I have been tehre on more than 1 occasion but one particular time my friends and 1 went and there was a roach in the house salsa. Now whe the mangement came by he had the nerve to infer that we put it in the slasa which made the experience worse. So long story short DONT GO!
Read More On Citysearch LuvJones 2/2/2010 - My Favorite College Food SpotI've had many great memories with LA BARCA! Margaritas, tacos and AMAZING chips/salsa! The atmosphere is ideal for large groups and socializing! There's always a positive and energetic vibe at La Barca. The waiters are sassy and welcoming in the best of ways!! If you order THE COLOSSAL Burrito, you will honestly have to share!! It's GIGANTIC, yet AMAZING!! Probably the biggest burrito in LA!! La...

But once you get in, the margaritas are flowing, the 2 big screen tv's were showing the Laker game - it was pretty much all good. Seems to be able to pull of being a family restaurant as well as a trendy, hipster hang-...

If you are looking for outstanding food and service, then go somewhere else. There is some truth to, "you get what you pay for". This is that place, decent food for cheap prices. I like it though. I would rather wait in line for a $2.50 strawberry margarita, then go right in for a $14 apple martini.

The enchiladas are the best and the burritos are to die for. The shrimp burritos are my favorite. The prices are good and the staff really takes care of you.
Oh yeah the Margarita's are EXCELLENT.

Mostly local patrons including USC students and LAPD. Very clean and attentive waiters. Great Mexican experience! Food in the best in LA and very inexpensive.
Has a Margarita Happy Hour every day.

This is was my first time going here, but had heard a lot about it... it was a Saturday night, 7 PM, about a 35 min. wait. That seemed about right, but when we were seated, our waiter took a long time. We understood it was packed. Our appetizer came out fast and I ordered the Enchiladas Suizas and my husband ordered the carne asada plate. The plates were mediocre at best. We are Mex-American, so ...

Every tuesday evening dozens of students cram into the small waiting area waiting for a table. Despite the long lines it is totally worth it. Margaritas, pina coladas and coronas are all $2.50 and the food is good and cheap. My roommates and try to come here every Tues. It is a great little spot!

Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 8/3/2005 - Best $5 BurritoThe $5 burrito is the size of my head and oh so good but I'm also a fan of the camarones a la diabla (shirmp of the devil) but it's super spicy so beware. They serve free chips and salsa and the food is always satisfying. Highly recommended.

But the highlight of the place is the Mexican Flan. You can't say you've had La Barca if you haven't had their Flan. One serving of Flan was not enough for me. The wait to be seated could be long.

Sometimes you can't even walk right after eating such a hearty meal. It's so good you want to finish the plate! Oh, and they recently installed those mistifiers outside so you can cool off from the summer heat. I love La Barca!

Read More On Citysearch dheilanw 8/6/2002 - Great Prices, Good Mexican foodThe food here is definitely not average, but not the best either, but just plain good. What makes this place worth wild are the prices and the service. Prices are cheap, with a hearty lunch running you $7. Try the Burrito Gigante, or the enchiladas, pretty yummy. The waitstaff is about the friendliest you'll find around these parts, always prompt and always friendly. The location is a bit sh...
