The meat was tender though the flavor profile leaned more mild than bold. If you prefer heavier seasoning, you'll definitely want to add some heat. The absolute standout was the homemade red hot sauce. It brought serious flavor and just the right kick -- it completely elevated the meal. Service was friendly and welcoming, though a bit on the slower side which matches the relaxed vibe. It seems they do a big takeout business too.

We used to come here every week, but little by little our habits changes as the quality went down. I do still enjoy coming for the nachos and specialty drinks, like the Harvest Pear Marg and the Happy Hour is nice too. The service varies depending on the time of day and the rush. We tend to go later in the evenings so it's not a slow as it is on other visits. We love the bright and vibrant atmosphere and the music. The murals are great and you find something new every time. I DO love that they have new weekly specials-- $4 Marg Mondays & $4 Taco Tuesdays, so will be coming back to see how those go and will update the review then!

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).

Only complaint is that sometimes it's kind of cold in there so maybe bring a light jacket just incase. Otherwise awesome place that I wish I lived closer to so I could eat there more often!

If you're sitting at a table, you'll need to order at the bar, and they'll bring the food out to you.

It's not my favorite type of Mexican restaurant, as it's a little more upscale than I *personally* prefer, but if upscale Mexican is your vibe, then this'll be the perfect restaurant for you! They had an alright selection of beers, to include a couple of IPAs, but my friends and I didn't really enjoy their cocktails. They were expensive, but lacking in much flavor or zest. Besides looking cool, the taste didn't really match the aesthetic. Furthermore, the food was solid, but not that much better than your basic Mexican restaurant. As for the service, our waiter was nice enough, but he always seemed to be in a hurry, and was walking away while we were still trying to give our order. All-in-all, I'm probably making Matador sound worse than it was, but it was merely a slightly above-average Mexican experience, not a transcendental dining experience that I'll never forget. I'll give it 3/5 stars, and would recommend it based on your personal preference.
