Barba Negra

On our island vacay, one of our must-eats was tacos. Not just any tacos though. Some overflowing, juicy, running down your arm tacos. One afternoon after soaking up more than enough sun, we walked into town and into Barba Negra. Truly I wanted one of every taco but I settled on three – garlic and smoke chili octopus, diablo style fish, and mayan style shrimp.

We each had to order our own guacamole as well as an ice cold drink – a mojito for me and horchata for Mia. 

The waitress seemed surprised that we each wanted our own guacamole but we knew our hunger level! And true to form, we both finished every delicious morsel of the freshly made guac. 

Our tacos arrived and my eyes were immediately satiated. After I took my first bite, my tastebuds (and tummy) were equally gratified. Although each of the three tacos were tasty, the octopus was my absolute favorite. If we would have had more time, I would have come back to get a trio of octopus tacos (and more guac!).
