New Menu Offerings + Upgraded Outdoor Dining Space at New Orleans Taco Stand Barracuda

NEW ORLEANS (press release) – New Orleans taco stand and margarita garden Barracuda is pleased to announce new menu offerings and the continuation of their takeout additions, including Taco Family Meals, Party Packs, the return of their Deluxe Nacho Hour, and much more.

Currently open for outdoor dining, takeout, and delivery, Barracuda decided to add to their existing socially distanced measures by upgrading its outdoor patio dining experience for guests by installing roll-down, transparent curtain barriers and additional covered space giving the feel of a cozy, open-air greenhouse space. As temperatures drop in the coming months, infrared heaters have been distributed throughout the margarita garden to keep guests warm, as well.

“As we enter the brief period of cold and damp weather in New Orleans, it’s important to us that you can still eat tacos outside, so we decided to make some cool improvements for winter in the margarita garden,” says Barracuda Founder Brett Jones.

Taco Family Meals that feed 2-4 or 6-8 people have joined the lineup of menu items available to order online and include the choice of protein or vegetables, one dozen flour tortillas, and sides, including beans, onion, cilantro, cheese, salsa verde and rojo, and a bag of chips.

“At the taco stand, our foremost focus has shifted to operating safely for our staff and guests so we can create a comfortable neighborhood space to get some familiarity through tacos and margaritas for dine-in or at home,” says Jones. “In this same spirit, we’ve permanently added Family Meals and Party Packs to our online menus as well as made our fresh tortillas, salsas, and other homemade staples available for purchase as a larger format option.”

In addition, the taco stand has launched Party Packs as a takeout option available for purchase via Barracuda’s website. The Party Packs include a Breakfast Taco Kit, the return of their popular breakfast taco, a Deluxe Nacho Party Pack, and the DIY Taco Party Pack, perfect to feed socially distanced gatherings of ten or more at a tailgate or in the workplace.

  • The Breakfast Taco Kit (valued at $75, one order feeds 10-12) includes a 12-pack or 24-pack of individually rolled flour tacos filled with your choice of two fillings from the options of Migas, Chorizo and Egg, or Egg and Cheese. Every order comes with creamy salsa verde cups. Additional breakfast taco packs and individual queso dippers can be purchased for each order.
