Such an underrated spot in Tampa but perfect a quick lunch or dinner! Prices are so wonderful and I love ordering on my phone! Don't skip the ahi tuna they have it's amazing. I was coming here for years before trying it and it's really delicious! Great vibe great location fast service! I've never had a bad experience here in the years I've been coming it's only gotten better. read more

Really enjoyed our meal at Bartaco. Caesar was very friendly and funny and checked on us frequently. We went on a perfect day when there were many people seated on the patio and the music provided a lively atmosphere. The chips provided with our guac and salsa were fresh but slightly salty for me. My husband really enjoyed his chicken tortilla soup and my favorite was the mushroom taco. I loved the different hot sauce options. They are slowly moving back to full service rather than QR codes which I like more! read more

bartaco is absolutely FABULOUS! Everything about this place is a vibe--from the atmosphere to the food, it never disappoints. The chips and salsa trio is so good, and I love all the different salsas--each one has its own unique flavor and kick. I also always get a side of plantains and the cucumber salad, which are both so refreshing and delicious. I usually order three tacos: the chicken verde, mojo pork carnitas, and seared chorizo, and they are always perfect. The tacos are the perfect size--filling without being too heavy. Every visit is amazing, and the food is consistently top-tier. Highly recommend if you love great tacos and a fun atmosphere! read more

Bartaco - Mexican Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I have to give BarTaco five stars. Beautiful location in Hyde Park, parking can be a bit tricky but it would be worth the headache lol. Once you get to the restaurant, they provide outdoor and inside seating. I love sitting outside to people watch. Also, the ambiance is nicely decorated. Great service is always a thing for me and I love the quality service the staff provides. My favorite is duck taco, cauliflower taco plantains and the street corn in a bowl! Enjoy! read more

Floridians have to be the most spoiled people when it comes to fine dining and cuisine. Every place I have visited has been top tier! We stopped in at Bartaco after 3 recommendations while walking around Hyde park. We arrived and was immediately seated. I had the guacamole, sangria, and duck birria. Their menu has stars beside popular items but I had items with no stars and thats a shame because what I tasted was phenomenal. The homemade sangria is the duck birria was AMAZING!! My husband had a taco mix of some kind that looked really good and he was happy with but my food was so good I didnt even sample his. It is cute snd nice that they explain on the menu that their taco sizes are about 3 bites and serving is 4-5 tacos. To round out our meal we had churros (they were homemade with two delicious sauces) the food was so good we took a mile walk afterwards. I would definitely return! read more

Food was good but our service was top tier. Cute restaurant and affordable prices. Will definitely be back.

I love @bartacolife for so many reasons!! Delicious food, fun vibes, consistently great service, and a space that's always clean and welcoming. One of my favorite things? Each month they launch a secret taco that supports a great cause. It's part of their #givingtaco initiative, and it makes every bite feel even better. Big news: bartaco just partnered with @drinkopenwater to serve the crispest tasting water in the most sustainable way. Think ultra-purified, electrolyte-packed goodness in fully recyclable, BPA-free aluminum cans. (It's giving clean conscience & clean taste.) And if cocktails are your thing, trust me, you'll want to order one. They use the freshest ingredients and hand-squeeze juice right at the bar. Basically... if you're not already obsessed, it's only a matter of time with 6 locations in FL! read more

I wish I took pictures but we were busy enjoying ourselves lol we tried many different tacos, all were delicious but my fav was the pork belly. I've really been into fruit with tajin lately and was so pleased to see that it was on the menu. The fruit was delicious and fresh. I will absolutely be back!! read more

Was walking through Hyde Park when the place caught our eye. We were put on a waitlist which ended up only being a few minutes. Service was great all around from the hosts, servers, bartenders, etc. You can tell they actually care about your experience. I got two chicken tingas and two seared chorizos tacos while I shared some salsa and pineapple soft serve with the table. All were unique and if you need a little more flavor, there's plenty of salsas for you to add yourself. Entire place is unique and welcoming, I started taking photos the moment I walked in. Would highly recommend, even if it's a bit of a drive cause you don't only get the restaurant, but the entire neighborhood it's in. read more

I visited Bartaco on a girls day with a group of 6. We called ahead for a table because the location that we go to is so busy. We were seated within about 15 minutes on a busy Saturday afternoon. Most of us used the mobile order option to order our food and drinks. I got the Paloma which was okay. I have gotten it here in the past and I did not love it as much. I opted to not order food because I think the tacos are so ridiculously small. Others did and I gave those tacos the same side eye I always do. The service was good and the atmosphere is lively. I don't really pick this place to dine on my own but end up there with groups. read more

If you are in the area, you definitely need to stop here. The food is so good and the guacamole is off the chart amazing. The service is good, but these people are always busy so folks need to be patient and when we were there they were. Everybody was having such a good time. This place did not disappoint from the moment you walked in the door to the moment you leave. We'll definitely be back. Hopefully they open one in Punta Gorda. read more

We had an awesome dinner at the bartaco bar! All cocktails are made with fresh ingredients and delicious. The tacos are small (can fit in the palm of your hand) but you can sample a few different ones! Highly recommend the al pastor pork tacos which were delicious. We had great service at the bar, a great place to sit if you have a small party and can grab a seat. Otherwise you may be waiting an hour for a table so get there early! read more

Bartaco - salsa roja + chips - Mexican Near Me - Tampa, Florida

WELL...I think this place takes the cake (or should I say key lime pie) as to "Why don't I come here more often???" vibes. I've been to BarTaco before, and while great, I'm not often in the mood for tacos, so I went ahead and got something NOT tacos, and was rewarded rather handsomely with finding yet a new favorite eatery in Hyde Park. First off, the restaurant is open air and spacey, not to mention dog friendly, and with them being so welcoming with my little Muffin, I'll be sure to come back for more. And now with the food: For this meal, I went with the Duck Birria, the street corn, their key lime pie (in a mason jar) and their honey dew acqua fresca (because it nuclear hot day--'kay??). If you've been following my reviews, you would know that I LOVE birria. I LOVE duck. Duck birria??? Wow. This did not disappoint. Crispy outershell, tender duck, and thick n spicy dipping sauce (forgot the name) was perfection. I was glad it wasn't very big because it was hot and somehow I just can't eat as much when I'm hot. But man, that was good. Next I had the street corn. It had the right balance of spice and cream, (which I made even spicier by dumping some of the birria sauce on it) and really hit the spot, which is good because I really love corn. I wasn't sure if I was going to get drinks or desserts, because I didn't know how full I would be after the birria and corn--but I got dessert and I'm so glad I did! Their key lime pie (in a mason jar) was perfect, the sweet whipped cream making a great contrast to the key lime custard and graham cracker. Again, not an overwhelming size, so I was able to down the whole thing without feeling overly full. The aqua fresca was perfectly refreshing with just the right amount of sweetness to refresh and cool me off. Did I mention that the staff was TOTALLY on point? Everyone was great here, and I'm glad they were cool with me needing to walk away from my table a few times to walk Muffin. My server checked on me several times and was more than happy to add on my dessert to my order. On a side note... I just noticed that you can see nutrition info on the menu, which is nice if you're trying to eat reasonably, so I'll definitely be back even if not to indulge. Lots of healthy items on the menu. Taco may be on the name, but they're more than just tacos! (But I think when I'm in the mood, I'll get that, too). read more

The tacos were full of flavor and everything came out pretty quickly for a dinner rush-hour on a Thursday evening. I loved the margaritas especially the watermelon margarita. The chips and guac were very good and I like how they came out with full tortillas. The tortillas were very well seasoned and they had a nice crunch with no greasey feel. I definitely want to come back and try the other tacos. The ambience is very lively and energetic. read more

This is becoming one of my favorite places to eat while shopping and hanging out in Hyde Park. It's generally very busy ... we were seated in about 20-25 min ( they'll Text you when your table is ready). You can also enjoy drinks at the bar while waiting. Place has a really good vibe... I like the atmosphere. We had several people check on us while we were there. They have a decent selection of tacos. I had a ribeye, chicken and fish. They were all good but the ribeye was the best. We ordered a large guac and chips for the table ... wasn't that large in my opinion. Others in the party had bowls that they liked. They were out of Tito's vodka so I ordered Pearl. It's a fun place with good food, good vibe and good service and reasonable prices read more

Bartaco crushed. Drinks, food, and service were all on point. Carrie took good care of us. Absolutely loved the ahi lettuce tacos and battered fish tacos. I also ordered the roasted half chicken, which I would recommend if you're extra hungry. Don't get me started on the churros or tres leches. Will be back! read more

The best margaritas around! They freshly squeeze all juices making it super refreshing. We opted to sit at the bar (first come first serve) which is always a fun environment. You are able to join the waitlist online, but be sure to check-in once you arrive to the establishment to secure your spot. The ordering system is perfect for those who aren't very hungry & for those who came to eat! We ordered the small guac, which is a perfect snack. Mushroom & falafel tacos for vegetarian options. As well as the fish taco. All the tortillas held up well which is very important haha! They also have a half chicken and kids menu for those not interested in tacos. Would highly recommend for cocktails and/or food! read more

The margaritas are so fresh and crisp, it's hard to have just one. My favorite tacos are the tuna on lettuce, the pork belly (and I'm not really a pork girl normally), and the Baja fish. Get the trio dip too so you can add them to your tacos. I love the upscale vibe and always sit at the bar. One of my favorites spots hands down. read more

This was one of the better restaurants that does their menu the best. Each of the tacos are small but full of flavor. Cocktails were outstanding And worth it just to go for them. Sangria was a fun twist on sangria. The hostess and waitresses were all great as well had several help out. Great environment with lots of seating and fun artwork and items around the restaurant. read more

Bartaco was a great experience for us. Our server Soraya was fantastic. She explained the menu and how everything worked with ordering on the cards and putting them up if needed. She answered some questions and made sure we had a high chair and everything for our baby. She was just very pleasant in general. Everything we had was good. The churros came out first and Soraya apologized and said she could have more come out later after our other food. The kids tray was great, a taco, cheese quesadilla, corn on the cob, and pineapple for $8.50. Our daughter enjoyed it all. We did too. I ordered the carnitas, chile lime shrimp, ahi tuna, and roasted duck tacos. My favorite was the roasted duck, the carnitas had a great flavor as well and could tell it had marinated for some time to absorb all the flavors. The ahi tuna was a nice fresh feeling switch up with the lettuce wrap. The shrimp one was okay, not my favorite. My wife got the Baja fish, pork belly, and ribeye tacos she said she enjoyed them all. The sauces on the table were all solid didn't love any of them but tried them all. Really cute place in a fun area. Would go back, food was good, but the great service would bring us back. read more

Poor service, not thrilled w menu being sold out of an item early in the day. And chopped salad with added chicken was missing ingredients... it was basically chopped lettuce and the added pulled tasteless chicken (3 small pulled pieces) with nothing else but salad dressing w some shredded carrots (and when notified server, he said he was going to address it and waited 15 minutes and nothing) overall, underwhelming... Not a fan.. not coming back! read more

Foo at the bar was awesome! He schooled me- this is a gluten allergy haven for all. Nobody wants quesadillas and certain deserts anyway. The crispy oyster is GF and they only use tamari so if you are a celiac, you may want to come hither! If you haven't visited, it's a cool hangout-super sunshine during the day, good music at night. Everyone here is so sweet too, the service and the patrons (: Omg I almost forgot to mention the food!!!!! All of the tacos are fantastic- IF the brisket taco is home- order that!!!!! The crispy outer, the Baja fish, the pork belly, the mushroom, I mean- I haven't met a taco I don't love here. The street corn is so good too. read more

Visited here after doing a candle making class as the lady recommended it and it was delicious! Their menu isn't too big but the items that are on it are definitely stars. I got a chicken bowl and my friend got the pork one. We traded halfway through to try each others which to me the pork one was better and my friend liked the chicken one too. I also got yo try their tea and wasn't expecting a giant vase for only $4!? Was so good! The restaurant itself was beautiful very open and lively. Can't wait to go back! read more

I love bartaco, and when visiting Tampa for my bachelorette, it was a must that we go. We were expecting different food being in Florida, but all the bartaco menu options seemed to be the same, as the one we have back home in New York. We were not disappointed though, all of the food was just as good and made just the way we like it. Our waitress knew that it was my bachelorette party and she gave me a special drink. She made us feel so welcome and me so excited to be celebrating my bachelorette party with my friends. Out of all the restaurants we went to, she was one of only two who did us something special for my bachelorette party. So happy we were able to try this Bartaco in Tampa!!! read more

Bartaco is located in the posh yuppy Hyde Park district of South Tampa next to lululemon, Meat Market Steakhouse, & Buddy brew coffee. The ambiance of bartaco is kinda beachy and reminds me of Hollister with white wood walls out of 2 x 4s, light wood colored tables out of 2 x 4s from Home Depot, a U shaped bar large with liquor behind glass overhead compartments and retro alt rock playing including Franz Ferdinand. We went on a Monday and it was packed. There was no booth seating available and we had to sit at the bar. The bar stools were also made from wood 2 x 4s from Home Depot, and very uncomfortable and need cushions, need a back to the chairs, and some better finish. Unfortunately Service was very very slow. It took 10 minutes to get a menu, another 10 minutes to get a drink, another 10 minutes to get chips and guac, and another 50 minutes to get simple tacos and a rice bowl. Management needs to add cushions to the seating as it is very uncomfortable and looks like it was hand made w a saw as a diy project. The bar area only had 1 person working and 3 people cutting limes but more people should have been serving customers as service was too slow. The guac + verde salsa + roja small salsa 3 dip trio with chips for $14 was highway robbery. Most other restaurants offer 3 dips and chips for $6 and most taco spots offer unlimited complimentary chips and salsa but this place does not. For $14 we did not get a refill on any salsa or chips. The chips were not broken down and round tortilla shells and unsalted. Asked the server to salt the chips and it took her another 10 minutes to bring chips. The guac is a bit on the bland side, the verde green salsa is not bad, and the Roja red salsa is crazy spicy and too smoky for my taste. The bland unseasoned chips ruined this and the price is not a good value at all. 2/10 The glazed pork belly taco was crispy sweet and savory 10/10 The sesame ribeye had a nice flavor 9/10 The tuna tatako 8/10 The chile-lime shrimp was a bit of a let down on flavoring but I do love shrimp regardless 7/10 The roasted duck was a bit gamey but I'm never a fan of duck 6/10 The seared chorizo was a bit too oily 6/10 The spiced chicken verde bowl came with uncooked vegetables but should have had sautéed veggies, the chicken was on the bland side, and the bowl was way too small and not filling enough for 1 person if they're hungry. 4/10 The tacos at bartaco are way too small for the price and there is no bundle deal for 3 or 5 or 6 tacos so you have to spend over $20 to get full from tacos while at most other taco places you can just spend $6-$10. The seating at bartaco needs padding as it is very very uncomfortable. Bartaco kitchen needs to churn out tacos a little faster than 50-60 minutes. The only reason this place is busy I suspect is because of all the people living right next to there that don't want to drive 8-10 minutes down the street for green lemons superior tacos. If you're in the south tampa area, I don't recommend Bartaco but I do recommend green lemons superior tacos, taco dirty, or Miguelitos for tacos. read more

I really can't ever say enough Greta things about this place. I wish I had more pictures of the food this time. But the star of she show is there, the pork belly taco. It's their best one. Their salsas (try the green one) and guac are great. The plantains with that avocado dip is to die for. Your bill will add up quickly since the tacos are so small but not anything more than you would spend anywhere else in downtown Tampa. I take everyone that visits me where and everyone loves this order by taco concept and unique flavors read more
