Looking for a sweet escape from your boring daily routine? Well look no further! Casa Del Barco and Island Shrimp Co rooftops in Chesterfield Towne Center are the place to be for ultimate staycation vibes 🌺🌞🏝 Head to the former for dinner, then cross the connecting “party bridge” to the latter for a late night snack and dessert…OH and get drinks at both! Here’s the highlights of my experience:
Casa Del Barco 🛥🏠
🌮 I got a sneak peak at the Al Pastor tacos that were introduced on the menu yesterday, and let me tell you, the pineapple and meat combo is one I can get behind (except maybe when it comes to pizza lol) 💯
🌽 I don’t know how I’ve been to Casa Del Barco so many times without trying the Mexican Style Street Corn, but I can’t express enough how much you are missing out! Sooo warm and juicy and the Parmesan cheese just topped it off 🤤
🍹Their collection of summer cocktails includes the High Priestess of California, Watermelon Margarita, and Sangria. My favorite was the High Priestess, but based on observation, the marg was clearly the fan favorite. 🤩🍉
Island Shrimp Co 🏝🍤
🫔 Lumpia (spring rolls) are a perfect late night snack and had such a beautiful presentation! 🥺🌸
🍍 The Pineapple Upside Down Cake dessert was amazing and came with coconut ice cream which was so refreshing on the hot day I went. 🍨
🧉 Still obsessing over the drinks here omg. I LOVED the Bahama Mama “Island Style” drinks that came in coconuts and pineapples so much! This is the only place in Richmond you will find drinks like this. HECK, I can’t even find drinks served like this in Florida! The Blue Typhoon was my other personal fav cause of it’s fruity and sour flavor 🤪
Both rooftops have beautiful sunset views and a DJ this Saturday from 9pm-midnight, so it’s gonna be a party you don’t want to miss! 🥳 Don’t forget to make a reservation on their website. 👉 This would be the perfect place to have a birthday or anniversary celebration, classy night out with friends, or date night with a sunset view. Overpriced rooftop bars always get all the hype, but I think it’s clear that @casadelbarco and @islandshrimpco are the real winners 🤑 I mean, what’s better than drinking out of coconuts and eating tacos at midnight? NADA! 🙅♀️
