Barraca do Joca

Absolutely amazing spot right by the beach 🌴🌊 The fried fish was incredibly fresh, meaty and perfectly cooked, crispy outside, juicy inside. Served with lime and salad, which lets the quality shine. The juice was refreshing and the whole atmosphere under the trees with the sea view made it even better. Super relaxed, authentic and great value. Would definitely come back. Highly recommended! 🐟🔥

Excellent service, the staff was very kind and helpful. We met the owner who is a really nice guy. I’m happy to recommend the place, the food and cocktails were top, a family run restaurant where we felt always welcomed.

I have nothing to complain about. It's the best on the beach.

Wonderful

Great beach bar in Fortaleza (Meireles beach). However, the opening hours aren't very consistent: The waitress said 11 PM, the owner Joca said midnight (if it doesn't rain), and the other partner, on a Tuesday (September 2nd, 2025), at 10:20 PM, refused to serve, saying he had already closed. So, if you're coming from far away, trusting the opening hours, don't go. Joca's service is great, the music is good, and the prices are fair. Friendly.

The food was very basic for the absurd price charged (rice, chicken, and potatoes + soda for R$91.00), the service was poor, and they even charge a 10% service fee. The worst part is that they blocked the view of the beach.
