Barracuda Sayulita — Restaurant in Nayarit

Im rating the food a 5 because it was really good. My girlfriend was born in Mexico and hardly speaks English and I'm a gringo well on my way to learning Spanish. The treatment I received felt intentional and insulting. Once we were seated, we waited at least 15 minutes for someone to take our order.since my girlfriend speaks perfect Spanish, inlet her order the drinks and oysters for our appetizer and the Marlin burrito with the langosta tacos. We were planning on sharing. We waited for at least 15 to 20 minutes after ordering our drinks and oysters and we finally received our order of oysters and drinks. 30 minutes after that we couldn't find out waiter. A new waiter arrived and we explained our issue. He told me a story how the other waiter left because another table stiffed him. I told him our service shouldn't suffer. I asked him to please just bring us our food and this time please bring me a margarita instead of the long island ice tee that I previously ordered. I felt bad because I felt he was taking the brunt for some other waiter. He then proceeded to mess up my drink order. I called him out and told him that me and my girlfriend just moved to Sayulita. We love the food at the restaurant and told him we just want to be taken care of. He asked me if he could bring me a box for my left overs. I thanked him and waited for at least 5 minutes. My girlfriend got tired of waiting so she asked another worker to provide a box. I have no problem with someone making a mistake. But when it 3 times in one sitting. I hope he enjoys the tip because sadly we won't be back. Lost trust. No sincerety or effort. It really upsets me because the food has...

We live in California, now celebrating our 18 years of marriage in Mexico. Everything is so colorful, the streets, its people, the drinks, the restaurants. The first week we were in Puerto Vallarta and the second we went to Sayulita. We went to the beach on the very first day and on the way back, walking down the main street of this small town, we found this restaurant. We liked the atmosphere and its decoration and decided to have a drink and maybe something to eat. We sat at a table facing the street. The place has several tables on the sidewalk and others on a higher level inside the premises with railings facing the street. We ordered a soda, an iced tea and we were tempted looking at the menu adding tortilla chips, a shrimp toast and two shrimp tacos. It is a very lively place, lots of people walking to and from the beach. The staff is very helpful and friendly, Emanuel, our waiter was very nice, he chatted with us for a while and gave us information about the place. The only thing I would change is the kids begging for money or for you to buy them something like chewing gum. There were more than 12 by the time we were sitting. It makes me sad to see little people at such a young age with the need to go out to "work". But it's not the restaurant's fault, that's why my rating doesn't change. A pleasure to visit this restaurant, we will probably return this week. I highly...

The Barracuda has a prime spot on one of the cutest pedestrian streets in Sayulita, and with outdoor tables, hosted live music and a great reputation, what could go wrong? Maybe it was a bad night, but we did not have a good experience there. It's overrated and expensive.

It started with street musicians and ended with the food. It's not necessarily the restaurant's fault, but about every 20 minutes another one would come trying to sell us songs. By the way, it's a 100 pesos a song, which you find out after. And then there are the trinket vendors passing through from time to time. I guess it's the location, but we didn't have it as often at other restaurants.

I'm gluten free, and this place didn't have a lot that I could -- or wanted to eat. The octopus was not bad; however, the presentation was extraordinarily unappealing. The ribeye was tender but over-salted and undercooked. I didn't care for the salty mashed potatoes with bacon, but the asparagus was quite nice. We both left hungry because we didn't really care for the meals and a large group of girls in a bridal party moved in for drinks, which is fine, but we couldn't hear each other anymore. I've heard the San Pancho restaurant is better.

I would give a 2, but service was outstanding, so that's...
