Oceanic Enterprises is putting final touches on La Barca Restaurant and Bar on Midway Drive. The Mexican restaurant is due to replace Banzai Bar amidst the busy retail district near the Sports Arena. 

What Now San Diego spoke with Oceanic Enterprises Director of Food and Beverage, Rodrigo Contreras, about the latest concepts they’ll soon introduce to San Diego.

Oceanic Enterprises operates a wide portfolio of hotels in the West as well as a group of San Diego restaurants including Mikami Bar & Revolving Sushi in Kearny Mesa and Birdseye Rooftop Bar and Lounge in La Jolla.

Contreras saw a need for authentic Mexican seafood in the Midway district and from there, La Barca was built from scratch to bring a Baja-inspired concept to life in the area. Inside guests will find graffiti-style street art, a seafood-forward menu, and plenty of in-house entertainment.

Signature starter dishes include a traditional whole octopus seasoned in Mexican spices and a house sauce, fresh guacamole, and jumbo calamari prepared in-house and never frozen. La Barca’s seafood is delivered fresh from Baja, Ensenada, and Mazatlán.
