I really enjoyed bartaco! I would definitely recommend and return. I thought the aesthetics were super welcoming. I also liked the concept that they had. You basically pre-order all of your food via a QR Code, pay and then everything comes out as it's ready. Appreciated the fact that we got everything over with quickly and just worried about enjoying our meal and company. Solid location as well. Different establishments around. The food was very delicious. They are small bite tacos and ordering a few is recommended, unless you are just in the mood for a snack. read more

Perfect vibes and service! We did patio seating. It was beautiful outside. You scan a QR code to order online and to pay, so it's super limited waiter interactions. The patio is so cute -- always reminds me of being outside the back of a beach house or greenhouse. Service was super quick, and all the items were delicious, cooked perfectly, and a good deal for the price. We shared a salsa trio, and I got a few of my favorite tacos: baja fish, falafel, and pork belly. Loved everything! I've been to this location and the Inman Park one, and honestly love both! No complaints, and would recommend it for a casual brunch/lunch. In the past, it used to get really really busy, but we went on a Friday afternoon and it was very fair and easy to socially distance. read more

Me and my brother come to Bartaco all the time when we spend time and tonight Gustavo was so sweet to us! He checked on us all night and made accommodations for us when we had a small wait on some things on our ticket. We felt super taken care of, and we had the best time. Thank you Gustavo for everything!! read more

This a cool chill spot to get tacos. Went there on a Friday night and we had to wait about 20 minutes to get seated. The shrimp and chicken tacos are great always go there for that. This time I tried the duck, lamp and pork belly. The lamb was not great but the duck and pork belly were good. The guacamole was very good but it was a small portion. Definitely recommend this place. read more

This place is always a hit. Great ambiance, amazing detail to flavor in taco ms and drinks. This night I went with 3 pork belly glazed taco, ceviche and a flight of shots. It didn't miss . I was placed onto bar taco back in Tampa, where I lived for 2 and a half years. Best thing because now that I'm back in ATL, it's one of my go-to spots and I go often here too. You won't regret going. Great drinks, great dim light vibes, great drink selections and the service is always impeccable. Everyone kept checking on us and making us feel valued and welcome. Thanks guys! read more

bartaco - Ceviche & tacos - Mexican Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Love the concept here. You order everything from a QR code on your table which takes you to a website to pick your food/drinks and pay. No waiting for a server to take your order or bring your check. The guacamole was a bit spicy and it was really good. I also enjoyed the fish taco. It was smaller than expected but for the price it was a good fit. Very crowded but we got sat at a table immediately. Open air concept which was perfect on the pretty day we were out. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants! I love the fish tacos and chopped salad! This was a first sitting and dining at the bar. They were obviously either slammed or short staffed. I didn't mind but all my food came out before my drink. The atmosphere almost feels like your at the beach. read more

One of my favorite places to eat in atlanta! The guacamole and fish tacos were my favorite. The slaw that comes on the fish tacos is so creamy and delicious and the fish was perfectly fried. I was also in the mood for black beans, but you could definitely go without ordering them, pretty mediocre. read more

I really hate to give bar taco any less than 5 stars but the experience at this location is such a let down. When I arrived around 5pm the place wasn't that busy and we were sat right away. I let the waitress know that I typically have issues with the mobile ordering and she was a bit hesitant but, when I showed her I wasn't able to receive the verification code she brought paper menus for my friend and I. I ended up ordering a bit of everything...1 spiced chicken taco, 2 sesame ribeye tacos, 1 roasted duck taco, 2 chili lime tacos, 2 falafel tacos, and plantains. Unfortunately, the only ones I was really a fan of were the duck and ribeye tacos and the plantains. The shrimp was too spicy to really get much of a flavor and the chicken taco was pretty dry. I really didn't know what to expect from the falafel taco but even with the sauce it still lacked flavor. Overall, the food was a 50/50. The main reason I couldn't give this place a higher score was because of wait times and parking. My friend and I ordered a second round of drinks and although the restaurant had got busier it took about 30 minutes before we could flag down a waiter and let him know we still hadn't gotten our drinks. Also, even though this is Atlanta I had hoped the parking situation would be better. With only a handful of street parking spots available most people have to park in a parking garage and the restaurant doesn't validate. Overall , for the food, service, and parking I would recommend going to their Roswell Rd location instead. read more

Great vibes to stroll through the area. Between 2 people, tried the following tacos: pork belly, ribeye, chicken, fish, and shrimp. Best 2: pork and chicken. Also had a pomegranate mojito (amazing) and caipirinha sanguina (strong). Churros overcooked and hollow. Tacos were small so needed to pack a bigger punch. Only gonna return for the drinks and vibes. read more

Mario was our server and he was PHENOMENAL! We had drinks at the bar with Heydi and she made the perfect margaritas. After, we got sat at a table and the vibes were high. Mario never made us feel like we were being neglected and was so attentive the whole dinner. The duck birria tacos and 1/2 roasted chicken were so well executed. Will be returning ASAP!! Also, the manager David was so kind. Kept checking in and was super authentic. Great experience read more

The food was fantastic, appetizing, appealing to the eye and stomach. I bought my whole family of 15 kids and grandkids they all was enjoying their food. read more

I LOVE bartaco! Everything about it...love love love! For starters, their ordering system is very unique. Order on the app, and the food is brought to the table. It's wonderful. The staff is super nice and helpful. They seem happy to be at work which of course makes the dining experience so much better. Their menu items are also pretty amazing. I'm not a big oyster fan, but their oyster taco...no words other than simply delish! I also really like their guacamole. It's super easy to get carried away in there, so come ready to splurge. Parking is readily available, but I'd suggest parking directly across the street in the deck. Parking was free there. read more

Food and ambiance receives a full 3 stars. Service and everything else, receives 0 from me. I decided to come check out this location on Thursday afternoon, after a long workday and noted it was pretty slow; however service was non-existent. I understand us patrons do everything via phone, however, sitting for 15 minutes and more without so much as a glass of water while food is being prepared is a no bueno. I had to flag down a random employee that happened to be walking past my table, to ask for a glass of water and napkins so I could clean my table, as my table was dirty and the utensils provided were dirty. Anywho, I ordered my usual (I typically frequent the Marietta location, which is my fave BarTaco location), 2 oyster, 2 duck, and 2 chicken, as well as a spicy margarita. Everything came out quickly and was yummy per usual (hence 3 stars). I enjoyed the patio seating as it was really warm and sunny out, so I was able to chill and relax before the after work crowd showed up. I'll definitely come back to this location during spring/summer season, and hopefully by then, service is a bit better. Until then, see ya next time! read more

bartaco - Oyster, duck, chicken tacos and spicy margarita - Mexican Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I've been here a few times, but last nights experience wasn't as stellar. We waited an incredibly long time from when we ordered our food on our phone (you don't have servers) to the time it was brought to the table. In terms of the food, the tortilla on the chicken verde taco was way overdone, making it tough to chew. The tuna taco was OK, a little messy to eat because it's on a lettuce wrap. Papaya salad was cold/refreshing while sitting outside, but overall a little bland. We did enjoy the plantains though! They (and the sauce they serve with them) are consistently excellent. Lastly, because you don't have servers, you are left with a pitcher of room temp water to use throughout the meal. Sitting outside in the ATL summer heat, I wish it had some ice. read more

I was craving tacos all week and had bartaco bookmarked for some time and decided that today was the day! bartaco is located in the heart of Inman Park a neighborhood nestled very close to Ponce City Market. Parking may be trickiy, but there is the Inman Park public parking garage next to MF Sushi that's just a few blocks down the street if street parking isn't available. The restaurant is huge and very nicely and brightly decorated. There is plenty of outdoor seating that hugs along the restaurant with heat lamps for the chillier days to keep you toasty. If not, there are also plenty of seating indoor including booths, tables, and seats at the bar. Of course, I can imagine this placed being packed during peak times, however a good place to come hang out with a large group of people. bartaco's system is quite interesting. You scan the QR code that's on each table and there's a way to pay for your meal or share the tab with someone else. Very little human interaction for those who want to have a more introverted experience! You put in you order, pay, and someone will bring you your food right now. The menu had an assortment of tacos listed. It's a fusion of Americanized Mexican with a dash of Asian fusion type of taco joint. All the tacos are bite-sized with good flavor in each. We ended up trying the following tacos listed from most to least favorited (in my opinion): - Duck birria - Baja fish - Glazed pork belly - Seared chorizo - Chili lime shrimp (I'm not the biggest shrimp fan, so this may be biased!) We also had the Mexican street corn on the cob that is brushed with mayo and sprinkled with cotija cheese and cayenne pepper. Very yummy. They also have the off the cob version with the same ingredients for a more convenient (but less fun) eating experience. I also saw they have interesting additional toppings for your tacos including cucumber salad, kimchi, escabeche (picked veggies), and pineapples. Like I mentioned earlier, these are bite-sized tacos (as in three bites and done), so I would definitely try a bit of everything if you're super hungry. All in all, bartaco satisfied my tacos cravings and I'll be sure to be back sometime for more. read more

This is my favorite place these days. The food is prepared well with lots of flavor, it's clean, has a great bar scene and a sexy outdoor fireplace. They have yummy Mexican corn, traditional and fusion tacos. I got my food to go because it was late but have frequented this and other locations. This is my favorite. read more

Okay, I get the hype with bartaco now. Tacos are not authentic at all, but the flavors are interesting and creative. We ordered these tacos: -Tuna Tatako (Ancho-crusted seared tuna and asian slaw in a lettuce wrap): The tuna is delicious, although there are only 2 small pieces. -Crispy Rock Shrimp (Masa-crusted crispy rock shrimp with a remoulade sauce and a parsley slaw): Another one of my favorites, but the shrimp is so tiny! -Carne Asada: Not the most authentic carne asada but very tasty. -Falafel: This came with a tzatziki sauce and a spicy sauce. Really good, but quite spicier than I expected. -Glazed Pork Belly: This was one of the most hyped tacos but it fell short for us because the sauce was almost sweet or barbecue-like. -Chicken Chorizo: I wasn't a fan of this one! The texture of the chicken chorizo was very dry and crumbly. The flavor also wasn't as good as the other tacos. My favorites for sure were the Tuna Tatako and the Crispy Rock Shrimp. I liked how the tuna taco was lighter and fresh, while the shrimp taco was more rich with a crispy batter and a creamy sauce. I also enjoyed the Carne Asada and Falafel tacos. I would skip the Pork Belly (although a lot of people love this, just my personal opinion!) and the Chicken Chorizo. They have a selection of 12 different tacos. They are either $2.50 or $3.50, depending on the taco. Keep in mind though that these tacos are SMALL. Tacos in general are small, but these are more like mini tacos. The price seems pretty cheap, until you see how small they are. I saw most people recommending 3-4 tacos per person, but I would recommend 4-5 tacos per person! Even 6 if you are a big eater. These can be easily eaten in 2 bites, even 1 if you are a savage. I think 3 tacos is more of a snack/light meal. We also ordered the chips and guac. The guac here is fantastic. No under seasoned guac here. It was creamy but with some acidic brightness. The chips also come as a whole tortilla. So you can break off the chips yourself. For a drink, I ordered the Mojito Tinto, which was a mojito with spiced sangria. The server told me this was a sweeter drink, but I actually found it hardly sweet at all. I really enjoyed it however. Service was great! We came on a Wednesday night, and it was already super crowded. I don't even want to know how crowded it gets on a weekend. However, there were a few empty tables since this place is pretty big. We wanted to change tables, and they accommodated our request and cleaned up another table for us. It was our first time, so the server explained how it works. There is a note pad with the menu on it, and you take a pencil and fill out how many you want of each option. The server than reads out what you ordered. There is also a stand on the table to put a card in it if you need help or have any questions. Loved this experience! The interior is casual, yet very nice. Service was quick and attentive, although our food took a while to come out. I don't blame them though, because it was pretty packed. There is a parking deck, and you can get it validated by your server. However, remember to bring your parking ticket with you! I would return. read more

Hello! I am leave a two star review only because of rob! I love this bar to so and I will be back. But rob is working on a Saturday and so moody. I made a sarcastic joke and he had nothing to do with it. But he didn't get it so I apologized. After I did that he still looked at me like I am a bitch. Very unfriendly. Very not happy to be here an a Saturday making money with people who are having fun and are drinking. I hate doing this but I have to because of the boule negativity. He is only a bar tender tonight that makes the drinks for the mattresses but be nicer next time rob!!!! read more

Considering the aura and vibe of the place I'd rate it 5/5 However, it literally caters to the menu as it's name bar and taco. Hard to find anything else on the menu if you're looking for more and full meal! The portion size are bite sized for the tacos but I love their sauces : I loved all three!!! Falafel was my fav! read more

Imagine if Renovation Hardware started a taco stand, and you would be pretty close to what's happening here. BT produces tacos and other snackables with an aesthetic that can only be described as "upscale pacific beach." Look closely, and you'll find some Asian influence in the menu. They have a nifty system where you order small plates from your phone and they magically appear. Wife and I went to the Inman Park location, smashed up in the like, hippest area ever alongside Barcelona, Beetlecat, Fritti, and others. We started with the guacamole, which came out with a few tostada shells to break up and scoop. Guacamole was good quality, but better alongside a salty margarita. The marg was elevated and restrained, a little less sweet that you would find when cheapo triple sec is used. We tore into the tacos, and found them to be sporting good quality meat, with enjoyment greatly enhanced by the three bottles of house sauce at the table. I like the red myself. The energy was really the best part, though. The dining room was packed at 6:30 on a Sunday, with happy conversation all around and solid music playing. It takes a lot to get a babysitter and explore the city these days, so we plan our nights like this. Worth the visit. read more

This is always a comeback spot. Mondays weren't too pack we sat quickly by Zack. You have to scan the QR code to place your orders it's cashless. I guess it's updated now where you can eat and leave without closing your tab. Their system will automatically close you out but add an automatic 18% gratuity just FYI. Tacos never failed us! Only downfall was my sister didn't get her food until 10 mins after me and it was the wrong one. Other then that there's an outdoor sitting area which is breezy and food was good! Elote was delicious and tacos were on point! Options for all dietary choices. read more

Stopped on a whim as we were walking by. Sampled a big selection of tacos, and you can't go wrong with any of them. As a bonus the owners were super nice. Looking forward to going back next visit to Atlanta. read more

Walking in the whole pitch they give you made the place sound great. Everything made as it's ordered is such a lie. The pork belly was tougher to eat than a catchers mitt. Their ordering system was messed up. They forgot our beers so we got the wrong beer after we were done eating. Can't believe this lace is so highly rated. read more

Well guys here we go! No question the food is amazing but our service was not the best this time. We moved because it was cold by the door but where we moved it seemed like there were no servers. Everything came out super slow. We had to stop people to help us. Not good! read more

I've been to bartaco plenty of times, but took my mom for the first time last Saturday. When we arrived, the hostess said it would be about a 30 minute wait. Since my mom had never been to Inman Park, we walked the block and I showed her some other businesses in the area. When we came back, we stood for about 10 minutes and got a text that our table was ready. We were seated near the patio and with COVID, everything is touchless. A server came and dropped off two glasses and a carafe of water. They told us to place the card on the table topper if we needed service and a server would stop by. So we scanned the QR code on the table and ordered. We got guacamole, margaritas, empanadas, tacos (fish, chicken verde, and brisket), a side of street corn, and a side of pineapples. The food and drinks came out shortly after we ordered and everything was absolutely DELICIOUS as always! I love the fact that you could order on your own time; that made it super easy and fool-proof. When it came time to pay, you could do that on the site too. I enjoyed bartaco as usual and my mom loved it too for her first time. We'll definitely be back! read more

First time going yesterday and the tacos were SALTY! The waitress was friendly but for the price (expensive) I was expecting good tacos! Drink was $12 it wasn't bad but also small portions all the way around. I think you're paying for the ambiance at this place. Still on the lookout for a good taco place I'm new to this city and this ain't it. So far I would recommend El Azteca (on Peachtree rd)! Same priced drinks but better and yummy nice portioned food! read more

First time here, it was amazing! The atmosphere is like a beach feeling with music. This restaurant does not accept cash payment, scan the bar code at your table and put in your credit card and place the order, it was cool. We ordered the salsa, guacamole with chips, it was one of the best salsas we tasted. Ordered mushroom, fried avocado, and cauliflower tacos! OMG, it was the best for lunch. Service was awesome, everyone was so friendly. read more

I haven't been to Bartaco in years. This is my first time at this location. My friend and I decided to go after we had yoga because it was down the street. As soon as we came in, we were greeted by a nice young lady. We got to our table and she explained there's a QR code with the menu and you can place your order with that. Or you can ask for a menu and have a waiter handle the order (although they technically just give you "forms" that you fill out.) We used the QR code. It took us a couple tries because it wasn't saving either of our credit card information for some reason. But the food was great! Everything came out so fast. I kid you not it felt like I placed the order and then within 10 minutes everything was starting to come out. We both had spicy margaritas, which were fantastic. We started out with the trio dip, which was two salsas (verde and roja) and guacamole. All really good! I really like the salsa roja. It's a little spicy which I loved. I had three tacos. I had pork belly, sesame ribeye, and chicken verde. All so flavorful. I think my favorite was the sesame ribeye! And of course we had churros for dessert. Really good! I love the dipping sauces it comes with. Overall great food and experience. read more

I mean you just can't go wrong when you grab tacos at my all time fav spot. It's literally been like 8 years on a trip to D.C. I discovered this place & I'm still addicted to the same tasty items. I grab the Baja fish tacos which are always with the elote corn on the cob. Lastly, the only thing I switch up is whether I get key lime pie or the churros. What can I say you never quit a good addiction‼ read more

I had heard about Bartaco through various friends and Atlanta connections so I was excited to finally get the chance to visit. The tacos were tiny, which is in itself fine if they were tasty - but the tacos were very lacking in flavor. The Baja fish tacos was the saddest thing I had ever seen. The fish was tiny and mostly breading, and the slaw was also sparse and tasteless. The other tacos are heavily reliant on its sauce for flavor but the sauce to filling ratio was off. It almost felt like I was eating a sauce taco with filling on the side. The service was actually what knocked my rating down from a 3 stars to 2 stars. The bartender wasn't particularly friendly - she was was hard to get a hold of even though the bar wasn't particularly busier than normal. The staff member delivering orders was also extremely impatient. She would practically yell the order at you and if you didn't respond immediately, she'd proceed to shout it at you before tossing the tray on the table before leaving the table immediately. Because we weren't able to ask her questions, we had to flag down another staff member to ask about orders that never made it to our table. Overall, just a disappointing experience. read more

Bartacos - yes please! My friend who lives in Atlanta took me here for lunch. This place is super cute and has great food. You scan the menu and order from their website. It's a bit tricky as my friend ordered and missed a few items, guess we are all still getting use to this new system and way of ordering. I got the fish taco, the steak sesame and the tuna taco, she got the tuna bowl and got some guac and chips and plantains to share. We both got a drink but mine didn't go through and she accidentally got me a kids fish taco. It was still good but didn't have any of the onions or cilantro you normally get. But overall a very cool place, I would definitely come back! read more

I think it's a great stop, but only if you're looking for drinks and tapas-feel bites. I'd stop here again for sure. The flavor is there, just not a lot portion-size for said flavor! And maybe that's not necessarily a con if you know what you're in for. The real con, is their take on service. The occasional person was nice, but the initial and subsequent orders had to be placed through a website accessed via QR code, which was a very clunky experience. It even tacked on an extra item that we didn't ask for, or received! I assume it's also the cause of the long wait for the drinks. But, like I said, I'd stop again. The flavor was there. read more

Definitely not authentic tacos but still delicious. We got the corn soup, chorizo, duck, fish, el pastor tacos, and the corn (we opted for off the cob so you can do that if you wish) - its elote style so if you never had one then definitely get it!. the tacos are all 2 to 3 bites so you will want to get multiple tacos. read more

This was a whole new weird experience, and unfortunately on the second date with a woman I really liked. First, when we got there the place was 1/2 empty but we were told it would be a 20-minute wait. Being the second date, I just played along to get along to avoid any hiccups. Go to the bar, order two very overpriced drinks, and then finally get seated. No option where to sit, so we're at this table in the middle of the floor. Next, THERE IS NO MENU! Told we have to scan a F*ING QR Code, download some app, give your email address, wait for a text with an authentication code, sign back into email, follow the link....blah blah...WTF! This place is apparently targeting the 15-year-old social media crowd. So after starting this out and running into one more sign-up after another, albeit after about 15 MINUTES, finally flag someone down and get an actual menu that is the size of a birthday card and the print is like a size 4 font, and the place is dark. AGAIN... the second date, didn't want any ruffles, any other time I would have walked out LONG before. Order the food. Got the cucumber salad, duck barria, pineapple w/tajin, kimchi, pork belly, chips, guacamole, ribeye taco, and key lime. It was all very good, except the pineapple was just a few pieces of pineapple with a minuscule amount of tajin sprinkled on it (the biggest rip-off amongst all of the overpriced everything). The food tasted great. But the portions were pretty small, it was definitely VERY OVERPRICED! And outside of that, the actual 'restaurant experience', the 'service', was HORRIBLE!!! Let me repeat...HORRIBLE!!! If you don't care about spending money like it's toilet paper, QR codes, apps, email confirmations, tiny portions at full prices, security codes, CAPTCHA's, and are between 12-20 yrs old...or are influencing something and looking for cool selfies, this is the place for you. Otherwise, not even worth a second look, you will be disappointed. read more
