Ordered a bucket of beer, they " forgot" to bring it, but sure as hell didn't forget to charge me. Yeah ruined the vibe, you guys suck!

Very fun atmosphere with great food! Definitely going back with a group of friends! Service from our Waiter was great! Dinner chosen was MOLCAKETE MIXTO - split with the two of us - perfecto! read more

Watermelon or Cucumber Margaritas are outstandingly different. Lava Bowl (Molcajete) with choices of fillings are served sizzling hot and are our new favorites. read more

Miguel is the best server. The food is excellent. The watermelon margarita and mango margarita are the best. Ambiance is fun, welcoming and lighthearted. We have been back every day of our trip. read more

Someone at the pool overheard my wife and discussing going out to dinner for a date night while vacationing in Nuevo Vallarta and she recommended this place and I'm so glad we did. We were staying at Vidanta and this was an easy walk down the beach and then over to the street side. We ended up collectively having three cocktails, a beer, two appetizers, a shared main dish, and dessert and our total was about $60 USD. The food was amazing and they brought us a complimentary after dinner drink. The staff was friendly, the place was very clean, and we were there during COVID and they made us feel safe, wore masks, and gave us sanitizer on our way in. Awesome vibes, great date night, looking forward to dining there again next year! read more

El Barracuda - The only picture I took while there, I ordered their craft IPA and it was great after a week of Corona. - Seafood Near Me - Nuevo Vallarta, NAY

Best food in Mexico. The service was amazing. Alexandria the mixologist made me a kick butt drink. Eugenia the violinist was wonderful.

I left here feeling disappointed but ate some good food??? Feels very upscale. Super cool vibe. Love the branding & lights. What I don't love is that they have specials & items they're known for, yet we're sold out. I went to eat here on a typical weekday evening at typical time. They were sold out of the red snapper, which they're supposed to be known for. Then I ordered "the catch of the day" which was mahi-mahi. This plate came out and was absolutely terrible. I then did not make a scene, but ordered their special for that day which was shrimp enchiladas. Tbh I can't stop thinking about these enchiladas. They were incredible. We also got Guac for the table- incredible. Then we wanted desert, fried ice cream, which was their special. Sold out. Just felt really frustrating that I went there for snapper- sold out. Ordered catch of the day- so gross. Got a great second meal- had to pay for both (maybe I should have complained?!). Ordered desert- sold out. The waiter was amazing though!! read more

The vibe is great, well worth the 20 minutes walk from Vidanta. Awesome food for the money.

Food is great, the best octopus in town. Red snapper, awesome. Nacho is a great waiter and the entire staff give great service. Some nights there is live music and don't leave without trying the chocolate cake, you will thank me. read more

Well this place is certainly off the beaten path, low key, friendly staff, and tasty food. The hubby and I shared the fish (mahi mahi ) and shrimp, steamed, and were pleasantly surprised at the variety of flavors packed into this dish. It came with rice but after having smacked on the fresh chips and salsa found ourselves full and quite satisfied. read more

Excelente!!! Amazing lil gem in Nuevo Vallarta! The ambiance is very cool, outdoor seating with a cool chill type of vibe. We ordered steak and shrimp and another plate of coconut shrimp and salad. Coconut shrimp is hands down amazing!!! Better than any place else ive been. Steak was flank but it was very tender, juicy and delicious! Good selection of wine, I like whites mostly and it was great, beer was great too. Sammy the waiter is awesome! Great experience! Coming back next September and will come here 2-3 times that week! read more

We happened upon El Barracuda while walking down the beach and were we ever surprised. The vegan burger and guacamole were superb. And finding vegan food is no easy task here. My wife had the steamed fish and sangria which were fabulous. Our server Miguel was so friendly and the place had a great vibe with a gentle breeze and fans that were just what we needed to escape the sun. Will definitely return during our week visit. read more

Love the staff-engaged and not afraid to make recommendations. Food very good! Really enjoyed cheese and shrimp appetizer especially.

I'll keep this short. AWESOME. If you don't try this place, your loss. FANTÁSTICO! read more

We have eaten here at least once every year for the past eight or so years and were always happy with the food and experience. The experience is still ok although more like an American sports bar now. The waiters are personable and fun but the food quality has deteriorated in my opinion. My wife had prawns in butter and garlic...pretty hard to screw up. The prawns were overcooked to the point of being tough and chewy. My snapper was overcooked and dry as well. The beer was good. All in all, probably our last visit to El Barracuda read more

Stopped in for lunch one of the days on our vacation, as we are not they types to hang at the resort pool all day. Cute decor, the orange hanging lanterns are funny, kind of genius construction. Who ever made them, good idea! Our server was great, attentive and good suggestions for the menu, definitely attempted to upsell but we weren't terribly hungry. Suggested the octopus ajillo pepper chicharron for me after some conversation about what I like, spicy, cheese, seafood, yes yes and yes! Basically they're mini quesadillas w fried cheese crisps inside and then the protein of your choice. Excellent! Boyfriend had the shrimp and chorizo tacos. Also excellent Chips and salsa options were good, drinks were good, we would definitely return if we vacation in Nuevo again. read more

Yummmmm and yummmmm. Second visit tonight and was equally as fabulous as my first. Food is fresh and fabulous. Service is amazing. Yummmm

They don't open until noon. We got there 10 minutes early but they sat us anyway and told us they would bring our drink order. The waiter was friendly and spoke excellent English. The restaurant was clean and nice. I ordered Santa Lucia octopus. My friend ordered tuna sashimi. Both dishes were excellent. Octopus was tasty and chewy. We will be back read more

As we visited downtown Nuevo Vallarta we came across this place that we recognized as being recommended to us at our resort. We expected it to be amazing as recommend. It was not five star as recommended however the service was great, the food was okay and the prices we're comparable to neighboring restaurants. read more

Make sure to eat at El Barracuda when in Nuevo Vallarta or Puerto Vallarta. This rustic restaurant has some of the best food in Mexico. Tonight is our 3rd visit in a week. Fresh fish, grilled steak, tacos and much more. Friendly and attentive staff. Looking forward to my next vacation in NV. read more

This place was absolutely amazing! The food was delicious, the staff was super friendly and kind. We stayed at the Vidanta and we were hesitant about walking back. Our waiter kindly walked us to the entrance of the hotel that we needed to pass through (Vidanta owns it as well) in order to walk back using the beach. Great food, great service, a great walk back.... I highly highly recommend going to this place! If I could have given more than 5 stars I would! read more

This met the high expectations I had for accessible, authentic Mexican. We just had a late lunch here and our group thoroughly enjoyed the Molcajete dishes and the service! I also ordered a watermelon margarita which was good but it wasn't anything super memorable. The space is clean, and the food was very fresh and of high quality ingredients. Highly recommend this place for a cheaper bite that is flavourful and not short on giving you the true Mexican experience. read more

Discovered this place through one of the resort employees. Great food....one of the better local eatery! Loved the Red Snapper....whole fried fish...excellent dish...enough to share with another person. Coconut shrimp and rib eye steak...just ok. Their salsas and chips were very SPICY! It's an outdoor seating only...expect flies to attack your food. My daughter had an octopus dish...very blend and tasteless. Skip it...just order the red snapper and you won't be disappointed! read more

Everything we ordered (tuna poke, catch of the day mahi mahi ceviche, and coconut shrimp) was so flavorful and delicious! I wish we found this place sooner than our last night because we would've definitely gone back. Everything people ordered looked amazing! Service was great and as were the prices. 10/10 from both my boyfriend and I! read more

Fantastic experience last night for dinner with our family. We walked from Vindanta along the beach and had an amazing meal. The Mocajete was yummy...steak, mahi, scallops, octopus, cheese, salsa, all sizzing in a volcano rock pot...pure joy. Big enough for two to split, served with fresh, warm tortillas and chopped avocados. Loved the fresh salsa as well. Our sons split the full rack of ribs and they loved it. They are very picky eaters so that is amazing in itself. Try the cucumber margarita. Service was the best I have had in a restaurant in a long time. Sami was friendly, attentive, and helpful. He even shared some tips about visiting Punta Mita. He made us feel like royalty, which lets face it, memorable service is about how someone makes you feel. Sami gave us service similar to a 5 star restaurant. Prices were very good, especially in comparison to Vindanta. We will be going back there a few more times this week. Highly recommend. Thank you Yelp family for the great suggestion. It is worth the small walk along the beach from Vindanta to try this restaurant. read more

Been coming to Nuevo Vallarta invert 24 years. This place is the best ever. Everyone had a heat dish.

We came here because of the excellent Yelp reviews and it did not disappoint. Food was spectacular and the service was outstanding. I felt like a regular, the staff was so friendly. The drinks were also out of this work. I recommend the strawberry tini. read more

Food was very good. Service delightful. Accommodated allergies. Brought us dessert drinks on the house. Highly recommend!

This was the best Mahi Mahi I have ever had. Mahi Mahi topped with mushrooms and Gaujillo chili. Perfection! The staff here is consistent year to year. Great guys amazing food! read more

We had two great meals here while staying at Vidanta, totally worth the walk down the beach to get there. Our waiter, Ricardo, is as good as it gets and every drink, appetizer and meal was excellent. Much less expensive than any of the more expensive restaurants on property and better food. read more

We got here near closing but they let us in and served us amazing food and drink and the hospitality was exceptional. Most importantly the food is the BOMB! read more
