La Barca Restaurant — Restaurant in New York

My daughter & I were walking around the neighborhood and decided to look for a place to eat. This restaurant had one of the best reviews, so we decided to check it out. The Restaurant and the patrons looked very welcoming and friendly amongst one another and we were welcomed in as well. The food looked freshly prepared and everything looked Delicious! We ordered and sat down at a vacant table because the stools by the food were packed. When our food arrived, we were very surprised at the portion size. It is Huge!! We both knew that attempting to eat it all would be a mission...not impossible, but a hungry persons delight. We were happily amazed at the flavor of the Bistec y Arroz Blanco with black beans, & the Pechuga De La Plancha y Tostones. I have read the other bad reviews and we didn’t encounter anyone who didn’t understand English when it came to ordering, nor food that was cooked wrong or hard. We loved it & would definitely stop by again if we were in the...

Amo a las habichuelas que hacen, el pollo, el chicharon PERO ese arroz calentado en microonda no sirve para nada! El arroz parece como que esta crudo. Ustedes saben lo facil que es recalentar arroz en la paila? El servicio de cliente es los mas importante, me quitaron la ganas de ordenar de aqui por eso mismo. El arroz y los tostones lo re-calientant y eso no sirve.

Alright, English is my dominant language. The beans, chicken, etc is great, some of the best beans I've ever had, BUT the rice is reheated in a microwave and the grain gets hard, its awful. This discourages me from wanting to order from here. Same for the tostones, its reheated and the texture/taste is just awful with a hint of refrigeration.

If I want to order from here I have to literally only order the meat, beans and chinola juice cause the rest is awful! WASN'T ALWAYS LIKE THIS, 2018,19,20 there was no issues, it all started either in 21 or 22. Would love if they went back to...

La Barca has delicious food. It's located not too far from NY Presbyterian Hospital so it's perfect to grab lunch for yourself or someone you might be visiting in the hospital.

The place is small but clean. They have alot of dividers up due to COVID. The lady who was attending me was perfect. She took my order exactly, verified what i wanted, asked a few questions and packed up my order with no issues.

The food was so good. I got a soup, pata de vaca. Delicious. I also got a half chicken, white rice, beans and salad. The chicken was not dry at all. The rice was nice and fluffy. The beans were tasty. The salad was good and it was seasoned for me.

Overall this place is really good. I was attended well, the food was delicious and the price was right. I can't wait to visit this place again. I highly...
