El Barracuda Punta de Mita

Bar/restaurant directly on the beach. They have some very nice food, including fish tacos and fried shrimp tacos. Overall, the restaurant has an extremely nice vibe for a relaxed meal and drinks! Would recommend making a reservation, as it gets quite busy!

Amazing atmosphere located right at the beach. The food was excellent and I forgot to take photos.... service was spot on, and the entire staff are friendly and very attentive to the customers. Great place for a day trip off the beaten path in the middle of nowhere.

Barracuda, Punta Mita: Fresh Seafood with an Ocean View Barracuda in Punta Mita is the kind of place that perfectly captures the laid-back, flavorful essence of a great beachfront seafood spot. With fresh fish and shellfish, an inviting atmosphere, and a solid cocktail menu, it’s an ideal place to enjoy with family and friends. The chimpachole is a standout—rich, comforting, and full of deep seafood flavor. If you’re in the mood for something crispy, the chicharrón de pescado is a must, and the quesadillas de marlin are packed with smoky, delicious flavor. Their Palomas are great, but it would be even better if they used fresh grapefruit juice instead of soda. Still, with the ocean view, good drinks, and excellent seafood, Barracuda is a spot worth visiting if you’re in Punta Mita.

Such a fantastic experience - the food flavors are creative and it’s clearly made by a chef who loves making delicious food! Casual enough to wear your bathing suit to; fancy enough to talk about it endlessly when you’re back home. Definitely recommend for dinner or beachside lunch!

OMG! The view,food,service ,staff All was excellente I Will be back !

Honestly this place is for tourist. The only reason I’d ever come again is for the beach that it’s located on. The food however was extremely disappointing especially since we ordered dishes that was most recommended/popular here. I sat with a table of 8 and no one liked the food. It was extremely expensive with small portion sizes and lacked flavor especially their ceviches that didn’t even have any lime or salt. If you come here I’d recommend just ordering a drink so you can get beach access.

Beach front restaurant! Location is perfect for enjoying the sunset. Getting to the restaurant was a bit complicated because we had to take an off beat road that led to a rural village before reaching the restaurant. During the day it’s fine to drive here not sure how safe it is at night. The restaurant caters to expats. Aside from offering the fresh local seafood. They also offer burgers, ribs and fries. If you go for a cocktail pick one of their signature drinks. I had the sangria which was light and not too sweet. We had a few assorted plates of seafood: octopus, shrimp cocktail and Peruvian ceviche. All plates had a creamy texture. Service here was slow. Drinks came out fast but food and bill took forever. Tip: make a reservation. We arrived without and were lucky to get a table. Waitress mentioned the place gets packed for dinner and sometimes they do not take walk ins.

A great seafood restaurant in the middle of nowhere but worth a trip. Amazing view as well. Fortunately we were staying at an airbnb steps away from the restaurant. Had fish and chips. Chips need some help but the breaded Maui Maui took F&C to the next level. Grilled octopus was excellent, a dish I never order. We will definitely return before leaving.
