Food is nothing to write home to mom about, have had plenty of tacos that were more memorable. Ordering sucks if uve never completed the faceless ordering process before. I'm old school so I think I prefer an actual person taking my order and checking on the table, but I suppose it's the sign of the times. Perhaps the host could ask if it is a customer's 1st time and there be more care taken with 1st timers, lol. Ambiance is everything though. After dusk with the open plan and candles is a great place to meet for drinks on a date. Churros were delicious if u have a sweet tooth. read more

Hard to go wrong with Bartaco! This chain always has great bites and atmosphere. The Inman park location is great for date night, pregaming, celebrating or a group dinner. Started with chips and quac as well as salsa verde which taste very fresh. Enjoyed the duck bowl($8) which comes with pulled roasted duck, grilled onions and peppers, and rice. Others enjoyed chicken tacos, fish tacos, and duck tacos. Skip the cauliflower tacos. Price ranges $3-4. Churros are delicious and come with chocolate dipping sauce. You can also choose your wine for the sangria to make it your own! Skinny margaritas are delicious here but they take a very long time for service. Drink service in general was just incredibly slow hence the four stars. Food comes out pretty quickly after it's ordered. They don't take reservations and the place fills up quickly so definitely try and get there 20-30 minutes before you're ready to eat. There is some bar space but it fills up quickly. They also validate parking if you bring in your receipt! read more

bartaco - Mexican Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

December 2020 I have one big issue with this restaurant, and it's portion size.... So my good friend invited me here for lunch one day and I was pleasantly surprised by the quick seating and fast service. Touchless ordering is REQUIRED, as this is a CASHLESS restaurant. It felt very modern and super clean. We ordered the guacamole and chips, charred corn, a variety of tacos, and churros for dessert. The picture that I have attached shows that the guacamole scoop was comparable to the size of my car key, but for full price. The tacos were definitely on the smallest end of street tacos. They are also not double layered and about the size of a palm. I received one full ear of corn. Everything was cooked well, seasoned well, and came out relatively quickly. Besides the churros though, everything was mini sized and I definitely had to eat somewhere else right afterwards. Service: 5/5 Prices: 3/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Value: 3/5 Bottom line: Great urban spot for small bites and great drinks. Do not come hungry! read more

Unique Tacos Flavors Want to try some unique taco combos? Bartaco has so many choices for tapas sized tacos. We ordered the redfish, cauliflower, falafel, roasted duck and Baja fish. Add a side of corn for another tasty bite. The in-house menu does not list the flavor combinations, so either look at the menu on yelp or ask your server for help. The duck taco is seasoned with a delicious tamarind sauce. The falafel has a tzatziki sauce. The Baja Fish has a chipotle slaw. The restaurant is such a cute blend of SoCal and Brazilian beach themed designs. Fun to sit outside near the fireplace with family on a cool October evening with family...and they validate your garage parking. Thanks Myguel for the great service and the taco tokens that we will definitely use on a return visit. read more

I love these tacos. Whether is delivery, takeout or dining in. The best tacos to me are the mojo pork carnitas, pork belly, sesame ribeye, and of course the duck tacos! They also have pretty good street corn. I had this last night and I'm craving those tacos all over again this morning . read more

So. The food. Delicious. The service. Pretty darn good. The QR ordering system...sucks. It has worked 20% of the time....maybe I don't know if it's a savings in personel or if it's just that the owner invested in the QR system and it's not going away. But super frustrating. Orders always come mixed up or wrong. Or dbl orders. Today I finished my meal before my daughter got hers. It's all mixed up. Again. Service and staffs attempt to make it right is awesome. But it feels like they're always chasing a failed system. Good news is they end up comping the missed or messed up orders. So There's that. I do wish the QR code would go away. let's have some more human interaction. read more

Fresh yummy food, good service, nice ambience. Even though their food is not authentically Mexican, it's always freshly prepared and the dishes are well thought out, sometimes fusion between Asian and Mexican dishes. Their tacos are small and bite sized, but pack flavor in them! The way you order is via an online app, so be sure you have your phone with you. Parking is kind of annoying because it's in Inman Park, but there's a public parking garage that's about $6 that's nearby. read more

One of my favorite places to go due to the cheap price of the tacos and the strong margaritas. The ambiance is also a plus! I got guac as an appetizer and it was delicious! It was well seasoned and the chips they give you were warm. I will say this last time my tacos came out room temperature which was a little disappointing. I also placed my order the same time as my friend and my food came out 10min later. Also their churros are not the best. They taste like dough. read more

bartaco - Chicken Taco and Crispy Fish Taco - Mexican Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I love bartaco. Almost everything is gluten free and there are many vegetarian options. The food is delicious. I like the duck and the cauliflower. The flavors are delicate and divine. They do not take cash. You order from their site. It's not a perfect system and it's very hard for some of our older friends who like menus. They are perpetually understaffed. It's really tough. I do not recommend it if you are on a schedule. Their takeaway is great, but do not be in a hurry to pick up. This was one of my first pandemic era takeaway cocktails (they have a nice Paloma), so that was novel. So come in, take your time, enjoy the food, and tell your old friends to get over it. read more

A laid back and chill place with awesome tacos! A friend and I came by one week day afternoon to enjoy some tacos. Everything we tried on the menu was tasty. The server was friendly and explained to us how the ordering process works there. The salsa verde was flavorful and came with large round chips for dipping. The tamales are the best I've had. All the tacos we tried was good. We enjoyed the atmosphere. Free validated parking in the garage behind the restaurant. It was chilly when we visited, but the outside space is definitely worth another visit back. read more

Came here during Covid so a few things were modified to comply with CDC rules. You had the option to eat inside or outside. We choose to sit inside at a booth. The tables truthfully didn't seem very clean, there was food on the floor so we clean off the table with wipes we brought. Ordering food and drinks were the biggest hassle. They do not let you order with a waiter and you are forced to order through an app which is very difficult. We had four people and one person was paying so we had to all use his phone. Took forever. After we received our tacos and a few drinks we wanted more drinks and tacos since the portion size is very small. But they asked us to reorder on the app so we decided nevermind. The food was okay, but coming from California's amazing Mexican food is was only subpar. Although I will say if you come here try sesame ribeye, it was the best out of all the ones I tried. I took away two stars because of the price which felt expensive for the quality and the difficulty of ordering on the app. I did not feel I got my money's worth. If you aren't tech-savvy don't even bother. I would not recommend eating here during Covid but maybe once it is over I will give it another try. Overall 7 out of 10. read more

bartaco - Key Lime Pie in a Jar - Mexican Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Bartaco welcomes you with style and pizzazz from the moment you walk in the door. It's the perfect space to grab a bunch of girlfriends and spend the evening catching up over the newest episode of Emily in Paris - we didn't even mind the 20 minute wait. Once we were seated at our table, I couldn't wait to try the Crispy Oyster taco, and it truly was as good as it sounded that I ordered two more. It's simple because you can just pay and checkout right at your table using their tablet, and we spent longer than we expected because we kept ordering more tacos. Whether you're at the location in Nashville TN or Tampa FL, there's a reason people keep coming back for more. read more

There are some things about bartaco that I really like, and some that I really don't. Overall, the things I like about it overrule the things I don't, but I also don't think I'll be coming often. Pros: -Plenty of outdoor space, well spaced and well heated. I find that a lot of places with outdoor seating pack them FULL which almost makes the added safety factor of being outside pointless. The outdoor area is really nice and well heated with a fireplace and torches to make it an actually pleasant place to sit rather than an afterthought. -The actual food is generally pretty good. The vegetarian options are kind of meh, but I really liked their chips and salsa (the salsa roja almost tastes like it has tamarind in it which I found unique) and most of their tacos are worth trying. The fish taco was definitely my favorite, though. Crispy, tender, pretty much perfect. Cons: -The music is so freaking loud that you can't really have much of a conversation without yelling. Got a large-ish group? Forget trying to talk to anyone at the other end of the table. -bartaco is immensely popular, which is not the problem. The problem is that when you're an immensely popular restaurant, you need a way to put people's names down and keep a waitlist that actually works, and bartaco does not have that. Their system texts you saying your table is ready when it isn't, doesn't take into account preferences of indoor vs outdoor seating, and kicks you off the waitlist for no reason. It makes getting a table such a hassle that it puts a damper on the whole experience. read more

I've been to Bar Taco quite a few times but this time I brought my date who had never been before. We decided to go on St Patty's Day so it was a bit wet and rainy but that didn't stop people from being out. Bar Taco wasn't packed but it definitely wasn't empty either. Because of this, we decided to sit at the bar. I'm always intrigued with the ambiance at Bar Taco. To me it gives you a sunny boat like vibe every time (maybe it's me). The bartenders at the bar were extremely nice and easy to talk to also. To start we both ordered drinks. I had the bartaco margarita ($12.50) which taste like your normal margarita and my date had the an Old Thymer ($12.50) without the orange juice. The bartender made a remix to accommodate her being allergic to oranges. He replaced it with pineapple juice which was extremely considerate of him. Both drinks were good. Mine pretty was your typical margarita that you can find at any happy hour but to see them use fresh fruit did something to my spirit lol. The remix of the old thymer might be better than the original. The pineapple juice brought a sweeter taste which blended well with the alcohol. For the entree I ordered 2 Chile Lime Shrimp Tacos ($3.50 each), a Spiced Chicken Verde Taco ($2.50 each) and a Chile Lime Shrimp Rice Bowl ($9.50). My date also had the same tacos but 2 of each with street corn in a bowl ($4.75). I also decided to grab some chips and guacamole ($6.00) as a quick appetizer. I've always been a fan of the guacamole from Bar Taco. It's been my favorite however, even tho it was extremely fresh, it lacked that flavor I'm accustomed to tasting. Maybe there wasn't much seasoning. Either way, I still devoured it. Lol. On a brighter note my tacos were amazing. First of all, let me just say that this taco is absolutely delicious. The chicken is perfectly cooked and has a nice spicy kick from the chile and herb marinade. The flavors are well balanced and not too overpowering, which is great because you can really taste all of the different ingredients. The aguacate salsa is the perfect accompaniment to the chicken. It has a nice creamy texture and a bright, fresh flavor that pairs perfectly with the spiciness of the chicken. The avocado adds a nice richness to the salsa and helps to cool down the heat from the chile. The Chile Lime Shrimp Taco is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for seafood lovers. The shrimp are cooked to perfection and have a nice balance of heat and tanginess from the chile and lime marinade. The flavors are well balanced and not too overpowering, allowing you to taste all of the different ingredients. The tortilla is soft and pliable, which makes it easy to wrap around the shrimp and other toppings. The toppings on this taco are also worth mentioning - they add a nice crunch and flavor to the dish. Overall, if you're looking for a tasty and refreshing seafood taco, the Chile lime shrimp taco is definitely worth trying. It's a perfect choice for a summer lunch or dinner, or anytime you're in the mood for a delicious and flavorful taco. While street corn on the cob is a classic and delicious summer treat, having it in a bowl is a game changer. The corn is cut off the cob and mixed with a variety of flavorful ingredients, such as cilantro, lime, chili powder, and cotija cheese. The result is a tasty and satisfying dish that is easy to eat and perfect for sharing. The bowl allows for all of the ingredients to mix together, creating a perfect balance of flavors in every bite. Overall, if you're a fan of street corn, you won't be disappointed with trying it in a bowl - it's a delicious and convenient way to enjoy this classic dish. Last but not least, if you're looking for a delicious, warm snack to satisfy your sweet tooth, then the churros with chocolate and icing-based dips ( $7.00) are definitely worth trying. These deep-fried pastries are amazing and I'm embarrassed to say that this was my first time having them. They are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a slightly sweet and doughy flavor. The addition of warm chocolate dip and icing-based dip elevates the flavor even further, creating a decadent and indulgent treat that's perfect for any occasion. The chocolate dip is rich and velvety, with a deep cocoa flavor that complements the sweetness of the churros perfectly. The icing-based dip, on the other hand, adds a different dimension to the flavor, with a creamy and sweet taste that is sure to satisfy even the most discerning sweet tooth. Overall, if you're looking for a delicious and indulgent snack, churros with chocolate and icing-based dips are definitely worth trying. With their crispy texture and sweet, doughy flavor, they're sure to satisfy even the most demanding sweet tooth. This won't be the last time I'm at bar taco and if you've never been I recommend them to any and everybody. read more

What a treat this was! I was connecting with a family member, and when he suggested Bar Taco, I was delighted! This place has a nice high energy, but one that isn't overwhelming! The ordering process is simple, but it's kinda easy to over order! However, everything I/we ordered was absolutely delicious. Even the fried plantain, which came with a mayo-something on the side, was not bad at all, and I really dislike mayo. I'd be back there any day to grab virtually anything on the meal! read more

I dunno why I thought this place was a fast casual. Partly bc one of the categories listed was ice cream & frozen yogurt. Man, was I wrong: it's a rather nice bar and restaurant. This place was PACKED around 9 PM ish on a Saturday night, especially after the lantern parade that just occurred on the BeltLine. The hubs and I were lucky since there was a table readily available when we walked in willy nilly. If it's a nice night out, I would recommend being outside with the nice breeze and people watch. But those seats go faster though. Place your order on the tally sheet (like at a sushi restaurant). And when you're ready or need the waiter/waitress, place the calling card upright on the cardholder. You'll figure it out. The tacos here are pretty cheap, but they are an extra small size. Psst: ask about the secret taco! :) The falafel taco was different. It came in a Greek tzatziki sauce that's all too familiar. For $2.50, it's not a wallet killer and worth a sample. Two bites and you're done. Really. It's the street size tacos. The secret taco comes in a hard shell btw and is probably more than the menu cost (our receipt didn't have a breakdown so I can't confirm). Get it. Get it. It twas special and good. The pork tamale was pretty good (the pork was good), but I dunno if one rather small guy for $5 will do it for me. It's definitely more of a filler than the xs tacos. The sesame ribeye rice bowl is probably your best value for the price and quantity: $8.75. The hubs dug the bowl. As for me, there was a slight sweetness to it that didn't make my taste buds go wow. I think it's the steamed brown rice that threw me off. I'm all for the more unhealthy white rice or salad. Bartaco Inman Park had a pretty hopping bar and restaurant. Both sides seemed to be at full capacity so it's definitely a good outing scene. Keep in mind that everything on the menu is more of a snacking/sampler size so order more liberally. read more

One of my fave places! I love the menu is by app and pay. It keeps down the servers having to run back and forth between tables, unnecessarily. I love the fish tacos and of course the margaritas are SO good! Guacamole is tasty at all locations but spicier at Marietta St. I prefer the (1) Highland or (2) Buckhead location over Marietta St. For some reason, Marietta St food taste a little bland compared to the other two. Highland also has great spacing outdoors on the patio for those with covid concerns. If you park at Highland, there's a huge parking deck behind it with access to other establishments as well. read more

Such a cool spot! Located in Inman park and is a must try. We got the chips and salsa. Salsa was great! Lime-y and Spicy! Which being from Texas is my fav. I also had three spicy margaritas (they were that good) and if you like spicy drinks you must try! I got two tacos but forgot to take a pic! The falafel taco was great. Then got a chicken taco which was also on par. The resturaunt is cashless and everything is operated via app so makes it easy. The staff was SO nice and the manager even checked on us a few times to make sure all was well. Try this place out! read more

I wanted tacos but wanted the option of having lettuce as the shell and I saw that they do that here and they did not disappoint. The restaurant was not full (see pics) but there was still a 30-45 min wait. I'm not sure why except may be not enough staff to man all the tables. The bar was full but I finally got a space. The bartenders were pleasant and initially attentive. It got even more crowed at the bar and it took some time to get my bartender's attention because I ordered but tacos and a couple of my sides didn't come out. See pics for what I ordered, everything was really good, I cleaned my plate! The crowd I assume was typical for this area on a Saturday evening but the lack of attention was not ok. Just a check to make sure a current patron has everything they need before moving on to a new one is something I need as standard in an establishment. I will be back because I like the food and atmosphere at BarTaco but I will come out earlier in the day. read more

I'd definitely recommend Bartaco. My friend brought me here after persistently trying to convince me to try it out. Although I wasn't hungry enough for a full meal, this hit the spot especially after two amazing tacos. The prices were great- $2.50-3 for ea. It had great vibes for a date night or small party of friends- dimly lit and chill. I loved my tacos- i tried the spicy chorizo and the duck. The meats were cooked so well with great seasoning and flavor. I enjoyed the way you ordered- you tally off how many of each menu item you want, and the waitstaff collects it for you once you've jotted it down. Usually one paper = one check but they put it all on the same bill so Id advise to remind them before paying how you want to do it. Will definitely come again to try out more of the tacos AND desserts!! read more

Knocking my review down to 3ish stars after my second visit. I'm always sad to have to update a review with a lower rating especially when I felt it would be a regular restaurant, alas this change is mostly based on....execution of orders/staff things...? I arrived on a Tuesday night around 945. Most tables were empty and we were told there was a 45 min wait for a table (I'm aware that there's a staffing shortage just about everywhere, so that wasn't too surprising). After walking around the block to see if anything else caught our eye, we decided that we wanted their tacos and we'd get take out and walk the 5 mins home to enjoy. We ordered around 10 pm at the back counter with the same person that had initially put our names on the waitlist and were told it would be 20-25 mins for our order. I want to mention here that we ordered the multiple of the same item with different customizations for half of them and she triple checked with us to made sure she had the right order. We ordered: - 4 pork belly (2 no toppings, 2 regular) - 2 ribeye (no toppings) - 1 duck - 1 tuna After about 20 mins, we returned to the back counter see if our order was ready. It wasn't and everyone in that area was pretty busy so we patiently waited. While we waited in the back of the patio, I watched, for too long, a male staff member that was waiting by the food warmer that touched every single dish going out and took togo boxes out of their bags and opened them to check inside. This all seems normal, so why did this bother me? In terms of Covid times, his mask was lowered to his chin exposing both his nose and mouth the entire time and in terms of general food handling, he also kept touching and wiping his nose and face with his bare hands between touching trays of food. It wasn't until about 55 mins later that our food was finally done and brought out to us and yes I was watching the touchy man was there touching food plates the whole time. When we finally got home and opened our food, I was sadly disappointed again. The food we ordered the hostess triple checked with us still came out wrong and we got all naked tacos again!!! I can see how it could get made improperly because of the kitchen ticket that gets sent back. I'm sure the kitchen is insanely busy and there's a lot going on, so the ticket isn't read as thoroughly, but that's something that needs to be fixed with the POS system. (see photo; again, understandable but frustrating). The first time this happened when we were dining in, I figured it was just an easy mistake and the way we got around it, was to send in our food orders separately but that made our food come out a different times. Now I know this is just something that needs to be fixed on a technical level. On another note, if the touchy man was touching everything, what was the reason for opening the togo boxes if not ensuring the correct orders were being made??? Overall, the food is still good enough to return and eat when it's made correctly, but dine-in only so we can make sure we get to enjoy the food the way we wanted it, though I really do hate bringing up issues and additionally having to wait for them to be fixed while the food gets cold which is why I didn't say anything the first time either. And I will attempt to ignore the existence of the touchy man. read more

On a Saturday afternoon, our group of three stopped by. We waited for a hostess for about five to seven minutes, but even though multiple employees passed by, we were not approached. We decided to dine at the bar. Once more we are were not approached despite the bald bartender noticing us. Once we made eye contact, with him again. we said hello and requested a menu. The bartender gave us the most unwelcoming stare and seem to unwilling hand us a menu. His behavior was unnecessary and unwarranted. The staff was quite unfriendly.

Bartaco never disappoints!! This location seems to season everything better than the others I've been to. I dig it. Tried the chopped salad for the first time. Yumm!! My taste buds approve!! Comes with a cilantro lime dressing that is delish. Very fresh and crispy, ever so tasty on the pallet. Crispy Rock Shrimp taco is one of my favs. Comes with this chipotle slaw that had a nice little kick to it. Breaded shrimp that a good taste to it. Roasted Duck taco was freaking awesome! My favorite!! I've had it other Bartacos but they just seem like they prepare their food even. After than other locations. I dig it! Grilled corn on the cobb is always amazing. Has cotija, lime and cayenne on it. So so good. Couldn't eat it on a date night because it gets all in your teeth. Then again, might be worth it. Lol Great atmosphere. This was my first time to this location. Super cute place for a date night! As busy as it was, service was still good and pretty quick. read more
