I cannot say enough good things. Bear in mind that I only ever sit at the bar, I typically go after what used to be my favorite tacos ever until they evaporated from the menu - the carnitas :( - and I really dig the aesthetic. With that in mind... Bartenders: excellent. Drinks: from scratch, divine quality, phenomenal attention to detail. Food: lovely, even if they did eliminate the best taco from the array; that's okay, the pork belly is a close second and fills in wonderfully. Service: see Bartenders - splendid. Atmosphere: fun, energetic, beachy; the kind of shiplappy and baskety goodness that you always WANT in a taco place that so often doesn't make it through the door I will be back. Lots. Because it's the best! read more

I love this restaurant! Every time I come here the service is amazing everyone working there is very attentive and wanting to make sure that your experiences the best it can be. The restaurant is very nice and very fun beachy vibe, and the food is outstanding, and at a good price to, always very quick. 10/10 read more

Love this place so much. I always forget to check in every time I go. I love their cocktails (not pictured on this review). Their appetizers are delicious. Service is great and very friendly. You order on your phone so that's convenient :) Atmosphere is a vibe! Def recommend checking it out read more

I love Bartaco. As a CT native where there are a number of Bartacos, I was so happy to see one in Denver. I haven't been able to have a meal at a Bartaco in several years since moving so it was great going with my fiancé. He's heard me talk about Bartaco plenty of times and our visit only confirmed the hype. If you're planning to come to Bartaco thinking it's a Mexican restaurant or like regular tacos, then you aren't thinking of the right place. This is where you go to discover and try a multitude of small dishes with one of their cocktails. Their vibe is always chill and relaxed at every location. Regardless of the state. We each got the Baja taco, pork belly, and tuna. My fiancé went with these in addition to the falafel. Every taco is delicious, especially the pork belly- I could eat like five of those. The tuna was also amazing and I feel like the Baja is always a staple for me even though between the other two, the flavor isn't as high, but that's what I like about it cause it's all about the crunch satisfaction with the Baja. I also ordered the salad which was delicious. I couldn't finish it all since we also ordered guacamole. I love Bartaco and always have great experiences at each location. Next time I'm in Denver, I'll be back. read more

Best veggie tacos I've ever had! Also, the drinks were fresh and amazing and it's so cutely decorated! Definitely recommend!! read more

Bartaco - Tacos Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Great atmosphere. Great drinks came in on a Friday and they played great music. The tacos were really good. The bartenders were fun!

This restaurant has a very fun, trendy vibe inside. Delicious cocktails, in particular the margarita which is made with their own tequila. Tacos are creative and made with a wide variety of unique ingredients like duck, tuna, and even fried avocado. Tacos in general are pretty tasty, but there definitely were a few "misses" in the bunch -- the tuna was pretty weak in particular. Pork belly taco was the highlight for both me and my partner. read more

BarTaco is always amazing, whether it's the chopped salad or the pork belly tacos, they're always great! I've even had tacos I expected (not to) enjoy like a califlower taco and they were also great. BarTaco never disappoints, that's why I come back time and time again! read more

I want to love this place (great vibe and decor) but I absolutely HATE the concept. You have to order everything yourself using your phone and, in theory it's a cool idea, but in practice it was frustrating as hell. My first experience was in Boulder and when we had issues with the phones there, we ended up getting normal table service like you would in any other restaurant- it ended up being a great experience! A year later we popped into the Highlands location (forgetting about their no server concept) and again had issues getting on their platform with our iPhones. There's nothing more frustrating than sitting down at a table and immediately getting stressed out trying to figure out how to order your own food and drinks. This concept just isn't for me. When I am spending $15 for a cocktail, I want good service to go with it. This place is a fail in my book. read more

Duck quesadilla is the best thing on the menu, next to the green margaritas, of course! This deliciousness was eaten so quickly only one piece left in the photo. Love the concept of ordering on your phone. Friendly staff, great music, clean and happy vibes. COME TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA PLEASE! read more

Bartaco - Duck quesadilla! Best thing on the menu! - Tacos Near Me - Denver, Colorado

The ordering system is complicated. Our order arrived wrong for everyone in a party of 5. The food was meh. Honestly I don't understand the rave behind this restaurant. The one thing that was yummy was the Arnold palmer. read more

Wow. Just went here last night, and I am already craving more of the pork belly tacos. What an awesome place. Shout out to Catalina who was hands down one of the most customer friendly employees we have ever met in the restaurant industry. She found out it was my birthday and gave us a bottle of the happy habanero sauce to bring home after we commented on how good it was. We started with the esquites (otherwise known as elote in certain geographical areas) and the guacamole and homemade chips. The corn was fabulous and the guacamole was delicious. I am very picky about guacamole too, so that's saying a lot. Next, we all ordered the tacos. Honestly, the tacos are just chock full of flavor. At the recommendation of my daughter and her boyfriend, I ordered 2 pork belly tacos and 2 duck tacos. Both were superb. But the pork belly tacos have just stayed on my mind like a great song I can't get out of my head. They were that good! Looking forward to coming back. read more

We stumbled upon this place last night and I'm so glad we did!! Everything single thing was amazing and not to mention SO fresh! You could absolutely tell everything was made from scratch with the freshest ingredients. My husband got the tuna tatako and said it was the best taco he's ever had. We will definitely be making Bar Taco our new go to for drinks, delicious food, and great service. Thank you for an amazing date night! read more

Bartaco - Tacos Near Me - Denver, Colorado

So excited for this new spot in my neighborhood! We weren't sure what to expect but the anticipation has been growing daily! Finally last week when walking by we saw they had opened so popped in (or called to put ourselves on the waitlist)...so glad we did! My husband went overboard the tacos were so good and while he was stuffed, somehow decided to try every single one :) I was good with my usual portion size. The tuna was amazingggggg! Loved the chicken too, but man that tuna was the best. We got churros just because as well and they were also great! This will definitely become a go to (now we just hope they remember us)! We also loved that the ordering and paying were all completely virtual, so we were able to leave whenever we wanted and order as needed. read more

Delicious tacos! Also the sides are good too - get the street corn and recommend rice and beans. Service is great too and it's always a good vibe! read more

Drinks were amazing and the bartender was so knowledgeable. Had the Paloma and it was the best one I'd ever had. All fresh squeezed fruit.

A fun place for small bites and drinks. We've eaten at the one in Boulder, CO and on 12 South in TN. They both have a great vibe!

You need to try this place. I don't write reviews often but this place deserves a great one. Excellent vibe and decor. Super delicious and super fresh food. They even hand press their juice for their drinks! I had the best pink lemonade of my life (pomegranate limonada) and every else loved their margaritas. The street corn dip and guac with fresh chips is a must order. Shout out to Chris and the rest of the staff for nailing it. read more

Bartaco is almost so trendy that I never wanna go in, but once I do I'm pleased. Sat at a normal table but the real action is at the bar; can people watch for hours. Ordering and paying is purely off of your phone, which I enjoy but I always think about how my parents would struggle if they came here. Came after playing basketball and felt undressed because the vibe is lohi millennials trying to get after it but I still always enjoy it! read more

Love this spot & all its delicious menu. Favorite appetizers are the plantains and corn on the cob + favorite taco is Baja fish. Awesome service, but definitely expect it to get crowded on Friday & Saturday nights. Overall vibe is amazing & staff is super friendly! read more

Bartaco - Tacos Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Yikes. Another trendy taco bar in Denver - just ok tacos. Ok margs. But quite literally the worst hospitality I've experienced in a long time. The bartender was friendly but took 10min to get drinks. I ordered the sangria and it was not my cup of tea. I asked to exchange it for a margarita. When the bill came we asked about removing the sangria and was told "you ordered it you pay for it". We did not enjoy the beverage nor drink it. Asked for the manager to remove it and was told she couldn't be found. Meanwhile she was sitting in the corner on her phone. Bartender asked again and manager removed it but failed to chat with us about our experience. This was our first visit here and will not be back. An easy win to accommodate your guests and make them want to give you another a try.... But no care from management as she continued her call. read more

Getting a table was bizarre! We called and put ourselves on the list at 6pm. They said it would be 1 1/2 hours. At 7 we show up(Friday night) and they say 2 hours. There is ALMOST NO ONE IN THE RESTAURANT. We sit down in the lounge area and are immediately told we have a table! How strange! We file thru a nearly empty room to sit in the back. The speakers over our heads are blasting so loud we can't hear ourselves think. We ask if the volume could be turned down. No bueno. You have to order on your phone so it was a cluster for 6 people who were paying separately. The drinks were tasty but the tacos were completely uninspired. Bland, dry, and listless. I recommend the owners do a field trip to El Segundo in Vail. They will taste inspiration! The bill was 260$ for 6 cocktails and 12 tacos. This place needs some help. read more

Experience is You do all the ordering and checking out from your phone. Felt like being in a fast food restaurant. The expensive tacos were also not great, just meat on a tortilla. The meat is good but no sauce, not dressed up at all. And the guac is sad, plain sad. I can make better food at home and I'm not a chef. Choose Machete, Tacos Tequila Whiskey, really anywhere but here of you want value and an experience. read more

I had high expectations for this bartaco. Especially after dining at the one in Tampa. The location and decor are 5 star. But there were a couple things I didn't love. For starters I really didn't enjoy the order via app experience. We barely had any Interaction with the servers. It was just...different? Others may love it, just not for me. Second the chips and salsas didn't have much flavor. Shrimp taco had some great heat. The drinks were strong and flavorful. This is a place I'd grab some drinks and an appetizer at next time. read more

Service was amazing Chandler our server knew his stuff We felt welcome and appreciated! Please thank him for the great service. Food was excellent. We live in south suburbs. Will definitely plan a date downtown so we can come back here. An overall great evening read more

I came to this establishment because of their allergen menu they provide and they are very dairy and soy free friendly. Thank you for catering to people with food allwrgiI was surprised at the food since I was expecting bland hipster vibes but it was good. I liked the duck taco, spiced chicken verde and the chorizo. The pork was a little bland and dry for me. The servers were kind and friendly although understaffed and busy. I love their kids menu and my 8 month old enjoyed the chicken, plantains and fruit skewer. Guac was fresh and spicy. The place is slightly overpriced but overall I would return again. read more

Bartaco is both the best taco in the Boulder area as well as being one of the coolest taco-concepts that exists. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, many restaurants have tried to implement low-contact food service and Bartaco simply does it right. By scanning a QR-code using your phone, you are presented with a vast menu with a variety of unique tacos ranging from carne asada to duck (which is surprisingly delicious) and a fantastic drink/dessert selection. While eating you will surely want to continue the flow of tacos which can be easily done with the click of a button. Bartaco has extremely fast service even though it is mostly contactless. I personally would recommend anyone to try the fish taco, the duck taco, and pork belly taco. Bartaco is must-visit spot in Boulder but be careful, you WILL be coming back every week for your fix. read more

If you want to enjoy decent tacos with great vibes, bartaco fits the bill! Tip: they don't take reservations, but there is a waitlist you can put yourself on through their website. Food: The tacos weren't that impressionable. However, their chips with your choices of dip is the highlight at bartaco. First - their chips are whole tortillas dusted with a powder that's a mix between Dorito's nacho cheese and ranch. Their 2 salsas, green and spicy red, were great. I typically love my guac with a strong lime flavor and their version hit the spot! Drinks: I got the limeade which was refreshing on a hot summer evening. Although a little pricer for the amount I got, it complimented the food. Overall: Honestly, I wasn't impressed with the tacos - there was a variety of options (e.g. ahi tuna vs. carnitas). I personally like a place that specializes in one thing and not fusion. Definitely worth visiting just for the chips + dips! read more

I came here with a group on 4 on a Saturday evening and to our surprise we were sat right away! I've heard of this place being very busy and they don't take reservations so that was a very pleasant surprise. The food was great but portions are pretty small and avocado is $1.50 for a half inch sliver. I do love that they have you order online so you can keep you tab open and not worry about figuring out how to split up the bill read more

Better believe the word on the street: bartaco is the spot. I have been twice already and loved the atmosphere, food and service. Drinks are top-notch, too. Nino, Stephanie and Zach were legit and super accommodating. Rad managers who deserve and major nod for their clear hard work. Chris was awesome, too! I am telling you, stop in here if your in the Highlands and enjoy ahi tuna, falafel, cucumber, ribeye or chicken all in taco form. Bravo team, see ya soon! read more

Terrible, to put it lightly. Zero service, predicated by an app you have to order on even though you're there seated at a table in person, in an attempt to be hip. Lacks personal touch, or the whole reason for service of any kind, and a tip to reflect the service rendered! Ordered a double (drink) & they brought a taller skinned glass that still held a single, but charged more! When I brought it to the "server's" attention, she scoffed at me & walked off! All the while, the bartender was not hustling to put orders out, instead danced around & got lost on his smartphone! What a rip off and HORRIBLE service!! Over priced to boot!! Never going back, & hope no one else does either! They want $$$ for almost nothing or zero effort! read more

So excited that the Denver location just opened. The food didn't disappoint - so glad they put the oyster taco back. Cocktails are always great. My only feedback which was a disappointment - everything is done digitally which I understand but after the initial great no server ever came back to quality check us or see how we were doing. Not even a thank you at that end. Really takes away from the experience. read more

Food was okay...nothing to brag about. But I did think the happy hour margarita plus taco combo was a good deal. One big negative I have is that the HH sangria is the same price as the non HH sangria...so why advertise it's on HH if it's the same price? Seems like some false advertising. read more

I ordered to-go for the wife and myself tonight. Margaritas and an assortment of delicious tacos. Unfortunately, For some reason I only ordered five tacos and forgot the plantains. It just wasn't enough, I'm ashamed, and now my wife is leaving me. To go get more tacos probably. Just be safe and order way more because the tacos are so good, don't be like me. Also, always buy the guy at the end of the bar a shot. It's a new rule I just made up and plan to benefit from, full transparency. read more

10/10 recommend. Great atmosphere and food/drinks are amazing. I love their ordering system, it makes it super easy to split checks. Shout out to Micheal and Colleen for their impeccable service. read more

Bartaco does it again! We've been to many of their locations and are never disappointed. So happy to finally have one in our neighborhood! We were instantly greeted by the manager, Zach, who made us feel like home. Everything tasted so fresh and amazing. We loved being able to order straight from your phone. Food and drinks came out quick and we loved the ordering process of being able to modify. Pork belly was my boyfriends favorite. For vegans and gluten free eaters I did the portobello in a lettuce wrap and no quest fresco (amazing) along with the cauliflower that came with a delicious sweet yet mildly spicy romesco sauce. They make all of their tequila in house - explains why the margs are so good. Thank you bar taco for keeping your integrity. See you next time Pro tip- download their app to join the waitlist before you go read more

The food is good and the service is great. But the music is HORRIBLE. They absolutely BLASTED the song "Loving You is a Losing Game", and other songs like that, on a Saturday night!!!! And it was too loud to ignore. It was not the vibe at all. Everything else is great though! read more

My husband I came here while visiting Denver and stumbled across this place on accident. Thank god! Zack had the best energy a bartender could have and the ambiance was the cutest. We got tacos and margaritas and they were delicious. They make their own tequila which I thought was very cool. We will be telling our our friends about this place and can't wait to return. read more
