Cool concept with check sheet for ordering and cards to get wait staff attention. Nice decor both for interior and exterior seating.

Tried the following tacos:

Baha Fish: Light crispy outside and moist inside. Get it.

Porkbelly: Holy freaking awesome Batman. You must not leave here without trying this. Love the flavor and texture.

Carne Asada: Ok and worth a look. Typical.

Roasted Duck:...

August 2025

I had lunch at bartaco on Sunday afternoon. It has a very nice casual decor. My server, think, Rekin (sorry if spelled name wrong) was nice but busy with other larger groups. I ordered the salsa roja, chicken taco and shrimp taco. It was ok. The salsa was more brown and spicy which the server said just didn’t realize no tomatoes. It felt like a limited menu so not sure if I’ll be back.

The food was okay, but the portion was relatively small, even for a female. The environment is pleasant and relaxing, and the drinks were also outstanding. It's a good place to hang out with family and friends. The only thing I don't appreciate is that they took my unfinished drinks and cleared the table when I went to the bathroom. Well, I guess they just wanted me to go (although it wasn't a peak hour and many empty tables). What a shame, and I won't come...
