It…read moremight not look like nothing from the outside but inside...bright artwork on the walls and the smells of good food cooking on the grill. I like how they have the stations for you to order for yourself just in case you don't speak Spanish and the workers might not understand what you want. So with this option to order on the console there is no confusion. You still do have the option to order at the counter, but I believe that might only be cash. With the consoles you only use a card and the workers are really nice. I was greeted when I walked in which is a plus with today's workers sometimes act like you are invisible. So I ordered some nachos, churros, and red queso Birria tacos and when you tell me they were the truth! Some of the best Mexican food you will ever eat outside of actually going to a Mexican vendor on the streets of Mexico. There are plenty of options but let me warn you...don't be asking for sour cream, lettuce, tomato, or pico because you won't find it here. It's again AUTHENTIC and you will only get onion, cilantro, guacamole, Mexican cheese, and Serrano & jalapeño peppers, and I believe tomatoes. Simple, fresh, and delicious! 100/10 will be back and recommend!

I came here on a whim this week to grab lunch. There are around 6 restaurants inside the Spot but…read morethis menu intrigued me the most. I got a chicken and beef bulgogi bowl - 6/10 - sounded interesting enough but the execution was off. It tasted ok but felt old if that makes sense. Was definitely one of the healthier alternatives but it didn't wow me. Service was fast and the food was hot just didn't seem fresh. I'd come back but maybe try tacos instead.

However, I tried something a little different this time and baybeeee this spot doesn't miss. Tacos and Empanadas!!! Everything was fresh and delicious. Maybe I need to try different things when I go.

Both of the dishes were well done. I like the sauce they give you for the chicken. It was a bit of a wait but I think if you set your expectations right- meaning expect 20-30 min wait - be zen and practice patience, you could really enjoy it! Ambiance isn't too much to write home about - not a trendy place by DC standards but it's not bad. It's air conditioned and the bathroom was clean. Parking is right out front and you can probably even see your car eating inside. Someone even came by and asked how our food was and it's not really a sit down restaurant (you order at the front on a giant screen). I'd come back again if in the area!

The employees are patient and professional.I pretty much always order the same thing, mixed fajitas with rice and black beans. The place is clean however the parking lot still sucks but it's better than the old building they had across the street. The food here tastes better than a lot of sit down Mexican restaurants and it's more reasonable. They do have indoor seating if you want to done in. I would recommend calling in your order for faster service, as they do tend to be busy most of the day. I'm not sure if this is a female owned establishment but I only see all women working at this location. They do have an app now - which they didn't before. Remember to order through the app because you can't gain point or rewards using your receipt after a purchase. It seems as if you can only get rewarded for your purchases if you pls e your order through the app.

The elote was solid, with real queso fresco. We also ordered aguachiles with shrimp and it was prepared nicely though when the delivery came the bottom of the bag was soaked with aguachiles water/ citrus. The Jamaica agua fresca was nicely done as well. Overall for legit Mexican in the DC area and for delivery Al Lado was top tier.

Years ago, behind U Street Music Hall (RIP), there used to be a taco spot in a row home called El…read moreChilango. It used to be the spot for me and my friends to grab a quick bite and everything about it was exceptional: who can say no to super affordable yet authentic street tacos served on paper plates. Sadly, it closed. Last night, I think I stumbled across a taco spot to finally take the wheel from our dearly missed El Chilango. Taqueria Al Lado is very no frills and a tiny spot, but it has tacos that make your heart sing. My friend recommended the Al Pastor so I got that with a chicken taco as well. Both were super flavorful, fatty, but really fresh and well balanced. The key here is simplicity and they do it perfectly. Each taco was about $4 or $5 if I remember correctly, so it's a great spot to grab food if you're trying to ball on a budget. We got the guac, too, which was good but not life changing; the fresh chips, however, were spot on. As far as service goes, we went on a Friday and it was super busy, but there were plenty of servers if we needed something (just had to be vocal). I will definitely be coming back!

It's the perfect spot for a casual meet up, business meeting or just for drinks. If you like tacos but South American style, then this is a great option. We went to a show across the street and stopped by here for a late night dinner. Around 10p or so there was plenty of seating yet still very lively! You get a great view of the wharf and people activity. We sat at a booth and placed our order right away using the que cards. You write your order on a slip, then put it in the holder to signal you're ready. We started with the trio (guac + rosa + verde + chips) which was really good. I assumed the menus would vary slightly because I had my mouth set on a duck bowl! No bowl but they did have duck birria which I wasn't in the mood for so I opted for the Ahi Tuna + crispy rice bowl which was perfect! 5/5! The tuna was delicious and seasoned perfectly, the rice had just the right amount of crisp to it and the cucumber mix was refreshing. My date ordered both variations of the chicken tacos (1 Tinga + 1 verde) and a Baja fish taco and loved everything. 5 stars across the board! Glad to know that I can rely on this spot to remain consistent no matter the location

We were seated upon arrival and our server was friendly. The inside is a little on the darker side, there were windows at the front but most of the restaurant is enclosed by walls. The happy hour menu was very affordable. We ordered off both menus. We got the Mexican street corn, yucca fries, HH nachos, and the HH quesadilla chicken tinga. The nachos were my favorite. And the quesadilla. The street corn was a nice lighter dip. I would probably pass on the yucca fries next time.

First time ordering from Bartaco. Decided to go in and place a takeout order of two rice bowls,…read morechips and guacamole. The service was very friendly. The hostess greeted me and asked if I'd ever been to the restaurant before. She directed me to the back counter where I was able to review the menu and place my order. The server at this register was also very nice. I liked the texture of the rice bowls and everything was cooked well. However, the portions for everything were smaller than I expected for the price. Bartaco offers items with mushrooms, falafel, and cauliflower. However I think it would be great if they could offer something with tofu as there is not a protein option for vegans. The chips and guacamole were decent but nothing special. Interesting that the chips come as large pieces instead of as individual chips. I'd maybe stop in again if I was nearby but I'm not sure I'm eager to return.
