Barracuda Taco Stand

Damn. This is the kind of place I wish I had in my neighborhood! I'm so glad we wandered over to this part of town and got to experience it!First and foremost -- the tacos were great! Classic options + some more adventurous ones, and all of them were fantastic. (My favorite was the fish taco! So delish!) Good options for vegetarians and also kids. Great drinks as well.Staff were warm and friendly and made me feel welcome even though I was just a one-time tourist. (Shout out to KK -- I hope she checks out Ms. Marvel!)Accessibility: The bathrooms are two single-stall options, wheelchair accessible, all-gender, with changing tables in each one. THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT!Parenting: There is a fenced-in little playground/tot lot across the street. So you could absolutely order a bunch of food, walk across the street, and peacefully have a meal while your kids play safely nearby. For parents of young kids, it doesn't get much better than that!One final thing: We had a local as our Lyft driver the next day and were talking about where we'd been, and he 100% validated it as a top spot. So there you go -- tourists and locals agree!

Barracuda's food quality is well above all other Mexican restaurants in New Orleans. All of the tacos are fantastic, and I am a fan of the bowls. The beans, the guacamole, the fish and meats, the proper queso and pickled onions are all distinct and delicious. The format is an order-at-entrance and deliver-to-table method, and the overall experience is very pleasant. They are swift and the backyard visibly reminds me of a Costa Rican open air restaurant.The margaritas are very tasty.Gotta love the very ample, and much of it covered, outdoor seating.

I almost feel conflicted writing this review. This is one of my favorite little spots in Algiers Point, and I almost don't wanna share. I'm sure everyone knows already and I'm just not wanting anybody else to find out about my taco spot!I like minding my business and getting my eat on at this cute little gem in the point, it has everything to add to your zen. Which includes great table side service, calming atmosphere, peaceful outdoor seating rain or shine + tacos. I mean, where can you go wrong?The tacos I really can't judge because I'm a natural taco girl. That makes me bias, however, they can be off sometimes and depending on who the cook is determines the taco outcome, which is never bad, but if you get there for that morning crew, you will never be disappointed & all the flavors will hit all the time.

This restaurant was a recommendation by someone at the Port of New Orleans. These were the best tacos I've ever had. The fish tacos were so good! I went back a second time during my NOLA visit and tried the chicken and pork tacos as well. If you're in the area I'd definitely recommend stopping by and getting TWO fish tacos!

Easy five stars here! Upon walking up for my first visit and first order here, Kairi greeted me with her big smile and personality! She went through the entire menu, shared with me what the favorites were. I ordered what was recommended (crispy catfish taco and beef taco). Both were very good! The beef option served here is chunks of sirloin steak. The catfish was made to order and oh so good (look at the pomegranates on top). For a side, I ordered corn in a cup which is basically elote. Seating is all outdoors with spray fans strategically placed. Restrooms are available. Complimentary iced water is self serve. A truly must visit when in this area of New Orleans, La. Dine local, Enjoy!

This is a cute little taco stand in Algiers. Tacos were decent but in my opinion nothing spectacular. They need some seasoning . I've had better tacos. I was excited to try the queso but it really isn't seasoned at all. The margarita was pretty tasty. My fav taco was the broccoli taco but I got it on flour tortillas. I'll go back but it'll be a walk not a run. Service was great, friendly.

I bara-could-ah eat here every day. The crispy fish tacos were swimmingly delightful, the beef was a-mooooo-zing, the chicken one made me cluck for joy, the mushroom taco didn't leave mush-room for fault, and the house made tortillas made me do a little dancey dance. The atmosphere is incredible as it twirls with music and bright benches in an outdoor area that accepts dogs, and even provides bags and water for them.

We took a rare trip over to Algiers and discovered this awesome little Taco Stand. It was a bit chilly and seating is only outside but there were heaters to keep it comfortable. I added jalapeño to my margarita and boy was it's spicy! Just like I like it. The pork tacos came with little bits of pork rinds on top, genius and delicious! Chicken tacos were full of flavor. The queso and guacamole were also nice to start with. Service was fast and friendly. I really enjoyed the visit and can't wait to go back.

Love the charm of this Barracuda!! It's soo cute, quaint, cozy, and tucked away. If I lived in the neighborhood, I'd be having tacos weekly! Their operation is a bit more laid back than on Tchop, and I like it! There's not nearly as much seating, but anytime I've wanted to sit, I could. The quality of food taste and quantity is comparable with Tchop...you really can't beat the Happy Hour. I'm so glad I finally gave them a try! I'll be cheating on Tchop again sometime soon, for sure lol.

I love this little taco haven!On a recent visit to the area, I stopped in with a couple of colleagues. Parking was easy to find and we found a table with no problem.We walked up to the counter where we ordered our food. While the menu isn't huge, it definitely has a nice variety.Because it was the workday I couldn't try their margs but I did get a hibiscus tea that was delicious.For my entree I went with the chicken bowl. Imagine the size of a chipotle bowl but packed with much more flavor! It was very filling and didn't break the bank. I cannot wait to come back!
