We started with a spicy margarita, you could really taste the fresh lime. 🍋 My husband was sweating from the spice, but I loved it!
The pork belly and Korean beef tacos were absolute standouts. 🐷🥩 The verde salsa was fantastic, though it’s served with “break-your-own” chips. The unexpected highlight? The cucumber side. Unbelievably flavorful and refreshing! 🥒✨
We’d recommend skipping the street corn on the cob 🌽 it was missing flavor and that grilled flair we were hoping for.
Back to the tacos: the pork belly was amazing, and the table rojo sauce added the perfect finishing touch. 🔥🌮

Our server was very nice and attentive. The food here is also SO GOOD. I am gluten free and vegetarian and was informed mostly all of their menu is GF. They have excellent (and spicy) falafel that I could eat every day. Drinks were good too and the vibe of the place is awesome! Highly recommend and I will be returning every time we come to Boston
Beautiful restaurant, amazing food, and even better workers! The manager, Sam, is kind and welcoming. The waitstaff were very attentive and so friendly. I will be coming back!

Called 30 min before to be put on the waitlist for a big group, as they say to do; when we showed up, we were told it would be another HOUR to hour and a half wait. They said they would text us when it was almost ready, so we went next door for a drink since the bar at bartaco was so crowded. When we got the text that the table was ready, they gave us a 5 min warning, so we dashed back and got there at the 5 minute mark only to find out they gave the table away to another group. Eventually, they ended up finding us a smaller table (more like a booth) we ended up squeezing our big group of 9 into. Unfortunately after that long wait, the tacos were pretty disappointing, and all the ordering was family style which is fine but zero plates were provided so everyone awkwardly grabbed a taco and ate over a napkin. Won’t go back.

Very seaport vibes, great ahi tuna stuff. Would highly recommend if you're in the area, probably one of the more nice, rustic places to eat out at. Great for casual work meetings and first dates. I think this place is probably better for eating the fish stuff.

Always a vibe! Such a cozy place and always great food and drink. My favorite is the green margarita. The guacamole, salsa verde, and ribeye tacos are awesome.

Great variety of tacos, love that you can just order singles. Fresh and descent flavor. My BF liked having the option of corn off the cob. Sat at the bar with excellent service no pressure to order drinks. Four stars as food menu is not diverse enough for me to come back often. It was crowded for Saturday lunch with surprising number of strollers. Felt a bit crowded generally but still a great place if you want to grab a quick bite or relax. Can’t speak to digital ordering since we simply checked selections off the paper.

What a wonderful experience! Great food & drinks, gorgeous atmosphere, and awesome service. We were a group of 6, which included two 7 year-olds, and were shown to our table in less than 10 minutes on a busy Sunday afternoon. Our waitress, Margarita, was very friendly to our kids and asked them directly if they wanted crayons and coloring pages, which is not always guaranteed. Margarita provided recommendations to try, took our order and we soon had our first set of plates. We even got the taco of the month to try on the house!! We had a varied taco selection including falafel, pork, shrimp, Baja, chorizo, oyster, and pineapple. They were all scrumptious but the pork, falafel and pineapple were the highlights coupled with the sauces available on the table with varying levels of spiciness. For sides we had the corn, kale salad, and the spicy cucumbers. Be aware all have a bit of spice on them. The little ones had the kid plate, which included corn slices, which are corn on the cob sliced and served with bits of cheese. The taco served with the kids plate does not have any sauce. We will definitely be going back!
Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly! There's a kid menu with multiple options to choose from.
We had a bit of a wait—about an hour for our table—but once we were seated, we were lucky to have Connor, the manager, as our server. Unfortunately, our order got delayed, and we noticed the table next to us received three courses before we even got our tacos. We mentioned it to Connor, and he was incredibly apologetic, immediately making it right. He brought us complimentary chips and guac, covered the cost of our tacos, and even gave us free tacos for our next visit.
Despite the initial hiccup, the way Connor handled the situation truly impressed us. The service recovery was exceptional, and it showed how much they care about their guests’ experience. The food was delicious, as always, and we’ll definitely be back!
So much flavor! 🌶️🌮🍹
