sauce for the salmon which also took another 10 min to bring out. The salmon was so dry it was tacky and stuck to your teeth. If you know the feeling you know it's bad. The rice that came underneath the salmon was crunchy and way undercooked. All while the waiter was like oh I can bring you free deserts for your wait all while I could only think about how I just wanted to leave. I was internally livid and exhausted but kept it to my self after seeing the owner or manager who we the guy with the white hair over at the bar enjoying a few alcoholic beverages meanwhile his restaurants service and waitstaff to the worst possible job they can. I saw the people who got the most attention and good service were all regulars sitting at the bar laughing it up with the manager/owner older guy. Why not make sure your restaurant is running smoothly and food is being delivered and prepared properly and stop trying to impress the regulars who most likely will show up either way. Any restaurant that is this unorganized and unmotivated is due to crappy management. All this and the waiter is like I'll comp you for the steak sandwich with a discount for the bad service and salmon which was a whopping $5. I don't want a discount I don't want free day old desserts I want good service and decent food. Discounts and free desserts will never fix the problem because it will always be a crutch for trashy customer service. How about stop drinking with the guests and whoop that staff into semi decent shape buy some high chairs and make sure your expo does a once over quality check on the food and time it takes to get to the table EVEN if that means stepping in and doing it yourself. The restaurant is dark the tables are sticky the whole place is very compact . Perfect and quite attractive after 5-6 wines for sure. I'm sure the food is outstanding after a few drinks as well . They gave us a $25 dollar gift card to return which if I could I'd give to the owner so he could experience the same horrible food and service we did. I wouldn't even give the gift card to someone I hated. This was one of the first times in a long time I didn't just let it slide because I understand all restaurants and people have bad days but this was exceptionally bad. If you are thinking it can't be that bad think again it absolutely can. The whole "I'm sorry we usually have awesome service and everyone loves our food it's probably just me and my family " is laughable . This isn't my first time here while visiting El Paso. The food is getting worse.

Came here on Saturday night with a party of four. I must say it was one of the best meals I have…read moreever had at a restaurant in El Paso. The service was top notch with Ipzel(sp?). We started with the HUMMUS, MACHA, MINI KEBAB & PITA and LAMB SHANK BARBACOA which were delicious. For main courses we shared the LOBSTER PASTA, SNAPPER CEVICHE, a black rice dish with scallops, calamari, shrimp(?) which were all delicious. We finished with a CREMA CATALANA & ORANGE YUZU ICE cream and ARROZ CON LECHE which both very good. One note for the management is the wines on the wine list are way overcharged for the quality of the wines offered. I know because wine is my hobby, I live on the Weat coast, and am very familiar with many of these wines. They could improve this list very easily.

Service is an integral part for any restaurant and I feel like there's an opportunity for the team. We came as a table of four and agreed that as lovely as the food and drink presentations were, we left feeling disappointed. Being established in an area like Cimarron, it's a mixture of folks who live in the neighborhood (all of us) and people driving in to experience. We were wanting to have a lighter dinner before the meals so we had a round of cocktails and a few shared plates for the table. It was evident that because we weren't enjoying a full multi-course meal, they were adamant on minimal check-ins for the table. Trying to check out was a whole ordeal and shouldn't have taken 25+ minutes at that. We opted for the octopus (loved how they poured the sauce tableside), wedge salad, and lobster pasta. Everything was very tasty and the octopus cut with minimal effort and the chunks of lobster in the pasta were plentiful. I'll be back to give it another shot as I'm sure there is room for growth. Happy to have them in the neighborhood.

The ambiance was wonderful, and the cocktails were on point. My wife had the bass and said it was excellent. I had the Tenderloin en Mole Negro, and it was easily one of the best dishes I've had in a while. Everything about it was perfectly executed, but the star for me was the coffee-infused mole negro. It was incredible. I liked the mole so much that I asked our waitress if there was any chance I could get a container of it to go. I fully expected that they might not be able to accommodate the request and told her it was completely fine if they couldn't. A few minutes later, she came back with a container of mole for me! It was absolutely worth the extra cost to bring some home. To top off an already great evening, Lawrence, the executive chef, came over and spent some time talking with us as we were wrapping up dinner. It was a really nice personal touch and the perfect way to end the night. Overall, Ambar was an 11/10 experience for my wife and me. Excellent food, great drinks, wonderful service, and the kind of hospitality that makes a restaurant memorable. We'll absolutely be back when we're in El Paso again.
