    Great atmosphere indoor or outdoor seating available. The staff were all very pleasant and attentive. They offer a nice array of chips and various "dips" (quad, salsa etc). Their Baja fish taco was so crunchy and tasty I think it was my favorite of the three different ones I tried. They also have a selection of side dishes. I order the street corn (on the cob). It was yummy too. The prices are moderate.

    Red sangria
    Samantha L.

    I stopped in here for a drink with friends, so my review is based solely on the drinks and atmosphere, and not based on their food. Bartaco is in a great location in Inman Park with lots of seating both indoors and on their patio. We were able to be seated immediately without a reservation on a Sunday evening. Their menu has a variety of options, both for food and drink choices. We opted for the red sangria which was light and refreshing. The wait staff were all very kind and checked on us regularly. You can pay using the QR code on your desk which made paying for the check super easy. I'll definitely be back and I'm excited to try their food next time too!

    Tacos here are amazing and the drinks are great too. Lots of seating available, and I think they validate parking too if you park in the parking garage across the street.

    During my recent trip to Atlanta, tried this taco chain restaurant in midtown. Very nice decoration with casual open bar, cozy vibe. The server was very attentive and even gave us coupons to come back and try more of their tacos. Tacos tasted pretty fresh and tasted like Mex-American tacos. Overall, good restaurant to consider if you want to grab some tacos with margaritas.

    Street Corn and salsa verde + chips
    Bob J.

    Very good food! The street corn was very tasty as well as the salsa verde. I love that the chips were served as full tortilla sized and you broke off pieces. I had the chicken salad as my meal and it was good and had a very unique but tasty dressing. It's on the smaller side but it was very refreshing. The patio is so nice when the weather is good and they have an amazing playlist here.

    Trio large tray
    Marni M.

    My friends and I wanted a quick bite over a round of drinks. We were happy to see there were plenty of indoor and outdoor seats available on a Friday but were disappointed when the happy hour was only offered at the bar. We got their Trio large tray, Libelula flight, red sangria, cazuela. We found all of our drinks to be underwhelming and even the presentation was subpar particularly for the sangria which is served in a regular water glass. The trio dish was pretty solid and we were able to get another order of chips to finish it off. The guacamole was creamy, the verde was refreshing, but the roja sauce was our favorite. Overall, we had an okay experience. The ambiance is cute and European inspired but the service was incredibly slow. Drinks were okay but we did enjoy the chips. Unsure if it's worth giving this place another shot in the future.

    I'm at my friends for dinner at this location. Will try later found out was the wrong location but they chose to meet me there after all. First of all parking. You have to pay for parking. The garage that adjacent to the building charges $11 on a Monday night for parking. When asked the workers about the situation - no one knows anything. Including the manager who told me he just started. It's not their job to know but it's kind of a nice Customer Service touch. That was disappointing. Upon sitting at the bar, waiting for friends to arrive. I was greeted by one of the bar tenders. I asked him about the rainy day special. That is when it rains you get a margarita for $8. Nice touch! I told him I was waiting for friends and that if you could wait 10 minutes and then create my drink He memory was very short. He was busy chatting up two ladies that came in shortly after our conversation about something they had in common. 20 minutes later I had to remind him "has it been 10 minutes". that's when he remembered about our deal. Of course my drink was made, and my friends arrived after 1 sip. We sat at a great table. Our server was lovely. However, every time I one friend tried to order a beverage, the server had to come back on three different occasions to say "we are out of it." Lastly , he selected a spindrift beverage that she brought the table. Upon tasting he realized it was " the spiked version". She did not notice that the prior drink selections were nonalcoholic. After all the back and forth... he kept it and did not drink it. I love BarTaco. I am a frequent flyer in Buckhead. At least I used to be. Now I live on this side of town. I'm disappointed that I'll never come back to this location. It was like the right hand doesn't know what the left is doing. However, the special taco was delicious!

    pork belly taco, duck taco, shrimp taco, pineapple pisco punch cocktail
    Lydia N.

    Bar taco is great, I come here occasionally for small bites and drinks! I had the duck, shrimp, and pork taco, all of which I highly recommend, especially the duck. I also had the pineapple punch cocktail, which was a yummy pineapple lemonade flavor. Overall, the food is good, service is excellent, and the interior is clean and has various types of seating. My only critique is that the taco sizes are quite small, I ordered 3 initially and ended up ordering one more. I had churros for dessert, which was good but the chocolate sauce it came with was more of a bitter dark chocolate flavor than sweet milk chocolate. I would come back again if I wanted some small bites!

    Crispy Fish Taco & Crispy Shrimp Taco
    Jina P.

    Honestly the first time I tasted bar taco I wasn't the biggest fan,and I am happy to announce I was wrong. After going to many restaurants in ATL, I have come to appreciate the simplicity of Bar taco. The service is great and efficient. The ambiance I always a vibe and fun. The food is absolutely delicious, I crave it every other week and the drinks are refreshing yet just right. The price is amazing and honestly it's a win in my books everytime. Food comes out fairly quickly and the bar is always fun to sit at. I have been with friends and solo and never had a bad experience.

    Pork Belly Taco,  Sesame Beef Taco
    Irene C.

    One star solely because of the food - interior is beautiful and staff are very friendly though! The guac and chips were so salty, and the baja fish taco was even saltier. Genuinely felt like i was eating salt on salt and none of the toppings helped even out the taste. Fish itself is pretty small and batter is not very crispy. The pork belly taco was mid even though the pork was tender. It just wasn't well seasoned and the coleslaw/radish toppings flavor overpowered the pork. Beef taco was also just okayish. Drinks tasted fine but felt watered down. Overall would not go back.

    Paul P.

    Everything we tried was on point. Fresh and flavorful. I also felt that the portion sizes were apt. Only item that was disappointing was churros which were not done in the inside. Best thing about the management was that they took my feedback constructively and offered to take it off the bill and a couple of free tacos on the next visit. How often does that happen these days!!! Food - 4/5 Service - 4/5 Ambience - 4/5

    Went for a post dinner second bite (lol) and really enjoyed all the tacos I got at this spot. I was out with my friend visiting town so he had wanted to check this spot out and neither of us were disappointed. Pricing wise, I would've liked them to be a bit larger, but flavor-wise I cannot complain. All the tacos range between three and five dollars and we probably tried over half of the ones on the menu and each of them was a winner! We also ordered the ginger mint tea carafe for the table and we really enjoyed drinking that one so if you're in a mood for nothing alcoholic, that's a winner as well. Probably one of the most interesting elements of the dining experience was how we could order everything through their website/epic experience, including payment so I really enjoyed the seamlessness of that experience and how it didn't seem to cause delays were getting food delivered to the table. Definitely a place I would check out again just to eat more of those delicious tacos as a splurge.

    Left to right. Chicken Tinga, Sesame Ribeye, Baja Fish, Roasted Duck.

    Does this location accommodate Apple Pay?

    Yes

    Would this be a good place for a birthday dinner? About 5-7 people (mid 20's)? We wanted something with a nice atmosphere and good drinks. Something slightly sophisticated but still laid back!

    Yes, I went with a bigger group. They were very accommodating and helpful, and gave us a great table. Staff is extremely friendly.

    Is off street parking available?

    Yes! We validate parking for the Inman Quarter garage behind the restaurant. See you soon!

They hold a jazz night every Tuesday with live music for a nice chill, yet fun, vibe. Just a warning, the space inside is pretty small--typically there's optional seating outside, but it's really chilly at the moment (although they have heaters)--but there's more seating downstairs in The Victorian Atlanta plant shop. I didn't realize that the two were connected! FYI, if you sit downstairs, you'll be seated next to where the live music performers will be playing, so it will be louder there. As for the drinks, I tried the Zombie. I loved it so much, I ordered a second one instead of trying a different one! It tasted sweet and slightly tropical with the rum and spiced liqueur. It also had some absinthe, which I was worried about when I first ordered it since I hate the taste of it (not a big fan of black licorice flavors), but I didn't taste it at all!

The bartender named Jack was sweet and entertaining considering it was a slow night. He flirted a lot with my friend and it was a silly moment. We went back to enjoy a night out again before heading home the next day and Jack was there again. Because my friend had had such a good time chatting with him before she flirted back a little bit and was just enjoying the night. We ordered food and drinks and things were going well. Throughout the night Jack and my friend would sneak off and talk and make out while he was on the clock. None of this mattered to me because who cares, it's a bar, we're young and just having a bit of fun. However after we left the bar he texted my friend that it was "messed up" we only tipped 15% on our $193 bill claiming he "took care of so much" for us. I'm not even sure what that means because again - our bill for that night was almost $200. The food was amazing - I need the salsa recipe STAT - but overall the bartender ended up being kind of a jerk that seemed like he was just doing all this to get laid. Earlier this week (mind you it's July) I went back to give this place a second chance and the bartender mentioned before - JACK - was asked by one of my friends if we could get green tea shots and he felt it appropriate to confront me about this review. I apologized if my math was wrong because he claimed i only tipped 13% & not 15% was constantly saying "20% is standard" (not true but whatever) and then when i said he claimed to take care of so much HE claimed the bill should've been $250 and then said "but i understand your white entitlement lets you think you can do whatever" (idk i blacked out with rage after "white entitlement") MIND YOU you i'm half chinese not that it matters, jack - cause i know you're reading this - & i of course got heated because HES ALSO WHITE so clearly HIS white entitlement lets him think he can be hateful to patrons for reviews regardless of wether or not they try to take ownership of their faults. Needless to say the staff here is awful and I will NEVER come back to this bar so enjoy that win, Jack.

He specifically wanted to take advantage of their Monday prime rib special, which is just $20. I'm not much of a prime rib person, but I decided to tag along--and I'm really glad I did. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. It wasn't overly loud or crowded, and the décor created a relaxed, comfortable vibe that made for a great dining experience. Now, let's talk about the food. My friend ordered the prime rib and requested it Pittsburgh-style seared. I ordered the steak burger cooked medium-well. Unfortunately, my burger came out a little more well-done than I prefer, so it wasn't as juicy as I had hoped. My friend also felt his prime rib was a bit more undercooked than expected. Neither dish was bad, but they both missed the mark just enough that I'd give the food a 3 out of 5. One thing that absolutely deserves a shoutout was the tomato jelly that came with my burger. It was incredible! It tasted like the perfect blend of ketchup and jelly--slightly sweet but not overly sweet, with just the right balance of flavor. I ended up dipping my fries in it, and it was so good that I'd gladly order it again. It was easily one of the most memorable parts of the meal. What truly elevated the experience was the service. Our server, Sam, was outstanding. He was personable, attentive, friendly, and genuinely enjoyable to interact with. Great service can completely change a dining experience, and Sam did exactly that. Overall, while the food had room for improvement, the atmosphere and exceptional customer service more than made up for it.
