Really enjoyed my Bartaco takeout experience! I placed a large order for 7 people during prime dinner hours on Saturday. The website made it easy to order and accurately predicted when our order would be ready for pickup. When we arrived, the order was ready to go, which is rare in the world of takeout! We had one small problem with our order (they ran out of plantains), but the staff apologized profusely, refunded my credit card immediately, and sent me off with a $10 gift card for my next visit. The food was quite good. We enjoyed a sampling of nearly all the tacos on the menu (chicken, pork belly, duck, etc.) along with Sesame Ribeye Bowls and Mexican Corn. Our food was devoured within minutes, and I will definitely be coming back to Bartaco next time I'm in Atlanta! read more

Came here during my lunch hour with a friend as it was close by, and I love it! A modern and healthier twist on a taco restaurant. The restaurant has great indoor and outdoor seating, and the waiters were very helpful, as their ordering process is a little different. The tacos themselves were smaller, but are great for trying a variety! My favorite was the baja fish taco. The salsas on the tables are also really good and even available for sale. Make sure you take a debit/credit card, because the restaurant doesn't take cash. In the end, I filled out a short survey about my experience and received a token for a free taco the next time I come. Won't be long before I use it! read more

These are not your traditional tacos but they are delicious. My favorite was the pork belly and the rib eye tacos. The service is different but still good read more

I haven't been to Bartaco in a while and the menu had changed. I came by myself and Andre G., my server ...he was excellent! He helped me pick some yummy stuff on the menu and I really enjoyed the pork belly, crispy rock shrimp and duck tacos...let's not forget his recommendation of the corn fritters to start...these are new and so yummy and fresh!!! He is was the best server and made my experience very enjoyable!!! Makes all the difference! Great food and service is hard to find sometimes! But I found it today!!! read more

Wow It was my first time here and it was amazing thanks to Imran such a sweet bartender and super caring I'm deff going to come back the service was amazing food was good too drinks 5 stars !! read more

Came here on father's day early afternoon like 1 or 2pm.... There was no wait and it wasn't too busy... Hostess sat us immediately.... Our server came right to us when we sat down and explained the ordering process.... He was very friendly.... I ordered the ribeye bowl... Corn on the Cobb and fried oyster taco... My boyfriend ordered assortment of tacos.... The wait for the food was a little long... But the manager and our server kept us informed and gave us complimentary chips and salsa and ended it with complimentary dessert.... Our server was wonderful and so was management... We will definitely be back read more

Expensive and good. Bartaco has good, expensive food. It is focusing on high-quality food. We had great service and an excellent meal. Great drinks and service. The queso is excellent. I sampled a variety of tacos and enjoyed them all. Good spot. read more

This place seems to be poppin for an after work drink and snack/dinner. It was a little awkward finding it since there's not a sign off the road showing where it's at. The sign faces the parking lot. I didn't see it until I turned where I "thought" it should be. We sat at the bar top. Around 730 this place was packed at the bar top like it was a Saturday night somewhere. When you order, it similar to sushi. You put a check or number by the items u want, and then put on the little clip for the server to come By and grab. Service was a little slow at the bar, but the bartender was nice and friendly and was making some strong margaritas. Food: it's tasty here. The portions are helllaaaa small. I've had bigger tapas. The tacos are tiny. What's good to eat? Fish, or chicken tacos, pork tamal, cerviche( ask for no avocado if you aren't a fan. It comes with an awkwardly glob underneath the cerviche.) cerviche is a tiny portion as well. The corn and pineapple are great as well. Prices are okay. Parking: there's a huge parking lot in front. However, there are a lot of surrounding business across the street and in the plaza. Parking was hard to find when we first got here. read more

Meet a few friends for lunch and had a blast the food was fresh the service was great and the environment was laid back and chill read more

**Update: I have been back to this location a couple time since my last review. Service is back to what it was when I first began visiting! The food has always been delicious. Yay! I first visited this location last year & liked the food so much that I was there at least 2-3 days of the week. Some days twice a day. I tend to overdo things when I really like them. Lately, I have had a couple of mishaps with my to go orders, food not being prepared as I requested or things missing from the order. The last couple times I went in to sit at the bar to order food it took a really long time for anyone to even greet me. That was a big turn off for me. One of the reasons I used to visit this place was because of the exceptional customer service. Not anymore. I literally sat at the bar yesterday for a few minutes. The guys behind the bar see me, make eye contact but never spoke to me. Not even a simple I'll be with you shortly. A guy finally walks over says hello & brought a glass of water. I asked about a taco & told him I would only need about 2 minutes to fill out the order sheet. Five minutes passed, then about 10, then another 5. I am looking at servers including the guys behind the bar, making eye contact & not one of them says a word or takes my order. I finally hoped up & walked over to the to go area since it was taking so long to place an order to eat at the bar. All of a sudden, every server in the restaurant walks over to me to ask if I had been helped. Ha ha. I placed a to go order & left. I probably won't be going back for a long time all because the service has slacked, & is very slow. Food is delicious though read more

Oh what a cute little date place I have stumbled upon! I went last week for a date night with my boyfriend and we were beyond impressed. All of the decor screams beach.. the garage was open and plenty of natural light was streaming in. The salsa roja was delicious and the chips were unique! Don't be afraid to ask for me, as the serving size is small! The tacos... AMAZING! We tried the fish, chicken, pork carnitas, and duck tacos and were not let down by any of them. All very tasty and seasoned well. While I do think the drinks are a bit overpriced, I do think the rest of the menu is very reasonable and you can get out of there for around $40 for 2 people! Lovely date night and a lovely restaurant! We will be back for more! read more

New Yorker who is visiting and I was a little uncertain about eating here but I would highly recommend it!! The food was amazing! Ordered duck And pork tacos, duck was the best of two but they're good delicious! The customer service was great! The hostess was very welcoming and we ordered through our phones which was very convenient and awesome as my family and I are trying to maintain distance from others during this time. Would highly recommend! read more

First timer, I gave them a four star because the food was good but there was no "wow" experience. The setup is you order at the table on a pad of paper and place a flag on your table anytime you need service. All the food is tapas style, build your own meal, with the exception of rice bowls. The menu choices are limited and we tried a wide variety of what they offer. The order to serve time was about 25 minutes and since all the dishes are build your own, the plates piled up quick on the smaller than average tables (party of four). All the food was very good. There is a full bar, but the beer is can or bottled only. I would recommend but beware this is not your transitional Mexican experience. read more

Bartaco Chastain Park - Mexican Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

One of my favorite spot around Chastain Park Area. Disappointed they discontinued their ceviche dish but highly recommend the tuna poke, duck taco, and pork belly taco. read more

First time visiting . Believe all the hype you've heard. This place is everything. Great food... Great drinks. Our waiter Ashton was amazing. We will be back :) read more

Had the best time here! Mr. Spencer went above and beyond to make sure we were well off. He was busy tonight but got us what we needed. One of the crew members complained about their drink and the manager came over immediately to replace it. We were a bit rowdy a few drinks in but they maintained a professional and made us feel welcomed. Thank you for putting up with me and my crew! read more

Excellent food and service for Mexican food lovers who want more than regular fare Great Margaritas read more

I've been trying lots of taco places and I almost thought I'm not just not a taco person... until bartaco! They're awesome! We tried multiple tacos and other items here and no matter what you get, you can't go wrong. The sesame ribeye taco tastes Korean-ish. The banh mi shrimp one has a little spice, but not too much, and it tastes awesome. The fried oyster one is great! And the pork belly one hits the spot! The ceviche is also amazing. And the cheese quesidilla is simple, but also amazing. Our server, I think his name was Gabriel, was really great even though we had a huge party! Their guacamole is one of the best. I would prefer chips, but it still tastes good with tostada shells. Their drinks taste really good too. We got margaritas and mojitos. The atmosphere is the best in that little part of Buckhead too. Highly recommended. There is definitely a wait though, so either make reservations (and even then come a little early) or have someone come early for you. Even the bar fills up quickly. read more

I had one of the best times a couple of Fridays ago at this place. The server was phenomenal and I hate that I can't remember his name. He was training another server and was a great example and teacher. This location is unassuming and in a strip mall but is filled with plenty of character. The management was wonderful. Special shoutout to "Craig." He took great care of hubby and I in making sure we got to try plenty of good items. We started with the stewed beans which were mediocre. The chips and salsa verde were along the same lines. Hubby was a big fan of the sesame ribeye taco. It was delectable indeed. Our favorite was the pork belly taco. It scared me at first but I ended up getting seconds. I also loved the baja fish taco. I found the curry shrimp and the spicy chorizo tacos to be average. The mahi mahi taco was tasty. We fell in love with the chocolate ice cream and the mint chocolate chip ice cream which came with a yummy waffle cone. The outdoor set-up looked inviting and we wanna sit out there while the weather is still nice. I found Bartaco to really live up to the hype. read more

I like Bartaco. The ambiance is cool, the food is really good, and the drinks are great. I just wish several things about this spot. It's kind of expensive for Mexican when there is no shortage of quality Mexican in Atlanta. The drinks are really good, but they too will run ya. There is a lovely outdoor space.... That looks out into the corner of a parking lot.... Eh. What's interesting about my visit is my friends and I ordered the rice bowls. I had the tacos at the Westside location so I was excited to try the bowls, which my friends had bragged about. After ordering and while waiting, the manager informed us there was no more rice. None. And making more will take a long time. A. Really. Long. Long. Time. My friend is gluten free and wanted to wait for her bowl. And made that clear. But the manager kept insisting that she order something else. Ok so thank you for telling us and giving us your card to come back for a complimentary bowl and allowing us to order complimentary replacements while there. That's definitely customer service and I appreciate that. But it's the middle of the afternoon on a Saturday, how do you run out of a simple main ingredient like rice? Is there no low rice warning in the kitchen? No alert that's states rice is approaching critical low levels? None? No? I appreciate how it was handled, but I guess since it is somewhat new they are working out the kinks. I guess. I would give 4 stars, but it's rice that ran out. Who runs out of rice? I like Bartaco. I recommend it. The guacamole is yummy. Their cucumber salad is tasty The pork Belly and shrimp tacos, are a yes and yes from me. The drinks, yeeesss. Just make sure to confirm there is enough rice if you want a rice bowl. read more

I hate writing negative reviews, I REALLY do. I will try and highlight the good as well. I hope this was a one off experience and others have enjoyed this place better than we were able to. 3 of my girlfriends were grabbing dinner here. I couldn't meet them until about 30-40 minutes after they already were seated so I figured I would just get a drink as they were wrapping up their meal. To my advantage, but not to their delight, when I arrived they had only been given drinks. One friend mentioned she had ordered a margarita with no salt, and when they brought it out with salt and she sent it back, they poured it over the salt into a different glass. They mentioned they asked for chips but were waiting on those too. The minute I sat down I was greeted - the server was super friendly and got my drink right away. The spicy margarita was delicious by the way. At this point I'm pretty happy and getting my tasty drink on. Then I realized what the girls were talking about, we requested chips once more and then had to ask if we could order food. At this point it had been an hour. During the wait for the food a runner brings us some random tamale that we couldn't identify. He later came back and said it wasn't for us but he was just going to leave it there. We weren't any closer to getting our food, but still not complaining, there was just a lot of talk at the table about how long we had been there. Ordered more drinks - one comes out wrong, one comes out later correct, one wasn't put in and never comes out. Mentioning the missed drink to a separate server she says she will grab it. Never comes, still no food. At this point the energy at the table is getting negative about the whole experience. We are all getting a bit #hangry. So finally I ask the manager about my drink and we tell her a bit about our experience. She is SUPER friendly and says she will get the drink out right away. Food comes, it was pretty good. My tacos were a bit dry, but I would have eaten anything at that point so I scarfed those puppies down. She walks over to the server and stands a few tables behind us in clear sight talking to him... in front of us. He starts staring over at us, heads to put in the drink, now everybody at the bar is talking about us and staring at our table too. I thought the manager would be back quickly with the drink but instead the super friendly waiter I had met at the beginning is NOT so happy. He delivered the drink later and just says "spicy margarita" then walks away. The manager later came by to check on how we were doing at that point. We had to tell her how uncomfortable we were that she talked to him in front of us, that the half of the staff was staring at us and that we really just wanted to leave. We had been there well over 2 hours at this point. She was extremely apologetic, I cannot emphasize her niceness. She comped the ENTIRE check. We asked to pay but she insisted and looked a bit shaken up. I felt bad. We left what would have been a 18% or so tip regardless. Anyway, I know 4 women that likely won't be back, but its a damn shame because that was a tasty margarita. read more

This place is amazing I would recommend to any and every body...the street corn Yum...my favorite taco is the ribeye the kimchi was so good and had the perfect kick of spices...I can't wait to get back to Atlanta to get some great food...now on to the bar the drinks are bomb let's start there...my go to is a margarita and hands down one of the best places to get a margarita from all drinks are had crafted the juice for each drink is freshly squeezed the drinks don't have a ton of ice which is always good in my books I just say this if you're ever in buckhead stop by tell them I sent you lol read more

First I want to confirm that I was pleasantly surprised by this place! I had low expectations of what I have termed hipster tacos after trying some other places, but bartaco is really great! We tried all three vegetarian taco options. Note the taco's are about three bites big, so you will need at least three! At $2.50 each not a big deal. 1. Falafel Taco - YUM! This was a my favorite, I love the cucumber and yogurt dressing on it! 2. Portobello Mushroom Taco- My husband liked the grilled mushrooms, but though it was underwhelming. 3. Cauliflower Taco- Was stunned that this was actually really great! We also had the grilled corn, tamale, and gauc which were all pretty good and about 5 bucks each. Dessert - They had lots of yummy ice creams and such, but we got the chocolate Churros. Which were yummy! The only problem is to avoid the busy time. It gets crowded and service can get a little slow. Overall, it can get pricey. We paid 60 bucks with tip for our two person meal. However the service is friendly and the food is good so it totally worth a visit. read more

I really do like the ambiance of the restaurant; however, the size of the tacos is insulting. Please increase the size of the tacos. I would have to eat 8 tacos to be full, and I'm a small person. read more

I've frequented this location a lot since my last review and I would have to say it got better if even possible. There have been two occurrences where things went a little wrong but management both times went WAY above and beyond what we had asked and made it very clear that they had appreciated our business and for this we keep coming. This location management really cares for their customers and we will always choose this location over others for this reason. read more

I think this place is a travesty. They have successfully brainwashed many of the masses into thinking that this is a good restaurant to come to. The tacos are abysmally small. The portion is seriously horrendous. I have popped Advil that have filled me up more than their tacos. On top of the portions being microscopic the tacos are expensive. Some reach near $4. For a dollar more I can get a burrito at Willy's that will feed myself and my family. The atmosphere for me is atrocious. It is identical to eating inside an urban outfitter. There is a strong disconnect between the food and the setting. The service is done very weird. You have to stick a little card in a holster and pray one of their leather apron henchmen comes and serves you. The alcohol is egregiously overpriced and not made in any particular special way to justify it. I am impressed at how many 20 something females have been manipulated into giving this place business. It just goes to show that if you paint something white and throw a bunch of eclectic items inside and charge through the roof prices people will somehow think it's cool. Don't go to this place. read more

Great food and service. Tasty, priced right and the ambiance. Sunlight shining in music creates a vibe but not over powering. Loved it.

I've been to a couple Bartaco locations throughout Atlanta in Inman Park and Midtown and this location has been my favorite experience. Each time I have enjoyed the margaritas because I know it will be fresh, but the food at this location was better in my opinion. The primary difference that I wish I would have known about and could have made me enjoy my previous experiences more are the taco trays. It's a game changer. For less than $40 you get 9 tacos, chips and guac, and two large sides. I was here with three people and it was plenty to split between everyone. I recommend allowing the chef to choose because they are going to choose what is freshest ingredients for your tacos and you honestly can't go wrong with any of them. The only con was having to pay $5 for parking on a Friday night even though the location is in the middle of a shopping center. I guess that's buckhead though... read more

They are consistent and the portobello tacos are amazing. Because they use the corn tortilla wraps, they are gluten free. The weekly lunch special is oh so reasonable. 3 tacos, side salad or soup for lunch for $10. read more

amazing place!!!! Love the tacos, the margaritas are on point, the grilled corn, the rot. Chicken. When me And the boo come we don't play!!! We come with an empty stomach and leave very satisfied!! The manager is awesome also. One of my favorites restaurants in Atlanta! read more

I've been here twice and this place still blows me away. I am personally a fan of the pork belly taco. They had a fish one that was pretty good too. The chips and guac are also really good but you may need to ask for more chips since they don't always supply enough to finish the guac. They have a great draft selection but I think they need to work on their mixed drinks a little. My wife ordered something that didn't taste that good but they switched it out with no fuss. read more

Let me just say, Bartacos are awesome. All locations. If it was socially acceptable to eat every single meal at Bartaco, I would do it. This was my first time trying this location and I was elated to find out they had plantains and pork belly tacos!!!! (When I visited the midtown location last time, they were out of both!) Actually, what happened was, as soon as my cousin and I were seated, somehow the waitress knew I would be ordering plantains, and so she checked the kitchen if they had enough plantains in stock before I even asked! It's like she read my mind! So I ordered plantains, chips and verde (can never go wrong with this), chicken tacos, falafel tacos, curry shrimp tacos, and many many pork belly tacos. I absolutely loved all of them. Especially, the choice of the sauce that came with plantains was very interesting- it was some kind of ranch- which gave a fun kick to sweet and banana-tarpy?-taste of plantains. I don't know if that's how people eat plantains normally, but it was new for me and I loved it. And pork belly tacos are just as good as they sound, if not better. I'm already excited for my next visit read more

It is about time that I write a review for Bartaco. More than 3 visits, and a few options have been tried here. The great things about Bartaco are the following: 1) atmosphere. Hello beautiful people. This location attracts all kinds of good crowds from the Buckhead area. Great for date nights, girls nights, bring your kids or bring your dudes. 2) margaritas. 100% best skinny margarita in the city. This is what you go for, and if this review was based on margaritas, it would be a 5 star. Unfortunately, the food is average, small and overpriced. This is one of the smallest tacos I've ever seen. If you order the ceviche for $7, you think to yourself "did they split this in the kitchen for my imaginary friend?" The quesadilla...two tortillas with some cheese...I don't understand why I even expected more. If you don't drink, you might start when you see the bill. It takes an army of those tiny tacos to fill a small person like me, so imagine if you can really eat! read more

New finding and will come back. Tasty tacos, tamales, grilled corn, chicken soup and ice cream. Busy place, but friendly servers. We actually got seated at a table which belong to no one, waited for a long time and no one served us, we made the complain and the manger came to straight things out. It was very busy so the service was slow, they forgot our entrees, and Oscar's drink never came. :( The server brought us guacamole (on the house) and a duck taco. After the meal, manager came to apologized for what happened today. The bill came out to be $0 dollars, because the manager took care of it, we were very surprised so we tip the waitress $20. read more

Bartaco is way overrated. Tacos are the size of a baseball for over $3 each... Got the chicken (too much sauce), carnitas (dry), and pork belly (meat was yummy but no other flavor from toppings). Waited 30min. Tacos were tiny and were not fresh/warm. Was told they were understaffed but see two waiters talking in a booth not helping serve. Still didn't get our chips and dip till the tacos were eaten. Had to ask to be served water. There is a little card you put on a standee to signal if you need anything but it took 20min to get noticed by a staff member. Overall a mess of a restaurant. Get your tacos somewhere else! read more

I went with a party of 3 on Friday around 8pm. We only had to wait about 15 min to get a table. This was this first time I have ever been here and the experience was really enjoyable. The waitress we had was extremely nice and always came back to our table to make sure everything was okay. The food was a bit different and I sorta enjoyed it. The chicken taco fell apart before I could even get it to my mouth and the Tuna taco had to much balsamic vinegar on it. The chicken bowl could use less peppers but the overall experience was enjoyable!! I might be back again. read more

Went here last night with some friends since I had heard a lot about the Midtown location. I felt cooler just by walking in and seeing the attire of those dining there. It feels like all the people go across the street to Arden's garden for their juice and then walk over to bartaco for healthy tacos "with a story" or whatever. Menu - trendy as ever, all paper-y and folded up. Categorized by "tacos" or "not tacos" and honestly more places should be that blunt. They offer some nice platters as well as a solid variety of tacos and sauces. Food - Food was good! The guacamole app is a decent size but they have these stupid ass hipster-ish chips that are like little frisbees and i guess the idea is we break them down ourselves but it just seemed dumb. Just give us normal fucking chips. Tacos were awesome and ordered and served like sushi, with everyone filling out a card checking off their orders and the server bringing them all out on one tray. They were a bit tiny (keeping the trendy food vibe) but the price was right (no more than $3.50 / taco) and had some atypical varieties like wild boar (excellent). Fish was tasty, and they all have cilantro and onions as a topping which never disappoints. Ambiance - it's a cool spot and always plenty of people to observe. the wait staff uniforms make them look like they are waiting for Tom Sawyer to come tell them to paint a fence and were a little weird in my opinion. They wear these blue plaid shirts, white jeans (my main source of concern) and chucks. Best thing - the art in the restaurant is very cool Worst thing - the size. give me more than a thimble's worth of fish. Would go back for sure but probably grab a light bite before since you can spend a lot of money on not that much food. read more

Sanjay(sp?) is awesome! Thank you for the flight of ice cream! Came for dinner on Saturday. Our group of 4 ordered the large tray to share and it was just enough. Get the margarita-so fresh and so good! read more

This review is for the Buckhead location. The bartender that served us took 30 minutes to make 6 drinks. She smelled the mix she was making - strike 1. The margarita was skunky and the mojito was extremely sour. Luckily our waiter gave us a free round when we sent our drinks back. When we got to our table, service was slightly better. The tray is the way to go if you're sharing between 2 pple (6 tacos, 2 tamales, 2 sides). We ordered pork belly, duck and spicy chorizo. Pork belly was by far my favorite. 2 sides were the spicy cucumber salad and corn, both extremely delicious. The tamales were good but not memorable. I would give this place a second try because the food definitively made up for it! read more

I went to bartaco Chastain Park last night with 6 other girlfriends, and the experience was worth writing a review. BarTaco doesn't take reservations, which is fine because they allow you to call ahead. We called ahead 40 minutes before we got to the restaurant to get on the waiting list. We waited for almost 2 hours before we were seated, and were never given any indication that it'd be that long of a wait. So just know that call ahead doesnt mean anything really. Apparently we were waiting on 2 girls to leave a table for 7, but they didn't really realize that the restaurant was packed and camping out at the table wasn't kosher. The manager, Justin, was extremely apologetic to our group, and recognized how long we'd been patient. He promised to take care of us when we sat down and boy did he! Margaritas for the table (delicious!), guacamole for the table (yum!) coleslaw for the table (yassss). Basically all of their appetizers were brought out, and they were all quite tasty, and I highly recommend the spicy cucumber salad. The tacos were great, and then they brought out churros for us on the house as well. All in all my major gripe was the wait time. I get that it's Buckhead on a Thursday night, but the wait was extreme, and there was no warning that it was going to be that kind of wait, but in the end they handled our hangry girl group with grace. I'll definitely go back and give them a second chance. read more
