Food is decent but it's way too loud inside to have a conversation. They also use a direct order app which I don't like, it makes it difficult to ask for little things or changes. Seems to be a cutting edge non-service oriented model, hope it goes away soon. My bottom line, the food is not good enough for the high price, loud atmosphere, and non-service model. read more

The food: Really yummy lots of choices and everything tasted good and well seasoned. The drinks were yummy too I had a mojito it was very refreshing. The tacos were so good and they have a lot of options and easy way to order and pay. The Service: Was amazing which is rare these days but Daryl served us so well including the woman that sat us in and explained how everything worked. The food came out fast and they had a really friendly and chill staff. The Ambiance: Very visually appealing restaurant. I don't know how to describe the vibes but it very pretty and cozy. I went for a girls night out to celebrate my friends bday and they gave her some complimentary churros which were delicious! Definitely coming back. read more

First time! After you've looked at the menu you write your order down (check off) on the sheet of paper provided. We started with the guac + roja + verde. It comes with several corn tortillas and in three separate bowls. The guac is Amazing!! So creamy and fresh! The roja (red salsa) is a good mix of spicy and sweet. It tasted like it was made with pineapples and habanero peppers but it's packing a lot of heat. The verde (green salsa) had a great taste as well. Spicy but not as much as the roja. Baja fish - one piece of fried fish with chipotle slaw. Love the chipotle slaw!! Sesame ribeye - liked that one. Ribeye was quite as tender as I would have liked but still good. Duck - My first time having suck so you can take my opinion as you may. The duck itself wasn't all that tender. Had good flavoring, the sauce as excellent. I'm not sure of the exact toppings but it tasted like pickles ginger with carrots. Shrimp - definitely has some heat! It was described to us as an spicy orange sauce. Very good! Corn on the cobb - Mexican style with some spice. Very good! I wish it had bigger kernels but that's probably just my inner fat girl speaking. Lol. Cute place, nice vibe, friendly staff. read more

I had an excellent time here. Great friends and delicious tacos. Bartaco is trendy and seems to be a hot spot. One thing that stood out the most was our server. She had the cutest accent and was just on point with everything. She explained everything so thoroughly and her service all night was on POINT! Our table ordered a variety of tacos. I had the pork belly, tuna lettuce taco, and shrimp. All of them were great but the pork belly was my favorite. You can never go wrong with pork belly. For desert we had churros and gelato. Both were meh and I do think I would ever order desert here again. I will definitely go back and try new tacos! read more

The ordering method is a big BIG problem! Before you can even VIEW the drink menu, you have to scan QR code, enter all your info, including your credit card and commit to either paying for yourself or the whole table. I met someone for a first date and arrived early. The only way I could order a drink while I waited was to enter my info into this system. Once he arrived, everything got ordered on his phone and we had a lovely evening but there was never a moment when the bill comes to the table. Turns out that everything that was ordered got charged to my credit card. It was terribly embarrassing to ask for it to be changed. I appreciate embracing new technology but not when it backs you into a corner with no other options. I just want to see a menu. read more

Good food, but the service and execution of the food presentation could have been much better. We had a group of 10 people. Some of these people had recently been to bartaco and complained to me that the service has been very slow. Especially when trying to order any sort of drink. The majority of the table went up to the bar to order a drink, but I wanted to test out what they were complaining about with drink service at the table. I ordered a margarita and it took about 25 minutes to get the margarita to my table after ordering. So they were correct with the service and next time I would recommend going to the bar in order to get yourself a drink. The tacos have a decent amount of flavor, I had the pork pastor and the chicken tacos. You will need to order about 2 to 4 depending on how hungry you are to feel full since they are smaller sized tacos. I definitely recommend getting an appetizer. I got the plantains and they were pretty good and filling. Overall the atmosphere is live and a modern twist on a taco place, but I wouldn't recommend going here if you don't have a lot of time on your hands to spend at dinner. read more

Bartaco was one of my fav spots in ATL! I love the tapas concept and the variety of tacos they had. The Brussels sprouts one and the chorizo one were 2 of my personal favs. Their spicy margarita was super tasty too!! The staff was super attentive and always available for questions/help. 5/5 for sure!! read more

Bartaco has a good menu to offer and I believe it changes per location or on a rolling basis. I am not a fan that a Mexican restaurant doesn't offer a queso dish. What is a Mexican night without queso?! I ordered the duck taco, fish taco and a side of corn off the cob. Both tacos had great, unique flavor and the corn was delish. Service staff is friendly and helpful so no complaints there. What I do not like is their ordering system. You order and pay through the website. It was stressful trying to talk to my friend, order my food, ensure I am paying correctly (now or later) and be certain my order went all the way through. I'd rather someone else be in charge of that if I'm eating out. It really was more work than I had anticipated doing. They do not have the best parking. The location is on the corner of a busy shopping center so you will have to walk a little bit. The outdoor space is super cute and I'm sure a lot of fun on a warm day. read more

Great ambiance. Great food always. Truly delicious. Service is also very good but it can be sometimes frustrating to order One's food with the barcode situation. I think we almost have the hang of it by now. Always a great experience. read more

Recently visited this location and sat at the bar, front and center. The service was terrible. The first bar tender took my order, then 10 mins later came back to ask me what it was again. They changed shifts and the new bar staff never once greeted me, or my friend who eventually joined me, to ask whether they needed to refresh our drinks. I flagged them down to put in a drink order, and it was almost as though it was their first time seeing us sitting there. Mind you, we were sitting at the front of the bar. Finally, I asked to close out my tab, and then had to wait 20 mins for it as the woman seemingly forgot do it. Another bar tender finally stopped by again, and did so fairly quickly so I could run out the door. Food was just ok. Overall, underwhelming experience. read more

Had a pleasant visit at Bartaco! Casual, relaxing atmosphere. Plenty of outdoor seating at their patio is available, which is perfect for nice weathers. They have ample tables indoor and at the bar as well. Note that the noise level could be a tad loud. We had a hard time hearing sometimes, but we all enjoyed our gathering very much. Bartaco is a fusion Asian - Mexican restaurant. I totally enjoy the twist in the food preparations. What did we order? * Guac and chips: Just alright, I think. * Pork belly taco: This is the best taco items we have got on the menu * Duck taco: Second best we have tried. * Bahm Mi (Shrimp) taco: I feel this is just so so.... Nothing too special. * Special taco (Soft shell crab): Love this! Wish we could have this every day. * Grilled corns on the cob: The grilled corns is a MUST HAVE on menu. It is served with blue cheese and some chipotle sauce. Yummy! * Cucumber salad: Tastes like the Asian cucumber salad with vinaigrette. Good, but not extremely outstanding like the grilled corns. * Chipotle slaw: We don't like this too much. * Watermelon magarita: Love this drink. Perhaps due to a lot of ice in the drink, the level of alcohol is on the light side. read more

Bartaco Chastain Park - Mexican Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Had a great lunch here with a friend on the patio. It was incredibly easy to look at the menu, order and pay on my phone. (and also meant we didn't have to worry about splitting the bill!) The servers did a great job checking on us and being attentive. We had margaritas, the fresh guacamole and an assortment of tacos. Everything was delicious but I think the Baja fish taco was my favorite. Definitely looking forward to returning when I'm in the area. read more

Love Bar Taco! Great casual ambiance to this location and very good service. Their tacos are great along with their margaritas! i love their rice bowls & the ability to make their tacos lettuce tacos. it's a great spot to go with a group of friends or casual date. i haven't had a bad meal here and will definitely be back. read more

Love coming here just before a concert at Chastain (or whatever it's called this year)...The jalapeño margarita is DELICIOUS! Love the variety of drinks and love that everything is made fresh to order. Especially the "sour mix"....there's no fake sour mix, they press the citrus fresh for every drink. The servers are all super friendly. If you've never been before, make sure you ask about how to place your order or get a server to stop. There are cards on the table for that :-) Always ask if there are any off menu items. They usually have a secret type of taco or two that is available but not on the menu. I would highly recommend the guacamole....and I am not a fan of avocados at all. They have made me a believer! read more

This is my local bartaco. The food is always great and staff is always attentive. Usually when I go during the weekdays/weekends it is not usually busy. My go to is the glazed pork belly and fish tacos. They also have a QR code system where you can order/pay through your phone which makes it easier than waiting on a waitress/waiter to get to you. The food also comes out super fast. Will definitely be returning. read more

Bartaco Chastain Park - Fish taco, glazed pork belly taco - Mexican Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Name a pair better than tacos and margaritas. Bar Taco has created the perfect little oasis to pretend that you're in an island and need a quick escape from the city. First, I just love the color scheme and sitting on their patio reminds me of having drinks in a beach town. The food: IMO it's not mouth watering spectacular but it is good. They've got veggie options like the portobello or cauliflower taco and of course plenty of meat options with chicken, fish, beef and pork. You can finish one taco in two bites, or three if you're trying to be cute. They've also got a few sides that are okay but my preference is the street corn. Most important, the drinks are delicious. Go with a classic margarita or try their hibiscus mezcalita. Super tasty and so refreshing! Covid changes: like every other restaurant you will need to scan the QR code to pull up the menu on your phone. The best thing is you do everything from your phone. Order your food and pay your bill. This minimizes the staff needing to come to your table every five minutes. This is another good thing to come from Covid and I'll be glad when every restaurant does this moving forward. This is a perfect spot for lunch with friends, a girls night out our date night spot. It's fun, the food is quick, easy and satisfying and the drinks just top everything off. This location is in a shopping plaza off of Roswell Rd so plenty of free parking which is always a bonus in Atlanta. read more

We had a lovely experience. The bartender and bar back were incredibly friendly and helpful. The salsa roja was delicious and had a wide range of flavor. The plantains were so delicious and the sauce brought with it is chefs kiss. Cauliflower tacos, falafel tacos, fuuh king delish!!? I surprisingly wasn't as big of a fan of the mushroom taco, which is out of the ordinary for me. My dining partner enjoyed it tho. read more

Here's my issue--they don't take regular credit cards unless you beg and cry to a manager. The food is good but it's $3-$4 a taco and you end up ordering a lot and spending a lot because the tacos aren't filling. They are good, don't get me wrong, but it ends up being a lot and they don't come out as quickly as they should when there's a large crowd. I also hate the "chips" (more like circle tortillas) and the guacamole. Both are so salty. read more

We called ahead and put our name down. When we got there they said it would still be a 30+ minute wait, which we were not pleased about. But once we sat down, we ordered quickly since we knew the menu really well. We got their new corn fritters, falafel tacos, secret menu Brussel sprout taco, swordfish, pork belly, and tuna tacos. With the corn off the Cobb and guacamole and chips. The falafel tacos were the best!!!! We absolutely love them every time we come! We added the corn elote on top of the falafel taco. The Brussel sprouts were a bit sweet. The pork belly was really good too! The ambiance was great, even thought it was really busy. The lighting was good. And the server was so sweet and brought food and drinks out really quickly despite how busy it was. You can't beat the price for all the variety you get and the high quality. read more

I recently visited this Bartaco location for the first time last week. I live closest to the West Midtown location. But I had such a great experience at this location, I'd be willing to make the drive here again. Somehow the amazing staff here was able to take care of my big group of (crazy) friends. Everyone raved about their tacos, and raved even more about our many carafes of margaritas--we definitely enjoyed the bar. And we definitely enjoyed the tacos. A few standouts include the baja fish, portobello, shrimp bahn mi, and the duck. Heck, try any taco on the menu (and ask about the secret taco of the day). You truly can't go wrong! We were served family style, which made us all feel even closer to one another. But I've noticed that in the almost two weeks since we visited, a few friends have gone back (without me, so much for feeling closer to one another...but I digress). Clearly we're all totally hooked, and I need to make a trip back myself ASAP! read more

Came here after an event to get some food and drinks. I got the acoustic sangria and the special taco - avocado batter one. It was very tasty. The tacos are very small about the size of your palm. It's family style they bring them out together. I got three and I was still hungry. I also got the corn fritters which were DELICIOUS. The plantains has a nice kick to it as well. They were very tasty. I also got the churros. Spot on. They were so tasty and warm. The key lime pie in a cup apparently wasn't set. My friends didn't not enjoy it. The tacos are very small. read more

I visited bar taco on Roswell which I normally do when craving tacos how ever I had the worst service in history ! the server said his name was David but at this point I'm unsure. Not only was he rude he didn't attend to us the whole night, and forgot to put our food order in I was nothing but nice to him and didn't appreciate the hospitality by far . It was no reason I had to ask multiple times simply for a drink and to even pay the bill . I come to this location all the time and have been met with countless amazing bartenders so to be ignored, left hungry and then have to beg to simply be served was irritating To say the least. He's clearly new and didn't know how to operate the bar . In addition to this the bartender decided to add additional tip and pay himself over what he deserved . I called the location and spoke to the manager who refused the bill in total and while I appreciate that gesture I was surprised to see they would allow someone like that to continue to work there. Not only does his customer service suck , he is dishonest and is a thief. Forging numbers on a credit card receipt is the lowest of lows and I would check my accounts twice when visiting this location ! read more

The place is overpriced. The tacos not tacos more like taquitos. The are very small and tapas like. The duck was good The beans a little bland. The servers very Nice. They must have had problems with people paying because they want your credit card up front. They put a hold on it. Drinks weak. The place was clean and open air. Not worth it. read more

Ming was a very pleasant surprise! It's nice to see people who love their jobs and treat others good! More people need to be like Ming! Oh, btw she is one of the managers and that's a plus. We were headed to that other taco place that starts with a S, but too long of a wait. My daughter then suggested we try this place that she said I've been to before, hmmm... The ladies I believe had beef tacos, duck and I had a variety of them; duck, crispy oyster, sesame ribeye, pork belly, 2 chicken verde. They're tacos were very flavorful, juicy, and tender. They both agreed they were good. My fav of all the tacos I tired was the crispy oyster! I'm a fan of them and it's not easy to find them, so I choose one and it was that good! Crispy, no greasy, great tasting oyster! Ming recommended the pork belly which I was oohing and ahhin about because I had pork belly one time before and it was terrible. I gave in and I enjoyed pork belly the way it should be cooked. Crispy and buttery. Very good taco. Ribeye sesame was another winner. I mean all the tacos were real good with enjoy spices on them still allowing you to enjoy the other flavors of the taco! Definitely a place to sit and enjoy some damn good tacos! read more

A mini oasis located in a strip mall. Didn't expect the splendid ambiance I walked into after driving by this place many times. It's more of a tapas style Mexican, with all the portion sizes on the smaller side. The tacos are small, with the idea of you being able sample more tastes on the menu. I like the idea for something different. The tacos really were not anything spectacular to me but they got the job done for little designer tacos. The highlight for me was the margarita and the mezcal margarita, bartender did a great job with those drinks. I ordered some salsa verde and it came with hard shell whole tortillas instead of tortilla chips. Kind of caught me off guard and I didn't enjoy it as they don't give you many tortillas. This was a nice place to fall back on when the to remain nameless Mexican joint down the road was too busy with long waits. read more

I liked my previous experience so well that I treated my office to lunch at Bartaco last Friday.We had been working like crazy through a number of huge projects and it was finally time to ease off the gas. The ten of us loved it -- even the two guys from Korea and Cote d'Ivoire who had never had tacos before. We ate outside on a beautiful early fall day. The service was great. Everyone had their favorite tacos. I think I'm settling on the curry shrimp and the short ribs as my faves. And the corn. One of my colleagues fell in love with the gazpacho. And I found the perfect way to make all of my co-workers think they had died and gone to heaven: three orders of churros for 10 people. Bam! Hot. Terrific. Accompanied by chocolate sauce. And our resident latina got everyone laughing by teaching us how to pronounce 'churro' with that lovely rolled R. Give it a try. Stress on the first syllable: 'CHU rrrrrrrrro'. I'm upgrading. Bartaco earned the fifth star. read more

Bartaco Chastain Park - Nonna says "Bartaco is very interesting." - Mexican Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I've got to say, bar taco has got this COVID thing down. You order from your phone and they will come to your table (all tables are perfectly socially distant). You have limited encounters with the wait staff. I do feel bad because I'm sure they had to let go of the majority of their staff to switch to this model. Food is consistently tasty and drinks are nice! Recommend trying the duck quesadilla, I get it every time! read more

$7 for a little tiny taco? No thanks. It's also very loud. Just not my kinda place.

You have to order using a smartphone. If you are not smartphone savvy the process to order was very difficult. The were a lot of glitches. My other party was able to order and eat before i was able to even order. It was not thought out very well. The food was not worth all the trouble. read more

The food is amazing, however the service is horrible. I have yet to meet a bartender here that has been attentive or hospitable. They don't smile, they are not attentive. The most you hear from them is "We are cashless, can I have a card to keep a tab". Maybe they are overworked or just not the best for the job. Either way. I will not come back. read more

Great food! The steak tacos had lots of flavor as well as the duck quesadillas. The homemade salsa & guacamole was AMAZING! Chicken & pork tacos both had amazing flavor as well! Chicken better then the pork. The fish taco was nice & crunchy as well. Great overall feeling with awesome service! read more

I absolutely love Bartaco...can you say yum! I'll keep this review quick and just say...GO NOW! That's it, that's the review. Lol But seriously, I genuinely enjoy the food every time I eat here. I've had the lime shrimp, baja fish, duck, chicken verde, pork belly and my absolute favorite the oyster taco. Again, can you say yum! Their tacos are street taco size so we can easily eat 3 or 4. Or in my case 5! The street corn is also delicious. The unfortunate thing is they don't deliver individual tacos anymore. So I'm forced to actually leave the house and go to the restaurant. How lame? Turn up the volume on taco Tuesdays and go to Bartaco. read more

I could eat the most bland thing in the world and it would still have more flavor than this place. do not go here the food is horrible the drinks are horrible and the deserts were horrible. all the food came at different times with 30 minutes. read more

I finally came here on a Monday for lunch a little after 1:30. It was the day after the Super Bowl and a balmy 65 degrees out so they had the garage style doors open for al fresco dining. They've got a nautical theme going on with white washboard walls and wooden tables. My waiter explained how their ordering worked. There are sheets at every table for you to mark what tacos, non-taco items, and sides you want. Once you've ordered you stick the sheet in a cardholder and they come and pick it up. I was hoping to try one of their secret menu tacos but they didn't have it that day. The tacos are small which I really like because you can try a few of them at a time. I ended up getting the rock shrimp taco instead which had a remoulade sauce and a lemon parsley slaw, the Baja fish taco which had a chipotle slaw, and the chicken pastor taco which had a Hawaiian sweet and spicy sauce with pineapple chunks. For my side I got corn off the cob. Each taco was really good and I'd order any of them again. If I had to pick a fave though out of the three I'd go with the rock shrimp. The corn off the cob was really good as well. Take 2 for the secret menu taco was a success. I went on a Sunday and got to try the honey chipotle glazed brussel sprouts taco and it was delicious. They should really consider making this a regular menu item. I also got the falafel taco which was pretty good and the spicy chorizo which I didn't care for and wouldn't order again. I also got to try their plantains and street corn fritters. The plantains were delicious with crisp edges, tender on the inside and sweet. The corn fritters were very good as well and the dipping sauce was yummy. As a devoted churro enthusiast ordering the churros for dessert was non-negotiable. Really good! I didn't care for (and didn't really need) the dipping sauce - a touch to bitter for me. The restaurant is located in a little strip mall/shopping plaza so there's a good amount of parking available. Even if you don't get something directly in front of the restaurant you'll get something close enough. Service was solid both times I've been. The manager working came over and checked in on me in both cases. My food came out pretty quickly (probably just under 10 minutes both times). read more
