Probably the best and freshest food in the state, especially for the price. We ordered like 15 different things on the menu and every single one was delicious. All the appetizers were fantastic and the tres leches was the best dessert I’ve had in a long time. Also our server was great. Highly recommend!!!

West Hartford was fun! Went on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. West Hartford Downtown is full of restaurants , bars, and shops on the medium to higher end. Bartaco was our lunch spot. Drinks were delish. Apps n Tacos were great and top quality! We ate and walked around spending a wonderful day in West Hartford!
