My husband and I decided to have dinner at the Bartaco Chastain Park location tonight. It was my first time there, and I really enjoyed it! The restaurant is really cute and kind of beachy. They have a lot of outdoor seating, which is great. They had a fire going outside tonight. We ordered the salsa roja with chips. It was very good, and a little spicy. We had a ton of salsa left after we ran out of chips. My husband ordered the pork belly taco and the tuna taco. He said he should just order 3 pork bellies next time because it was that good. I ordered the steak taco, fish taco, and shrimp taco. The shrimp taco is way too spicy for me, but the other two were so tasty! I will definitely order them again. The fish was so crispy. We both ordered margaritas, and I think they are my favorite margaritas in Atlanta! The service was good. We got our food and drinks really fast. You order from your phone, which is convenient. The only downside is that it can be on the pricier side if you are hungry. But the margaritas are so delicious that it's worth it! read more

Bartaco Chastain Park - Salsa Roja + chips - Mexican Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

This place has a cute outdoor area. The food was good but the portions were really small. I did not like that there is no server. You pull the menu up on your phone order and then pay from a website. You can't ask questions none of that. I think there is much better food for much better service else where. I definitely would have picked a different restaurant had I known we were gonna do everything ourselves. read more

I always forget to get pictures! Went on a Saturday at around 5:30. Parking and seating were both easy and immediate. Service was great! Love their system of having a card to place up if you need your server. Saves you from having to see them to make eye contact. Food was excellent. The Ahi tuna poke was sooo good. My husband was jealous that he didn't order it as well. Loved the fish taco. The sesame ribeye one was just okay. The kids meals are really great. They come with corn wheels, fresh fruit, cheese quesadilla, and one taco. I love that they get a little of everything. The corn is the perfect size for them to eat. Neither of my kids ate the taco (no surprise) but I loved that it was there for them to at least try without being their whole meal. Will definitely be back. read more

First time there, the staff is extremely friendly and the place is really cute. The food is decent at best though, definitely needs more flavor. read more

We ordered delivery and everything was perfect! It was as fresh as if we had eaten in the restaurant! The street corn is the best I've ever had and the fish tacos were amazing! read more

Bartaco serves very creative tacos. Their food looks as good as it tastes. I had the following: 1. Duck Quesadillas 2. Oyster Taco 3. Pork Belly taco While each of the above were good, the pork belly stood head and shoulders above the rest. The glaze on the pork belly was amazing. The corn elotè was just "okay." I guess I had a higher expectations. I can't wait to return to this place. read more

I had a very disappointing experience today. I was in the To Go area waiting to pick up my online order, which I had already placed and was ready for pickup. There was a young woman with a blonde bun assisting another guest. I stood behind them quietly, expecting at least a quick acknowledgment. Unfortunately, she walked past me several times without saying a word--not even a simple "I'll be right with you." After waiting about 5-7 minutes, she finally asked for my name and handed me my bag--no greeting, no thank you, just "What's your name?" It felt cold, rushed, and very unwelcoming. To add to that, I had asked for salt on my chips and extra green cilantro sauce with my baked chicken--neither of which was included. I asked for extra sauce because I was sharing the meal and didn't want to double dip, but I was only given one. Sadly, this isn't the first time I've experienced this type of service at this location, but I've let things slide before. Today was the final straw. It's really disappointing to feel like your presence doesn't matter. I won't be returning, but I do wish the best to anyone who continues to go. read more

I stopped in today with my daughter who has never tried Bartaco and thought we could just grab quick freshly made inexpensive food. We had the best experience with our server Jaquez. He was so welcoming, went above and beyond to ensure my teen could try items and if she didn't like them he'd make sure we were taken care. Jaquez was also training a new employee but he didn't miss a beat with us. He offered more than just great food but it felt like we came to a friends spot to eat. The service and food was awesome. Jeremy (GM) also came by to check on us and I must say we'll be back even though the location isn't the closest to us the experience is worth the drive. Thank you all so much! read more

I've heard great things about this place and was looking forward to it. The ordering/payment system is all through the QR code on your phone. It's a tapas style restaurant so portion sizes are very small, make sure to order plenty. I ordered tacos, nachos, bowl, and drinks. Unfortunately nothing stood out. Service was slow and no one really stops by unless you order something on your phone or flag someone walking by. I'd say it's very pricey for the portion and the limited menu. read more

I loved the vibe here! Our waiter was amazing and had an amazing scarf to match his outfit. His energy was infectious! We ordered the appetizer trio (two salsas and one guacamole). I got the cauliflower taco, mushroom taco, shrimp taco and fish taco. All of these were delicious, but the shrimp and fish were my favorite. I actually don't like mushrooms, but I added some sauce (there are three at the table) and that helped a lot! For the cauliflower one, this was a unique taco. It almost tasted like it had marinara sauce on top of it. When I go back, the shrimp and fish ones will be my for sure repeats. I also ordered a non alcoholic grapefruit drink, which was also really good. My friend had some sort of bowl and an oyster taco. She loved her food as well! read more

Just moved to Atlanta from LA and have been wondering if my new home could fulfill my taco cravings. Let's just say... I found my answer. I would put my experience at Bartaco up against any that I had while living on the west coast. I'd highly recommend the duck taco or duck birria, but every taco I tried was delicious. I'll be visiting again very, very soon read more

This is by far my favorite Bartaco location (mind you, bartaco is my favorite restaurant - but with good reason!). The manager is always super friendly whenever I come in (I forget his name but always remember his face because he is so nice). The ambiance is also super cute so I love to bring my friends and family whenever they're in town. I always get the elotes (street corn) and plantains to start -- their take on maduros with the spicy seasoning and chive dip is really interesting but tasty. My favorite tacos by far are the pork belly and baja tacos. Special shout out to the oyster and sesame ribeye tacos as well. & if you're a margarita girl, try their spicy marg with salt on the rim. The pics speak for themselves! In pictures: Baja Fish Taco, Fish Tacos, Fried Oyster, Glazed Pork Belly, Pork Pastor Tacos, Sesame Ribeye read more

Bartaco Chastain Park - Excellent favor and slightly spicy Everything is delicious and great selection for us vegan lovers - Mexican Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

This is a good Bar Taco location. It has the same ambiance as the others. Cute lights and pictures decorate the wall. This location expanded their outdoor seating area and it is very nice. The food here is good! The guacamole is my favorite thing to get. I also HIGHLY recommend the cauliflower tacos and the rice bowls. The prices are great for street tacos! The only thing I don't like about Bar Taco is the ordering process. Now, you scan the QR code on the table and order and pay for your food their. This is convenient and quicker than a waitress. However, if you have a group of people paying separately you'll all get your food at different times. My friend got their tacos about 20 minutes faster than I got mine because he finished paying before. So this may not be the best place for large groups to go. read more

Great food but small portions with higher prices. Chili lime shrimp tacos were VERY spicy. Can be crowded and loud during dinner even during weekdays and you must order online using your phone and a credit card. Quick to bring food out of the kitchen. read more

This is a nice spot in Chastain Park. I had heard about it and was wanting to try it. I ordered a Cauliflower bowl with pork belly. It was super tasty. The pork belly was cooked perfectly. My friend ordered pork belly tacos and chicken tacos and seemed to really enjoy them. I also ordered a few Whiskey and Ginger drinks. The waitress was really good about making sure that the bartender made them exactly as I asked. Overall, I would come back. This time I sat in a booth but next time, I might sit at the bar or outside. read more

They are extremely skimpy when it comes to ordering drinks. I ordered a honeydew lime agua fresca with no ice to-go with my meal, and this is the amount of drink that they gave me. The drink cost $4. I didn't expect for it to be filled all the way to the rim, but this is really disappointing and lackluster. read more

This restaurant is super cute! The patio was open and they had a fire going, and it would be a great location for date night! We ordered the Birria tacos. They are a duck meat filled quesadilla that you dip in a sauce. A little oily but I thought they were good. We also ordered a fish taco (nicely fried and tasty), a pork belly taco (probably my favorite! Tender and flavorful), a ribeye taco (kind of similar to an American korean taco), shrimp taco, oyster taco. Overall, they all tasted good. They offer a nice selection if you want to try non traditional tacos. The tortillas are street size so they are small. I would recommend ordering several tacos to be full! Which I didn't mind because I wanted to try everything lol. You order through the phone, which is convenient and the manager checked on us several time. She was very friendly and nice and she brought us a coloring book and crayons for our daughter. read more

Best tacos ever! I was in town visiting my line sister last weekend and she mentioned we could check out this taco spot to catch up. Of course I was down because it's tacos and margaritas! So happy I didn't let some recent reviews detour me from going because I am in love with BarTaco now! My LS was already seated when I arrived, we were social distanced and a large garage style window was open and get very airy and comfortable. There was a barcode on the table to scan for the menu, order food and drinks and pay! How ingenious and easy. I live in Charlotte and barcode menus is very common so I'm really not sure why some reviews complained about that. We are, after all, still in a pandemic and this was safe and easy. I loved the ordering process! We had several servers come by and check on us. So much we joked about always being interrupted while we were catching up lol. But that's a great thing! The food was amazing. Every single taco I had was incredible. I ordered the fried oyster taco, ribeye taco, tuna taco and the roasted duck taco. SO FREAKING GOOD!!!! I have never gone to get tacos, ordered 4 different kind and every single one was delicious! BarTaco did exactly that. For dessert we ordered their churros which came with chocolate dipping sauce. They were okay. I've had some pretty legit churros in my day so I'm hard to impress in this arena. But they tried. I also tried the tequila flight and a bargarita. Delish! Overall, don't listen to those other negative reviews. BarTaco is IT!!!!! read more

The pictures I posted are just of the food I brought home. The tacos at Bartaco got devoured before I could even take a picture . I don't come here often but I absolutely love their tacos! Especially the duck and pork belly tacos. The drinks are alright, the ambience is great. I love the inside of this restaurant. It's great for friends, date night or even a solo date. There's also outdoor seating. Everything was great! Now that I'm making this review I'm craving it all over again. read more

Love me some bartaco! This location is near Chastain park in a big shopping center. There is a lot of parking but you might have to walk a bit if it's during peak time. Bartaco is at the very end of the plaza. My friend and I will usually stop here for a quick bite or margarita usually after browsing Homegoods. The margs here are so good and fresh! No sweet and sour mix here. I particularly love the "green" margarita. It usually takes a little longer to prepare since the bartender has to first blend up fresh green juice...I mean it's practically healthy, right?! The watermelon margarita is also super good but is seasonal (spring/summer). Service at the bar is always super fast and friendly! For food, I love the pork belly taco, the tuna taco and the fried oyster taco in particular. While the portions are on the smaller side for the price, I do feel like their food is made with fresh ingredients and minimal grease. I would def come here if you are maybe not as hungry and want more of a vibey experience since there is not complimentary chips and salsa. read more

What happened to this place? This used to be one of my favorite restaurants. The staff are uncomfortable when you walk in and make you feel awkward for asking for a table. The QR code thing is ridiculous. First thing you have to do is whip out your phone and go through a multiple step process that usually doesn't work at first. The previous paper method flows so much better than the new qr method. If they were to back the original ordering method now that the pandemic is long gone, cleaned up the place, and staff weren't so uncomfortable this place could return to what it was. Probably won't though! read more

I really enjoy this Bartaco location. It is easily accessible , and since it is in a shopping center it has plenty of available parking. This is not set up as a typical restaurant where you get a server and they take and serve your order. You are placing your orders via your phone. You scan the QR code on the table and open the tab on your phone. Its pretty cool and it makes keeping track of the orders and bill super easy. You can put in and pay for your own meal or if one person is paying you can just open one tab while everyone still places their own order from their phones. The tacos are smaller and are charged as each so its good for you to try a few different kinds in one sitting, and if you really love one (the pork belly tacos ::insert drooling emoji here::) you can just add another ... or two, on your phone and they will bring it to you shortly thereafter. Their tacos are great and their drinks are just as good. I only wish they added queso to their menu for the chips but the salsa is good. Even though you don't have one main server, everyone who did bring out a drink or a plate for us was very courteous and the service was quick! There was a manager who also walked around just to ensure everything was ok. They have a really nice outside space with heater lamp and string lights which is a really nice ambiance at night time and it was great even in the cooler weather. I'm sure during winter winter, even with the heat lamps inside would be more preferable but if the weather permits take a chance and sit outside. Laugh, drink, eat..be merry! read more

The amount of chicken on my salad was insane it was a fourth of a very small leg and my wife salad was the same the server should have just said we are out of chicken and i could have ordered something else 4:30 on a Thursday evening i showed the waiter and they just laughed and said next time it would be better not sure it would be a next time. read more

Food was elite. Service was friendly / light hearted. Good atmosphere. It's always enjoyable seeing people having a pleasant time at work and it translates into how customers are treated. Casual dining atmosphere with an aesthetic uptick. My favorite taco was the glazed pork belly. Pickled onions were definitely brined with additional herbs that gave a nice under lying flavor not too vinegary or sweet. Shrimp taco is unexpectedly spicy kind of a different take. Duck taco was okay not bad not great. Would be better if they made it crispy or caramelized in some way. Street corn is good they use a different Mayo base and paprika instead of chili. I prefer extra spice and a bit of lime. Guac also good but you have to break the tortillas yourself. It's like a tostada but it doesn't make sense because it's not a tostada. Anyway it was great. Will be back. read more

My boyfriend found this spot just down the street from his apartment. We decided to check this place out since it reminded us of another spot back home. The day was absolutely beautiful! Since ww had been experiencing very cold and cloudy days, it was finally warm enough to enjoy a nice Friday lunch on their patio. We weren't the only ones who wanted to benefit from the good weather, so we had to wait for a table to be available. The host originally told us it'd be a 10-15min wait, but we ended up getting a table within 3mins (BLESS!) When we sat down, the tables felt very sticky. The server then told us that the tables are naturally sticky because of how their alcohol solution used to wipe the tables down interacts poorly with the paint they used for their tables (so at least we know they do consistently clean their tables hahaha). What makes this place unique (at least to me) is that you can order anything you want off the menu on your table and your order will be delivered to you! You can also keep track of your table and customize your bill to pay for yourself or for your entire table (pretty neat!). For the food, I wasn't completely wowed by the tacos. They were pretty decent. I would say the fried oyster tacos were my favorite! The plantains were sweet and delicious and the sauce that accompanied them was tasty! The red sangria wasn't as sweet as I would've liked, but was still enjoyable. read more

It's taco Tuesday and while running errands I spotted Bartaco and decided to stop in and see what all the good ratings were about. They have a full bar and offer to go margarita cocktail mix. All staff members were wearing masks and gloves and adhering to social distancing while I was in the restaurant. Location: In a busy plaza off of Roswell Rd in Chastain Park. Decor: They have a great overall atmosphere with bar and a cute little patio for outside seating. Food: guacamole and chips avocado, lime juice, serrano chiles, onions, and cilantro - very bland I had to doctor it up with some Cajun seasoning, jalapeño, roja, and pineapple habanero hot sauce. Cauliflower taco roasted cauliflower topped with a romesco sauce - the cauliflower itself was good but not a fan of the nut sauce Falafel taco herbed chickpea served over greek-style tzatziki - dry and bland didn't eat it Cauliflower rice bowl roasted cauliflower topped with a romesco sauce - not a fan of the nut sauce the bowl was ok I'm a vegetarian and am sad to say the options that I had were lackluster at best read more

Sorry, I have to choose 3 or 4 stars and I would give 3.5. Bartaco is a few things and it isn't a few other things. What it is: very laid back, easy place to hang out with friends in a stylish room with personable and omnipresent servers and staff. What it isn't: a restaurant. But wait, don't run away, that's not such a bad thing. As I sat at bartaco on a recent Monday night, I wondered to myself if this is the future of dining out in America. A few things jumped out at me. First of all, it appears there is only one way to peruse the menu and place an order- through your phone. Very modern America. Second, there really aren't any 'large format' foods. It's all modestly priced, small plate food that you might set in the middle of a table and share with friends. Third, the drink menu is ecclectic and fun and modern- definitely one where you might order four or five of the different cocktails and again, pass them around amongst friends. So in every way mentioned, I think that Bartaco is a great example of a place that people who may be stuck inside or isolated all day would gravitate to as a safe and happy meeting place to socialize. That's really great. But as I said, I wouldn't go there for the food. It's an inspired menu perhaps of fun sounding Mexican? food but it really isn't that. Let's not insult the brilliance that truly is authentic Mexican food...... read more

One of my good friends had been raving about Bartaco for a while so I went with him to check it out. Bartaco is delicious!!!!!!!! I ordered essential half the taco menu. The tacos are tapas style so they are pretty some. I ordered about 7 tacos and was pretty satisfied with that. My personal favorite was the glazed pork belly. The glazed pork belly taco is the best taco I've had in my entire life. The pork is so tasty and the glaze is out of this world. In my opinion the next best was the Mojo pork carnitas. The top 3 you must try are the 1) Glazed Pork Belly 2) Mojo Pork Carnita 3) Portobella (it's better than you would think) Enjoy! You can thank me later! read more

This is my favorite place to go to when I want guacamole or tacos!! This place is sooo good and once you try it you'll get addicted I promise! I have been going to this location for many years and we've never had a disappointment or complaint about the service nor food! It's consistent every single time although we order the same items every time because we drive 40 minutes to get to this bar taco and it's worth every bit of the drive. We are regulars and we always get greeted by the manager/staff every single time. Great customer service and amazing staff! The manager even comes by our table to say hi when we're visiting which is really nice. We enjoy our lunch/dinner dates here and can't wait to come back soon! The guacamole is the best guacamole I've ever had in my entire life!!! It's ahhhh- read more

We came on a Tuesday and it was surprisingly busy so we waited at the bar and ordered some drinks. We moved to a table once it was available. We ordered through our phones and it was really easy to do. I ordered the pork belly taco, ribeye and fish tacos. All were very yummy. My only "complaint" is that everything comes out as it's available. Which normally would be fine but I ordered ice cream as my dessert and it would have melted because I didn't even start eating my tacos yet. I asked them if they could hold it and get it later. They were pretty hesitant but ended up doing it anyway. Overall the food is great and delicious but I hope they wait for us to finish main dishes before bringing dessert out. read more

Bar taco is always a great spot with a great selection of tacos and drinks. They have a new way of ordering so food does come out separately when in a party. You have the option of getting your tacos on lettuce which is alway a great option especially for those on keto. The new ordering system does make it easy to place orders for additional food and drinks quickly. I highly recommend the pork belly and cauliflower tacos. Also if you are feeling good a tequila flight! read more
