Great experience ordering delivery from BarTaco! We ordered the pork belly tacos and ceviche and everything was amazing. Even through delivery, the pork belly was tender and flavorful! At first I didn't think there was enough for the taco pack of four tacos but it was the perfect amount! I do think there needs to be a sauce with it but that's just personal preference! The ceviche was super fresh and flavorful with a mix of different types of fish to indulge in! I'm looking forward to going and trying it in person. We've only been to one bartaco in person and that was in Tampa and the experience was great so I'm hoping for the same here in DC! Will definitely be our new go to place for pork belly tacos and I'm looking forward to trying their other variations as well! read more

Mexican street food spot in MVT. Pretty good selection of street tacos to choose from including some interesting ones like duck and crispy oyster. Also some vegetarian options like cauliflower and roasted brussels. The carne asada, baja fish, and pork belly were the favorites of the table. Drinks were quite good - strong sangria and the passion fruit Oaxaca margarita was perfect. Lastly the churros with a scoop of vanilla ice tea was the perfect way to end our meal. Definitely worth it. Ask for extra condensed milk if that's something you like. read more

I came here for happy hour with a friend and we sat at the bar. The service was great, and the restaurant had a really nice vibe -- relaxed but lively. I ordered the tuna tartare with crispy rice and the Mexican shrimp cocktail. The shrimp cocktail was a bit smaller than I expected, and I think the tartare was served with brown rice, which wasn't my favorite, but the fish in both dishes was really fresh and flavorful. I also had a cocktail (can't remember the name, but it had tequila!) that I really enjoyed. Overall, I'd definitely come back to try their tacos since that's what they're known for. It seems like a great spot for casual drinks and bites with friends. read more

This location has some prime real estate! Right on the corner in DC, very clean and spacious and lots of seating at bar and patio! The food was really good as usual! Portions and tacos are a little smaller in comparison to your average taco but I love their flavors and options. The summer duo beef taco is so delicious and the lobster is buttery. Service was exceptional. Waiter was friendly, door greeter was friendly, bartender came to double check how I'd like my drink made! Would def return! read more

Bar tender was great. Made great drinks and gave me a free desert. I'm not special, but they give away scratch and win cards and I won a free desert. But I was so from the food I ordered, that I will use the card to come back and get dessert! They have a special happy hour menu between 9-12pm. It is really affordable ranging from $3 to $9 per order. The lights and chattering plus drinks make it worth it to visit. Great environment for solo or groups. read more

If you're looking for a fantastic lunch spot, look no further than Bar Taco. This place is always a good time, with a laid-back vibe and great outdoor seating that's perfect for enjoying your meal in the fresh air. The food here is consistently delicious and easy to order, making it a breeze to grab a bite during a busy workday. The service is impressively fast, which is a huge plus when you're on a tight schedule. I particularly love their carafe of iced tea, it's the perfect refreshing drink to complement your meal. On my last visit, I decided to try the oyster tacos for the first time, and let me tell you, I fell in love. They were absolutely amazing. read more

We loved our visit here! In an out in under an hour on a Sunday evening with zero complaints. Highlights include: The salsa verde: flavorful and not watered down. They give you 4 hard corn tortillas as "chips" so that was different but not in a bad way. Duck tacos: my husband literally closed his eyes and said "mmmm" when he bit into one. Clearly a hit with him! Falafel tacos: fun, cute, flavorful. Definitely not authentic (this is not the place for authenticity). Add some of the jalapeno or habanero salsa on top for a kick if you need it but it's great without it! Our drinks were good (old thymer and mojito) and complimented our meal nicel We really liked the chicken tacos and the cauliflower taco but they weren't runaway hits. Still good though! As I mentioned, this isn't an authentic taco experience by any measure but the drinks are good, the tacos are tasty (with solid veggie options for those who don't eat meat), and if you come during off-peak hours you'll get pretty good service! Looking forward to the North Bethesda location opening! read more

Bartaco Mt Vernon - Fish Tacos - Tacos Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Should be a 2.5 star if that was an option. It was bustling on a Friday night, we had trouble with the waitlist and even tried calling and gave us the runaround. That should have been the first flag that this was going to be an issue. They try to encourage you to order and pay via the QR code, but you can flag your server down if you put a card up. Half of the party had issue paying with the online system so we had to order via the server. The portions were really small, the salsa was overall decent. Got the verde and the roja and people said the latter was spicy, but I needed to add more hot sauce for flavor. Needed to order more chips because they gave you three small tortillas for the side. I ordered the cauliflower tacos and they were so tiny. They had maybe two pieces of cauliflower and a smidge on hummus on it. The corn tortilla was cold. Plus they forgot about my order, the rest of the party had their food and we had to flag our service down twice in order to alert them that we had missing food. They did nothing to compensate the missing food nor did even acknowledge it. Depsite us ordering separately and asking to be separate from the beginning they made a big fuss about it. We were trying to celebrate a friend's birthday and it left a subpar mood on the group because of the trouble. Our server seemed a little scared of our table and that they were overwhemled. The place was busy, but even the people dropping off food were okay. It seems like they keep all of the food ready in the back and just slop it on when it is ordered rather than really being made to order. Overall meh and would not recommend coming here. It is a chain, but I do not see how it is popular enough to have more than one location. read more

A very good experience at this Bartaco location in Mt. Vernon. The tacos are delicious and the customer service is very good. There is ample indoor and outdoor seating. During the warmer months, the patio is a great option. The scene outdoors is set as this location is on the corner of a busy DC intersection. Perfect for happy hour. I wouldn't necessarily consider the tacos authentic as much as I would gourmet, however they are delicious. I do wish the tacos were larger, but I appreciate the fact the business is transparent on the menu to describe the size of the tacos being 2-3 bites per taco. For me, it is more like 2 bites. On this visit, my favorite taco was the Baja Fish; second favorite, the pork belly. Initially, I didn't know what to think of the slaw paired with the fish, but it ended up being a very good complement to the fried fish. Overall, a very good experience and I will visit again. read more

Was a great time overall. We came in on a Tuesday evening and sat on the patio. Very nice vibe and energy. Our server was great and knowledgeable. There were also food and drink runners so everything came out quickly. I had a Berry Colada mocktail. Tacos are small one per order. I ordered a Verde chicken and Pork Belly. They both were good, but the Pork Belly has a sweet sauce that was delicious! Got a beef rice bowl that was also good and a small portion. Street corn and Plantain for sides. Lastly, churros for the win! Overall a great experience. read more

Very innovative options, especially the tuna tatako tacos where the items were wrapped in a piece of lettuce instead of a traditional tortilla, which I actually thought was a very good idea because instead of absorbing the tuna flavor like a tortilla would have, the lettuce separated the tuna flavor from itself, reducing the impact of strong fish flavor and making the taco taste more neutrally friendly. The spicy chicken verde tacos were like the most traditional tacos with cilantro, white onion, and lime, and tasted like what I had expected. The crispy shrimp tacos, interesting enough, had cabbage slaw on it, which tasted a bit bland, and had to use the sauce on the side to make it better. The mushroom tacos tasted good with roasted poblano chile sauce on it, along with queso fresco cheese bits. That one was my friend's favorite, and my second favorite. Since my friends and I did take out on this one, we didn't have the dine in experience, but I walked past the establishment and it looked pretty fancy inside. Hopefully one day I can give it a try dining in! read more

Been to a few Bartaco locations and the consistency is there with the food and drinks. They also have the most efficient ordering system which I feel more places should adapt - you order everything directly from your phone and each member of your party can have their own bill with no problems. And your order comes out within a few minutes! While I think the drinks could be stronger, they are very delicious. This was probably the best Ranch Water I've had anywhere. The chile lime shrimp taco was way spicier than I thought it'd be (I have a very low spice tolerance) but otherwise it was cooked well. This location had a pineapple taco special that was superrrrr good, I should've ordered more of just these. The smaller kale salad was good but could've done with more dressing - same for the tuna salad. The tres leches tasted like a refrigerator at the top but the bottom half was okay but didn't give me real tres leches feels. You really can't go wrong if you want something quick and casual but still get a good dine in experience. read more

Got blasted with music when I first stepped into the joint.... Then we trying to get a simple table/spot for two we were hit with a 20 minute wait while their were multiple tables open. Didn't try the food so can't comment on that but couldn't even get in so as of now.... 1 star for the result... a lot of effort for unfair denial read more

Bartaco is always upbeat, fun and super chill at the same time even as summer came to an end. The cocktails were very refreshing. The Ranch Water was strong and tart. The Lunch Rice Bowl Tray with the choice of soup and rice bowl. The tray included a Spiced Chicken Verde Bowl that was very well seasoned and mildly spicy with fresh crunchy peppers. The Warm Buttered Lobster Taco was buttery, meaty and easily consumed in a single bite. The chicken soup and its unexpected, yet pleasant spiciness. Both managers were hospitable, friendly, and could be seen interacting with other guests and servers all over the restaurant. read more

The tacos here are fine. They're advertised as "street tacos" (aka smaller size than regular tacos); they're priced the same way that the usual tacos would cost so be prepared to pay slightly more than you would at most taco places. This place is great if you want to grab a drink and a quick snack. It's also great if you get their free taco tokens that they frequently give out as promos. But as an actual dinner spot, the prices run a bit deceptively high and I don't think it's worth it. The tacos themselves are okay - I think the tortillas are a bit on the dry side and found the lettuce wraps honestly better tasting. It's a solid amount of filing they give - they don't skimp but they also don't provide that much filling. The tacos again, are fine. They're not bad but not particularly memorable. I wouldn't recommend the chorizo - I love chorizo normally but their chorizo tacos were just a bit "meh". The fish tacos were solid - I've liked all of hte seafood tacos I've had there so I recommend ordering those. The service is excellent - every time I've been here, the waiters are super helpful, friendly, and warm. The ordering is done via QR code so it's pretty easy. The outdoor seating area (roofed) is also an excellent place to sit on a nice evening. The place itself is very friendly for a group or catching up with a friend - both the indoor and outdoor area aren't too loud and the seats very comfortable. read more

I am a fan!! I started with the tuna poke. This was my favorite bite of the entire meal. Came with fresh tortilla chips, the tuna was cut up in tiny bite size pieces, and the spicy poke dressing totally hit the spot. The tacos are small but still yummy. I really enjoyed the Baja fish, but I wasn't a huge fan of the chili-like shrimp. The Baja fish was following and well cooked, but the chili-lime fish was so spicy I couldn't finish the small bite and was a little too sour. I really want to come back during "high tide" aka happy hour! The prices are unbeatable and the outdoor patio seating is a vibe! On top of all of that, the staff is really nice and friendly - especially the ladies at the host stand! read more

Stopped here for lunch yesterday with some colleagues. Food was fantastic, I can wait to go back and try more tacos. I tried 4 different ones (falafel, both chicken options, and beef) all were great and had interesting flavor combos. I also got the pineapple with tajin and will have to start making that at home. My only complaint was that the service is a little disjointed. We each ordered on our own device but on a shared tab. Food was mixed together when it came out so we had to do a bit of juggling. Not a big deal. read more

One of my favorite places. Was meeting some people from work for lunch and they were looking for a place to go. I suggested this place because the food is good and everyone gets their own checks so no need to worry about splitting it at the end. My all-time favorite taco here is the pork belly taco on Bibb lettuce. My favorite drink is the green margarita. We sat outside in the vibe was so nice. We had the breeze and were able to see people walking down the street without feeling we were in the middle of everything. Service was superb! read more

I really do think bar taco has some of the best street tacos in DC. Now that being said they are a dollar more than any street taco should be lol. Their duck birria is a must though and so so good. On this venture to bar taco I tried the lunch special! Which they don't advertise!! It is a salad or soup and then three tacos. I got the soup, which is really just chicken noodle without noodles . I was kinda hoping for some Mexican or Spanish flavors but really just chicken noodle haha, which is fine and all but not special. The tacos I got the fish which I think is their best, the duck... a good second and the special battered shrimp, which was good but would write home about. For me this place is a tried and true even if overpriced since it's hard to find better in these parts. But I would say for sure my hard recommendations are the duck Birria ... you'll go crazy. The rotisserie chicken is actually really good and a good price and for tacos go for the duck and the cod for sure. If they have the pastor get that as well. I don't really like sweet or Asian influenced tacos so the steak and pork belly are immediately off my list to recommend, but hey! Someone must like sweet Asian tacos! Those are for you! Service is really good here and Byron the manager is really nice. read more

Stopped by to get a drink for a friend's birthday. Our group sat at the bar and ordered drinks and small bites. I had a tequila flight. The service was ok. I had to interject while the bartender was making our flights, as one of the glasses that she was going to use was visibly dirty. It took a long time to close out our bill, once we were ready to go. We also had to ask to get refills on water. read more

I'm glad I finally got to try this place! I enjoyed the ambiance and decor. It was a solid spot for drinks and a small plate dinner on a Thursday night, and is a cute place for a date or to meet a friend (though for the former you might want to choose dishes that are less messy to consume). We sat at the bar, and had delicious spicy margaritas. The panachos were tasty, but challenging to eat without making a mess (big chips with lots of stuff on top). Still my favorite bite, though! The tuna tatako taco was yummy, but the lettuce wrap was a poor choice of vehicle. The whole thing fell apart. Maybe I just had a ripped leaf. The mushroom taco was pretty good! I would order it again. I thought prices were reasonable. read more

Okay, let's first start by saying this....I live for a good restaurant experience which eliminates long wait times to order and wait for the check....This place offers both ordering and payment services at the click of a button on the app. And yes, there are servers on staff to answer questions and bring out your items...But, it eliminates the "check splitting" dilemma and cutbacks on the time needed to dine, pay, and dash! And now that this is out of the way, let's move on to say that this restaurant has amazing service! The aesthetics is perfect for those picture lovers but the staff adds a special shine to the building. Food: I want to go right for the thing that won me over....At the recommendations of the server, we ordered 3 tacos each...they are relatively small so you'll want to order enough to fill you. They run between $2.94 and up and are very pocket friendly! I ordered the Baja fish, chicken verde, and the glazed pork belly. My favorite was the glazed pork belly because it offered just the right seasoning and spices to help you pause with each bite, and appreciate the flavorful feelings! My least favorite was the Baja fish and mainly because I didn't care for the slaw added to it and the fish was bland. My second favorite was the chicken verde but I've had better. So pork belly was the winner and came in with a perfect 10! Next, I ordered the Mexican street corn and while I've had better, it was actually really creamy and tasty. 7/10 Overall, I'll be back again because this place opens the door for several visits. Don't just read my review, do a walk in and treat yourself to lunch...you'll be pleased! read more

Officially a fan. I was invited to a Yelp event here a few weeks ago and of course stopped back in to try more of the menu. The cuisine is a blend of Carribean and Spanish influences creating a very unique menu full of amazing flavors. The food, staff and overall vibes were just A1. I'm certain I'll be spending a good number of summer days on their outdoor patio situation. Okay reasons for 5 stars: - the food is damn delicious. I've tried a good number of items on the menu...and everything is REALLY good. Things to try: - Fish Taco - shrimp taco (spicy but SOOO GOOD. currently my fav) - pork belly taco - bean soup - guacamole (SOOO GOOD) - secret taco for July (lobster taco ) - guac + roja + verde + chips (all of the dips were amazing) - THE SPICY MARGARITA! They have a very special way of crafting their margaritas and it really is perfection - cauliflower taco - the service is great! - they allow pups on the patio - the space is just really cute. - they have a contactless ordering system (at least on the patio) so you can order and pay from your phone Tips: - there's no official parking BUT you can park in the Safeway parking lot for 90 minutes with a $5 purchase at the grocery store. So basically $5.00 parking...which is unheard of in dc - no reservations BUT you can call up to 30 minutes ahead of time to get on the waitlist - try the margarita. Trust me. - the tacos are small so I would get 3 or 4 per person Things i hope they incorporate in the future - happy hour. Everyone loves a good happy hour...so hoping they can figure out a way to incorporate it. - that's it. Like I said...excited to spend some summer evenings on the patio. Food is bomb, service is great...drinks are delicious! read more

Stopped in after a long day of volleyball at the convention center. My girl wanted chicken tacos, so we were on a mission to find some! Mike greeted us at the door and although the wait was going to be a long one, we had some fun banter back and forth. Fortunately, Mike worked his magic and was able to get us seated quickly. So much fun and will definelty return and hope to have Mike again. Tacos were worth the trip! Baja fish & shrimp for me. Chicken and duck for my daughter. Friends came with us for chips and guacamole and drinks. Guacamole was super fresh and delicious. Dessert was decadent. Key lime pie for me and vanilla (yes she's boring) ice cream for my daughter. Both incredible! Cocktails were the perfect addition to the already amazing meal. 10/10 recommend. read more

I have been to a few Bartacos and wanted to try this location. While I was excited for this new addition to Mount Vernon Triangle, I was not thrilled by the food. I preface this with I'm from CA and love myself a good quality taco. I had a variety of tacos and they were just ok. However, the guacamole and drinks were perfect just as they across all Bartacos. The servers were very friendly, but just note you are not going for the service as you do not have a dedicated person who comes to check. This location was also very loud. Unfortunately, I will not be going back. read more

3.5 stars! Came to bartaco around 5pm on a Saturday and had a nice time. They have a really lovely patio and the place both inside and out has a great beachy aestetic and ambience. Everything is done through QR code which is easy and convenient and if you need help or have questions, someone comes to explain how everything works/you can put a little sign up at your table saying you need help which is super nice. These are "street tacos" which just means they're small. About half the size of a regular taco. I had the falafel and ahi tuna taco which is served on a lettuce wrap. Both were packed with flavor and well seasoned. All the tacos were a little too spicy for both my friend and I but if you like tacos with a kick this is a good place. I also had the street corn which was super delicious! Neither of us had drinks but they have a few carafe options for iced teas. I had the ginger mint tea but think maybe they ran out and I actually just got iced black tea with mint leaves. Still tasty and refreshing so not a huge deal. I think bartaco is a great spot if you just want a snack, or drinks with a couple bites, not a full meal. The tacos are really small but around the same price as a regular sized taco, ~$4ish, so they don't feel worth the price to me. That being said, really friendly staff and cute aestetic for drinks! read more

This place is a lot of fun! At night, it's pretty lively with great music playing fairly loudly. Tacos are delicious, with so many fun flavor combos. I got the duck, mushroom, rib eye, and pork belly and I think the duck one was my favorite it was exceptional. The guac was meh and churros were fun but nothing special. Drinks were strong, but not super tasty. We got about four tacos each, and that was filling but not too much food by any means. On the pricier side, but the tacos are great with high quality ingredients. read more

Ok so I think the food here is a solid 4.5. Tacos are very good, but they are definitely small street tacos for about $4 each. I know some people have complained about the price, but these aren't your typical carne asada street tacos. Instead, they have options like duck, brisket, fish, etc. so I think the price is pretty reasonable. You'll need to order at least 4 tacos for lunch though. Service was quick, and waiter was nice. I personally don't love ordering on apps, but that's the set up here. read more

My friend and I deviated from our usual Asian-food habits and decided to try Bartaco for lunch. I am from Southern California, so was cautiously optimistic about finding a new place in DC with decent tacos. I was heartened to hear the manager (who came over to seat us and get us started) say that they serve Mexican-style street tacos, and that they recommend 4-6 per person. Off to a great start! You order online via QR code, which makes it super easy to order refills and extra tacos as you go. I started with a plate of 4 tacos: pork belly, chorizo, Chile-lime shrimp, and the Baja fish taco. The pork belly was crispy and sweet, a very solid choice. The chorizo was honestly disappointing (oddly bland, which is surprising for chorizo), so I wouldn't recommend it. The shrimp taco was DELICIOUS! Well cooked, and with a delightful spice. No extra salsa needed on that one! I loved it, though I will say my friend didn't finish her shrimp one because she didn't like how spicy it was. However, a huge standout (for both me and my friend) was the Baja fish taco. I have high standards for fish tacos, and this one met them! Crispy, not at all spicy (I added salsa, my friend did not, haha) And beautifully cooked. If you go to Bartaco, would definitely recommend this one and the shrimp one. Service was quick and friendly, and they didn't rush us, even when we lingered for a long time to catch up. Would definitely go back! read more
