I wish I could leave a good review of this place because the food looked and tasted very good. We were so excited to come to this restaurant as it seemed like the nicest place in town, and we wanted to celebrate one of our last nights in town there. However, both myself and my friend who ordered the same thing (Molcajete) both got FOOD POISONING several hours after we ate here. My bf was lucky and ONLY got diarrhea; he had to run home immediately after dinner while we took photos in the streets. I guess I shouldn't have laughed at him because unbeknownst to me, I had it coming. I woke up in the middle of the night and the rest of the long night, I had to battle violent vomit and the runs uncontrollably coming out of both ends of my body at the same time. I had to cancel my dive trip the next day and had to stay in bed a whole day recovering. Luckily as soon as my body got everything out, I was able to bounce back. We're not sure what ingredient caused it, as everything tasted fine, but the repercussions were unmistakeable. Also the service was really slow. It took an hour to get our food, and meanwhile my friend was eaten alive by a mosquito as we waited. She was annoyed that they offered other guests insect repellent but not us. After eating a lot of street food, it's so ironic that we got sick at the nice restaurant we least expected to. I feel bad leaving a negative review since I know restaurants are hurting with covid, but food poisoning is also not fun. read more

Worse service and food on our trip. We waiting to be seated and got seated after the second party. The food took forever. Ordered the clam chowder and it took them 30 mins to tell me that they didn't have the bread bowl and another 20 to make my food. The pasta tasted like it came out of a box. Food was cold. They still charged us for a clam chowder bread bowl . It is not worth the time or your money to come here. Save your money for the local food vendors. read more

Literally just finished a meal here and have to rave about it. Best meal so far in Sayulita! Had a taco and tostada, the waiter was awesome in giving me suggestions of what to order. I got the seafood mix tostada which came piled high with veggies which was unexpected but welcome after a week of barely eating greens. The barracuda taco was his other suggestion, amazing! This isn't an ordinary taco as its fried so extra crispy and delicious stuffed with a seafood purée. All ingredients were super fresh and high quality! Highly recommended! read more

If you're looking for excellent cocktails (please get the mango margarita on the rocks) and the freshest seafood, this place is for you! The live Latin Jazz they play out front really sets the mood too. read more

The best ceviche on the beach! Great restaurant to visit after a long day on the water. Easy to get to and lots going on right in the area and on the beach. Loved the dia de los muertos decorations! Staff super friends and great drink options, hope to go back! read more

Terrible customer service. We happened to arrive during shift change and we were hurried to order and to pay. They were more concerned about about closing their shift than to provide any customer service. A homeless shelter has better customer service than this place. If I could give negative stars I will give a -10 star . read more

Really high-quality place with great selection - clean, good service, decent prices. Food is damn good and they have an awesome selection of salsa. read more

Enjoyed grilled fish tacos and chips with salsa and guacamole at a table on the side walk. They were delicious, fresh, and the perfect lunch. Our food came out quickly and we had great service! read more

Well, my wife's and my experience with Barracuda was less than thrilling. After a LONG wait to be seated, we waited just as long to be served our cold, food.... If it were not for the fact that the quality of the fish was good, the wait and the fact it was cold, I'd give it a "one" star. I will admit that the Latin band playing was very good, but not worthy of a return visit.... read more

Best ceviche I've ever had! By far! It made the walk from Sayulita to San Pancho worth it. Avoid eating at the restaurants at the beach. Have a couple of beers there but eat at Barracuda, the food is fantastic, cheap as hell, and the service is awesome! Big Thumbs up! read more

Great ceviche and tacos - highly recommend! We ordered extra ceviche tostadas to go and took it home for leftovers the next day. They pack the tostada shells separate, which is perfect. read more

Loved the avocado bruschetta and the garlic shrimp! Very seafood heavy menu, which is great for me. Had many pasta options for those who don't like seafood. We are here twice! read more

Really good food and had a great trio of musicians out front. Drinks were creative and well-boozed. Thumbs up to the ceviche.

Excellent fresh fish dishes, perfectly prepared and presented very artistically! A little pricey but worth it. The tuna tartare and fresh dorado-mahi mahi- superb! read more

This was one of my favorite places but they don't all employees wear mask , the cooks , the hostess etc . The waiters wear this 1/2 mask .. not all of them , this is already a risk ! But for the business and succeed this place does, You would think that they would care about their customers and employees and be more respectful of Covid it's rampant here. Shame on you . read more

We started off with the tuna appetizer. This appetizer was excellent and the tuna was very very fresh. The next appetizer we had was the octopus carpaccio. This was also good assuming you like octopus. Very high-quality ingredients. Then came dinner. The food looked very beautiful. The ingredients were fresh and of the highest quality. We had the mahi-mahi, the seafood skewer and a shrimp main course.However, every element of the dish was soaked in butter. It is so much butter, the food was almost not edible. You could not eat the rice due to the butter....too bad because I think it otherwise would've been good. Same with the vegetables. The service was good and the cocktails were generous. Our waitress was great. I will give it another shot but I will just have them hold off on the butter. read more

Great, no excellent food. The creamy poblano soup was 20 stars. I could eat this every day OMG!!!

Food was awesome ... FYI they have a daytime menu and a nighttime menu. The garlic shrimp was awesome looks small but it is very filling. We also had the shrimp Alfredo and it was great as well. read more

A great place for seafood tacos! Order the Marlin or Baracuda tacos. Located in a great place with a great view.

Excellent burritos! Highly recommend the chicken burrito and spring rolls! Food was super fresh.

Was in Sayulita for a week for my buddy's wedding and to eat and drink our way through this awesome town. We wanted to try every restaurant in town but couldn't help but to go back to Barracuda because it was so damn good! Some of the freshest, most delicious seafood I've ever had. Shrimp aguachile, tuna tostadas, fried shrimp and fish tacos out of this world. Already planning a trip back mainly so I can eat at this place again. Oh yeah and Rigo, mi tocayo was the best. read more

Great atmosphere, food was average at best. The only good item we had was the Peruvian ceviche. The waiter sold us on the lobster special, so two of us ordered that. There was hardly any lobster meat. For the price, should've been more. And we also had a fresh tuna dish. There was some sort of cheese on top! Honestly, it smelled like vomit. I didn't touch it. And no one asked why. I didn't want to make a big deal, so we paid and left. Won't go back. read more

This was a cute place on a side street in Sayulita. We went here because it was busy and had 5 star reviews on Yelp. We ordered a bunch of things to try. My favourites was the shrimp ceviche, marlin fish tacos and shrimp tacos. We would totally come back to this place again. read more

Excellent fish tacos. The Marlín tacos my girlfriend ordered were top notch. Add a generous helping of their salsa and you're in taco heaven! read more

Best spot in town that I ate at for healthy, fresh Augachille, ceviche, and tostadas. Get the mixto Tostados, or Augachiles would be my top 2 recs. Ate lunch here 4 out 7 days haha. Two plates, 2 beers, and gauc was 330 pesos on avg, or like 18 bucks US. Insane value. There are a lot of great food spots in town but I liked this place best for a healthy mid day meal. Awesome service too. Super friendly staff. read more

Good Mexican seafood and very good service. The Molcajete is a traditional dish worth trying.

I walked by this restaurant one evening while wandering Central and spotted a woman eating what I surmised to be tuna sashimi, and I was over the moon. After he confirming it was good, I ordered one and it did not disappoint (that's a lot for me to say considering I am from Vancouver, sushi capital of Canada). Crab cakes was delicious, and finished with coconut lèche dessert. Best part about my dinner experience there was Moonrise acoustic band was playing that evening right in front of the restaurant and it made for the perfect evening out being serenaded my them. A memorable evening indeed! read more

The food may be okay but the service is horrible. They completely forgot two entrees for a party of 5 and didn't notice or ask. We finally had to get up and ask about the meal (so long after all the other dinners were served we just canceled it.) Then they charged us for the meal they never brought. As consolation, they offered dessert. Maybe if I were 6 I would just want dessert for dinner, but off to another restaurant for a real meal. read more

Delicious! The first restaurant we tried in Sayulita. Excellent service, food and drinks.

Best drinks in Sayulita...& we tried a bunch of them! Classy & cute. Patio seating is a huge plus for night drinking & people watching! Tried all the margaritas on the menu...loved them all! Bartender was making "surprise me" vodka based drinks for our crew & all were amazing! We didn't eat here but loved drinking here...highly recommend!!! read more

Best tacos! My boyfriend got the fried marlin which fried the whole taco and left the marlin raw- super cool! I got the fish taco which was the best out of the two. Based on the fish taco alone, this is the best taco place I've been to in my life. Also the local beers were great! read more

Friendly service and inexpensive, but one person in our group has been sick for two days after we had dinner there. The seafood in the seafood salad, supposedly prepared in the ceviche style and served just before the café closed for the day, seemed simply raw. Her trip has been spoiled for two days. Can't recommend it. read more

Great food, great service....there was a band from local musicians playing in a table right next to us, we invite them a round of beers and then invite us a round of mezcal shots hahaha....great experience. We are vegan, the burrito and the tacos were perfect for us, great taste. read more

They have some of the best fish tacos, I have ever eaten. The fish along with the veggies on the taco were super fresh. I also loved all the different sauces and salsas you can add to your food. I could eat the tacos here everyday and you can't beat the prices! read more

Doesn't look like much and there isn't much description in the menu. But prepare to be dazzled. The shrimp ceviche is super tangy from a generous dose of line and the cilantro flavor is really nicely high lit. The marlin tostadas are done perfectly with a generous amount of supple avocado and a wonderfully seasoned fish. Two super thin and tasty tostada shells underneath support the weight and cracked with just the right of amount of crunch. They offer two cream sauces and three salsas that are worth experimenting with depending on your heat preference or love of creamy sauces. Less than $200 pesos for a nicely sized lunch. read more

Very yummy and great service. They made us fresh guacamole and fresh salsa. The shrimp tacos are SO good and the prices are great. It is very small though. read more

This place was a pleasant surprise! The paella was delicious, the service was exceptional, and the atmosphere was perfect! Gracias, Barracuda! read more

One of our absolute favorites in this adorable town. We were in Sayulita for a week and are here every day craving the fresh fish tacos. It was so nice to walk up from the beach after surfing stop in have some drinks and tacos and head back to surf. We tried everything. It's all delish. Can't wait to come back! read more

Best place to get small portions of food for decent price. We always want light lunch so their single tacos of shrimp, marlin etc are very tasty! Very good margaritas! Great place to relax for lunch. read more

Excellent food, great location, open air seating, fantastic live band. Came here with two children and they were excited to have some pasta for a change of pace from tacos. Enjoyed the pina coladas and the special of the day. Good people watching. read more
