People go to La Barca just because they are told that ""people go to La Barca"". We had the worst service there! We ordered our pitcher of margaritas while we waited in the overcrowded bar. The pitcher did not arrive until after we had been seated at the table and even then it was disgusting! The waiter was inattentive and rude... and how many times can ""Happy Birthday"" be sung over the period of one hour? Although the food was decent, you're much better off in the de-gentrified areas of the Mission where the family owned restaurants make strong drinks and authentic grub: minus the shrieking 21 year olds.
Pros: nice sized portions, very roomy
Cons: , ambience, drinks
