    Red sangria
    Samantha L.

    I stopped in here for a drink with friends, so my review is based solely on the drinks and atmosphere, and not based on their food. Bartaco is in a great location in Inman Park with lots of seating both indoors and on their patio. We were able to be seated immediately without a reservation on a Sunday evening. Their menu has a variety of options, both for food and drink choices. We opted for the red sangria which was light and refreshing. The wait staff were all very kind and checked on us regularly. You can pay using the QR code on your desk which made paying for the check super easy. I'll definitely be back and I'm excited to try their food next time too!

    Tacos here are amazing and the drinks are great too. Lots of seating available, and I think they validate parking too if you park in the parking garage across the street.

    During my recent trip to Atlanta, tried this taco chain restaurant in midtown. Very nice decoration with casual open bar, cozy vibe. The server was very attentive and even gave us coupons to come back and try more of their tacos. Tacos tasted pretty fresh and tasted like Mex-American tacos. Overall, good restaurant to consider if you want to grab some tacos with margaritas.

    Street Corn and salsa verde + chips
    Bob J.

    Very good food! The street corn was very tasty as well as the salsa verde. I love that the chips were served as full tortilla sized and you broke off pieces. I had the chicken salad as my meal and it was good and had a very unique but tasty dressing. It's on the smaller side but it was very refreshing. The patio is so nice when the weather is good and they have an amazing playlist here.

    Trio large tray
    Marni M.

    My friends and I wanted a quick bite over a round of drinks. We were happy to see there were plenty of indoor and outdoor seats available on a Friday but were disappointed when the happy hour was only offered at the bar. We got their Trio large tray, Libelula flight, red sangria, cazuela. We found all of our drinks to be underwhelming and even the presentation was subpar particularly for the sangria which is served in a regular water glass. The trio dish was pretty solid and we were able to get another order of chips to finish it off. The guacamole was creamy, the verde was refreshing, but the roja sauce was our favorite. Overall, we had an okay experience. The ambiance is cute and European inspired but the service was incredibly slow. Drinks were okay but we did enjoy the chips. Unsure if it's worth giving this place another shot in the future.

    I'm at my friends for dinner at this location. Will try later found out was the wrong location but they chose to meet me there after all. First of all parking. You have to pay for parking. The garage that adjacent to the building charges $11 on a Monday night for parking. When asked the workers about the situation - no one knows anything. Including the manager who told me he just started. It's not their job to know but it's kind of a nice Customer Service touch. That was disappointing. Upon sitting at the bar, waiting for friends to arrive. I was greeted by one of the bar tenders. I asked him about the rainy day special. That is when it rains you get a margarita for $8. Nice touch! I told him I was waiting for friends and that if you could wait 10 minutes and then create my drink He memory was very short. He was busy chatting up two ladies that came in shortly after our conversation about something they had in common. 20 minutes later I had to remind him "has it been 10 minutes". that's when he remembered about our deal. Of course my drink was made, and my friends arrived after 1 sip. We sat at a great table. Our server was lovely. However, every time I one friend tried to order a beverage, the server had to come back on three different occasions to say "we are out of it." Lastly , he selected a spindrift beverage that she brought the table. Upon tasting he realized it was " the spiked version". She did not notice that the prior drink selections were nonalcoholic. After all the back and forth... he kept it and did not drink it. I love BarTaco. I am a frequent flyer in Buckhead. At least I used to be. Now I live on this side of town. I'm disappointed that I'll never come back to this location. It was like the right hand doesn't know what the left is doing. However, the special taco was delicious!

    pork belly taco, duck taco, shrimp taco, pineapple pisco punch cocktail
    Lydia N.

    Bar taco is great, I come here occasionally for small bites and drinks! I had the duck, shrimp, and pork taco, all of which I highly recommend, especially the duck. I also had the pineapple punch cocktail, which was a yummy pineapple lemonade flavor. Overall, the food is good, service is excellent, and the interior is clean and has various types of seating. My only critique is that the taco sizes are quite small, I ordered 3 initially and ended up ordering one more. I had churros for dessert, which was good but the chocolate sauce it came with was more of a bitter dark chocolate flavor than sweet milk chocolate. I would come back again if I wanted some small bites!

    chill place i've been here three times and i've only gotten vanilla gelato each time. it's delicious. thanks bar taco!

    Crispy Fish Taco & Crispy Shrimp Taco
    Jina P.

    Honestly the first time I tasted bar taco I wasn't the biggest fan,and I am happy to announce I was wrong. After going to many restaurants in ATL, I have come to appreciate the simplicity of Bar taco. The service is great and efficient. The ambiance I always a vibe and fun. The food is absolutely delicious, I crave it every other week and the drinks are refreshing yet just right. The price is amazing and honestly it's a win in my books everytime. Food comes out fairly quickly and the bar is always fun to sit at. I have been with friends and solo and never had a bad experience.

    Left to right. Chicken Tinga, Sesame Ribeye, Baja Fish, Roasted Duck.

    Left to right. Chicken Tinga, Sesame Ribeye, Baja Fish, Roasted Duck.... Sesame Ribeye taste the best to me lol

    Pork Belly Taco,  Sesame Beef Taco
    Irene C.

    One star solely because of the food - interior is beautiful and staff are very friendly though! The guac and chips were so salty, and the baja fish taco was even saltier. Genuinely felt like i was eating salt on salt and none of the toppings helped even out the taste. Fish itself is pretty small and batter is not very crispy. The pork belly taco was mid even though the pork was tender. It just wasn't well seasoned and the coleslaw/radish toppings flavor overpowered the pork. Beef taco was also just okayish. Drinks tasted fine but felt watered down. Overall would not go back.

    Paul P.

    Everything we tried was on point. Fresh and flavorful. I also felt that the portion sizes were apt. Only item that was disappointing was churros which were not done in the inside. Best thing about the management was that they took my feedback constructively and offered to take it off the bill and a couple of free tacos on the next visit. How often does that happen these days!!! Food - 4/5 Service - 4/5 Ambience - 4/5

    Went for a post dinner second bite (lol) and really enjoyed all the tacos I got at this spot. I was out with my friend visiting town so he had wanted to check this spot out and neither of us were disappointed. Pricing wise, I would've liked them to be a bit larger, but flavor-wise I cannot complain. All the tacos range between three and five dollars and we probably tried over half of the ones on the menu and each of them was a winner! We also ordered the ginger mint tea carafe for the table and we really enjoyed drinking that one so if you're in a mood for nothing alcoholic, that's a winner as well. Probably one of the most interesting elements of the dining experience was how we could order everything through their website/epic experience, including payment so I really enjoyed the seamlessness of that experience and how it didn't seem to cause delays were getting food delivered to the table. Definitely a place I would check out again just to eat more of those delicious tacos as a splurge.

    Does this location accommodate Apple Pay?

    Yes

    Would this be a good place for a birthday dinner? About 5-7 people (mid 20's)? We wanted something with a nice atmosphere and good drinks. Something slightly sophisticated but still laid back!

    Yes, I went with a bigger group. They were very accommodating and helpful, and gave us a great table. Staff is extremely friendly.

    Is off street parking available?

    Yes! We validate parking for the Inman Quarter garage behind the restaurant. See you soon!

They hold a jazz night every Tuesday with live music for a nice chill, yet fun, vibe. Just a warning, the space inside is pretty small--typically there's optional seating outside, but it's really chilly at the moment (although they have heaters)--but there's more seating downstairs in The Victorian Atlanta plant shop. I didn't realize that the two were connected! FYI, if you sit downstairs, you'll be seated next to where the live music performers will be playing, so it will be louder there. As for the drinks, I tried the Zombie. I loved it so much, I ordered a second one instead of trying a different one! It tasted sweet and slightly tropical with the rum and spiced liqueur. It also had some absinthe, which I was worried about when I first ordered it since I hate the taste of it (not a big fan of black licorice flavors), but I didn't taste it at all! Overall, this place had such a great vibe to it!

    Let me just start by saying - Are these the best wings I've ever had? I wouldn't say so but they're…read morepretty good. The wings were all well seasoned, and even the dry rub wings didn't taste dry. It tasted tender and juicy and I've never experienced that before with dry rub wings. We ordered the lemon pepper buffalo wings, buffalo wings, and Korean bbq buffalo wings and a side of fries. Our favorite was the buffalo wings. It had the right balance of juiciness and flavor. I wouldn't recommend the Korean bbq wings since it didn't have enough tangyness to it and didn't stand out. The French fries are a must order. The fries were so crunchy, and they were still crunchy even towards the end when we were almost finished eating. We arrived 30 minutes before they opened on a Friday and there were already people waiting in the lot which was crazy! It started raining while we were waiting in line and the line got even longer. If you're planning to try The Local, I would recommend coming on a regular weekday or come earlier if you're coming on the weekend because the line is crazy. There is some seating inside and outside the bar. We got there early enough to swipe a table. There were people standing and waiting for a table while waiting for their orders. Service was excellent! Tables are first come first serve. Plenty of parking in the back parking lot. I wouldn't wait in the rain for this but it was definitely worth a try!

    I was recommended The Local for great chicken wings in Atlanta, but I never expected how popular…read moreand crowded it was. We arrived there exactly at 5 PM, when it opens, but there was already a pretty extensive line. A little outside the entrance, they check your ID, which I had no idea was a thing. So make sure you have your IDs with you and are 21+. There's a bar area for drinks and a separate counter where you will order and pay for your food. (They make it pretty explicit that you can't get wings to-go.) Find a seat, and once your food is ready, they'll announce your name, and you pick up your food from the window. FOOD: We got wings in the flavors of lemon pepper (dry rub), sun-dried tomato (dry rub), buffalo lemon pepper (wet), and jerk buffalo (wet). I will say that I definitely preferred the wet wings to the dry wings. I found the dry wings to be a little too salty. In my opinion, the wings and the cook on them were just okay. I wasn't blown away or anything. Maybe the relatively cheap beer and the vibes help draw in all the appeal. TLDR// I don't think I had the greatest wings of all time here, but the vibes were really casual and pleasant. I'm glad I was able to try a place so beloved by locals.

I loved the maple old-fashioned cocktail and the lemon raspberry cake was out of this world amazing, nice and tart. They have free valet parking in the back and a handicap space right near the door in the back. The only downside is they only do one check; however, I feel like many places do this now especially when you have a large party so we made it work. I would definitely not use that as a reason not to come back. The overall experience was fantastic.
