Martha's Vineyard Mexican Restaurant Turns Boston Popup Into Permanent Space
The Back Bay location of the restaurant will hit the ground running this fall with specials and events.
BOSTON, MA — What started as a Mexico City-inspired restaurant on Martha's Vineyard led to a Boston pop-up for the spring and summer. That restaurant has now secured permanent placement in the city's Back Bay neighborhood.
El Barco is now a permanent fixture at 50 Dalton St. The location is open Sunday through Wednesday from 11:30 to 12 a.m. and Thursday through Saturday from 11:30 to 1 a.m.
To celebrate, restaurant officials have scheduled a full slate of specials and events for the fall season.
