Visit El BarcoCheck out the Island's new outdoor bar, conveniently located overlooking the ferry terminal in Vineyard Haven. The restaurant specializes in "tacos and tequilas," and they just held their grand opening last week. Patrick Lyons, the restaurant's owner and a pioneer of the bar and restaurant business, has been a summer resident of the Island for more than 30 years. The prices are very reasonable, so you will not break the bank if you are taking out your family. Menu options include elotes, chicken flautas, steak burritos, quesabirria, and so much more.
