We came to Bartaco for lunch. They don't take reservations, so we waited about 30 minutes at the…read morebar, which turned out to be the best decision we made because we had such lively conversation with our neighbor (an investment banker) and our bartender, Duncan. Both made our day! I will say: Duncan makes the best Berry Coladas!! That drink is SO GOOD! it tastes like a coconut berry smoothie (we got the alcoholic version with rum, but there's a nonalcoholic version as well). Once our table was ready, we were moved to a booth. The overall decor is coastal and cute, with basket-lighting, wooden booths, and multiple ways to order! You can order via your server, QR code, or a paper ballot. We started off with the large sized chips & guac. I was skeptical at first because the guacamole doesn't have tomato, but it was VERY good! We devoured it! For tacos: we got: The baja fish taco: one of my favorites--the fish is perfectly crispy The crispy duck taco: good! Not super crispy, but definitely tasty The cauliflower taco: a surprise hit! I found the flavors very refreshing and well seasoned! The tuna taco on a bed of lettuce: this one can get messy. I ordered with my stomach instead of reading the fine print that it doesn't come in a traditional taco tortilla. The overall taco is good and the tuna has excellent flavor. The taco does come loaded with a sauce that tends to spill--so eat over the tray! My sister got the carne asada taco, and she felt that it could have been better. She felt the carne asada itself was bland and relied on the sauce for flavor. I'm usually skeptical of chain restaurants like Bartaco, but I've been pleasantly surprised: their food is reliably good! (Of note, the Bartaco in Hyde Park Village in Tampa DOES take reservations, unlike this one). I wish this Bartaco also took reservations. On busy days, you can easily expect a 30-45 minute+ wait to be seated here. That being said, the guacamole, the drinks, and the tacos are overall very good! I found that ordering 5 tacos was more than enough to fill me. My sister and I split our bill of berry coladas, large chips & guac, and tacos (5 per person) and it came out to $33.53 per person (with tax and tip).

I used to make it a point to stop here every time I'm in town for work--but after this experience,…read moreI won't be coming back. Last night I placed a large order: burrito de birria, two tamales, pozole, large bag of chips , guacamole, drinks . After driving 30 minutes back to my hotel, I opened the bag to find the tamales were completely missing. Then I tried the pozole, and it was so salty it was absolutely inedible. On top of that, they didn't include a single condiment--just a bland, overly salty soup. I tried calling for 30 minutes straight--no answer. Left a voicemail--no call back. Not that night, not the next morning. Completely ignored. The next day, I went in person to give them a chance to make it right. I had my order number and explained everything clearly. Instead of even attempting to help, they refused to do anything without a physical receipt. No effort to look up the order, no accountability, no customer care. Just excuses. Expecting someone to drive 30 minutes back with uneaten food just to prove a mistake is ridiculous. I ended up having to go to Wendy's just to eat dinner after spending money here--that alone says everything. Mistakes happen, but the way a business handles them is what matters. This place clearly doesn't care once they have your money. This wasn't my first issue here, but it will definitely be my last. Antes hacía un punto de parar aquí cada vez que estaba en la ciudad por trabajo--pero después de esta experiencia, no vuelvo. Anoche hice un pedido grande: burrito de birria,dos tamales, pozole, bolsa de chips guacamole y bebidas. Después de manejar 30 minutos de regreso a mi hotel, abrí la bolsa y me di cuenta de que los tamales no estaban. Luego probé el pozole y estaba tan salado que era completamente incomible. Para colmo, no incluyeron ni un solo complemento--solo la sopa, sin nada más. Intenté llamar durante 30 minutos seguidos--nadie contestó. Dejé un buzón de voz--nadie me regresó la llamada. Ni esa noche, ni a la mañana siguiente. Totalmente ignorado. Al día siguiente fui en persona para darles la oportunidad de arreglar la situación. Tenía mi número de orden y expliqué todo claramente. En lugar de ayudar, se negaron a hacer algo porque no tenía el recibo físico. Ni siquiera intentaron buscar la orden, cero responsabilidad, cero atención al cliente. Puras excusas. Esperar que alguien maneje 30 minutos de regreso con comida que ni siquiera se puede comer es ridículo. Terminé teniendo que ir a Wendy's solo para poder cenar después de haber gastado dinero aquí--eso lo dice todo. Los errores pasan, pero la forma en que un negocio responde es lo que realmente importa. Aquí claramente no les importa el cliente una vez que ya pagaste. No es la primera vez que tengo un problema aquí, pero definitivamente será la última.

To start we ordered the trio: guac, queso, and salsa + chips and the quesadilla. The Trio was good, about what you'd expect for chips and salsa at most places. The quesadilla was quite good as well. I ordered the Lobster roll (forgot complete name) and the Tsunami roll. Both of my rolls were incredible. They were very nice, 10/10 rolls. The fish was fresh, and the flavors were on point. All of my friends also enjoyed the rolls they ordered. I also ordered the fish collar tacos, which is easily the best bang for your buck on the menu. The plate only costs $14 and it comes with 2 fat fish collars, not sure what species, forgot to ask, if I had to guess I would say grouper or cobia. These collars are beautiful fried and loaded with meat. Additionally the plate comes with some lettuce, cilantro, lime, pineapple pico, sauce, and 3 flour tortillas. If you don't mind getting your hands a little dirty to separate the meat from bone, you will get three very very filled fish tacos and have meat to spare. Needless to say, the fish collar tacos were delicious and very well priced. All in all, I had a good time; the service was phenomenal, drinks were constantly being refilled, and there's really nothing to complain about. Great experience!

The Spanish rice, tomatillo sauce, and pinto beans were all equally delicious and clearly made with care and attention to flavor. We sat at the bar and really enjoyed chatting with our friendly and enthusiastic bartender, which made the experience even more memorable. Service, atmosphere, and food were all outstanding.
