The complementary taco/sauce was a good starter. We had fried fish which came with side of salad, small portion of very delicious rice! I would like to order the flan, maybe next time! Overall authentic experience read more

Caipirinha and tequila sunrise. Overall a good place to eat but we never felt like we were gonna come back also took a long time to get the check and forgot to bring are nachos. read more

You MUST get the ceviche here! It was the best I've ever had and huge portions! We decided to get away from the hotel scene and try a place the locals had recommended. . So glad we did. The shrimp fajitas were to die for, we didn't order lobster but saw one being walked by and wished we did. Service was fast and servers were great! read more

La Barracuda Tulum - Ceviche - Seafood Near Me - Tulum, ROO

Craziest dinner ever. After waiting 45 minutes for my food to come out one finally did. After that person finished eating another came out, so our 3rd person still had no food an hour later. Server said they were really busy and understaffed. Ok, so use less tables so your customers can get quality service. Needless to say after n hour we pod for what we ate and left before the 3rd item came out. : / Bad service and bad food. They didn't even have fish ceviche or lobster available as they ran out. My piña colada was horrible and had no alcohol in it and was watered down. read more

Horrible service, waiter had horrible attitude, most of the stuff was not sold from the menu! I was told this was a good to eat but I regret coming here!! Good was not even that good I recommend you stay away and go in front of here to Camello! read more

Unpleasantly surprised after all the good reviews for this place. Shrimp coctel turned out to be a sundae glass full of tomato ketchup - sickly sweet without a hint of citrus or heat. Prawns with coconut were fine but came with tasteless boiled veg and, again, diabetically sweet sauce. The portions are large, but that's hardly a bonus when they're inedible. The atmosphere is okay if you like sports TV. read more

Enjoyed a dinner of the fish prepared with banana leaves and tomatoe/onions/peppers! Excellent! Friendly service.

Good quality, fresh products, fair prices. Enjoyed lunch there and had a fried fresh fish. It came with rice and salat. Price was around 100 pesos. As an entry they served nachos with different sauces. I also ordered guacamole which was really good. It's not a chef location but you'll get good Mexican food for fair money. I keep this in mind giving the 4 stars for food. Service was fast and friendly and the server even showed me the fresh fish before preparing it! Location is medium since it is located downtown right next to the main street. Lots of noise and cars passing. Nothing to become romantic about. 1 star less for the location. Therefore, the quality to price ratio is really good! read more

The food was absolutely trash. The caipirinha was good. We order the calamari, and the fish tacos. The fish tacos were literally some soggy tortillas, and some on flavorful grilled fish. Nothing else. The grilled calamari tasted like a rubber band. Perhaps I would prefer the rubber band. We originally came to get that dish that other offers were raving about four or five different seafood for less than 300 pesos, we were sad to find out that they no longer have the dish for that price. It is now 500 pesos and serves three or 6 people instead of two. Judging by the flavor of the calamari, we were so glad we did not get that dish. The bathrooms were very terrible also. They were dirty and the toilet was clogged. We have eaten at various other amazing restaurant in Tulum, save your money and go to el camello jr, or Los famosos, or burrito amor. Trust me you won't regret it. read more

So good. Seafood on point. Arguably the best seafood spot in tulum. Order a lot, they make a spread on a platter. Went back and a simple fish burrito blew me out of the water! read more

What a spot! Service is friendly, food is very good, but it does comes out at a slow pace (so plan to relax and stay awhile) We had the chicken fajitas and the grilled fish tacos - both simple but delicious. We're looking forward to visiting again! read more

We accidentally stumbled on this place Xmas day and it was a Xmas miracle. Wonderful service with delicious ceviche. We have been back twice now, worth it! read more

Amazing seafood, not too crowded and huge selection. I was recommended here by a local. Ordered ceviche and fish tacos as an appetizer, fresh and tasted amazing. The Grilled Seafood Platter for 2-3 people was outstanding, I've never had some much fish, octopus, shrimp and squid in my life! read more

If you're in Tulum, don't pass this restaurant up! We came here on the recommendation of a local guide and the food and service were so amazing we came back the next day as well. Their seafood really sets them apart. The tacos are wonderful, 3 to each order and my favorite were the shrimp and fish. There are different options but I preferred grilled with garlic; they are so flavorful! The seafood platter was beautiful as well and included the freshest mix of fish, shrimp, octopus and squid. It was delicious and more than enough to share amongst 3 - 4 people. We also tried the lobster in season and it was cooked beautifully. Love this place and would recommend it especially for seafood lovers. read more

terrible service and they do not like black people. extremely racist and do not care about you having an enjoyable experience. if i could give 0 stars i would. food was also disgusting and raw read more

Amazing food, prompt service. Three hungry adults got the grilled seafood platter for 3 people and it was great. Plenty of food for 3. The kids got tacos and chicken nachos. The nachos were really good. Overall very good food for the price. Only downside is locals passing by your table to sell their wares. I didn't mind, but I am used to this. The kids were horrified when we said "No gracias." Very good place. read more

Had shrimp and fish tacos...they were both very tasty. I definitely plan on coming back to try out some of their other selections. Very good value as well! read more

This was recommended by locals but I was not impressed. I ordered the shrimp cocktail and the cocktail sauce was sweet, the guacamole was so so and the chips were stale. Most local seafood places don't actually have fresh fish although I hear the ceviche here is pretty good but El Commel is better overall. However, if you are looking for a truly amazing fresh local fish experience, I highly recommend EL PEZ NATIVO just a few block up on the same side of the main street right next to the ice cream place called CampNella?? El Pez Nativo has the best fresh fish I have ever had and the Italian couple who own it catch the fish fresh here in Tulum every morning! You will be blown away! read more

Excellent service. Seafood platter a lot of fun. Off road with outdoor seating. Clean bathrooms.

Good price but most of the grilled food is spiced with heavy load of MSG. Cheap and ok seafood. read more

The ceviche and fish tacos were excellent. Their veggie burrito is phenomenal.

We went on a Sunday night and it was super busy. We were served quickly. There were so many choices on the menu and we finally went with the mixed seafood grill. What a great decision! Great variety of seafood and cooked well. You could tell everything was fresh. So glad we made it here for dinner. read more

Decent fish with an exotic twist. Their cerviches are delicious, especially the shrimps. Fresh and full. This is where locals have seafood. Any order comes with salad and a ball of red rice. Recommended especially after a long day at the beach. read more

Their ceviche mixto is the best I've ever had!! I would say the best seafood in Tulum hands down. My brother loves going there and taking any new people that are visiting Tulum. Highly recommended! read more

La Barracuda was recommended by a local after we had told him that we had already eaten in the other local favorite Camello Jr. ( I wrote another review on this amazing spot ) and this place did not disappoint. We followed his recommendations and the buttered fish filet and mixed seafood ceviche were as good as anything we tried in Camello Jr. The only "downside" is that Camello Jr. is more lively which makes for a memorable experience. However, the food at this local joint was top notch, affordable, and scrumptious ! If you're in Tulum for a few days and in search of cheap good seafood go to Barracuda ! read more

If you love seafood this is the best place!! Food is amazing and fresh, service is excellent! I would definitely go back there when I visit Mexico read more

Their parilladas de mariscos were 290 pesos for a huge calamari, camaron, pescado, and pulpo platter. It was so fresh and affordable that my partner and I came back for a second meal on our last night in Tulum. Attentive service and a great mix of different salsas and beers to choose from as well. read more

This is a solid, solid marisqueria. The ceviche is bar none the best I've had. Not overly lime-y, seasoned just enough to lift the seafood. The pulpo and langosta are better elsewhere in Tulum as they have a tendency to overcook them in my experience, but they score high marks for their shrimp and fish dishes. The ceviche is so good you won't really be too interested in anything else anyway. My recommendation is get your table a big ceviche, and then finish with parillada. Service was excellent, the waiter always knew exactly where we were in the meal, and nothing came too soon or too late, and no one waited for a drink. Outstanding, drag yourself away from the seafood joints that rank higher and go eat here with the locals. You won't regret it. read more

This was one of the best seafood I had while on a two week vacation in Mexico. Their ceviche is delicious as well as their fish tacos. My boyfriend and I split these two dishes and had leftovers. The servers are very attentive and the prices are very reasonable. If you are in the area, this place is definitely worth a try. read more

Food and service was excellent . We called ahead and they stayed open. We had the fish ceviche, guacamole, shrimp tostadas, and fried fish special. The prices are very reasonable and everything tasted fresh . They even let us pick the fish we wanted ! Would return if I could stay longer & would def recommend :-) ! read more

I definitely recommend eating at Barracuda if you're ever visiting Tulum. We asked our cab driver where a good place locals go to eat fresh Mexican-style dishes, and he said that if we wanted fresh seafood Mexican dishes, to go here. The only reason I didn't give it a 5-star rating was because it doesn't look like much on the outside, but do not be fooled. The margarita was delicious and packed a punch, but the tequila sunrise was nothing special. There were four of us total, and we got the fish ceviche to share, along with guacamole, all three different types of tacos (fish, calamari, and shrimp Diavola), and an order of the chicken fajitas. All dishes are highly recommended. The fajitas don't come with tortillas (unless our server just forgot to give them to us), and the fish taco was by far my favorite of the three. Every dish we ordered came with a side of guacamole, so we kind of wish the waiter would have told us this before we ordered a side of it, but it was so delicious we ate it all up. The ceviche was the consensus best dish by all four of us, and is the best tasting, most delicious (and freshest) ceviche any of us have ever had. All around a great experience! read more

amazing seafood and service! this is conveniently located on the Main Street and merits a visit. we ordered the parrillada de Mariscos for two and it was definitely enough food for 3-4. we only ordered fish and shrimp (no octopus or calamari) and it was still plenty. read more

La Barracuda Tulum - parrillada de mariscos for 2. enough food for three! - Seafood Near Me - Tulum, ROO

Excellent value but mixed feelings about food. We had the pulpo and mixto cerviche, fried fresh snapper, and fillet of fish a la plancha (grilled). Portions were big. The cerviche (a little too much vinegar and tomatoes) and snapper (slightly overcooked) execution were good but not excellent. The fillet of fish was flavorful and moist. I would rate it excellent. Wait staff polite and attentive. If I were in Tulum again, I would like to give this place another try. Not touristy. We were the only non-locals eating and the restaurant was fairly full. I saw quite a few diners eating the seafood stew? I would like to try that next time. read more

The overall aesthetic of the restaurant downplays the overall amazing food contained inside. We walked in on the suggestion of Suzy, our concierge at Nueva Vida de Ramiro. We started with some of the freshest fish ceviche I've ever had. It was made with white fish, lime juice, onion and tomato. Then we followed it up with their homemade guacamole and chips with salsa. We were also gifted with a free shrimp broth soup that had just the right amount of briney tang. If you and your companions can each get a different sort of taco, go for it. I had the grilled fish tacos, best friend had the garlic calamari tacos and her husband ordered the shrimp diavola. This provided us with the best opportunity to mix and match tacos. My boyfriend had a delicious chicken fajita platter which is perfect for those wary of seafood. Overall, the experience was awesome, service was friendly and the prices low which is a winning combination. Go for the food. And stay for the love mariachi band and warm hospitality. read more
