La Barca Birria & Mariscos — Restaurant in Sacramento

So me and my wife and two kids were hungry so we decided to go to this so-called Mexican restaurant we order the food to realize the asada fries were $13 which is kind of pricey for any Mexican restaurant my wife ordered and asada burrito once I went and paid $20 for the food I open the box of Fry's to realize they didn't put sour cream and guacamole which was a good thing but they did put probably 1 lb of nacho cheese now I've been eating Mexican food for 31 years and I have never in my wildest dreams seen any type of authentic Mexican restaurant put nacho cheese on their food let alone some carne asada fries so I guess you can't assume that I did not eat the fries I try the cheese and it was disgusting to say the least my wife burrito which she cut me half of Since I no longer had any food had basically rice and cheese and a few beans there was maybe 30 tiny pieces of carne asada throughout the whole burrito there was times where I took four bites through the burrito and didn't get one bite of meat I would say there was probably 3 oz or 4 oz of meat on the whole burrito if I took a picture you would see that there was only rice and cheese not nacho cheese of course very very terrible restaurant I will never ever ever go to this place again and it took all my effort not to go back up there and throw the fruit through the front door and just drive myself home and take the loss of $20 please go somewhere else that serves real authentic Mexican food like El Pollo Feliz in North Highlands this place is very very nasty and is honestly a rip-off the worst Mexican restaurant I have ever been to in my life and my wife agrees even my five-year-old daughter said the nacho cheese...

The owner (calling him dude) invited me and a group of freinds over for an after party. Claiming there would be an open bar, kereoke, and good dancing music. We show up a lil past 2a.m. We were welcomed and greeted fine. However when we asked him if he had anything to drink he says yes what would you guys like... he comes back with two buckets a beer (6 beers in each bucket) And says that will be $35 each and goes back for two Jaritos soda for two people and says that will be $10 at this point evryone is looking confused as was I. The fact that he bot only invited us but stayed there would be an open bar then turned around and charged us! NOW BEFORE I CONTINUE I WOULD LIKE TO SAY NEITHER ME OR MY FREINDS THAT WERE INVITED "CHEAP" PEOPLE BUT IF TOU INVITE WITH AN OPEN BAR YOU ARENT EXPECTED TO BE CHARGED RITE! Anyways so he proceeded to ask what I would drink and I let him now since I was DD I would just take some water he brings me a bottle of water and I say I'm not paying you for WATER since you invited me and insisted I come then I will NOT be paying for the water rite he just laphed. But I was serious His freind that was there before we arrived said "everything has a price the air you breathe has a price" to which I responded with a deep breathe and said no I didnt just get charged for breathing... Point is we ended up deciding on leaving but of course we took our beer WE HAD ALREADY PAID FOR. mind you there is a $5 fee for Visa card trans It was just a ridiculous Definitely...

The staff here are genuinely warm and professional—like the kind of people who remember your name and your extra guac order. The place is impressively clean, like someone actually high-fived the mop after a good shift. Though it’s still new on the block, it’s already giving off strong “next foodie hotspot” energy. The burritos? Definitely above average—generous, satisfying, and confidently holding their own against the local taqueria titans. Add to that a consistently tidy vibe (yes, it deserves a double mention) and you’ve got a spot that feels fresh, friendly, and just right for grabbing a quick bite or catching up with friends. Seating is a bit limited, so think cozy not crowded—but hey, every great place starts with a humble stool or two. Great value, great vibe—this one's worth bookmarking before the line wraps...
