Quality was very good each time I ate here. The owner served me more than once and I was delighted by the freshness of everything. Very Good spot to eat. The location on the water is perfect.

There were a total of 3 tables at that point including ours. My son came back excited because the owner had given him two five dollar bills as change. He... More

We have been staying in Bocas for about three weeks and have tried many restaurants. I have given excellent reviews to several. However our experience at Barracuda rates a poor.

However, we visited twice and on both occasions a number of options were not available.....these included a range of cocktails (they'd run out of limes even though the supermarkets had plenty), various pastas (it's an italian restaurant that mostly serves...

Barracuda provided excellent food and nice views of the ocean. We ordered the pizza, which was very fresh.

Good service, fine price and the staff were nice. Able to sit by the sea and have a beer in peace or meet people before progressing to happy hours!
