This is mostly to thank the manager today for being so kind for helping me with my birthday cake. Since I’m writing this though, I need to mention how amazing the food is too. If you visit bartaco, get the plantains, the pork posole, and the biria

This place is first class. I have throat cancer and eating has been a challenge. They did everything possible to help me find something to eat and accommodate me in every way. The manager was the nicest man you will ever meet. Our waitress Piper was very attentive and sympathetic of my situation. She was an awesome young lady as well as being a great waitress. Thank you BARTACO for making a difficult situation better.
