Can't speak to dinner, but lunch is a great value. Food is very tasty and there's a lot of reasonable options. Love the bento boxes and combinations. Last time I had stirfry udon noodles with chicken and vegetables, and the bowl was very good. Service has always been very friendly and attentive. read more

This was our first sit down lunch in town and it was awesome. What a great selection of fancy cocktails and I had non alcoholic drink that was super. The food came out quickly and was delicious. My group of 10 loved it and we had great service. The ambiance was clean fresh and classy. We sat outside and loved watching the town and people walk by. Definitely a place to grab dinner or lunch for sure !! read more

Two years later, this spot still slaps! One of my favorite lunch spots. I don't even like guacamole, but they make THE BEST GUACAMOLE ON THE PLANET. Bring cash because it's cash-only. Grab a seat and have a perfect little lunch. The guac is big enough for two people, but we were super hungry so we got a shrimp tostada each. It was so much food but one of the best things I have eaten in awhile. Love sitting at the front of the open air restaurant and taking in the passersby. Great service u til it was time to pay and then we had to hunt down our waiter por la cuenta. That's not really a complaint, though. Looking forward to our next visit! read more

Laid back vibe and deco perfect for a casual night dinner. The Ceviche, oh the Ceviche! So good. We also ordered salads to go along. One salad is large enough for two. Service and seating are great. You get to have a wonderful dinner and watch the Sayulita street scene go by. read more

This place deserves a higher rating! The manager Carlos and waiter Daniel took excellent care of us and recommended the Molcajete for two. It was best dinner we have had in Mexico. The presentation and flavors from the complexity of the sauce and ingredients were memorable. And the craft cocktails were also very good at price that didn't bust the budget.

I want to share an above and beyond experience that I and my friends had while dining at Barracuda. One of my friends was not feeling well and Carlos, our waiter, immediately jumped into action without being asked and was able to connect my friend to medical care on the spot. He even went so far as to call a taxi for my friend so that he could get to the medical center right away. He was incredibly thoughtful and helped manage a situation in the moment eliminating barriers and complications so my friend could get the medical support he needed. I want to thank Carlos for his help and for being such a thoughtful and proactive person. read more

Cash only... so have enough because the food and drinks are good. I got their Jaimaca cocktail and it was tasty. Even their shots came in a cool skull shot glass. For appetizers we got octopus and tuna tostada. I recommend the octopus. It was super good. We also shared the aguachile... a little salty but still had major tart and good pieces of raw shrimp. For our main dinner we shared a Molcajete. It came with 2 shrimps, 2 octopus tentacles, 2 onions, and some meat, and of course tortillas. Enough food for 2 with all the fun appetizers. I wish they accept credit card, if they did we would have ordered more. read more

Great place for a solid molcajete and seafood tostadas. It's a nice place right in the middle of town and in front of the picturesque narrow roadway with the overhead draping flapper canopy. The service is a bit slow , but food and cocktails were pretty damn good. I'd go back. Cash only. read more

On a busy street right by the plaza. There's lots of street performers that were entertaining us throughout dinner. I got the zarandeada which was recommended by our waiter. It is their local flavored fish with some type of red sauce. It didn't have much flavor and was a small portion for the price. One friend got their lobster tacos which was also a small portion for the price. Another friend got the fried red snapper which is market price but cheaper than the fish I got and a bigger portion. Two of my other friends got the mocaljete which is a mixture of meat and seafood in a hot stone bowl. The pulpo or octopus was over cooked but the red sauce was delicious! Our waiter was ok and service was kinda slow but the entertainer/street singer was great! Prices are also higher than most places in the area so expect to pay at least 300-500 pesos per person for dinner. read more

This place was our first food stop after arriving in Sayulita! We shared a couple of tostadas, tacos, ceviche and got a limonada and pinada as well. The presentation of the food and drinks were really nice! I didn't realize that my pinada drink was more like a smoothie, so it was thick and refreshing. The Peruvian ceviche was alright to me- it was lacking flavor and didn't seem very fresh. The tacos were pretty good, but my favorite were the tostadas! Both the tuna and shrimp versions were delicious and hit the spot. I really wanted to try their aguachile since that is one of my favorite dishes and it looked appetizing when I saw it arrive at the party next to us. I guess I'll have to get it next time! read more

One of my favorite restaurants in Sayulita! The seafood here is so fresh and the flavors are very light and refreshing. Highly recommend: Tuna sashimi Scallop tostada Fish taco (fried) Shrimp taco (fried) We tried other things but I don't think they were anything memorable/special: Shrimp tostada Shrimp and cheese taco Special marlin taco This place does get packed at night though. When we first tried coming here, the wait was 40min so we went somewhere else. Came back for lunch and was seated right away. read more

Honestly sad to update this review, but they have substantially reduced their portion sizes while the prices have stayed the same. This is one of the most expensive places to eat in Sayulita now. I got the same dishes I usually get and was shocked. I come to Sayulita every few months but this place is no longer in my rotation of places to eat. It's a shame - it shouldn't be so hard or bad to simply give people what they are paying for. read more

My wife and I stopped here for a few beers and to get out of the sun. We got a table on the sidewalk which was great as there was very little car traffic. Great service and friendly environment. The beers were going down well and we decided to order some food. Best idea of the day. She ordered the fish tacos and the cream of spinach soup and I had the Molcajete. OMG! Everything was fresh and delicious. We'd definitely Italy come back! read more

The barracuda was a very unpleasant surprise. We went there with high hopes for fresh seafood but the tuna was smelling quite nasty. We immediately returned it to the waitress. However at the end of the meal it was put on the bill. The ceviche was ok but overall the experience was not good. read more

Our favorite restaurant In Sayulita! We were in town for three days, and stopped here twice because their food was AMAZING!! Marlin is popular amongst the Sayulita town, and we decided to give the Marlin tostadas a shot. This Marlin was served warm on a crunch tostada da paired with picked onions, avocado lime and more! All of our tostadas were fresh, and they were served with sauces to make your tostadas as spicy/ mild as you wish. The restaurant sits on the strip in front of all the flags in Sayulita, seconds away from the plazita. You get to view all the local vendors and musicians a they walk past you while you dine which really adds for an overall "Mexico" like experience! We can't wait to be back in Sayulita to eat here again! read more

My wife and I had an early dinner of ceviche, tacos, and cocktails. The tacos were good. My wife had the "barracuda taco" which was a fried marlin tacos covered with a special salsa topping. She liked it. I had a taco gobenador, which was a fried shrimp taco with cheese, that was also quite good. Their ceviche was good, but not as good s as the one we had next door at Tierra Vida. It was different though, with fish, cucumber, and carrots. My cocktail was very tropical and refreshing. I had La Dama, which had tequila and primarily guava juice. Barracuda is on one of the main streets with lots of restaurants, tourists, performers, etc., so it can get quite loud and busy. It's fairly pricey too, but they take credit cards which is convenient since e we were running out of cash! read more

Service was marginal, even though the place was almost empty when we got there at 7:00 on a Thursday night. Food was also marginal. My wife's risotto was almost tasteless. Because we were a party of more than 2 they put us at a table outside by the street, where we were assailed throughout out meal by a string of street vendors and the bad amplified singer with backing track from across the street. Do yourself a favor, go to Don Pedro's instead. read more

Located in the heart of Sayulita just steps away from the beach, Barracuda is offering up exactly what you'd want to eat after a long day of surfing - seafood. And they do it really, really well. Our party of 4 walked in at around 3pm looking for a late lunch and drink specials, but not expecting such bomb food. Boy, were we pleasantly surprised! To start, these margaritas were made just right. Actually some of the best I had on my trip. My 3 girl friends also loved them. For food, we ordered guac to share and it was a MASSIVE portion. The 4 of us made a solid dent in it, but still had enough to take home and snack on later. Totally worth the price. For my main, I ordered 2 grilled shrimp tacos (I probably should have only ordered 1) and the Barracuda Taco with fried Marlin. The shrimp tacos were out of this world, and the Barracuda was delicious as well, although a bit burnt on the outside. I left overly full, so if you're not looking to roll out of the restaurant like I did, just go with 2 tacos. One of my friends is vegan and ordered the spring rolls, which again, came in a hefty portion. She said the flavors were spot on too. The others had the shrimp tacos as well and loved them. Definitely one of the 'highlight' meals of our trip. read more

I picked this restaurant because it was the quietest place after my husband and I were walking around exhausted with a hungry 8 year old and a chaotic 2 year old. The non alcoholic cocktails were delicious, and the fish we had were very tasty. My husband had the whole snapper and I had the fish of the day which was a dorado. They were both well salted and spiced. My son had pasta Alfredo and they enjoyed it. The music was a bit loud so we requested it to be a little quieter, and they happily obliged. I will go back there again when I visit next time. read more

Im rating the food a 5 because it was really good. Hopefully it wasn't spit on it. I won't know because I won't be back. My girlfriend was born in Mexico and hardly speaks English and I'm a gringo well on my way to learning Spanish. The treatment I received felt intentional and insulting. Once we were seated, we waited at least 15 minutes for someone to take our order.since my girlfriend speaks perfect Spanish, I let her order the drinks and oysters for our appetizer and the Marlin burrito with the langosta tacos for our dinner. Planning on sharing.,We waited for at least 15 to 20 minutes after ordering our drinks and oysters and we finally received our order of oysters and drinks. 30 minutes after that we couldn't find our waiter. A new waiter arrived and we explained our issue. He told me a story how the other waiter left because another table stiffed him. I told him our service shouldn't suffer. I asked him to please just bring us our food and this time please bring me a margarita instead of the long island ice tee that I previously ordered. I felt bad because I felt he was taking the brunt for some other waiter. He then proceeded to mess up my drink order. I called him out and told him that me and my girlfriend just moved to Sayulita. We love the food at the restaurant and told him we just want to be taken care of. He asked me if he could bring me a box for my left overs. I thanked him and waited for at least 5 minutes. My girlfriend got tired of waiting so she asked another worker to provide a box. I have no problem with someone making a mistake. But when its 3 times in one sitting. I hope he enjoys the tip because sadly we won't be back. Lost trust. No sincerety or effort. And I don't even want to get into my other beliefs about the intentions we felt from the wait staff. It really upsets me because the food has always been good. Food: 5/5 | Service: 1/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5 read more

We ate here twice this week and have decided it's our overall favorite in Sayulita. Great service, super delicious and healthy food, great drinks, and probably the best people watching spot (based on our limited experience). Entertainment in the street right in front both nights we ate there. Our bill was about 75 USD and we were for about 3 hours having appetizers, trying various drinks, and eating their main meals. Order from their "mains." We tried 4 dishes over 2 meals and were highly impressed with them all. read more

overpriced! I just left here, ordered the fried red snapper over avocado. It was flavorless. Had to add lots of lime, salt and chipotle to eat it. Also, a glass of wine was $8, and look at the size of the pour. Ridiculous price for such a small amount. This restaurant was nothing to write home about. Don Pedro's was MUCH better, and cheaper. oh, and no wi-fi read more

Our biggest disappointment of the trip. I think this is a restaurant all about presentation, less about taste. We ordered a mojito and michelada to start. First off, they took like 15 mins to get to us; while the restaurant was busy it wasn't that packed. They arrived beautifully displayed - my michelada had soo many toppings on it - but neither tasted that flavorful or refreshing. (We ordered the same thing at Aloha Bar before dinner and it was much better there.) Onto the food. We started with the calamari, which was tasty! Nicely fried and the dipping sauce had good lemon zest. However, our entrees were very disappointing. My molcajete had no flavor besides charred on the grill. The sauce had barely any flavor. Tortillas were rubbery. I couldn't make more than one taco with it. Husband's mahi mahi was also disappointing. His potatoes were cold, and the mahi mahi didn't taste fresh (we are big mahi mahi eaters, having just lived on Hawaii for three months...). Overall, the service was very slow too. The waiters seemed more preoccupied with replenishing our silverware than with delivering our food. The restaurant would do well by focusing more on its flavors rather than its appearance. read more

This is a super trendy spot in the heart of Sayulita. The entire restaurant is open air and pretty much spills onto the streets, which made the dining experience that much more unique. Throughout our dinner, we were constantly being entertained by street performers, whether it was music or fire dancing. It was so much fun. Not only was the entertainment great, but so was the food. We ordered tuna tataki, green ceviche, octopus and scallop tostada, and marlin burrito. I would like to say that I am kind of a snob when it comes to fresh/raw seafood but we genuinely enjoyed every dish ordered. The dishes with raw seafood were all so fresh and the marlin burrito was so delicious. This spot may be a little pricier for Mexican standards as me and my friends paid about 500 Mexican pesos per person, but I think it was well worth. Overall, I highly recommend Barracuda for your next dining experience in Sayulita: the ambiance, food, and entertainment honestly cannot be beat! read more

Fresh seafood right by the beach. The clam was fresh and crunchy with all the guts removed and I ordered it plain. The oysters were briney and some were plump. The fish taco was plentiful with two good size pieces of fish. It was just ok with the batter a bit thick and soggy. Flavor wise was not as good at fish tacos in Ensenada (tacos El Fenix). All in all a good experience drinking and eating while people watching or the occasional street performer. read more
