    Salsa Verde + Chips
    Connie L.

    Was excited to hear Bartaco opened in Hingham since we love their Seaport location, however this location slightly misses the mark. There were issues with some of the tacos. We didn't enjoy their sesame ribeye at all. The meat was unfortunately dry, and the kimchi topping was rather flavorless. The Birria tacos are usually solid but were dry this time. I did enjoy their Salsa Roja + Chips and Pork Belly Tacos though. Those are always delicious. Ordering is easy since they let you pay individually using a QR code, however for large parties it can get a bit confusing who ordered what since they ignore the names on the orders. Would recommend the staff to mention the names on the orders when delivering as it would've saved us and them a headache.

    Meh, Bartaco Bartaco just opened in Derby Street Shops which is phenomenal for all you shopaholics. It's another location to their Seaport one. But, on a Saturday night which to my surprise was extremely busy, slow service and cold tacos. Plus when you order their "guacamole and chips" you get taco shells rather than the average Tostitos. Service was extremely slow at the bar. I had to call on a Manager to wipe down where we seating since the bartenders was shaking up some cocktails. The drinks were phenomenal and the tacos were good but cold. I will probably give them another chance maybe in the warmer weather. Cheers

    So excited to have a bartaco on the South Shore! I've been to the other Boston locations a couple times, so I made a point to give the new Higham edition a try. It's only been open for 6 weeks or so, and the place was already absolutely packed on a Saturday night. If you come here (or any of their Mass locations honestly) during a popular meal time, be prepared to wait. This place is super buzzy, and they don't accept reservations, so they're notorious for long waits. This location does allow you to join the waitlist online however. That's what we did, and we even decided to eat an early dinner around 5pm, and still spent about 35 minutes waiting with drinks at the bar. The host told us the wait can be as long as 2.5 hours (!!!) at peak times. We weren't in a rush so it was all good, and we started off with the signature "green" margaritas at the bar. This is one of my favorite cocktails they offer--their great bar menu is one of the primary things that keeps me coming back. Once we arrived at our table, we kicked things off with some chips and guac, which was fresh and flavorful (don't let the break-your-own-chips put you off). You can either order via QR code/online menu or put a card up on your table to have a server come by. Service was super fast and the team checked on us multiple times, so no complaints there! We sampled quite a few different tacos, and the highlights were definitely the pork belly, spiced chicken verde, sesame ribeye, and crispy oyster. The side esquites were another highlight - creamy and spicy and everything you want them to be! I will say that we tried the roasted duck taco for the first time, and it was a bit of a let down. Super dry and just not that exciting compared to the others. The biggest downside to bartaco is just how popular it is. But if you're not in a rush, it's a great spot for a cocktail and a plate of upscale street tacos. (The have a pretty big kids menu too!) The neighborhood could use more trendy, fun places like this, it definitely won't be my last visit!

    Custom marg! Not on the menu.

    Ben is the best bartender in all of Hingham. I have no idea what's in it but it was muddled to perfection.

    New location open in derby street ! It was definitely popping with a lot of families on this holiday Monday, dates, groups, birthdays. The space is definitely clean, setup nice and staff are great overall and nice. When we arrived around 6:30pm the wait was said to be an hour, you leave your name and number per usual, and they text you when your table is ready, you have about 5 min to come back and see the host. We spent the time roaming around the plaza shopping and checking out the other businesses! About 8pm we got the text and ran it back. We were seated promptly by the hostess, our second contact staff showed us the QR code on the table to online order, the blue flag card to notify staff you need assistance, and brought us napkins, utensils, trays, and sauces (Rojas, jalapeños, habanero). We went thru and selected the tacos of course - Baja fish - chorizo - crispy pork Also got the Duck barria, and two deserts key lime pie, and tres leches! Now our taco items came out together The Baja fish was probably the best. The chorizo wasn't dry like many places, and the crispy pork was overall good, a bit extra hard to chew thru. Must say that compared to many other spots we've had the filling to tortillas was a bit lopsided, so the portion per taco was very small. Other spots load them up for the price. The barria duck was disappointing in that it seemed to be over fried charred pretty good on the outside and the duck therefore was really dry. The deserts took quite awhile to show, figured maybe after we finish the main meal items the deserts would be brought back out. One staff member we asked about said they would check, but didn't see them again. We put the card up on the table and another member said she would check. I believe a supervisor or manager came by noticed it took about an hour to get the deserts but he made it right without us asking. The staff here overall and the ordering system is really nice. Makes things easy. I believe you can chalk this up to new opening woes, and they'll pick it up and have it running smooth from back kitchen to front of house. Every staff member was extremely nice. Would give it another go maybe in few months when they've had some more time to settle! Thank you!

    Tacos (back-front & left-right): tuna, chorizo, chicken, duck, pork belly, ribeye, oyster, shrimp, cauliflower, falafel, and baja fish

    My partner and I had been to bartaco in Seaport before and glad this location's now closer to us. We shared plantains, esquites, and 11 tacos: baja fish, glazed pork belly, sesame ribeye, pistachio cauliflower, chile-lime shrimp, spiced chicken verde, roasted duck, seared chorizo, tuna tatako, crispy oyster, and falafel - TASTE: 4/5 - started off strong w apps; the corn was super tasty, and the plantains sweet. Highlights of the tacos were the Baja fish, pork belly, and seared chorizo. The crispy oyster was prob the weakest link. Liked the hot sauce options on the table TEXTURE: 4/5 - all of the tacos were generally well balanced w tender meat, crunchy and/or saucy fillings, and soft tortillas PRICE: 4/5 - $3-5 per taco honestly wasn't bad, was expecting worse! Subtotal was $58 SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - could've ordered a few more tacos after finishing, but were still satisfied for dinner SERVICE: 5/5 - joined the waitlist 30min before arriving at 5:15pm on a Friday. The booths were filled, but plenty of tables were open and we were seated immediately. Our waiters were attentive, coming to the table shortly after we signaled them by raising our blue card, and giving us a paper menu when online ordering through the QR code on the table was giving us trouble. Apps came out 15min after ordering, and tacos were 20min after that. We got an extra taco listed on our receipt, but they corrected it and gave us tokens for a free taco, which we appreciated ATMOSPHERE: 5/5 - fun space w casual vibes, while being semi-upscale for tacos lol. Coastal decor both inside and in the coveted & heated patio PARKING: 5/5 - plenty of spots in the Derby St parking lot

    Roja salsa and chips

    Not bad, not great I went to Bartaco with a friend recently for lunch. They had a wait for tables so we sat at the bar. We each got a cocktail and started with salsa. The salsa was very good, though chips are fried whole tortillas and we didn't get enough to share with the salsa. I got a pineapple pisco drink. I asked what pisco was and the bartender had no idea. She asked the manager who also wasn't sure but said "like a brandy". I had the drink and it was very tasty. I went with the ahi tuna and crispy rice for lunch and it was very tasty. The amount of tuna was very small and could have been fresher. But the flavors were there and the seasoning good. My friend got two tacos, one she enjoyed and the other she didn't eat because the chicken was chewy. Tacos are sort of "eh". Could use some sauces or salsas or sour cream or something. They seemed small and not worth it. Overall it was okay. The location is convenient, building clean, staff friendly enough, but didn't seem like a place I'd be eager to go for dinner. Portions were small and none of the foods we ate were particularly filling.

See my separate review of this wonderful musical performance. The Scarlet Oak Tavern is situated in an historic colonial house that has a fireplace and outdoor seating. The atmosphere here is always charming, wide plank wooden floors, cozy rooms, and plenty of them, and a charming bar. The servers are always polite and smiling. I have been here many times over the years with many different people, friends and family and it is fairly consistently wonderful. I don't recall having a bad meal here ever. There is a lovely room that has a fireplace when you first enter the establishment. It is especially nice in the winter when the fire is roaring and we have a toasty drink to make everything extra cozy. However, it is equally pleasant in May! My sister and I shared several appetizers, which together constituted a delicious meal for each of us. We ordered an appetizer called Bourbon Brown Sugar BBQ Ribs that came with four very meaty flavorful ribs. We ordered two separate sides of the delicious mashed potatoes that they serve at this establishment. We also ordered one very large crab cake appetizer we ate the crabcake first. We then placed the ribs on top of the mashed potatoes with a couple of the delicious pickles that were served with the ribs. It was absolutely scrumptious. See the photo! For dessert, I ordered a flourless Flourless Chocolate Cake with crumbled peanut brittle served with a generous scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. The cake was moist and delicious with almost a rich pudding consistency inside it contrasted amazingly well with a flavorful crunchy topping of peanut brittle and a smooth cold refreshing mound of ice cream. In a word this dessert was as maddeningly delicious as it sounds. Highly recommend!

I thoroughly enjoyed the Shrimp Alla Busara...a dish that brought me back to when I was small and my uncle would prepare a similar dish. Each ingredient in the delicious sauce shined through in a beautiful way. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and almost had the taste and consistency of lobster. There was a generous slice of crusty bread which I used to sop the sauce at the end. My god it was good. Paired with a great little off the menu but on the menu side salad of fennel, orange and arugula, this was the perfect portioned meal for me. My mom had the small portion of the Vodka Radiatori which was spicy the way she likes. Jessica checked in and gave our compliments to the chef!! For dessert we had the perfectly portioned small Pistachio Cannoli. The filling was exquisite with a hint of orange which elevated the ricotta to a delectable level! This was a STELLAR meal made all the better by our server, Jessica! We arrived on the early side just after they opened so the ambiance was still rather quiet and subdued. By the time we left more tables had filled and the place was really coming to life. Highly highly recommend if you are in search of some very well prepared Italian food.

The Fermentary carries other local breweries' beer - Widowmaker, Vitamin Sea, Stellwagen, etc. They also carry all natural wines and have some snacks to munch on (the pretzel and queso are really good!). They made some nice upgrades. It seems brighter and maybe more seating. Only "negatives" we've seen are that they are very heavy on IPAs (mostly double and triples, the couple times we've been), which isn't too bad for us, because we really only drink IPAs, but if you're looking for a lager or an ale, your options might be limited. Also, they don't have cable, so if it's a local game you're trying to catch, you'll be out of luck. Notice they've had some events held there - seems like it would be a great spot for that (nice open space with fireplace and tv). This will definitely be our go-to for a laid back afternoon/early evening, quick drink or two. Definitely check it out!
