What people say, in short
Barracuda draws recommendations across its New Orleans outlets; the location shown is the explicitly mentioned Uptown stand on Tchoupitoulas. Brand-wide favorites include steak tacos, breakfast tacos and queso, though the queso also has a detractor. A diner suggests taking the ferry and eating tacos on the levee as a date idea, without naming the outlet. Two praise the lunch combo's value, while another warns that drinks and dips raise the bill.
