I'd heard great things about Bartaco for a while, so I was happy I finally got the chance to try it! I happened to be at the mall waiting for my phone to be repaired and decided to stop in. I was grateful I did...The staff was friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in and was able to accommodate me without any issues. Jada H was our server and recommended some of her favorites. The drinks were delicious...I loved the spicy margarita, and the tacos were fresh, flavorful, and absolutely hit the spot. What started as an unplanned lunch ended up being one of my favorite meals. Great food, great service, and a pretty atmosphere. I'll definitely be back! read more

Had a gift card & was excited to try this place out...who doesn't love tacos? Our server, Gerardo, was friendly but however- no checking on us after we got our food since he was busy with other tables and never apologized for "his mistake" putting in the wrong taco type (6 baja fish instead of 6 pork belly that I ordered- second round) & made it seem like it was my fault because he couldn't find my order slip in the trash. Anyway, for the tacos: we got the mojo pork carnitas, pork belly, sesame ribeye, roasted duck, crispy shrimp & baja fish. We also got the duck birria quesadilla, plantains, korean bbq ribeye rice bowl & ahi tuna crispy rice bowl, a side of esquites (street corn off cob) & the seasonal fruit (honeydew) with tajin. All the food came out together so it took a long while. They were obviously short staffed. The pork belly & pork carnitas tacos were our faves- both were flavorful & the pork belly skin was crispy. The shrimp & fish tacos were perfectly fried. The ribeye & roasted duck taco meat were dry. The duck birria quesadilla was really good even tho the broth was a little bland. Corn was spicy yet tasty, we enjoyed the sweet fried plantains too. The rice bowls were disappointing- way too much sauce in the ahi tuna bowl, which made everything very salty & the crispy rice became soggy, and the Korean bbq ribeye was dry & tough- it's basically just a bibimbap. I don't recommend getting rice bowls at a taco place lol. The worst thing was the seasonal fruit with tajin that my daughter ordered. The honeydew was not riped nor sweet but rather flavorless & tasted sour with the tajin & lime juice- disgusting :x read more

Great addition to the restaurants on the outside of Roosevelt Field Mall - there's an entrance on the outside straight from a parking lot. I heard their happy hour specials are great, so I need to come back for that! 2 adults and one kid on a weeknight. Large space, beautifully decorated, friendly and helpful staff. Most of the menu is gluten-free and you can also customize your order. The food and drinks we tried were delicious. 2 of us each had a bowl, one had 3 tacos, plus we shared guacamole w chips. 2 shared churros and one had gelato. Dinner ordering and service went great, but they seemed to have forgotten to put in our dessert order. We waited a VERY long time. While we were waiting for dessert a could servers were nearby cleaning other tables, not checking on us. Eventually we were able to call one over to check on our dessert order. It finally arrived soon after that. read more

Great addition to the outside mall area. Food is clean and delicious and the drinks are top notch!! You can smell the fresh citrus being squeezed into the drinks. The produce that goes into each drink is very fresh including the mint leaves. The staff is attentive and ready to please. Tacos are small as they should be. The recommendations of choosing 3-5 a person sounds about right, definitely more than 5 if you're not having apps. I opted for the bib lettuce tacos, one with shrimp and one with cauliflower. My husband had a variety of the other types and loved them all. The cucumber side dish was delicious. The kimchi was too salty for us but tasty. My watermelon mint margarita was refreshingly yummy and the mojito was fantastic as well! The place has a cool summer vibe with blue and white pillows along benches. It's pretty busy if you want a table but bar area isn't a problem. read more

Bartaco - Tacos, elote - Mexican Near Me - Garden City, New York

I came here with my husband for lunch and they told us to go the bar for happy hour. We went and we waited a little to get served but there was only one bartender. Then when we got served I ordered the happy hour margarita and it was super good. We ordered our tacos and man were they good especially the pork belly tacos. Those tacos were out of this world. I also ordered the spindrift seltzer and it was a good deal for $4. The tacos are bite size tacos so you need to order like 5 to be full. I would definitely come back but they needed more another bartender to make the service faster! read more

Nice and cute decor, came for lunch during the weekday and it had a few groups eating lunch already. We got a passion fruit margarita, regular margarita and one with spinach mango and passion fruit. We all enjoyed the cocktails. So fresh and great. Got the large guac and it was our first time seeing the chips as a giant circle instead of pieces but it was good and so was the guac. Favorite tacos: shrimp, fish (fried), pork belly. Pass on the chicken and ribeye (very dry) The shrimp ceviche was flavorful and the hot sauces they have on the table (3 of them) were all good. For service if you need someone you have to put the card on the holder and then they will come. Other than that they won't come. read more

I had a fantastic experience at bartaco, and a big reason was Natasha. She was welcoming, professional, and clearly cares about both her team and her guests. She made sure everything ran smoothly, checked in to make sure we were enjoying our meal, and went above and beyond to create a great dining experience. It's easy to see that her leadership has a positive impact on the restaurant. The staff worked well together, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was friendly and inviting. Thank you, Natasha, for making our visit so enjoyable. We'll definitely be back! read more

I came back with my cousin after initially visiting in June and had yet another great experience! The service from the moment you check in is amazing, with staff smiling at you and explaining how to order, and asking if everything's good throughout. It is honestly really refreshing and makes you feel welcomed. For the food, we each got two tacos and shared the guac + chips and the street corn off the cob. I hadn't tried the corn and was obsessed! It was delicious and i even added some sauce that was provided and it was even better. The cauliflower taco isn't the most traditional but i recommend it, it's flavorful, and my cousin and I both agreed we'd get it again. this place is also super affordable, and the ambiance is a vibe , with dim lighting and good music. I overall recommend and will be back more often ! read more

Walked in to 90's R&B playing - quick greeting and placement - an attentive waiter who explained options of placing orders. Started with guacamole and chips - Yucatán shrimp taco (least favorite) pork belly (loved it) fish taco (tasty) Brussels sprouts (delicious) roasted duck (ok but very dry) never received my ahi tuna - my friend ordered the churro bites (very disappointing - he said it tasted like pancake batter and was raw/undercooked inside) I ordered the key lime and it was good - I love the simple decor we were seated in a booth area that remind me of sitting on a boat. read more

Came on a Saturday afternoon and parking was tough, but once inside the restaurant had a cool atmosphere while still feeling very casual and relaxed. We were a party of three without reservations and were seated right away. We started with chips, guacamole, and the red and green salsas. The chips are more like thin tortillas and were the perfect pairing with a cold beer. For tacos, we tried the duck, pork belly, mojo pork, fish, and chicken verde. The portion size was just right--enough to try a few and still leave full without feeling heavy. The fish taco was one of the best I've had: perfectly crispy with a great crunch, balanced with slaw and sauce. The mojo pork was also really flavorful with a great sauce. Our waitress was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. The only downside was that the bathrooms were a bit messy. On a positive note, we noticed dogs outside, which is great if you're looking for a dog-friendly spot. Overall, great tacos, fun atmosphere, and we'll definitely be back. read more

Decided to try out this new spot at RF. I sat at the bar and the service was great, the bartenders were so nice. I tried the house reposado in a ginger grapefruit agua fresca. SO GOOD. The menu suggested getting 3-5 tacos per person so i started off with the pork belly, the chicken, and the steak. I ended up adding a 4th taco because they are pretty small. Out of all of them, my favorites were the pork belly and the shrimp. The steak was a little dry. The sauces they have at the tables are good. The interior is modern and pretty welcoming. I'd come back to try other items. read more

Great ambiance. Wonderful and friendly service. Amazing Mexican food. Kid friendly with pineapple,corn, and quesadillas. They were given coloring books and crayons immediately. I had a crispy rice bowl. Delicious. The selection of tacos accommodated a variety of appetites. Just be prepared for the subtle spice. There was also a nice choice of cocktails. Definitely worth the trip. If you are at the mall I suggest Bartaco instead of the food court. read more

Bartaco is the perfect addition to the Roosevelt Field Mall Restaurant collection. I believe it opened a few months ago, replacing Osteria Morini. I came here last night for the first time, and without a doubt will return again in the near future. The food, flavors, and price point are entirely worth it. 1. Food- A variety of tacos to choose from. There are plentiful meat, pescatarian, and vegetarian options. I personally recommend the Chicken Verde and Chile Lime Shrimp tacos. The sesame ribeye taco was just okay, too much kimchi for me. They also have a fun appetizer sampler that gives you a taste of the street corn, guac, plantains and a refreshing cucumber salad. I highly recommend this for 1440 calories! I love that the menu includes nutrition/calorie information. Side note, if you are a sour cream lover, they have none. You can either run to Chipotle next door for a side of sour cream or try their delicious (really delicious) gordita sauce. I hope Bartaco decides to add sour cream to the menu, but I can also see why they don't have it. 2. Decor- They really redid the space quite nicely. The outdoor seating option is ideal for the summer, but the inside is pretty breathtaking. Coming here makes you feel like you are in California! 3. Staff- Everyone we interacted with was friendly and attentive. Our server gave us great recommendations and made us feel welcome despite our condiment debacle. We left him a good tip, as it isn't his fault that you guys don't have sour cream! He tried his best read more

This has become my new favorite quick bites spot at the mall. I frequent Roosevelt Field often and this is such a good addition. The food is amazing. You don't have to ask what's in the tacos, because the flavors are all paired so perfectly. The tiny kale cesar salad is one of my favorite things to get, it's soooo good and just the right size to pair with tacos. Now let's get into the drinks, all of the juices are FRESH! They make wonderful mocktails with natural sweeteners and fresh juice. The mixers that go into the cocktails are also squeezed fresh, on site as the drinks are made. The margaritas and tequila drinks are sooo refreshing. The servers are always friendly, service is pretty quick depending on the crowd. I normally sit at the bar and I love that they have outlets and bag hooks at the bar, so easy for a recharge, a bite and a drink while shopping. This restaurant has easy access because it is on one of the corners of the mall, so you enter from the parking lot. of the juices read more

I've only been to Bartaco in CT, so I'm glad to learn that a location has opened up on Long Island. The restaurant is beautifully designed and has plenty of tables and bar seating. We started off with a "Large" order of guac and chips. Not sure if they should advertise it as large because it came with a measly amount of guac, not even half of a flat bowl, plus 6 large circular chips. By the time we were down to our last 2 chips, the three of us were scraping the bowl to savor any last bit of guac. I ordered the Baja Fish & Pork Belly tacos with a side of Street Corn. The fish taco was good but the pork belly really blew me away. It was delicately sweet and tender. The elotes came with 2 small cobs, which was the perfect side dish. I do want to add that all the dishes had just enough spice to it. If heat is your thing, you will not be disappointed. All in all, Bartaco is a great addition to Roosevelt Field and will definitely opt to dine here next time instead of the oversaturated food court. read more

3.9/5 Food- Plantains and dipping sauce- so damn good. I'm not even the biggest sweet plantain, but these were just incredible and the dipping sauce was so good. - I got an old-fashioned made with anejo, delicious, but for the price it felt like a rip off The tacos were solid. I forgot how small they are. My favorite was the pork belly taco. I also got the Baja fish and the steak and those were good too. The tortilla was definitely a weak point though it was pretty bland. For dessert I got the Keylime pie and I will probably be thinking about it for quite some time. It was incredible. The service was fine, kind staff. The decor was nice and the outdoor dining area made you feel like you were in Tulum read more

A new taco place on Long Island right inside Roosevelt Field Mall! They have a happy hour or "High Tide Hour" menu on weekdays from 3 to 6 PM at the bar only. I usually end work at 6 PM, but I got out early from an appointment and was able to make it to happy hour too! The bar table was very comfortable and had hooks right under for jackets or bags. The bartenders were both very friendly and gave excellent recommendations. My boyfriend and I shared everything. We got one of each of the 6 appetizers and 4 cocktails from the happy hour menu and 6 tacos from the regular menu. For appetizers, my favorite is the crispy chicken Flauta which tasted like a better made chicken taquito from 7eleven and second would be the pork belly sope (much too my surprise!). The pork belly sope is crispy instead of the fatty-like texture I was expecting and very smokey. The chicken Croqueta, tuna Tartare and chorizo pinxto were average. As for the shrimp Mariscos, I usually love shrimp but the sauce tasted like a bloody Mary with hints of Chile and lime and it was not it for me. The drinks were all well mixed and it's nice to know that margaritas are happy hour pricing when it's raining outside! Can't go to a taco place without trying the tacos! And they were delicious. The two that were recommended were definitely my favorites - Baja Fish and pork belly along with crispy shrimp which is my usually go to at any taco place. I usually like the pulled pork but this one was not it for me. In addition, the octopus was fresh and cooked well but the sweetness of the sauce was not it for me as well. As for chorizo, it's like any chorizo which my boyfriend liked. Super cute restaurant with lots of seating. Will definitely be back for happy hour!! read more

Really like what they've done with this new spot--such a great transformation. The decor feels fresh, and the menu has definitely been upgraded. The prices? Incredibly affordable, which is a huge win these days. I had to double-check the bill a few times because everything seemed too good to be true. I ordered the ahi tuna rice bowl--tuna was perfectly cooked and super fresh. I could've done without the extra sauce at the bottom; a bit too salty for my taste, but overall the combo worked. The street corn had just the right kick of spice--loved it. And the kale salad? Perfect pairing. Drinks were on point. The sangria and margarita both hit the spot--so good. The chicken tacos were flavorful, though a little plain--just meat and tortilla. Would've liked something extra there. Dessert was the tres leches. Delicious cake, but I scraped off the topping; the caramel cream and coconut felt unnecessary. read more

This bartaco was part of the Roosevelt field mall. The place was packed the whole time we were there. Fortunately we got seated pretty quickly. We tried some of their tacos. A person can easily eat 3-4 tacos minimum. Of the lot, we liked the mushroom, brussel sprout, fish, pork belly. I tried the tamale and that was good too. Love their 3 salsas that are packaged in a thoughtful squeeze container with a nozzle. The ambulance was busy and modern. Loved the whole experience. Service was great. We were greeted with smiling faces read more

After shopping at the Mall, I couldn't help but stop at this lovely restaurant. I felt like I was away in the Hamptons with the beach vibes and decor. The mocktails were delicious!

Guac was a little bit spicy but not too spicy. Chips were fresh and crispy. Shrimp tacos was a bit too spicy for me but flavorful. I love that i can substitute for lettuce instead of the taco shell. The mojito was refreshing and delicious. I would say they are smaller than the average taco so you may need to order more. The ahi tuna was delicious. I didn't need any sauce for any of the tacos. I wish they also had grilled fish for tacos but I did like their fried one. Love that they have coloring books for the kids and cute cups. Decor was nice and spacious. Service was great and we got our food fast but then they forgot about us and I did have to flag someone to give me the check. read more

The food was very petite which we were warned about, but what if it just wasn't petite and the company made it bigger. The place itself is very cute and trendy, but the service is nowhere near trained. It appears they very much want us to do a lot ourselves such as order on the QR code pay on the QR code. They even want us to put up a blue sign when we want service. We had to ask for water a few times and for to go containers twice. These are things that should just be done. read more

As soon as we arrived the wait time was very little. We were seated in a nice spacious booth. This was my second time going here and they did not disappoint. Took my son for his birthday and my husband for his pre birthday celebration as well since their birthdays are 3 days apart. My husband and I have been here before but this was my son's first time. He loved it. He had 4 carne asada tacos. He said they were the best he has ever had. I had the fish tacos, shrimp tacos and even saved room for dessert. I love that it is small bites so that we can mix and match without being stuffed. Would definitely go again. read more

Had a coupon for $20 off $30 food only, so I decided to give the food here another try. It was a Saturday night so the place was packed. I sat at the bar. Even with the dragonfly sign, it was hard to get either of the bartenders attention. The passion fruit margarita was tasty as usual, but I'm used to a stronger margarita. I had the seasonal fruit bowl with Tajin which was good, but not worth the price in my opinion. However, it was the item to bring my food to a total to redeem the coupon. I also ordered a kale Caesar salad with chicken. The salad came out without chicken and it took a good 5-10 mins before another staff member noticed the dragonfly sign, but once he was aware, he was very prompt with bringing a side of chicken. The chicken seemed to taste a bit off to me, so I eventually ate around that. The Korean bbq ribeye rice bowl was very good and I would consider ordering that again. read more

To start with, we had a party of 11. The tacos that were ordered were tasteless and small. The brussel sprout taco is not listed as spicy. However, the taco did have some spice to it and my wife could not eat it without her mouth being on fire. The chicken tinga, chicken verde, and the sesame ribeye were dry and, again, tasteless. My son's "meal" came out first...and not complete as we had asked for the kids taco platter (don't remember what it was called) with an additional taco off the main menu. He was brought three tacos without anything else until we asked for it again...and then were charged for two orders for him of three tacos and then the kids meal. My daughter's kids cheese quesadilla was brought out so late that everyone in our party of 11 had completed their meals entirely and she sat hungry. By the time it arrived, she was no longer hungry and just upset. Water was not refilled, the waitress barely came around, and the entire party ate at different times rather than the tacos and such coming out at the same time. Horrible service, mediocre food, and too high of a price all things considered. Will NOT be coming back at all. read more

Wow! This hidden gem deserves more recognition! First walk yourself directly to the bar and look for Jio! Ask him his recommendations he will not lead you astray! My favorite : shrimp, and fish.
