    All ends of limes
    Dr. Justin E.

    This was an awful meal. We ordered the verde chicken and the mushroom tacos with queso. The chicken could not have been more dry it had the texture of literally hay. It was inedible. Many parts of it were also weirdly hardened. The mushrooms and queso were extremely bizarre. Chunks of hard oily cheese and slimy mushrooms. And to top it all off--the limes they gave us were not usable. All end pieces with no actual fruit to squeeze.

    Stopped in for a late dinner after picking family up at Dulles and we enjoyed our experience! Shoutout to the free matchbooks and postcards at the host stand! We got seated right away and our waiter was attentive and quick to take our drink and food orders. I tried the pomegranate limonata which was light and refreshing. We shared guac which is always a great choice. I got the shrimp taco, fish taco, and pork belly tacos. Pork belly was definitely the standout! Very unique and the meat was tender. The menu very clearly says the tacos are small and the price definitely reflects it - these are not $7 tacos. However, I was very surprised at just how small they were! They recommend 3-5 tacos per person. Overall nice vibes and solid food; likely won't be back to the Reston location but will keep their DC locations in mind!

    Came here Saturday lunch time .Ordeted three of their vegetarian tacos , Chorizo taco was a bit too salty .Liked their corn with cheese . Pork belly taco was the best .Thri steak taco again bit too tart .Loved their guacamole and nachos . Kids chicken taco with cheese was too dry for any kids to chew . Wine was good .

    Ambiance: Cool beachy atmosphere, with a decor to match the vibe. Service: Service was slow, and not very welcoming. Food: Tacos were not pleasing to my taste. Meat wasn't seasoned, and the tack shells were dry.

    Duck, Pork Belly, Mushroom, and Sesame Beef (I think) Taco

    Ambiance was nice - no issues -- seating and ordering experience was nice. Service was really good! Very friendly and helpful staff. The tacos here (compared to what you can get at other joints) are pricier for the portion size. I could do one bite and finish these tacos. They sometimes get messy and the ingredients fall out - hence why maybe searing the tortilla and doubling up might help. Regardless, they were really tasty and well balanced. My personal favorite was the duck one. It featured a nice sweet umami glaze with it which helped intensified the flavor!

    So what has gotten me hooked to this place was a drink I can no longer get: Smoke on the Water. Came here last year around this time and was told it's seasonal. What?! Watermelon season is now. This time server said they didn't have all the ingredients. Decided to get an Anejo Old Fashioned. For $23, I should have just gotten the watermelon margarita. Tacos were good as usual as was the chips and salsa. They even give a military discount!

    Fish taco, chicken taco and cauliflower taco

    Ambiance and service are good. Liked their baja fish tacos and cauliflower taco the most

    The creamy and fresh guacamole.
    Joy B.

    "Tacos are a symphony of flavors dancing in your mouth." Bartaco has the most tantalizing tacos that you have ever tasted. Have you ever thought of duck tacos? Well, you should, because that extra rich duck, that is slow roasted in a tamarind glaze, paired with caramelized onions and cilantro. It is phenomenal! Then,we had the chile-lime marinated shrimp that rests on a mound of shaved jicama dressed in a pepita salsa. It was mouthwateringly good. Next, we had the pork belly which was covered in a chili glaze and accompanied by pickled onions. It was delicious and I couldn't stop eating it. We also shared the fish tacos, which were served with a refreshing coleslaw. The fry on that fish was amazing and the fish tasted fresh and perfectly seasoned. Yum. The creamy and rich guacamole is a must have. It is so yummy and cravable. Service was excellent. We ordered online and it was ready for us when we arrived. I love how everything is packed with care, so that it arrives home in perfect condition. The ambiance is a modern design. There is warm wood furnishing and metal accents. Bartaco has the best tacos I have ever eaten! I just love the chance to visit them in Reston, Virginia.

    Ribeye bowl.  Delicious
    Amy P.

    Went this weekend and started with a grapefruit ginger Aqua Fresca, which I've had before, and love. We started with guacamole and chips and salsa. They make the best guacamole! I decided to try the BBQ sesame ribeye bowl. It was delicious. The ribeye was tender and so flavorful. It sat on a base of brown rice, and had spinach, crispy shallots, and spinach. It was so filling. I was too full to have dessert.

    The food is delicious. Tapas-style/small portions. My husband and I love it! We appreciate the cell phone ordering and how the staff is quick and helpful. The chill ambience is great, especially for after a stressful workday or a late night bite. Highly recommend!

    Spicy Chorizo
    Jimmie P.

    I love soft tacos and well why not add drinks to the mix. Love the concept, order from the app and it comes to the table. This is a nice HH spot. All the tacos are good but baja fish , shrimp and chorizo were my favorite

    How do you earn those poker chips? When I was there I didn't get any. :(

    Being super nice ?

    What's with the poker chips? Someone gave me chips, and I have been there once, but forgot to ask what's up with the chips!

    Each chip is good for a free taco... they want you to go back for more! :)

    I originally included Senor Ramon under my Crooked Run review for their tacos, but since it now…read moreappears on Yelp, I can review it separately. For many of my friends, when we visit this area, Crooked Run is now a destination because of the tacos (as well as the beer). I do find them delicious and nicely spiced. For me, their price is slightly below average among places I visit, so I find them to be a good deal, especially since they come in slightly larger tortillas - and double layered at that. Their lamb tacos - now 2 styles - are incredibly popular among my group, but I've never had a bad taco there. But the tacos are very messy. Perhaps they have a little too much - even double layered, some of the tacos fall apart as I eat them. Also their method of delivery is a little inconsistent. Two of us ordered two tacos each at the same time. One got his on a tray, I got mine in a little cardboard holder. Maybe they have a limited number of trays? No matter, it's not how they're presented, it's how they taste. And for that, I say "Si Senor!"

    This taco place was inside a food hall with many other food stalls. I got the Super Ramon, Birria,…read moreand Campechano ($6 ea). They were made in about 7 minutes and were all very good tacos with the super Ramon being my favorite. I loved the cheese flour tortilla and the carne asada/chorizo combo. It was very savory and all meshed quite well together. The other tacos were also quite good. For $6 ea they were on the more expensive side but did fill me up. Overall a solid spot to get tacos that I would gladly come back to. Food(50%): 8.3 Staff/service(25%): 6.5 Value(25%): 6.0 Overall: 7.3/10
