Reviews for El Barquito Seafood & Tex-Mex in Cut and Shoot, TX
I think this place has great potential if they can figure things out but they certainly have some work to do. Don?t order the... margaritas, they must be wine based so they weren?t good and overpriced. Two of us ordered off lunch menu and were charged fullprice. My son ordered chicken quesadillas and was charged for beef but we were told they were the same price. (We later lookedat the menu online to find they were NOT the same price like we were told and were charged $1 more) We actually liked theirchips and salsa but everything else was just okay. Read more
Boiled seafood that I ordered was way too spicy after I specifically said plain. To add insult to injury they charge way too... much!!! Would not recommend, not going back. I should have demanded the spicy dish be refunded. Read more
The food was ok but it?s not enough for the price also the service was pretty bad and they included the tips on the bill. Which... I think just be optional and according to service too. They give them self 18% percent of tips without my permission they justput 56 dollars us a tip. I won?t don?t recommend this place. Read more
Great service and excellent food! We will definitely be coming back for more!
Oysters were flat and small. Also, whoever is shucking them needs to do better. My oysters had a lot of shell in them. At 4pm on... a Sunday, they turned up the music like it was a night club. Couldn't hear ourselves talk. The server got my order wrong twice.Tge second time I had to physically show her on the menu because she didn't believe they had what I was asking for. The buildinghas potential but was built very cheap. Sheetrock is already falling off the walls. Hope you guys figure out how to whip it into shape soon or you'll just be an empty boat house on the side of the road Read more
Wow just wow!! First off the extremely loud Spanish music walking should have been a deterrent but I still tried. Asked a couple... questions about the menu and waitress had no clue, one question was is there mushrooms in this? And the answer was ?no?. Orderedand it was more mushrooms than anything. When asked the manager about why it was not listed he said the chef wanted to usemushrooms so he did. Luckily I noticed before I ate a bite because you know I?m highly allergic. The crab fingers were way overcooked and bland. The queso was watery and bland tasting. The chips were so stale they were inedible. Take my review as a pleato save your time and money. This place will be closed in no time if they don?t list ingredients especially ones people arecommonly allergic too!! Read more
Love the oysters and frog legs. Never crowded when I've been there. *EDITED* After returning here 3 months later, I had to... change my review. The place has been expanded and remodeled, but the menu changed also. The frog legs used to have differentoptions on the type of batter and that made a world of difference. The frog legs were bland, the rice was kinda bland too. Butthe oysters were huge and delicious. And Negra Modelo on tap! Read more
The food was amazing. We ordered fajita quesadillas, shrimp cocktail and a ceviche Vallarta. The seafood tasted good and it... looked very fresh. The shrimp was cleaned out good, saw 0 poop in my shrimp. Overall good experience. Read more
