Back to my old favorite, now at their new location. A little smaller inside, but still plenty of seating with 8 places at the bar and 9 tables for up to 4 people. I got my standby, large Cuban sandwich and side of beans and rice. Just as delicious as I remember. Same family (husband/wife duo). Everything was perfect. Cuban hot and crispy with just the right amount of meat/cheese, pickles, mustard/mayo. NO lettuce or tomatoes on the Cuban, the PROPER WAY! read more

After reading many great reviews on local FB S/M posts we decided to finally give "The Barracuda Deli" on Seminole Blvd a try as we are hüge fans of a great pressed Cuban sandwich. Formerly the "Pickle Barrel" about a decade ago, this family owned & operated restaurant has been making their customers smile for at least 8 years now at this location originated in St Pete Beach prior. It's a clean and quaint old fashioned sort of corner diner that makes one feel like they are visiting their parents/grandparents for a great family dish that just satisfies the appetite and then some. Advertising as a fusion of Caribbean-Cuban fare the menu is simple and straightforward but their rock star is the Pressed Cuban Sandwich w/Red Beans & Rice. There are ample sandwiche options and everything we've tried was 4.8 stars or better... Desserts are homemade in house and change weekly but the Piña-Colada Cake was my personal favorite with Tequila-Lime being second. Black Beans & Rice are as good as they get but personally feel the Red Beans & Rice are a little tastier and my fav! Only open till about 5pm, this is definitely a great corner deli style restaurant worth checking out! The service is extremely welcoming like you are visiting family - eager, smiling and wanting to please. There are also dinner meal options that have commanded our attention like Enchiladas with Mojo Pork that were very delicious. There are many places to east but The Barracuda Deli is of exceptional value!!! We highly recommend a visit and soon! read more

The husband makes an awesome tres leche cake, pina colada, and flan. And of course you have to get the cafe con leche. Check it out you won't be disappointed! read more

If you are looking for a place that has solid food and no frills, this would be the spot. It's kind of plain inside, but the food and service are good. We stopped in for lunch the other day, I ordered the greek salad with grilled chicken, and my friend had the burrito bowl. Both items were fresh and had a good flavor, a solid meal, nothing fancy. The feta was mild the way I like it, and the potato salad didn't have a ton of mayonnaise. Perfect for what i was craving. Great lunch spot read more

This was an amazing experience, a true hidden gem. From the very first bite, we knew we would love this place. The Cuban was the best I've ever had. Maduros (sweet plantains) were perfect as well. The pulled chicken soft tacos were great & the fresh homemade salsa was amazing. We willl definitely be back soon! We want to try one of the many desserts; tiramisu, flan, cheesecake and the one I'm looking forward to is the guava cheesecake. read more

Good food- I had the quesadilla with black beans. Excellent taste! Will be coming back.

Awesome mojo pork and Cuban sandwiches. Nice staff, seems family owned. Reasonable prices too

We found this little gem several years ago when they were on St Pete Beach... when we came down for vacation this year we were sad to see it closed in St Pete but relieved after we googled it to see they had moved about 25 mins away to Seminole, FL. This place is soo Good The sandwiches are fresh and flavorful and best rice and beans! Very reasonable pricing and staff is so friendly. HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

I went to a previous location before covid, tried going and tracked down this location because it is the best Cuban sandwich. Everyone is very friendly and service was excellent. And for $12 you have sandwich to take home for another meal. The combination of flavors just make it a superior sandwich to many chain restaurants around St Pete. The fries were crispy and with the hot sauce were delicious. This is my favorite restaurant when I come to town. read more

This place is sooo good and the owners are very kind and welcoming. It's an old school diner vibe with great food and service. No frills which is ok with me.

I challenge you to find a better Cuban restaurant in the Tampa Bay area than Barracuda Deli Cafe on Seminole Blvd! All the food is absolutely mouthwateringly delicious! It is nearly impossible to stop yourself from overeating because you really want to finish everything on your plate! The service is delivered by an authentic and adorable abuela adorned with a simple hairnet, smiling eyes, and a gentle grin! The mojo pork is so tender, moist, and flavorful and accompanied perfectly with lightly grilled onions. The yellow rice is nicely seasoned and so comforting when topped with your choice of red or black beans! The toasted cuban bread offers a pleasant textural crunch! And the side salad with its homemade vinaigrette brings a bit of freshness and acidity to the meal! Please, try this place! You will not regret it! Also, they have perfectly sweetened sweet iced tea! Five stars all around! read more

My my my. The solid 5 stars brought us in but the food and family will be bringing us back. There isn't much to add here that everyone else hasn't already said. We had chicken enchiladas and mojo pork and it was just perfection. I've never had such juicy tender chicken inside an enchilada before. Super fresh crisp veggies in the pico, the salad, inside the enchilada. Who does that? And the rice. Make that The Rice. I had black beans, hubby had red. Both were delicious but THE RICE was so flavorful it was literally the best either of us have ever had. The homemade flan was amazing - mama told us the secret is lemon zest. The family running the place is sweet and friendly you just couldn't ask for a more pleasant experience. One small tip - there are some older reviews and pix showing breakfast but alas that is no more. Barracuda is open for lunch and dinner. They announce their Friday night specials on Facebook. read more

The iced tea was fresh and good- a good iced tea is always an accurate indicator of a good restaurant! The bowl was served in a crispy light tortilla, cooked to perfection. The contents were really good- I had the vegetable option. The tres leches was delicious- served on sweetened condensed milk. The service was incredible and warm- I felt like I stepped into an Abuela's kitchen! I am so excited that I stumbled upon this yummy place by accident! My new favorit read more

If you're around this area and looking for a quit bit. Give this place a try. read more

Awesome sandwiches! Love the Italian Stallion. Of course you can't go wrong with the Cuban. Yoy won't be disappointed.

I had a friend visit from out of town that wanted a Cuban pressed sandwich. We went to the Barracuda & he had the Cuban, I had the cheese enchiladas. Both were out of this world! Delicious! Best I've ever had! The owners were adorable, gracious and welcoming. I'm definitely going back again. The portions were huge. More than we could eat. read more

Only thing I can say omg the sandwich is off the hook with the rice beans. I made effort on my bucket list to try Cuban sandwich will visiting Florida for my job. Definitely the restaurant is moms and pops feel and so welcoming makes you feel at home. Being from Cali and Mexican/American me had this definitely bomb. The music is awesome too. read more

We had the large Cuban with a side of rice & beans and a chicken- pepper jack Cuban with a side of potato salad. Delicious!! Bread was crispy outside, tender inside and the iced tea was some of the best we've had during our trip to the Indian Shores Beach area. Quick service, friendly staff, and clean. Will visit again! read more

I was in the area and looked up the highest rated restaurants nearby. Fortunately for me, this one popped up pretty high on the list, so I made a bee-line to it. Lucky for me, I arrived at about 6:00 PM, not aware that they closed at 7:00 pm. I was the only customer there at the time. The staff was very friendly. Turns out it was the owner's Momma. He was very friendly as well, and sweet to his mother. That counts for me. She tried to talk me into a Cuban, but I opted for the Don in the small size. She told me it was still a good choice. You can get various choices, so I took the Red Beans and Rice with freshly chopped onions. If you intend to come here and order a large, you'd better bring an appetite. Between the small and the red beans and rice, I was about to bust a gut. I can only imagine someone eating this much food. You'd have to be a bigger man (or woman) than me. The Red Beans and Rice are easily a meal by themselves and I could have eaten more of them because the flavor was incredible. The sandwich was extremely fulfilling - and filling. Between the owner's attitude and the food, this is a definite do-over. I can enjoy the food and watching him treat his mother with such respect. It's a win-win. read more

Great sandwich options. We really enjoyed the Reuben and this will be our go to since our last trusted spot closed. The cuban was good but I have another place for that craving closer to my house. Varied menu and everyone was pleased. read more

I ordered a Cuban sandwich and potato salad The potato salad was perfect, it had red potatoes I think with skin and celery'. I ordered a large Definitely big enough for two people especially if they both got their own potato salad The service was fast and very pleasant The atmosphere is very very simple I'm from Florida and grew up eating Cuban sandwiches I haven't had one for a while but I thought they always asked if you wanted it pressed or not . Mine came pressed, I also remember the bread not tasting like the bread they served, like the texture was different Nonthe less I'd definitely suggest this place and go back Next time I'll get some chips and salsa The salsa looked good read more

We love their Cuban coffee con leche and are happy they are serving it again! We had the delicious hot pastrami sandwich with potato salad and platnos. You must eat here. read more

They are very warm and welcoming here. I ordered a Rueben and potato salad. Omg, amazing! Best potato salad and Rueben in Pinellas county!

I stopped here in search of a Cuban sandwich and was not disappointed. In fact I was extremely pleased. The portions are huge and they are very generous with the meat. They use salami, ham and roast beef so some may have an issue with the authenticity, but I loved it. You can tell the place is run with love. I don't know their names but the wife will serve you at the table with a smile and the husband will cook things up. They have a tres leches cake that looked amazing but I was too full to try it. If you're not coming in here for lunch, you're missing out! read more
