Barracuda was one of my favorite meals during my time in New Orleans. It embodies a relaxed outdoor…read moreatmosphere that most other restaurant in Algier's point also have, making it perfect for a casual lunch or dinner after exploring the neighborhood. I ordered the Shrimp Macha tacos, and they were excellent. The shrimp were cooked well, and the macha sauce added a great balance of smoky heat and flavor without overpowering the tacos. Everything tasted fresh, and each taco felt thoughtfully put together. Overall, Barracuda is a spot I'd happily recommend. Between the quality of the food, the laid-back atmosphere, and the fair value, it's an easy place to come back to the next time I'm in New Orleans.

Love finding authentic and fresh tacos! And easy to take leftovers home too. They had bathrooms that were air conditioned so that was refreshing on a hot July summer evening. The staff were very friendly. Only outside eating. It is just a window stand to order and then get your food. But they had misting fans going and a cold water jug. I would recommend this spot to anyone traveling to New Orleans.

Fortunately they do online orders with Toast so I put in an order for a shrimp taco and a trio of pastor tacos. Picked up, went back to the hotel, and dug in. In terms of flavor, it's not bad for the price. I've had better tacos elsewhere but the proteins were seasoned fine and the green salsa added to the flavor. In terms of price, it is affordable for the size of the tacos. The packaging could've been better; upon opening the boxes, some of the tacos spilled over (specifically the shrimp) so had to knife/fork it. Noticed they use flour tortillas so it's a bit thicker than corn. Can't remember if corn is an option. While the taco game is not the strongest in NOLA, I'd be open to trying these again; maybe eating at the restuarant next time instead of walking it back to the hotel.

Also made us pay again for the 2 missing items because we ordered them again.

Fresh seafood from the Gulf of MEXICO and a wicked drink menu. They offer several ceviches. Tapas include guacamole, empanadas, crawfish queso, fish dip and veggie salads like crispy cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. We had the crispy cauliflower served with tempura, cashew habanero crema, garbanzo hash, and chimichurri. Loads of flavor and just the right bite size for tapas/apps. Plates include churrasco, fish and grits, paella (can be served veggie or without shellfish if you're allergic), lamb, Yucatan style pork, shrimp or steak mofongo, and chicken poblano. I had the churrasco, served with papas bravas. Steak cooked perfectly and seasoned perfectly. My husband had the steak mofongo and the beef tips, like the churrasco, were seasoned perfectly. The plantain mash was sweet and somehow savory at the same time. We loved both dishes. They make mean margaritas and caipirinhas hre, and also offer drinks like the paloma, the Bolivian sour, sangria, and specialty drinks. Service was amazing. She was so upbeat and helpful. This restaurant was a little slow when we went. It deserves a lot more love. It's so close to the touristy part of the French Quarter. Leave the gimmicky spots and come here, you won't regret it.

A quick heads-up: expect a line, and the outdoor waiting area has absolutely no shade. Fortunately, the ordering counter is well-covered, and the patio is equipped with fans and a good mix of shaded seating to help you beat the heat. On to the food. Every taco is served on a fresh flour tortilla and paired with classic cilantro, onion, and lime. I tried the Crispy Fish and the Pork tacos, and the flavor profiles were distinct. The fish taco featured a great crunch from the beer-battered Louisiana catfish, balanced by shredded cabbage, homemade crema, a seriously spicy salsa macha, and sweet pops of pomegranate. However, the pork taco was the best of the two, packed with savory roasted pork, chicharrones, tangy pickled red onion, and a great green salsa on the side. I have pretty high standards for tacos, and while I've had better, Barracuda definitely delivers an enjoyable meal in a city where great taquerias can be hard to find.

This should be a good pop in your mouth. It was just mush. Also had two chicken tortilla soups delivered. The avocado and all the toppings were tossed in it already (with the exception of the tortilla strips---but those were burned). Should be on the side so you can put it fresh when you get it home as to not change the texture. And to call it chicken is wild. I had some mealy crumbles at the bottom that I wish they'd have just pulled out completely and only had the broth. $40 order later and I cant eat any of it.

I will say the burrito was a little odd, maybe this is the traditional Cuban way to make a burrito but it wasn't what I expected. It was in an orange tortilla and had grilled marks, I was looking forward to a more traditional flour tortilla. Also there was spring mix lettuce in it which felt like a weird choice. Lastly it didn't have a lot of meat in it. So I'd definitely return for apps and drinks outside, but would order something other than the burrito
