Barra Santos - Los Angeles, California

Jordan Wood

Cute spot! Inside is bar seating plus a few small, standing tables, and there is a patio on the sidewalk.

Iberico: Nice, thinly sliced - would recommend getting the cheese to go with it. Shaved with a machine cutter instead of a knife by hand.

Tuna crudo: Great flavors - love the zest of lemon. Some bites on the saltier side w the sea salt

Bifana: sooo good! Little kick of spice but not too spicy. Great flavors. Juices soaked into the bread making it all that much better too.

No parking lot that I saw, but street parking in the surrounding neighborhoods

Cute Portuguese tapas bar perfect for date night.

They don’t take reservations so it’s first come first serve. There’s seating outside and limited tables inside but lots of bar seating.

Limited menu overall and they ran out of the branzino but everything we had was delicious. Love the fritters and the crudo especially.

Would have to come back and try more.

Service is a bit more European style. Friendly but not super chatty.

Great wine selection. Had a very crisp vinho verde.

Very intimate spot that is a great place for a date. Not the best for large groups since space is very limited. The food is tapas style and is great for sharing with another person. The Lisbon style food is good and we really enjoyed the Fried Bacalau Fritters and Endive appetizer. They also had a special of a Green Snap Pea Salad that was the star of the meal. The Grilled Cabbage over Beans was also super tasty too. Service was friendly and nice. Cute space in a quieter and trendy spot in LA!

Barra Santos is like a bear hug or a tall cool beverage on a hot day. Save yourself the airfare and leg cramps and come here instead. I truly felt like I traveled to Portugal after my visit and immediately started planning my next returns.

Pro move is to come with 2-4 people and fire the menu. The intimate setting is not suitable for a large group so choose your favorite dining companions wisely. We started with the Ibérico ham and Tuna crudo and it was love at first bite for me. Bacalhau Fritters, charred cabbage and Bifana sandwich are out of this world as well. Specials were mussels, broiled prawn heads and snap pea salad. Always order all obviously.

Best to come when they just open if you’re allergic to waiting and please make sure your party is complete to get seated. I’m mentally sipping Porto Tónico at the bar as we speak!

As a half português, eating Portuguese food my whole life, I enjoyed the restaurant. The food was seasoned a little differently than I'm used to. The Português usually season their food very simply with salt, onions, garlic and wine. Piri piri Is a relatively new trend that originated in Mozambique, one of Portugal's territories, and made it's way into restaurants probably in the late 1960's. The other seasonings and herbs they used like cilantro, miso, are not common, to me. The menu was limited in entrees and I think the specials are what they count on people going for. I would recommend going once or twice. The bolinho de bacalhau was the most authentic thing I tried. The waiter was cute lol. The food was worth a try although pricy.

Their tapas were delicious!!! This place is a SCENE. Walk-In only/No rsvp, expect outdoor seating, casual Euro curb dining vibes with a 1-1.5hr wait on a Tuesday 7pm.

We were shocked at how cozy the street curb drinking action was. Everyone is chilling with bottle service while waiting to be seated for dinner. Dog friendly spot if you sit outdoors. Great people watching (diners) and pup watching. Great slow drinking and eating experience. Located in cypress park area as a destination place.

On a Tuesday 7pmish, the wait time for a party of 4 was 1-1.5hours. You'll receive a text to place you in line. It was easy to find a patio seat to wait, and order bottle service. Both next door pizza and market are part of the same company? Which makes sense since the restaurant staff mentioned we can sit at any of the patio seating, and order drinks to wait. Ordering bottle service was easy and fast. Staff were really nice and accommodating.

Dining Space: They have 1 indoor table for 4 seating, 2 standing walls for singles/pairs, bar seating, and a couple outdoor patio tables. We were super lucky to be seated at the only indoor seating table.

Food was delicious!! Everything we ordered was dairy free or made
with no dairy!! Todd was an amazing server, as well as everyone else. Usually people will order 2-3 items per person.
$40 Per bottle of white wine. We got 2.
$? Half dozen oysters was their special of the night.
$14 Iberico Ham. Was light.
$18 Tuna Crudo. Was fun. But a bit too much pepper for me but there because I'm not a fan of pepper. It's tortures my taste buds a bit too much.
$17 Endive Salad is a MUST!!!
$13 Fitters is the SO's favorite. And actually pretty decent in price.
$25 Pawns.
$10 Golden Brown Potatoes. Simple and filling.
$25 Bifana Pork Sandwich. Great serving time on this. We definitely filled up after this. The bread and it's olive oil was the star in this one.

Parking: Local street parking. It's not as difficult to find parking as local Silverlake. But be prepared to circle around.

Now that we know what's up, we definitely will be strolling instead of driving over from our friends place. We'll definitely be back!

食物還好，跟在葡萄牙吃到的不怎麼一樣，只能說品項類似。 豬肉三明治，特別油。 幾隻可憐的蝦子調味不怎麼樣，蒜味完全沒出來，卻不便宜，可以跳過。 重點是點來配蝦汁，3-4片薄到透光的無味麵包$3？我開始懷念在葡萄牙吃到的蝦子了。
當服務生開始換盤子的時候，我就知道服務費一定是內加了，果然沒錯。 換的時機很微妙。。

Tiny portion sizes that will leave you hungrier than when you came. Server forgot ordered items and there is a 20% service charge. The taste was aggressively average but the pork sandwich had a rubbery texture/taste (you’re basically eating bread because of the comically small sized layer of pork). Would highly recommend spending your time and money elsewhere. I rarely write reviews but I had to for this one.
