WE LOVE. LOVE bartaco!! Awesome atmosphere, service is always spot on and OMG the food is UNBELIEVABLE!!! WE highly recommend bartaco, but be prepared to wait a bit to get in & seated. They are ALWAYS PACKED, but it is SO SO worth the wait!!! ENJOY
Bar taco had a 1.5hr wait Saturday night. We decided to get a drink at a bar across the street and once our table was called we soon found out it was well worth the wait! They recommend 3-5 tacos per person so we split 6. Out of all of the tacos the pork belly was the best. The street corn, guacamole, and margaritas are also amazing! I will definitely be back again.
Overall, I'm confused by this place. The only thing that's actually part of a traditional taco is the corn tortilla. They say they have Brazilian and California influences, but I'd say it's more like a white NYC chef trying to make a taco for the teen children of his wealthy suburban clients. Very non traditional and honestly don't think it can really be called a taco. However, all that being said, the food is actually delicious. That chef may be missing the essence of a taco, but he knows how to make good food. Place is clean, great decor, and friendly staff. Wait time can be long due to popularity. Favorite item on the menu is their pork belly "tacos".
This restaurant has a casual atmosphere and excellent food. Don't be fooled by the taco lunch special. I have heard people say it looks so small yet I have seen them take part of their lunch home because it was satisfying-in other words, they were full. Great food. Satisfying portion. Great price.
This place is great. In fact it's so great, it's often very busy. Tables move very quickly however. We were able to grab a couple of seats at the bar while waiting for our table. We ordered a drink and an order of their guacamole, which despite having no tomatoes, is excellent. We were called for our table in no time flat and our waitress introduced herself right away, along with the manager, who offered his assistance if we needed anything. Excellent service here, by the way. We ordered an array of different tacos and enjoyed each one. The fish taco is fantastic, by the way. We concluded with a coconut gelato (ice cream) cone. So yummy! It had loads of coconut bits in it, too. We walked out extremely satisfied and will definitely be back.
