Bartaco - Mezcal - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Port Chester, New York

It's "Bar" and "Taco". As tacos go, they're good. I'm not sure what "great" would mean for a taco, but they're good. A step above fast food and a step below something exquisite. Basically, they're fine. Now, as for the "bar" portion of the place, the drinks are horrific. I'm not saying this to be dramatic or sensational: they are about the worst pours of alcohol I've ever had. There's virtually no alcohol in the drinks, whatsoever. On what planet do you have half dozen drinks and get no buzz at all? For what they are charging, they need to do better. The drinks are laughably weak. Will I ever order from there again? Maybe. Will I ever sit down there and let them overcharge me for drinks: not a chance in hell. read more

We went with some old new friends on a very busy Saturday night. Yes there was a wait, but that is to be expected. Service was excellent, my water glass never went dry! Food was delicious and high-quality. Ambience was fine. Busy and loud on a Saturday night, like many places, but we were thrilled to be able to eat outdoors with a scenic view of the river. Can't wait to go back on a weekday and enjoy another meal! read more

Love this place!! Ambiance is very modern and trendy, catered towards young adults I would say. Very hard to get a table for dinner especially on Friday or Saturday nights. You can't make a reservation ahead of time, instead you go and put your name down with the hostess and they text you when a table is ready. I've waited for up to 1.5h before, but honestly I would say it's always worth the wait! This has been me and my friends go-to place since high school, and i still love it! They have other locations in Stamford and Westport which are the same. Very big menu, you order through a QR code on the table, and service is very fast. Everyone there has been so friendly and accommodating. My favorites are the street corn, duck taco, birria tacos, and the classic baja fish taco. You can't go wrong here everything is amazing! read more

Bartaco - assorted tacos - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Port Chester, New York

Food is a solid 10/10! Everything was so yummy. Highly recommend the shrimp and pork belly tacos. Also their guacamole is delicious -- recommend ordering one to share for the table. Spicy margarita was not spicy at all for me but still yummy. The wait time for the food was long but service and ambiance was great. read more

Yes yes and more yes. I love this consistency from each location. There was some confusion towards the end of our dining experience this round (3 drinks missed, 6-8 tacos never came) read more

Ah yes, taco's with a side of pretentious! The food is good, though there are so many places just as good or better in town. But the prices, wait times, and gimmicks is just too much. While the inside of the restaurant is nice, if you care about such things. But outside you get a "view" of the Byram river, which maybe Bartco thinks is a glorious beautiful thing and that's why the try and extort folks for a mushroom taco? read more

Ordered takeout. They texted me 35 mins. later for pickup. The taco were cold and tasteless. A waste of money. It is a very loud, chaotic atmosphere. It seems very unorganized. read more

From the food and drinks to the staff and everything in between, Bartaco has been consistently top-notch. The vibe is always great--welcoming and full of good energy. The managers, bartenders, and servers are very attentive and personable, and the new happy hour has been a fantastic addition--definitely one of the reasons I find myself there so often. Easily one of the best happy hours in the area. Shoutout to the entire team at Bartaco! read more

Wow! True authentic Mexican cuisine. Try every Taco, and the tortilla soup. Fantastic service at the bar by Chris. He's an animal!! Perfect cocktails, attentive service and wonderful sense of humor during an extremely busy Sat. afternoon. Jesse the bar mgr. is also fantastic. All in all just a fabulous place to spend a Saturday afternoon. They have outdoor seating for the upcoming Spring and Summer. read more

LOVE BAR TACO. I have literally eatten at two three times in one week. This is one of my favorite comfort food, night out and just cause places. They also in my opinion service THE best margaritas. Ask for a sugar rim next time you get one! read more

Bartaco - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Port Chester, New York

My second time coming here and it was absolutely delicious again! Definitely join the waitlist online because it does get pretty packed. You can order and pay right on your phone which was a nice and easy process. There's music playing creating a lively atmosphere so note that it is quite loud. We got the duck birria, baja fish taco, crispy oyster taco, and shrimp taco. Everything was incredible but the baja fish taco was a standout with its delicious sauces. Would definitely come back! read more

Hey bartaco NY! It's been 2 years since I wrote a review (I've been back a gazillion times) but this time I finally remembered to take a picture of the beautiful view...water, boats, just sooo relaxing. What is a beautiful view w/o my favorite tacos?!?! And I'm sooo happy the lobster taco is back on the menu...I want to try the lobster ceviche next visit. read more

Bartaco - When the weather is just right, enjoy your tacos on the outdoor patio right next to the water and boats! - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Port Chester, New York

Great service, super packed on Friday night but they were very accommodating. Back covered porch is a great added space but gets very chilly (heat lamps warm your head but the extremities are on their own) Bit of a club vibe on the weekends, they bring in a Dj, too loud for my almost 40 year old ears but others seemed to enjoy it. Food comes out freakishly fast and is pretty spot on! read more

This place never disappoints me let it be in Virginia or CT. I love the food, the vibe and the service. It is always spot on! It is a very busy place specially on Fri-Sat and what I love about it is that you could call and put your name on waitlist and be there 30 mins after. We sat at the bar while waiting for the table and our bartender Iutik made a perfect Oaxacan Sunshine drink for us. I love cocktails that are on a sweet side and he did amazing job on recommending and making this drink. For apps Panachos and cucumber salad both were delicious. Got assorted tacos and none disappointed me. Corn off the cob was alright. I have eaten better than that. We were seated outside patio seating and was great but the seats can get uncomfortable for long hours. Did I mention Tres Leches is a must try! Overall had a great time. The music was amazing (can get loud) and loved the overall vibe! read more

Love the outdoor area in the back, such a great vibe in the summer. Situated right on the water, great for boat watching, a nice summer dining experience all together. The margaritas are delicious and the food is nice and light making it a great spot for summer time drinks/apps. The fish tacos are my favorite and the lobster tacos (Both warm and cold ones) are also delicious. Ceviche was good but the spicy cucumber salad and cilantro lime shrimp tacos were just OK. Also tried the roasted duck taco which was ok but had a hint of sweetness which I personally don't love. But overall, a place I love for the warmer months. read more

I called and was put on the waitlist. Told it would be 20 minutes. When I arrived 20 minutes later, I was told another 35 minutes. The whole point of a waitlist is for them to hold a table for you. Left and went to eat around the corner which was much better read more

This place never misses. I have been coming here for 5 years now and am never disappointed. My must try favorites are the guacamole and the pork belly tacos. The Baja fish are also delectable. read more

Bartaco - Baja fish taco and falafel - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Port Chester, New York

Came here for a drink and a bite to eat with my friend. We found a spot right in front of the restaurant which was nice. It was a couple minutes before 12am. It's a good size on the inside, the layout makes sense based on the size of the place. It was quiet a few people at the bar and at tables. I went to the bar. My bartender Mackenzie was nice, funny and personable. We asked for food she went to check and said the kitchen is closing so we couldn't order unfortunately. The kitchen kind of closes based on management discretion. She did get us some beers and was able to get us some salsa and chips. Thankfully, which we definitely appreciated after a long night of drinking. I've been to two of their locations including this one. I would come back. Bartaco is a little pricey in my option for the quantity you get, but their margaritas regular tacos and birria tacos are delicious though. I would recommend coming here, just come earlier so you can try their food. read more

Had dinner for the first time at Bartaco in Port Chester to celebrate a high school graduation last night. Great experience and food. Big shout out to the staff especially the managers Brianna and Oscar and our server Vanessa. All 6 of us in the party said we would definitely be back for more. read more

(From Fall '23) This is my first time here. The host and wait staff are really friendly. The outdoor patio is large & inviting with a nautical style pit area and an outdoor bar. You can sit along the rail where you can see the boats traveling through the channel. The manager, Chad, was also very friendly. The problem is that I had to find out because the bar staff is messy. Literally. It was impossible to find a clean spot to sit & none of the FOUR bartenders who had a total of TWO customers at the bar could be bothered to wipe the bar down, even when I remarked aloud about the dirty bar. Their hands were comfortably stashed in their pockets. So even though we would have saved money by sitting at the bar for happy hour, I opted to sit on the deck for full price in the hopes of salvaging the experience. No, I'm not wealthy. But that's how turned off I was by the bar situation. I even questioned whether I should order a drink. Which brings me to a whole 'nother issue that I'll skip over since the manager did what he could to make things right. The only thing is that it wasn't offered to me. I had to negotiate for it. All this makes me wonder whether this place is more geared toward a party crowd than a dining clientele. Speaking of dining, Chad made excellent taco suggestions. The shrimp taco was tasty,l & spicy but not overwhelming. The Baja fish taco had a nice sized lightly crispy filling. The pork belly taco was addictively well-balanced between savory and sweet. The kitchen staff is killing it! They are the real MVPs. It wasn't a great overall experience, and we had to wait a good while before even getting our food order in. At least the kitchen was fast. I'd give it another chance only because of the manager. Yeah, the good was great. But this is NY. There are a lot of great food options. You go out for the full experience. read more

Always a great time here. Great testing food and the best margaritas I've ever had. Also wonderful service. The manager is great, she always make sure customers are happy and very attentive. Great service and great restaurant. read more

This is a fun, casual restaurant with good food. Love the vibe and that it has indoor and outdoor seating. I think they winterize the outdoor season when needed. The food is good, but is fun and inexpensive. Three of us went yesterday for lunch. We split Guac and Kale Chips. The Guac was about average. Kale Chips had great spice on them but were a bit chewy. Tacos were good with Bibb Tuna and the Pulpo special very good. Although the food is not great, it is good, prices are great and the vibe is so fun. Service was good. read more

the food is amazing. the taste combinations are perfect. the corn is amazing we love this place and have never had a bad meal. our bill is usually $80, so you know we are ordering a lot cuz everything is delicious! read more

Bar taco is one of my favorite places in Westchester. The food is always so good. From their appetizers to their deserts, this place never disappoints. Their tres leche cake tastes like abuelas cake!! The drinks are strong and delicious as well. It's nice to sit outside during the summertime. Ciana our waitress today went out of her way for her way for us, giving us a 10/10 experience. I will always recommend this place to others, it's that good ! read more

I would say this place is 3.5 stars. This restaurant has a mix of its hits and misses. The ambiance is very trendy and modern. Some margaritas were better than the others and my personal favorite was their spicy margarita. I found it to be very cool for their bottom shelf tequila they use their own personal house made brand, and it was quite good for a well drink. I like the concept of ordering food especially with a bigger group, you write on the menu what you want and how much. My two favorite menu items I had while I was there was the duck bierra and the guacamole and chips both of these were excellent. The pork belly bowl was okay and the tacos leave little to be desired. The churros also looked better online than what they were in reality. Service was also pretty slow for a Monday night dinner, the place didn't seem overly packed and it took awhile for our food, dessert and the check to come out. I won't go out of my way to come here again especially because I don't live too close but I also wouldn't reject it if a friend says they want to go here for dinner. read more

Food: 8/10 They had a wide variety of tacos to choose from. I enjoyed the lobster tacos the most. I wish I had gotten some guidance on what was best tacos - they had sauce at table that when you put on added a lot of flavor. Service: 7/10 It's one of the restaurants where you scan a qr code and order online instead of through a server. This did make ordering quickly and getting our food easier, but I'm not really a fan of that kinda service. I felt weird tipping 20%...(so I didn't) Ambiance - 8/10 It was pretty crowded with the copa going in at bar. Our table was super short tho. Like my knees were at the top of the table short- I felt kinda goofy the whole dinner, but I think we just got unlucky with table. All in all, enjoyed the dinner. It was one of only restaurants open late so was definitely our best option. read more

Cute spot with great food. I love that you can order single taco or side in every order so you can taste everything. Drinks looked nice and the service was quite peppy. Definitely recommend read more

On 12/19/2024, around 8 PM, my friends and I began our 45-minute wait, excited to enjoy the food and drinks Bartaco is known for; that changed fairly quickly. While waiting, a friend and I decided to grab a drink at the bar. After waiting for 15 minutes to be attended to, I--22 years old with a valid license--was told by the bartender, "I cannot accept this," regarding my very real ID. Another member of our party experienced a similar issue, but when she asked to speak with a manager, her ID was approved. I then approached the manager myself, explaining the situation and showing him a photo of my passport for additional verification. His response was shockingly rude. He dismissed my ID as "sketchy" and claimed it "raises a lot of red flags." When I offered to show my passport photo as further proof, he curtly replied, "I have the right to refuse you, and that is EXACTLY what I am doing," in the most condescending tone imaginable. I am generally easygoing and avoid conflict, but this behavior was completely uncalled for. The lack of professionalism and blatant disrespect from the manager left a sour taste and ruined the experience. read more

Food was delicious!!! But I'm assuming it was the floor manager (white older man not in uniform) he kept circling around our table and standing leaning on the back of our booth which made it very uncomfortable. I also requested a margarita with vodka which I do every time. He marched over said let me see your phone which was very uncomfortable to begin with and told me I need to do a bunch of other steps if I want to order a drink. Prior to him coming over the table he canceled my original drink order 10 minutes after I ordered it and made me re-order it putting me at the bottom of the list and I needed to wait another 15 minutes for my drink to arrive. The way he spoke was very condescending and made the entire table uncomfortable. read more

We got takeout because we had our dogs with us and the staff was so nice and helpful. We were staying only a few minutes away and so everything stayed fairly hot and was delicious. Next time, I hope that we can eat there because the restaurant is really cool inside. read more

Pros: This is a great spot to meet with friends or go on a date. Your meal can be a quick 20 minutes or longer if you're having a good time. The view is great. Definitely grab a seat outside. The oyster taco is the money taco. I started with one and ended up ordering two more after. The plan next time is to get three oyster tacos plus a shrimp taco. Parking is free just outside the restaurant. Cons: The payment system can take some getting used to if you haven't used it before. Since the tacos are served family style; it would be more convenient if individual plates were given so that the food didn't have to be eaten on napkins. The tacos are also small for the price. read more

Cool place. Good food. Cold beer. Great staff. Had a few different tacos including crispy pork belly, tuna and spicy chicken. All we're delicious. The guac was very good. I didn't care for the red salsa... not sure what it was.. maybe too much cumin for me. I'd definitely go back for the tuna tacos. read more

Super fun, lively spot! Vegetarian delight! I had street corn which was perfect & a little spicy, 3 tacos -Portobello, Brussels sprouts & cauliflower-all @dressed differently & super tasty. The cauliflower taco had a bit of a smoky flavoring. My husband had cerviche which he said was "exceptional"! and three tacos- shrimp, fish & oyster. He said they were great but didn't thrill him. Margaritas were fresh & tasty, they squeeze all their own bar juices so margaritas have nice fresh lime flavor. We sat in bar area in a Sunday night &!it was very busy! You order in your phone, like ordering to-go. read more

Always great! We stopped in for lunch the other day and we already want to go back! We started with the duck birria ... AMAZING! We then got a few different tacos, duck, chicken, pork belly, sesame ribeye and a lobster taco (the secret taco). They were all great, fresh and tasty, but the stars of the show were the lobster and the pork belly, DELICIOUS! We also got a margarita and a lemon drop martini, again, perfection! read more

This place is the best! Pulled the boat right up and myself, my service dog and my friend were all warmly welcomed. Food was smashing, drinks were perfect, views and vibes were incredible and most importantly the manager Molly is a herooooooooo!!! She fixed a small boating injury better than an ER nurse. Cant Thank Molly enough! Bartaco for the win for quality food, great views, and incredible staff! read more

Finally made it out to Bartaco last night after hearing my friends rave about this place for months. They do not take reservations which sucks but you can be added to the waitlist in advance of arriving. We ended up having to wait about an hour to be seated on a busy Saturday night. I ordered the fish taco, ancho-braised beef taco and the corn (off the cob). Everything tasted super great and I especially loved the corn. Great restaurant to enjoy the last bit of summer! read more

First time here. Wanted to love this place but couldn't. Only thing I really liked out of my order was the street corn. Ordered shrimp tacos, super spicy. My coffee had food in it, which disgusted me and ruined my appetite. It was insanely packed on a Monday. Service was ok. Our table was left uncleaned for a while. Dessert took an hour to come out. Order ice cream cones and churros lol. read more
