La Barra Cevicheria- LES

Walking into this LES mexican cevicheria, the inside of La Barra reminds me a bit as if Barrio Chino (the taco and margarita joint almost directly across the street) threw up on itself. With exposed brick from the adjacent building, minimal craigslist-esque furniture, and a bathroom that reaked of cigarette smoke, La Barra is the perfect lower east side hole in the wall. Even though it is BYOB (the best part of the restaurant besides the ceviche), four of us were still able to rack up an $80 bill, including 2 ceviches, 2 salads, guac, and a tamale. The ceviche is, hands down, deliciously flavorful and has the perfect amount of lime, cilantro, salt, freshly cut fish (theres a mushroom ceviche for you veges, though I did not try it) and whatever else they put in it. Everything else was..nothing special. I was also pleasantly surprised to find we were the only customers speaking English--
