We recently went to Barracuda's new location (which was also our first time visiting Barracuda at all), and I think it's such a cool concept that they share the same roof as 80 Proof. They have a great variety of Latin dishes to choose from, and they nailed the arepas, Mofongo, and Lomo. Great drinks, desserts, and apps! I'm not able to compare this location to the original because I had never been, but I was impressed. Our server was friendly and attentive, and the staff makes it really easy to restaurant hop if you choose to!

Happened to be walking by on a busy Saturday night and they were able to sneak us in. For apps, we had the Jerk and Lemon Pepper wings and they were moist and juicy and flavorful! Would come back just for these. The Fresh guacamole served with fried green plantains was another great appetizer. For my main, I got the Pork Belly mofungo and the leftovers made a great omlette the next day!

Everything was above and beyond food, drink, and service wise. The restaurant has a great happy hour. The concept is tropical on this side. We had empanadas and yucca fry nachos. This restaurant shares a kitchen with the owners other more bistro concept. We tried both and they were both fantastic. Only thing it was a little confusing with both restaurant logos on the windows but you can get to either one once inside.

This restaurant never disappoints. The food is such a treat to ones tastebuds. Must try: Yucca Fries, steak tacos and pulled pork Arepas. The drinks are excellent. The waitstaff is pleasant and not annoying. The restaurant is small and they don't take reservations. They are also in New Haven so you have to feed the meter until 9pm. Don't let this stop you
