I love this place with my whole heart! Every time I come in, Tatum Steinberg is an absolute gem and the service is amazing!!!

May was the best server and did so well! She is the best and 10/10 recommend her! She was always at the table and helping whenever we needed her read more

Solid spot to grab tacos in downtown Boulder. Had to wait a little while to be seated, but it was a Friday night and the restaurant is situated on the main drag, so it was to be expected. Ordered the large trio (guac, red and green salsa, large round chips) to share. Guac was good and zesty, red and green salsa were spicy but in different ways (red was thicker, green was lighter), and the round chips were fun to break apart. Ordered four tacos: the Baja fish, glazed pork belly, roasted duck, and slow roasted pork. I'd recommend ordering at least three tacos, because there are on the smaller size. You could easily put one down in two bites. I liked the sweet glaze and crispiness of the pork belly, the light fry of the Baja fish, and the juiciness of the slow roasted pork. I forgot what the roasted duck tasted like. If you're looking for a hip spot to grab some tacos in Boulder, bartaco is worth checking out. read more

Great food, great atmosphere, and even better service. Andy and Neo were sensational. Way better than any other Bartaco I've been to!

Tapas style. Everything tasted fresh and the service was attentive and friendly. Outdoor seating is lovely, definitely recommend for gluten free people ! read more

I really just don't even know where to start. I was absolutely impressed by this place. From the moment we walked in, we were both ranting and raving about how cute the decor was and the amazing vibes that the place gave off. We started with a Paloma Fresca & a purple haze. Very appreciative that they had a spiritless option for non drinkers! The drinks weren't anything too special, but they were tasty and looked nice. Moving on to the food, we tried to small trio appetizer which included two salsas and a guacamole. Pretty tasty start to the meal. After that arrived the 6 tacos we decided on- Pistachio Cauliflower, sesame Rib eye, Chicken Verde, Mushroom, falafel, and glazed pork belly. Every single one was so flavorful and so well plated. The business model is a little unique with service mostly only being when you request it or need something. However, they were still very attentive and quick to respond when asked. Kudos to a great meal- I can't wait to return! read more

Oliver and Angie were great! Sat at the bar, great energy, must try her spicy marg. Can't go wrong!

Great food, and service. Would highly recommend. Outside seating is available to. Can be hard to get parking

I absolutely adore bartaco. the food is always so amazing, their drinks are so tasty; not too strong but definitely make you feel warm and happy. outside of the food, it has a great location on lively pearl street. the restaurant is decked with super fun lights, beautiful wood, plants. Neo has served me multiple times and I always have such a great experience with them! Very attentive, kind, charismatic. I always bring guests here when they come in to town and it never disappoints! HIGHLY reccomend the chorizo taco and pineapple pisco punch, but you honestly can't go wrong with anything! read more

Best food i've ever eaten! Our server Jake was the best. So many gluten free options!

Jake gave me the best service honestly i've ever had. Immediately once we sat he came up and greeted us with amazing vibes. He was so kind and helpful. He helped us with any confusion we faced and made the experience overall legendary. I seriously have never had a better sever. read more

Very impressed with this restaurant, right on the main street area of downtown boulder. A fusion modern Mexican style blend of great flavors, great options, and great hot sauce. I bought bottle to take home. Also is unique as you order through an app. A bit of a touristy style ordering scheme but the food was fab, so they definitely earned the five stars. Very friendly staff as well. they were super on top of missing/extra items we ordered and made sure we had a great dining experience. read more

Met the one and only Jake from State Farm from here. Apparently he has 25 half siblings, who woulda guessed? He serviced us so well, shoutout to him. Shit was ambient read more

We attended the Firefly Market in Oear Street this weekend and needed lunch. I have been to Bartaco for happy hour and this was my first lunch visit. What a delight! I ordered a cocktail I hadn't tried before, the summer caipirinha, and let the bar tender know I prefer my drinks more refreshing than sweet. He made it to perfection. My husband and I shared the "at the bar" menu of 3 tacos and gazpacho them ordered some plantains as these are my husband's favorite when done right. The tacos were all hot, fresh and delicious: chicken verde, mushroom and Baja fish. The gazpacho was good and also had a kick to it. The plantains were both sweet (but not too sweet) and spicy. Perfectly cooked and everything was amazing. If we weren't so full, we would have tried the churros for dessert. I guess we will have to go back! read more

My phone was dead when I came here. Why is this important? Well, somebody in your group better have a working battery, because you'll be doing everything on your phone--menu, ordering, paying, all of it. Fortunately someone in my group did have a phone, so we made it work. But if you're tech adverse or your battery is dead, well... So anyway, on to the food. The food is amazing. I had a variety of tacos--pork belly, chorizo, and chili lime shrimp. All excellent. There were hot sauces available but I didn't bother because the tacos were so flavorful. My husband had a fish taco and a poke bowl. I also had plantains and street corn, both a delight, and ginger mint tea. I love that you get a whole carafe so you don't need to wait for a refill to wash down those deliciously spiced tacos. The only thing I wasn't blown away by was the tres leches cake; the flavor was good, but it was small and a little dry for the price. I'll definitely be back for more incredible tacos. The ambiance here is awesome and everything is very clean. What service we had was fine, but since you do most of it on your phone, the service is minimal. read more

Food was amazing and Jake did a great job of taking care of us! The atmosphere was great as well.

The hostess Sasha was an angel! She was so sweet and made sure to get us in as soon as she could. Will be coming back!

Bartaco had amazing service. Lindsay was so sweet and made the dinner amazing. Highly recommend this location. Great ambiance and vibes.

I was a big fan of Bartaco and already looking forward to coming back again the next time I'm in the Boulder area. They have a good selection of various tacos, and while they're on the smaller side they make up for it with a punch of flavor! My rankings below in order leading up to the best: - Cauliflower Taco - Pretty Bland - Chile-Lime Shrimp Taco - Okay - Mushroom w/ Queso Fresco Taco - Good - Glazed Pork Belly Taco - Really Good - Spiced Lamb Kofta Taco - AAAAAmazing! read more

Honestly wouldn't recommend going here-- there's so many great taco places you could go to instead. I came here with some coworkers for lunch (8 of us) and it wasn't a great experience. We walked in and wanted to be seated inside & the waiter was really rude to us and sat us outside. didn't realize until later from another server that they don't open up the entire indoors until later in the day, which is why we didn't have the option. The service was ehh after that, miscounting the number of waters we needed & bringing out the food sporadically so that some people were done before some even got theirs are two examples. Of course the workers were kind and were working hard, I've just experienced better. The food was just ok-- what stood out to my coworkers and I were the pork belly, the Baja fish, and the duck tacos. Do NOT order the cauliflower taco haha. read more

The tacos we shared were very fresh and tasty. I liked the salsas served with the chips. The margaritas were good but were small, served in whiskey tumblers and very expensive. The service was great and the ambiance is very active and noisy, but in a good way. read more

The tacos were very yummy! I had two verde chicken tacos which were phenomenal and the falafel taco which was not (mostly because I am not a fan a tzatziki sauce). I recommend getting 3 tacos (four if you are starving). The red salsa they have is very interesting, it has a nice flavor base and is actually quite thick , but soooo spicy (too spicy for me!) The chips are actually whole corn tortillas that you break apart. We had the churros which were quite crunchy on the outside (I prefer mine softer) but the dipping sauces were superb (semisweet chocolate and a vanilla icing). The cherry margarita was good, though I recommend hitting up happy hour to knock down its price. The place is very nice and the lighting really stands out at night. The service was good. read more

Food is wonderful and our server what the sweetest person on the planet. Shout-out to Jordan Z! You were the reason we left 5 stars.

This place makes me happy. Been literally coming here for almost a decade. Super consistent. Quality food, fantastic drinks topped with stellar service. My faves are the tuna taco and cod ceviche. Seriously fresh. Same with their margaritas. The pork belly tacos are also super tasty! Now the best part is their ordering system. No flagging down of the staff to get an order in. Why don't more places do that? Sooo efficient. And you still get the human touch when they bring over the food. The ambiance and quality of food keep it feeling classy. Keep it up folks! read more

Food, service, atmosphere, and staff was all excellent! Highly recommend this place! Get the chicken verde tacos and the slow roasted pork tacos, along with the guac, salsa verde, and salsa roja trio. Beware: margaritas are strong. read more

ACO On October 5, myself and 2 friends (all Asian American) and my dog attempted to go to dinner here. There were clearly open tables on the patio, which assumed that's where the dog-friendly area was. The host requested to be patient and that they were waiting for people to check into their reservation. After nearly 20 minutes, the host had not informed us of any updates so we checked and he said it was another 30 minutes while there were open tables. While we're hoping this isn't the case, we couldn't help to think this decision was race influenced since we were the only people of color there. Other people also without a reservation were able to walk in. read more
