Our Story

El Barco was born from a passion for authentic Latin flavors. We set out to serve “Mexican Soul Food” – comforting, flavorful dishes centered around vibrant tacos and handcrafted tequilas. Our original home in Vineyard Haven, overlooking the harbor from the historic Old Stone Bank property , captures the energy of island life.

Now, we’re thrilled to bring that same spirit and taste to Boston with our Back Bay location. Whether you’re soaking up the sun on the Vineyard or grabbing a bite in the city, El Barco is about sharing good food and good times. It’s a place to come together.
