First of all 20 percent military discount ! THANK YOU. Secondly, the bathrooms were clean and they have a child changing table in the larger women's stall. The green margarita was insanely fresh, I'm not sure I've had anything like it. It was smooth, light and STRONG. I enjoyed the chile lime shrimp taco, WARNING it does have a kick. The spice catches you off guard , and the lime flutters in after. The mushroom tacos were fresh but underwhelming, only because of the flavor from the shrimp . I will visit again ! Thank you read more

Before moving to JAX, we lived in Westchester County NY, near the original Bar Taco in Port Chester. And while we loves the place for its quality food, tasty cocktails, and fun atmosphere, we approached the new branch in Jacksonville with much trepidation. What was a fun and quirky joint has grown into a massive chain and my concern that charm and quality would fall victim to a corporate approach. Fortunately that was not the case. The food is better than ever, the cocktails are crafted from fresh ingredients, and the vibe and service remain outstanding. We were greeted by manager LeVar, a super friendly guy who moved from Bar Taco in Atlanta to be a part of the team in JAX. He made us fell at home and shared some recommendations regarding the various cocktails. He was so genuine and happy to hear that we were enjoying our meal, taking great pride in both the food and service. For cocktails, we tried several, and they were all outstanding: the citrus in every drink at Bar Taco uses freshly squeezed juice and you can taste the difference. The food was outstanding, even better than at the original. The tacos are very small (2-3 bites each), which is fun so you can mix and match. We got the fried oyster, ribeye, duck (incredible), fish, and chile-lime shrimp (spicy). All were 10 out of 10. We also ordered two delicious sides: spicy cucumbers (amazing in a complex citrus vinaigrette) and the corn equates. I cannot wait to return, which will be in 2 days! read more

Eh, bartaco was a disappointment, and I won't rush back anytime soon. It's SO PRETTY. Love the decor & style. However that's it for compliments. The tacos are tiny- literally 2 bites. All the food was underwhelming. I got the ceviche, which seemed like it needed more time to cure, and a mushroom taco which was tasty (i think? Hard to say since it was 2 bites). I also ordered a margarita and it was awful. Tasted like sour ocean water. Such a bummer cuz I snuck out of work early on a friday and was excited for some day drinking, but instead I barely finished my marg. If i go back I'll try a bowl, they looked like a good amount of food, and just stick to beer. read more

If you haven't been to Bartaco. You need to hurry up and go soon. Today was my first time trying them, and I must say they did not disappoint. We had the Retro Pork Pastor Taco, roasted duck taco, Summer duo tacos, pork belly tacos, the duck taco, lobster esquites and the Ahi Tuna crispy rice bowl, along with a watermelon Mint Margarita, and a tequila old fashion. None of the dishes disappointed. Everything was great, tasteful, and the portions were not too big. Our waiter Emily was very knowledgeable and sweet and made great recommendations as well. The restaurant is very spacious, great for day drinking, lunch, dinner or just to eat. I will definitely be going back. read more

Well I gotta say, I really didn't want to like this place. The last thing I thought we needed was another taco spot in Riverside, but boy was I WRONG!! BarTaco exceeded my expectations in every way. Let's start with the venue, it's gorgeous!! The esthetic is beautiful with lots of wood and greenery throughout the dining room. Now onto the menu. The prices were surprisingly affordable with all tacos under $4. My husband loved each taco he ordered with his favorite being the pork belly. We shared the esquites which were very well spiced and were both creamy and salty in a great way. I ordered the ahi tuna + crispy rice, and it was PHENOMENAL! This is the type of dish I will be dreaming of for weeks to come! On top of the beautiful venue, delicious and affordable food, the service was exceptional. Our waiter Jimmy was attentive and such a sweetheart. We were even visited by the GM who gave us the cutest free taco coins! Val from corporate made our visit wonderful with his kindness and warm personality. Needless to say, we will definitely be back once they begin happy hour at their soon to open rooftop bar!! Bonus points: They offer military discount! read more

Was visiting from out of state. Was looking for something quick and close to downtown. Was very pleased with everything. Had the carne tacos with a slice of lime which really highlighted the taste. Bartender was great and service was too. Would highly recommend. They have a bar downstairs and a rooftop far. Parking is good too. They have a nice outdoor and indoor sitting area. read more

Had a great first visit and was very impressed by the beautiful decor, friendly service, and delicious food. My friend and I started our visit with delicious mocktails. I really enjoyed the limeade, very sour but well balanced with sweetness. We wanted to try out a few things so we opted for the sampler. My favorite was the bowl of street corn and the guacamole. For my meal I ordered the ceviche and two tacos. The ceviche was okay, not very impressed as I just didn't find it to be very flavorful and the portion size felt small. My tacos were tasty, my favorite was the chicken taco. Bartaco was enjoyable and I am looking forward to explore more options here. I think the most enjoyable thing about Bartaco besides the food is the environment. The restaurant has a great vibe and an added bonus is the rooftop. It's a great spot for delicious food, drinks at the bar, and more. read more

The inside was very hipster and cute. Guacamole was tasty. Margarita hit the spot. I did not take pictures of the tacos but the three I got were good, but small. Only 2-3 bites per taco. Lots of parking nearby but can get busy very quickly especially on a weekend read more

Very nice ambiance in this spot! They have a cool happy hour and the drinks were refreshing and packed a good punch with the alcohol. We ordered the pork belly, rib eye taco, chicken flautas and the shrimp. All were very very tasty. Then we proceeded to the patio area which is beautiful and makes you feel like you are on vacation. The employees are very kind andd accommodating. They make sure you are not sitting for a long time. It gets packed pretty quickly. They have outside seating as well. I will definitely be back for another visit. read more

The vibe of this place is super cool. Came in on Friday night and wasn't too busy just past happy hour. Got a table and our server explained menu and ordering process. Everything is a la cart and the prices are pretty reasonable on food. The cocktails felt a bit pricey but what I ordered was good. The food came out super fast. read more

First of all, beautiful restaurant! The aesthetic gives very romantic, light, airy, fresh, beachy vibes. The rooftop views are wonderful and is a great place to wait to be seated while sipping on my cocktail. Once seated, I loved the cute ensemble of comfortable seating with pillows on one side of the table and chairs on the other. For starters, a group of us had an appetizer sampler which had guac and chips, esquites (basically Mexican corn or elote that is not on the cob), plantains, and cucumber salad. As someone who lowers her standards when seeing Mexican food served from non ma and pop restaurants, I was genuinely pleasantly and surprised that this chain served really good food. Bartaco's guac was spot on delicious! The plantains had a nice crisp from the sugar on the outside and perfect banana texture on the inside. The corn or esquites had a bit of a kick to it which I did not expect and thoroughly enjoyed! The tacos I ordered were: Roasted duck Ahi Tuna Baja fish Crispy oyster - they ran out. Kids steak quesadillas All were very delicious! The roasted duck was so flavorful and juicy. The Baja fish was fried so nicely with good, crispy batter. The ahi tuna only came with lettuce instead of tortilla but this was soaked in some form of soy sauce mixture and was also very delicious. Kids steak quesadillas made me so happy. I needed something with cheese and the steak was so juicy and tender that it just completed my whole meal. I dipped the quesadillas in the cilantro sauce that came with the sampler and it was ten times better! The downside was the serving size. Our server gave us a heads up which is very much appreciated. Each taco entailed 2-3 bites and it's $3-5 per taco. It's very misleading because the menu says "family style" and my mind immediately veers to huge portions for sharing. This is not my idea of family style. What really happens is they bring everyone's food out at once... you don't have your own individual plate served to you but instead your food might be served with someone else's order on a tray and it's up to you to figure out which taco is yours from all the trays coming out. Not my favorite thing here because I don't know how to identify what I ordered. Nevertheless, when surrounded by good company you just laugh off the confusion when you accidentally steal someone's taco and move on about your day. The vibe was great. Server was very kind. Food was awesome. Thanks Bartaco! read more

Laid back casual restaurant here in riverside. Although tacos were smaller than typical tacos, they tasted really good and fresh. We tried chicken verde, pork belly, fish and sesame beef ribeye. Can't decide which one is the best. Good find in this area if you want quick, light bite. read more

The vibes and atmosphere were absolutely on point--great music, stylish decor, and a lively crowd made for a fun night out. The drinks were fantastic too, well-crafted and full of flavor. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite match the energy. While it looked appealing, the flavors fell flat and left us a bit underwhelmed. Still, it's a solid spot if you're going for the ambiance and cocktails more than the cuisine read more

We sat upstairs on the roof and started with some drinks, chips & salsa, and ceviche. All were very tasty.

This place was absolutely packed when we walked in, definitely a popular spot! They don't take reservations, but you can call ahead, which helps. Giving beachy, laid-back vibes. We ordered a bunch of tacos (all delicious), plus margaritas and guacamole to start. The guac was the best surprise of the night, mildly spicy full of flavor, which is rare! Most places tone it down, and I usually have to add my own heat, but this was bold and delicious right out of the bowl. Hands down the best guacamole I've had at any restaurant in Jacksonville. Prices are mid- to high-range, we spent just under $100 for two people including tip for everything, which felt reasonable for the quality and experience. Definitely recommend! read more

I visited this upscale-looking Mexican restaurant expecting a pleasant dining experience, but unfortunately, it missed the mark on multiple fronts. Instead of having the friendly server take our order, we had to either fill out a paper checklist or navigate a QR code menu, which turned out to be confusing and not user-friendly. We even needed the friendly staff help just to find the Paloma. On top of that, there was no way to indicate who ordered what, so all the food just arrived family-style, leaving us to sort through each other's dishes. It's hard to keep track after the gentleman who delivered the food to us pointed out numerous tacos. I didn't think I would have to play a memorization game for our food. For such a nice place, that felt pretty low-effort. Jimmy John's and other casual places have figured this out with their online ordering. The final straw was being asked to enter my credit card details in the app for a hold before we even got our food, and then being prompted for an 18% gratuity for minimal service. All in all, it just wasn't the upscale experience we expected, and I wouldn't recommend it. I do not want to be on my phone to enter my credit card information. I do not want to fiddle with QR code menus to order my food. There are several other Mexican places within walking distance we will support instead. read more

Stopped in for lunch and drinks and was not disappointed. Great looking restaurant with a lot of cool decoration on the inside. Are server was very knowledgeable about the menu and was very attentive to my girlfriend's food allergy and make sure to separate our tacos. The drinks were freshly made and definitely delivered a spicy kick. The next time I am in the mood for tacos I will stop in and try some of the other great looking options on the menu. read more

Great experience! I have been to Bartaco in Tampa but was a first timer to the new Jacksonville location. Came with a group for lunch today and had a great experience. First, it is absolutely beautifully decorated with lots of seating indoor and outdoor on a covered patio. Our server was great and very attentive as well as helpful and thorough explaining the menu. We started with the trio which was two salsas and guacamole and the guac was outstanding. It tastes freshly made and the tortillas were perfect for dipping. Salsa was excellent as well and offered a mild and spicier option. Our group tried a lot of different menu items and enjoyed them all. One of our friends even said this is her new favorite restaurant. Great experience and we will be back! read more

Bartaco was 11/10! The ambiance was a laidback but upscale, without breaking the bank! My best friend and I went in on a rainy day and enjoyed their specials, margaritas, and their tacos, all of which I would highly recommend. A stand out taco for me was the Roasted Duck Taco. You. Have. To. Get. It! We sat at the bar and had amazing service from the ladies working behind the bar. Most definitely recommend this place for a great spot to eat in Jax, FL. read more

I'm not even kidding when I say I would die for Bar Taco. It is infinitely better than most chains. I've been to several locations and have found its food is consistent, it curates a great vibe, and it's super quick and convenient with its QR code ordering system. And my GOD this location takes the cake on the best one I've been to. Just when I thought that Bar Taco couldn't get any better, it proved me wrong. This location had even better food than others I've been to (which were already delicious), the service was unbeatable with an even quicker turnaround in ordering than usual, and our server Wade was amazing. He was unbelievably nice, super personable with great conversation, and very attentive! Couldn't recommend this place enough for a fun night eating out with friends, family, or a date night with your partner! read more

Our server, Liz, was wonderful! She was very sweet and checked in with us often! The chicken tinga tacos and guac were great, and so was the pomegranate lemonade! We will be back! read more

We had no idea what to expect on our first visit, but we were taken back by the beautiful restaurant and the friendly staff immediately when we walked in. I will say that the ordering was a little overwhelming, but the food was phenomenal. I would suggest trying multiple tacos but start with the oyster if you're a fan of those and the glazed pork belly. They were amazing. I tried all the dips and we had the Mexican street corn off which went amazing as a dip with chips. If you have been debating on trying Bartaco out....just do it. We have suggested it to our friends and they all love it read more

First time being at this location, since it was formally known as black sheep. Went on a little date outing for some lunch and I had to say the ambience and obviously location is great. Now keep in mind. This is Saturday and we were still able to get a parking space due to how saturated this area can be. Our waitress and service was amazing! We started off with cocktail drinks, which staff gave amazing recommendations. Depending on your taste in my opinion, you can't go wrong. Appetizers came out quick and hot! At this point, the conversation, the food and the drinks were all amazing! Bar taco has a great variety of different flavors for tacos, but the sides and even for me the salsa and chips were amazing! Everything is easy to share and it's just a nice relaxing atmosphere. Make sure to check out the roof rooftop! Keep in mind rooftop has separate menu items! Unfortunately, we did have a little bump in the road when our main entree/food was 45 to 15 minutes late coming to the table and really cold. When we brought our issue to our waitress, she handled it very professionally and relayed to their manager Ryan. And this people is what can make and break a restaurant especially a recently newer restaurant. The manager, Ryan was very kind to come and address the issue and take accountability for it being late to our table after multiple request. Even took it further as to cover our whole tab, though I insisted I at least pay for the things that did come out on time. He show amazing professionalism and was very personable. It's a great reflection on not only him, but the people he hired that were amazing! Though this was a mid step that can happen at any restaurant, the staff handled it perfect and made me want to come again, hopefully this time food comes out on time, but I believe in second chances and being reasonable because we're all human! Thank you, Ryan, and your staff for treating me and my date with such grace and taking care of us will definitely be back! read more

So vibes awesome good tasty but service experience needs work. When we say we were told by someone who said she wasn't our server that we had to order on their qr system and out in cc and all they would bring it out. The table next to us had cards and pencils to circle what they wanted on their Menu. I asked what they were doing and she stated we could do that and brought it over. We ordered and waited all of one persons food came out and then all of the others. The trip was good quac amazing. The chicken tortilla soup and half chicken were good also. I got the duck birria and plantains and pineapple all tasty but to charge 4$ for 5 prices of pineapple with tajin is interesting. Food was good and they checked on us often. They seemed fixated on pulling plates and maybe cause they bring so many and the tables are small but we had to tell Them multiple times we were still eating. When I have been to other bar tacos I have always had a server to help and take our order. This is what I prefer. I think it could be amazing but needs so service links worked out. You don't just go out for food you go out for the whole experience. read more

Delicious tacos cute decor , love the match sticks our server was very nice wish they had Bacardi

The food here is so yummy but the drinks are weak. You pay $12-15 and $100 later you feel as if all you drank was lemon juice and soda water. We didn't come to get nasty but we came to have a fun happy hour. We ordered the same drink all night and each one came out weaker and more sour than the next. Good for food: taco options and ceviche were delicious. It's just not a great spot for drinks only; not worth the price. read more

Tried the duck taco and was pleasantly surprised; absolutely delicious and definitely recommend it! Our server was fantastic, super helpful in guiding my order and even turned the agua fresca into a cocktail for me.

We were so impressed with our visit to bartaco today!! Our server Lizz did an amazing job of coaching us as first dash timers on things not to miss; all the tacos we got were amazingly delicious, but there were a couple other side dishes we wanted to add. Her recommendation of the esquites (street corn off the cob) and the crispy rice ahi were fantastic recommendations!! All 8 taco varieties we got disappeared! The ahi was the best I've had--NO fat or sinew, but easy to cut with a fork because it was so tender. Luz's's delightful, cheerful, helpful manner really was a cherry on top of our dining enjoyment!! The decor was fun & interesting and added to the chill vibe. read more

We dined in for dinner last night. There was no wait and we were seated immediately. There is a designated server but all ordering is done via QR code on your phone then the food is brought over by the wait staff. I enjoyed a classic margarita with salt, mushroom and a falafel taco then we split churros for dessert. The food for the table comes out at all different times which was challenging for a group and the tacos are pretty small but we enjoyed everything we had to eat and thought the service was great. read more

This is a very cutesy vibe taco spot in Riverside. We were eating light so we went in to try a few of the taco options and some cocktails. Everything is surely made fresh here and you can definitely taste the quality in the food and drinks! They are street tacos, so they are on the smaller side on corn tortillas and offered a la carte. We tried their spiced chicken verde, Baja fish, chile lime shrimp and sesame ribeye. All had great flavor. The fish taco was my favorite. You order your food through a QR code at your table and pay the tab that way. Very convenient. Service that we needed was great as well. The drinks were veryyyy fresh and I loved that.

Such a charming spot with fantastic service and tasty food! The music sets the perfect vibe, almost like a Hampton Social restaurant vibe--totally laid-back yet trendy. The ordering system is a fun twist: you order and pay through a QR code at your table, then enter your card details when you're ready to place the order (server is still visible if you have any questions or need anything). Not your typical dine-in experience, but definitely refreshing! The outdoor seating area is cute and cozy, with about eight tables that seat 2-4 people. Plus, they're opening a rooftop in March--can't wait to check it out! Overall, a great experience and I'll definitely be back! read more
