This is the best restaurant in Boston. The service is impeccable and the food is always 10/10. The manager (who’s name is Sam I believe) is extremely kind and helpful. Best service of anywhere. My go to spot & should be yours too.

Stopped in on a Friday night and scored a table without a wait. I got a grapefruit and ginger agua fresca - fresh and delicious. The esquites are flavorful and taste good but I wish they had some spice. The tacos were all delicious, I highly recommend the sesame ribeye and pork belly!

I don’t often leave reviews, but I needed to take a moment and shoutout Bartaco’s fantastic manager, Sam! He was super friendly, helpful, funny, and took our experience at the restaurant from good to great! Thanks Sam!
