Great Service + Fun atmosphere + Unique / Quality Food selections = Outstanding! Will return!

Super cute place, great for a solo food run. Tacos are really good but super tiny. Start off with three. Pork Belly is my fav and a recommended fav from a server as well. The drinks are also really good. I tried a seasonal drink that is no longer on the menu but the others I've tried on the menu are good as well. I will say, the drinks are a bit pricey for the price of around $15 per drink but the taste makes up for it. read more

Bartaco - Tacos Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

The service is sooo kind and welcoming definitely will come back & delicious appetizers options too

The food is pretty good. There is a large selection and the mixing and matching of tacos was nice. They however push you towards and electronic menu. Seems good, they also want your phone number as part of that "for verification" where I can only assume to sale it. That got them three stars from me. Paper menu is an option too, which we took. read more

My boyfriend and I sat outside. The place has a wonderful atmosphere- it's laid back and fun, but still feels classy. The food was great too! I especially like the system of smaller portions for a lower price rather than one big meal--kind of like tapas. I can see how the ordering system could cause problems for older people or people with certain disabilities though. I hope there is an alternate ordering system in place in case the website/app fails or a patron is unable to use it. The service was good too. I would definitely recommend! read more

So finally bartaco has made it to North Hills. I frequented the Tampa location on numerous occasions when I lived down in Florida. When bartaco opened in Chapel Hill, I was super excited. And now that bartaco has opened in my 'hood known as North Hills I was stoked! If you never been to a bartaco, I would suggest going with a group of close friends. That way you can sample the wide array of tacos and not tacos choices. I truly enjoy all the tacos but the tacos that I always order are the glazed pork belly, Baja Fish, and cauliflower. For the Not Tacos I love the pork tamale. I typically don't get the rice bowls since they never fill me up. And of course the most important part of the meal....the drinks!! You can't go wrong with the bartaco margarita! Just order two off the bat since their pretty small lol. The location of this bartaco is right next to Mura Sushi and the do have street parking there. Do yourself a favor and just go to the basement parking deck. read more

Bartaco - Follow the arrow for good eats and great atmosphere! - Tacos Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

It is a fun place with great ambience. Margaritas were fresh, not from mixer. Food was good, tacos are street style so they are small, I ordered 3 but 4 would have been better! Favorite was pork belly which had great flavor. Fish was good too- light and crispy. Falafel had good flavor but a bit dry. Also ordered chips/salsa which was delish but needed more chips compared to amount of salsa. read more

Taking COVID very seriously from what I could see. We sat out on the patio and all ordering/paying is done from your phone which I really liked. No one is hovering at your table, only to drop off the items you've ordered. Staff was all wearing masks correctly and there were several hand sanitizing stations around. We ordered drinks and an app, everything we ordered was very good but I highly recommend my drink. I think it's called Smoke on the water, VERY good!! read more

Here's the thing about BarTaco. They know exactly what they're doing when it comes to flavor profiles. Don't question it. Just dive in. You order tacos or something else on the menu that has a very minimal description and you write down your allergies at the bottom of your order form so they don't give you something that will cause you to die. This place is the antidote for picky eaters because THEY WON'T KNOW WHAT'S ON THE TACO (besides the main meat/filling) UNTIL IT COMES OUT. You just have to trust them. And it's glorious. The pork belly tacos are my favorite. Their guacamole is out of this world. All of their cocktails are amazing. Definitely go. And do call ahead seating if you're going for dinner because they don't take reservations. OR go for lunch. read more

Bartaco is DELICIOUS. Don't come here if you're wanting to eat traditional tacos - this is where you go when you're wanting something out of the norm that will be amazing. Definitely recommend coming here, you won't regret it. read more

Paying a price premium for DIY tacos? Not my idea of a good time. Flavors are lacking anyway.

Food was great and the ambiance was nice. Highly recommend the 1/2 chicken entree for dinner.

The tacos are consistently over fried. My fish ones today were hard as a rock. Brussels and pork based ones are much better. Sauces are good. It's why you'd expect from a typical bougie taco place. read more

This one is waaaaaaaaaaay better than the chapel hill location. I think with the movie theater being next to the chapel hill location hurt them rather than help them. They get so swamped they send out whatever and like I said in my last review of BarTaco chapel hill is not well staffed ever. Buuuuuut way different quality at the North Hills location! The GM, Bryan, is awesome, friendly and just an all around cool dude! All the other staff is super nice as well, and the pork belly tacos tasted amazing! read more

The tacos are delicious! The soup was good too. I enjoyed the vege taco and the tuna taco more than the meat ones, to my surprise. The kids men u was great, I think kids just love the tortilla wrap. read more

I liked coming here for lunch although with COVID, ordering was a bit challenging with an app that was hard to maneuver, but that's because I'm OVER 30 and then some. I got like 4 different tacos and they were all tasty -the chicken and the shrimp one were the best. It does get over crowded here, but the our poor city has been inundated with people moving here from Mars. Dinner here seems fun with a date or a mate. read more

Bartaco has some of the best tacos I've ever had. The pork belly and Baja fish are my favorites. I don't the corn or the mojito. The decor is beautiful. The restaurant can be understaffed because they had everyone order at the table on mobile phone so the servers were just bringing you the food and drinks. read more

Bartaco - Pork belly taco Baja Fish Taco - Tacos Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Atmosphere is so warm and cozy. Staff are super inviting and extra helpful. Our first visit was great! Our waitress was very sweet and took the time to show us how to order on their system. It's all done through your phone. Once we got the hang of it, it was easy. The food was great! Group of 4 and we ordered just about every taco on the menu. Personal favorite was the tuna taco. Yum! Drinks were made fresh and delicious as well. Plan on returning soon to try the rest of the menu. read more

Absolutely love the decor and atmosphere here. It's got a California boho vibe that's really cute. The drinks and food were exceptional. I ordered the chicken chorizo tacos- delicious! Wish they had BarTaco in Florida. read more

At a friends suggestion, we visited Bartaco last week for lunch and what a great meal! It was 12:15pm and the place was packed, we found seating at the bar and decided on the three taco lunch special for $11. I tried the seared swordfish, baja fish & mojo pork carnitas tacos. All three were equally amazing. Sweet tea was delicious (not super sweet and great tea flavor). They forgot our guacamole app, but the food came out so quickly.. we had them take it off the bill. For the inconvenience, they gave us two chips to anjoy a taco on them, not necessary... but a nice gesture. What a great place! Can't wait to go back and try other delicious tacos! read more

Wow! What a weird ordering system. We spent the first 20 minutes logging in, entering credit card info. Not only that, the others in my party had to enter their phone number to access the menu! We went out for dinner to enjoy each other's company and instead had a lesson in a technology fail! read more

I just LOOOOOOVE this place!!! Everything we ever had here is excellent. The service is great the atmosphere is awesome and the whole concept of tacos and drinks in a modern "fresh" environment is so cool! The tacos are Ahhhhhmazing... especially the steak ones and the corn fritters are out of this world good. Ok ok I definitely had better Churros else where but they are still scrumptious. And it surely doesn't keep me away from giving this place 5 stars because it is still perfect to me! ;) The waiting can be a little bit of a pain thought...Especially when you are hungry lol. But again I totally understand that this place is so crowded.. You can't do reservations unfortunately - First come, first served. I don't really have a problem to wait 30 min for some good old tacos at this cool place read more

this is truly one of my favorite restaurants. the staff has been so friendly every single time I've gone. the drinks are also AMAZING!! and it's so easy to try so many different things. it's an amazing environment overall and such a fun experience. one of my favorite date night spots or fun to go with your friends too! read more

This is a pretty good taco spot. More of an upscale feel with really nice decor. Tacos are really tasty my favorite being the baja fish and mojo carnitas. My drink on the other hand wasn't as good as I was hoping. I ordered a Moscow Mule which wasnt bad but had more of a bitter taste than I am accustomed to. Would recommend to anyone looking to get a quick bite. read more

The shrimp, tuna, duck, cauliflower and portobello tacos are all really, really good and I love that you can get them on Bibb lettuce. The salsas and cucumber salad are also delicious! You can trust me on this...I'm from Texas, so I know my tacos. The tacos are pretty small so you need 3 (4 if you're getting lettuce instead of tortilla) and a side or two to feel full. That plus a drink (non-alcoholic) can add up pretty quickly to over $20. Side note: they don't have non-sugar sweetness, so if you like your iced tea sweetened without sugar, bring some stevia with you. read more

Saw a review on insta by Maddie @raleighrevealed last week so I knew that we needed to try this place! Made a trip down to REI & decided to take tacos home. Since we didn't order ahead of time, the hostess directed us to the back to order. Many questions about the menu were answered patiently for us (thank you!). Were told it'd be 15mins - went back about 10min later & our order was ready (there were a lot of take out orders going on -- they were busy!) Would hesitate to do the take-out again because these tacos are meant to be eaten right away (become soggy depending on what you get). Favorite part of everything were the sides : guac, corn & plaintains but really enjoyed trying so many taco options! read more

Nice, casual place for tacos. Our server, Ella, was outstanding! We had guacamole to start. It was fresh and flavorful, and the texture was a bit rustic, which happens to be my preference. I tried the carnitas, chicken chorizo and carne asada tacos. All were well seasoned and perfectly cooked. I really like that they use corn tortillas, and tacos are served with red onion and cilantro, like traditional street tacos. As a side, I had the corn, which was served on the cob, with lime, cotija cheese, and a sprinkle of cayenne, which perfectly accents the flavor. A definite winner in my book! read more

Excellent food and service. We will be going back. And great cocktails as well. Highly recommend bar taco!

My favorite restaurant in Raleigh. Exceptional food, great drinks. My faves are the spicy margarita, duck birria, and Baja fish taco, but everything is great. Fantastic digital ordering system makes for the most fluid "small plates" experience available. You order what you want when you want, making multiple orders is incredibly convenient. Expect $25 to $50 per person with alcohol or $10 to $30 per person without alcohol. read more

The lobster taco !!! Buy 4 of them. Why 4 idk just because lol. I couldn't stop eating.

Best rice bowls in the triangle! Great atmosphere and the wait staff and hosts are very friendly!

Don't bother. Based on the reviews I've been looking forward to trying Bartaco for a while-- what a letdown. First, we called and requested to be waitlisted since it was Friday night and were assured by the manger there would be no wait. When we got there 20 minutes later the hostess told us there would be a wait and the manager who told us otherwise was unavailable. We waited at the bar and encountered disappointment number 2, 3 and 4 -- the surley bar staff, a 12$ margarita, and a drink that was 1/2 ice in served in a rock glass. We were seated timely enough but then came some convoluted/millennialized self-ordering process that included vague directions and sent a bevy of untrained and inattentive wait staff to our table when a card displayed. The menu was uninformative and too small to read. The waitstaff never cleared a single tray or glass which crowded our table within 2 orders ( food comes whenever it wants and as we found out sometimes not at all). The food was okay but presentations were haphazard and came on dozens of randoms trays for which there was no room on the table. Final thoughts? The tacos were basic, the service was lazy and overly confusing, and the experience was disproportionate for the cost. If you're into paying for overpriced food with a millennial disregard for thoughtful service or attention to detail, go ahead -- otherwise don't bother. read more

This place is SO good. I got the falafel taco, fish and some quac it was so good I can't wait to go back. Service was great as well. I didn't like the margarita though too much lime. Churros were delicious I'm still thinking about them! Can't wait to go back. read more

Best tacos around, and I can be stupidly picky. I would recommend trying the glazed pork belly. I had four of them. ( : I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu though. Worth a detour to come eat here if your close. The ordering system is novel and makes the restaurant even easier to eat too. read more

Bartaco - Tacos Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

In a time where it is easy to use the excuse of COVID and staffing issues to justify any shortcomings in service, Bartaco did the opposite. Any business will have times where things don't reach their typical standard, but how the business responds to fix the issue can make or break the customer's experience. While I did appreciate the free tacos given in response to my long wait, what impressed me more was the response I had on my return. They remembered who I was and ensured that my food was promptly brought out. That shows that they care about their reputation. Even more than the response, the tacos are spot on. The key components for any taco snob were present- soft corn tortillas, cilantro, onion, and lime to squeeze over the top. Do not expect "traditional tacos", but picture more fusion flavors combined with key traditional taco elements, and that is what you get at this place. My favorite was the pork belly which they nailed the cook, rendering the fat so that it melts in your mouth. read more

Daniel was a Great server, very patient and attentive. Our party started as nine but ballooned to twenty-one and he and rest of the staff never missed a beat. The food was fresh and tasty. I would definitely recommend this place! read more
