I recently had the pleasure of visiting bartaco for the first time while attending a birthday dinner, and I have to say — it was absolutely amazing from start to finish! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming. The vibes were perfect — upbeat yet relaxed, with a stylish and cozy setting that made it feel like a mini getaway. The service was top-tier across the board. The food runners, waitress, and manager were all incredibly attentive, friendly, and professional. You could really tell that the staff worked as a team and genuinely cared about the guest experience. The computer service (ordering system) was smooth and efficient, making everything feel seamless. A special shoutout to the manager, who went above and beyond — even gifting me a coupon as a first-time guest, which was such a thoughtful touch! It made me feel genuinely welcomed and appreciated, even though I was just a guest at the celebration. And let’s talk about the food — absolutely delicious! Everything we ordered was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. The menu offers a great variety, and every bite exceeded expectations. Honestly, I have zero complaints. The food, service, and atmosphere were all 10/10. I’m already looking forward to my next visit — this definitely won’t be my last trip to bartaco!

We come to Bar Taco what feels like once a week. The food is always excellent and all the staff are incredibly friendly and clearly trained in customer service.
Zack is the manager at Bar Taco Birkdale, I am blown away at his attention to detail and concierge style service he gives to every customer that comes through.
Highly highly recommend!!

Cool place, great atmosphere and solid service. I had the chicken rice bowl it was really good (smaller portion). Lots of outdoor seating which is a plus. All cocktails made with fresh items. Give it a try.

Ordered a to go and because they had a huge to go order it took 35 minutes to get my order which was understandable but my kids tray the corn was raw and the pineapples were hard and inedible. My fish tac was cold. Very disappointed

The food was not the best tasting as far as the tacos are concerned. The tacos were very basic and not very good.The rice was good and buttery . The baked chicken was very good highly recommend. The green sauce is exceptional and taste very fresh. Overall the atmosphere is very nice and welcoming . The prices are also very affordable if you’re looking for a little bite to eat . Um the pork belly bowl was disappointing. It was too sweet and the rice came in sort of like a fried rice cake kinda thing. The Tacos were small and unremarkable. Not much flavor. I wouldn’t eat here again. But the drinks look pretty good.

Went today for the first time as a party of 2. Ordered nearly one of every taco, rice, beans, street corn and the ahi tuna rice bowl.
The only taco I recommend due to being the only one with flavor is the pork belly. It’s great!
I wouldn’t order the sides again. The street corn comes on the cob. Not cute for a date look.
The ahi tuna bowl never came, and I was disappointed in that. Our server never checked back for me to inform her it didn’t come and I eventually decided not to request it to go because at that price, I’d rather just grab something from the supermarket for later. I left hungry. (And we went to the supermarket for a pizza.)
The drinks were good but I was shocked that the cost of two drinks each outweighed the cost of food. We both agreed we prefer Tacos 4 Life over Bartaco and will stick to our homemade margarita pitchers. Glad we tried it bc now we know.

Bartaco is amazing! We tried the nachos with guacamole, tacos (mushroom, cauliflower, shrimp, falafel), and a side of corn—all of them were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The ambience is vibrant and welcoming, and the service was outstanding. Definitely one of my new favorite spots, can’t wait to come back!
I recently visited Bartaco and had such a wonderful experience. From start to finish, everything exceeded expectations. We started off with the nachos and guacamole, which were perfectly fresh and flavorful—such a great way to kick off the meal. For tacos, we tried a mix of mushroom, cauliflower, shrimp, and falafel, and every single one was absolutely delicious in its own way. The corn side dish was also a standout—simple yet packed with flavor.
The food quality and freshness really stood out, and you can tell everything is made with care and attention. The atmosphere of the restaurant added to the experience as well—the ambience is warm, inviting, and perfect for a relaxed meal. On top of that, our server was attentive, friendly, and made us feel so welcome.
Overall, Bartaco is the kind of place you look forward to coming back to again and again. Can’t wait for my next visit!

Great experience tonight. Was greeted by Zach immediately and had great conversation. Decided to sit at the bar for a quick drink (watermelon mint margarita) and stayed for three… and food! The bartender, Michael, was attentive and friendly. His margaritas were the reason I ended up with three! I had the rice and beans (delish) plantains (pretty great) and the trio with guac and both salsas. My favorite is the verde, which never disappoints! And the guacamole is simple and so yummy.
Music was great and at the right volume and then increased a bit as the regular dinner crowd rolled out; never too loud that I wanted to leave! Chill atmosphere, great staff and FANTASTIC margaritas. This is my go-to spot for drinks and apps. (I’m vegan so my choices are limited but delicious nonetheless. And the restaurant is super accommodating!)
bartaco is great with friends, a date or solo. You won’t be disappointed!
