    They have a parking lot which is a blessing. Our server Victor was friendly, personable and kind. He gave good recommendations on drinks and was really funny. We had the pork belly and the fish tacos. Those two were definitely our favorites, very light, flavorful and juicy. Carnitas wasn't too bad but more on the salty side. Decor is like a ship deck ocean vibe to the restaurant.

    Bartaco is my go-to spot whenever I'm craving some tacos. I usually go whenever I crave their duck birria, roast duck taco, Brussel sprouts taco, and/or mushroom taco, as these are DELICIOUS. I also enjoy their tuna tatako, fried oyster, baja fish, and pork belly tacos. Personally felt like their beef ribeye taco was okay, as it is like a small portion of kbbq with kimchi, so if I'm craving that, I may as well go to an actual kbbq spot. Overall, they have so many good options that you can't really go wrong with anything. Service is pretty quick and good and I love the casual ambiance -- great spot to hang with friends!

    Had a fun solo night out at Bartaco! Place was packed but luckily I found a seat at the bar. The bartenders kindly explained to me how the menu works, there's different kinds of tacos and on their paper menu you fill out how many of each you'd like. They also have other options too but tacos is their main feature. They also warned me tacos are on the smaller side which was helpful. Taking all this information in, I ordered 2 crispy shrimp and 2 baja fish. They were so fricken good, fresh and flavorful. I felt like I wanted something else so I ordered a side of their plantains paired with a creama and wow! So good paired together. I also got a bartaco margarita of course! Everything was so tasty and it's a fun spot to check out by yourself or with friends! I recommend!!

    I had an amazing time at bartaco. The service was fast and had a great ambiance for a date night. All of the items we got were delicious and I need to go away to try the other tacos. The spiced chicken verde bowl was good but I recommend the tacos. The tuna taco melted in my mouth and was very savory. The falafel taco was very crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside. This contrast added more to the flavor profile.

    I first visited Bartaco in NY when the original location opened about a decade ago. I was impressed. Fast forward to today and they have many locations across the country. They do an amazing job with the decor inside and the place was like an ice box on a 90 degree day, which is awesome. Decided to sit outside as the sun was going down and the heat wasn't bad. You can order from the QR code at the table and even have an option to have the entire party put it on your bill, while still ordering from their own phones. Or you can just order from your own phone. Tacos are small and the waitstaff suggests 3-5 per person. I opted for 4, since I ordered the Trio of Dips appetizer. The trio comes in a large and small version. I got the small, which has a smoky salsa, a salsa verde heavy on cilantro, and house made guacamole. The 'chips' are whole fried tortillas that you break off. Cool concept, although probably easier to just have a basket of chips. The guac was the best and I wish I ordered a bowl of that. The lobster taco was fresh and full of lobster, leaving me pleasantly surprised. Up next I had two chicken tacos that were well seasoned and so good. I finished with the sesame short rib, which was salty and sweet. The table side sauced come in what are essentially mild, medium, and hot. Their habanero isn't too spicy and I would have preferred a bit more kick, but it's still good. Overall, Bartaco did impress me. It makes you feel like you're seaside in the summer, even nestled on the corner of Beacon street. It's certainly not the place for authentic Mexican food, but it's the best spot for an island vibe with fresh food and great cocktails. I will be back.

    We had an amazing dinner here! Our waitress Paige was super friendly and made the experience great. It is such a beautiful restaurant, with incredible food. There were so many great tacos & drinks, that we will have to come again. Don't be afraid to order extra tacos during the meal, as the food came out so fast. The Cazuela was a great drink, and is sadly the only one to come in the awesome terracotta

    Neat restrooms... clean welcoming

    Cool vibes, nice decor , Stopped in for a lunch meeting Ordered a pork belly , a prime rib, shrimp taco, street corn Pork belly taco excellent, prime rib very good The shrimp has an extreme hot kick and too strong for me. Street corn was cold, looked overcooked, needed more butter cream sauce .. 2 small pieces ... I'd say these ok but not warm enough Needs a few more options A fajita plate, Soft flour steamed tacos I would have liked...

    Guac

    Nice cute space with a lot of people. Friendly service. The main personal issue for me is that I can't eat cilantro and most things had cilantro already in it - like the slaw that comes in the tacos, and the guac. The only way to not have cilantro is to order from the kids menu. I think it's a bit too pricey as well. Normally come here for the desserts and will probably stick to that in the future.

    Sat at the bar for a couple round of drinks and the cocktails were 10/10. Each of the four drinks we ordered were so delicious and beautifully presented. The interior of bartaco is super cute and the perfect vibe for drinks or a meal in the day or night. Will 100% be back! Bar staff was attentive and friendly.

    Fish tacos

    3rd time in a row I ordered delivery and the fish tacos look like this. As thin as my finger and mostly bread no fish. This used to be my favorite :/

    First review of 2024! Lunch today was a treat! We've been wanting to come since they opened in July. So happy to have them part of the neighborhood! I work from home now so I can have weekly lunch dates. Today we chose Bartaco Love the space. Lots of different types of seating. It feels very open. Everyone greets you with a smile. You can either QR code the menu or you can ask for paper menus. We opted for paper menus. The tacos are small so you can order a mix and match of whatever tacos or non tacos youd like. You use a pencil to select what you want. I'm sure the app is just as easy but I appreciate they have both options. What we got: Him Chicken tortilla soup. Thought it was a particularly nice dish for a cold day. He said the heat of spice was a delightful gradual buildup and nicely coated his throat. ((I took bite of the chicken and thought it was very flavorful and would like my husband to figure out how to make his own version)) Baha fish taco. Enjoyed the crunch of breading and thought the fish was great. Chicken verde taco. Said there was good ratio of chicken and other toppings. Chorizo: Enjoyed this but thought there should be a little more flavor. Me: Street corn. The cheese and chili powder is such a wonderful combination with the sweet corn. I think it could be good hot or cold. You get 2. I took one home. I'm looking forward to snacking on the other one later. Chicken verde taco. Had a great kick! Loved the flavor! Rib eye: the sesame glaze was sweet and delicious and paired amazingly with the spicy kimchi!! Next time I'm getting 2 or 3. We both agreed the filling was proportioned appropriately. We both thought the sangria was delightful. Very sweet! You can taste the elderflower! Great food great service great everything- can't wait to come back.

    Great artisanal tacos and cocktails. Very similar to Lonestar taco, but with more options. Tacos are on the small side, I need five to fill up, but are priced under $4 a piece. My favorite were the chorizo, pork belly, and fish taco. Service is friendly and prompt. The restaurants itself is very open and have a very welcoming comfy vibe. I'll def come again!

    Taco bliss

    Love this place! Fun, upbeat music. Fresh, fun West Coast atmosphere. Amazing food-can't tell you what taco to get because I loved all 3 equally: fish, shrimp and chicken verde. The guacamole is a party in your mouth-it's got a kick so know that before ordering. I loved it and I'm only a medium spice gal. I loved the low carb bib lettuce ordering option. The waitstaff were very kind/patient with my autistic son--extra bonus! GET THE FRENCH PRESS COFFEE-OMG!!!

    I've been here about 5-6 times, the meat in the tacos is consistently bone-dry, under-seasoned, and they skimp on cheese.

    Not a bad price and quality - not great, but not bad. I ordered the grilled chicken burrito and it…read morewas only $8.95 for the smallest size which was actually enough to fill me up. The chips and pico de gallo also was $4.50 and the amount of chips was enough for an entire plate of nachos. I was definitely full after this. Chips and pico de gallo - pretty standard. The chips felt like chips from a bag instead of freshly made which would have put this over the top, but there were a LOT of chips. The pico de gallo could have been bigger for the price, but it was enough to eat maybe half of the chips and the rest I ate with the burrito. Grilled chicken burrito - I got this with pico de gallo, sweet peppers, Mexican rice, chimichurri sauce, cheese, lettuce, pinto beans, and marinated onions and the fillings were great. The chicken was moist and the flavors really melded together well, but the tortilla was a bit strange - it was pretty soggy, slimy, and a little bit gummy which was not like any tortilla I've had before in a burrito. However, it wasn't bad. It was a strange texture but it was flexible enough to hold the ingredients which were a bit wet as a whole, and it didn't rip, so I can't say too much bad about it. It didn't affect the test much but the texture was a little weird. Still, the sweet peppers were an awesome touch and there was a good ratio of meat to other ingredients. Is it the best burrito I've ever had? No. But getting full for $8.95 is pretty rare nowadays, so I'd definitely stop by here again.

The establishment itself doesn't have much space--just a small counter with bar seating by the window that fits about three people, and a single table that seats maybe six. It's definitely more of a take-out spot. I had the place to myself, so I ordered a chicharrón burrito ($13) and fried yuca ($7). I didn't expect to finish it all. The burrito came out in less than five minutes. The rice was well-salted and flavorful, the plantains added a surprising sweetness, and the chicharrones were satisfyingly crispy. The pico de gallo tasted extra fresh, and the tomato salsa had that slight grit you only find in freshly made versions. This burrito was also loaded--I was full after finishing it. One small nitpick: I would have preferred a pressed tortilla for a bit more heat and structure. About halfway through my burrito, the yuca fries arrived. They came topped with shredded lettuce and more of that fresh tomato salsa. The portion was generous here as well. None of that "five sticks of yuca for $10 at the upscale Latin American place" nonsense. Viva Taco is neighborhood comfort food at its finest--quick and filling without sacrificing flavor, and at a reasonable price point. It might not be perfect, but it's exactly the sort of place I wish every community had.
