Visited this place Saturday and it was nice. Drinks were good and had me feeling even better..lol! Food was good, everything is freshly chopped and served. Only thing that threw me off was when I saw pomegranate seeds on my taco (I ordered three fish tacos) but it still was edible and good. Parking was challenging, you will have to walk…and the pricing is inexpensive!!! & the customer service was nice as well.

Took the Ferry over to Algiers solely to come to the Barracuda taco stand (and sure to also say we crossed the Mississippi while in NOLA.

It was 32 degrees and 100% humidity (over 90 I guess for Americans) so needless to say it was HOT and the walk from the ferry to the stand was brutal because of it.

Knowing what I know now, I would have walked through straight fire to get more of these tacos, chips and queso. We've back in Australia for a week and my husband (he just got two beef) has brought up several times that he didn't realise how good they were at the time.

I ordered 3 tacos, Pork, Beef and a Chicken, rated from 1-3 in the written order. From the tortilla, to how the meat was spiced and cooked as well as the varied toppings that accompanied each taco, these were phenomenal and a must visit if you're in New Orleans, quite possibly my favourite meal the whole time I was there. We also had the chips with queso which were delicious and chips were refillable!

Everyone who worked there was super nice as well and really friendly - which was world's apart from the majority of service we received.

The venue is also SUPER cute, outdoor seating only with big umbrellas, would be the perfect place to spend a day with friends and drink and eat your way through their menu.

Fun outdoor patio and tacos worthy or writing home about. The fish taco has a sauce that is SPICY so if you're sensitive ask for it on the side. The margaritas were super smooth and yummy. A fun place!

Love the food at the uptown location. Just disappointed that when we arrived at this location (Algiers), it was closed. It's my hubbys bday and we planned to come have lunch here bc it's close. Only complaint is to update your business hours bc it set our day back a little.
