I had the chorizo tacos, plantains and churros. I know it sounds weird but I wanted to try those things my first time there. The tacos were delicious my only problem was I only ordered two and I wanted so many more. The plantains were cooked perfectly and tasted so good. The churros were still warm after a 10 min walk to the office, along with the salted chocolate dipping sauce! While I was waiting for my take out I saw them squeezing limes for their mixed drinks, which I thought was great. I absolutely loved this place and they are extremely friendly. read more

I came in here at 5:50 on a Friday night (about 45 minutes ago). Ordered around 6:05. It took thirty minutes for my drink to arrive (mojito). During that time all of my food came, me and my dining mate ate all of our food (his drink came after about twenty minutes). There's no service here. This whole concept is a joke and you're wasting money if you come here. I hope this company tanks. Also, the food is terrible. Used to like this spot. read more

Sucks you can't make resys here, but love how easy it is to order and get your food! Food comes out quick, everything was amazing. The duck bowl was great as well as the lobster tacos. Wish the plantains were more crispy rather than mushy. Enjoy the seasonal marg selection tho! Fun and quick dining read more

I generally avoid chain type restaurants but didn't realize this was one until after my first visit. That said, I'm hooked. Has a great vibe - fun atmosphere and have been impressed with food quality. I've come for both a table for two and ended up having a small corporate function and both experiences were equally great. Service was very friendly and professional. If I had to be critical about any one specific item, it would be that the drinks on the cocktail menu sound better than they come out - the drinks skew to the overly sweet side. But that small matter quickly fades once the delicious tacos arrive. All were standouts - especially the steak, tuna and Baja fish. Great new addition to the Seaport. read more

Great food & drinks. The street corn never disappoints. The pork belly and chicken taco were the best out of all of them. Only complaint is we sat at the bar & had an amazing female bartender. BUT there was a male bartender who was consistently shouting at her and the entire bar was listening and watching. He also ended up shouting at the other bartender "when you suck, be better" after he messed up a persons bill. Naturally, it was uncomfortable to witness and took away from the ambiance and experience. read more

Did takeout and was really solid. We were upsold on some takeout margaritas as well and I'm glad we were, pretty decent pour and was definitely better than what I could've whipped up at home. We ordered several tacos so little bit of variation, but all pretty good. Our favorite tacos were the pork belly and the fish. Would come back. read more

By far the best restaurant I've been to in a while. Service, food and drinks. Impeccable. It's worth the 2-hour wait. Seriously, in today's COVID disaster it's so hard to find an all in one food establishment, but I found it. I had to go to Boston to get it!!!! read more

Made a reservation and got seated as soon as we got there. But the drinks came out well after we were finished with out food, We went on a Monday evening. The place was not packed but was very loud! FYI the menu is online and you must order through their website (there's a QR side on the table). Overall the food was great but the service was lacking. read more

The food here is amazing and I especially want to speak to their service! They accidentally forgot to bring us three of the tacos we had ordered. When we reminded them of it, they brought us the missing tacos and gave it to us on the house. Bar taco has a lot of great options for pescatarians and everything is so flavorful. I especially liked their pork belly tacos and the plantain appetizers (the sauce it comes with is heavenly). read more

The tacos were really good, though there was a 1 hour wait before we got a table inside and another 1 hour wait before our food was ready after ordering. The tacos were somewhat on the small side (2-3 bites) and the chips were really salty. The crispy fish taco and the oyster taco are definitely worth ordering. read more

The tacos here at great! I came here for lunch by myself and was seated quickly. They have a wide variety of tacos to choose from, I settled with the duck, grazed pork belly and carne asada. All were extremely delicious! I also got a side of chips and salsa roja, the salsa was quite spicy and the chips were giant circles. My only wish was that they were more traditionally sized but they were still not bad. Overall would definitely come back! read more

Everything was delicious! The corn fritters are an absolute must have for an app. I had the cauliflower tacos and they were delicious and so flavorful. My boyfriend got the chicken bowl which he loved. The whole table split the churros and I do not have a huge sweet tooth but they were AMAZING!!!!!! Our waiter was really nice and also very understanding as one of our guest has a nut allergy. The only reason I gave this place a 4 instead of a 5 was that 2 of our tables tacos never came. But they were nice and took it off the order. They have a huge wait which is understandable due to the amazing food. I would definitely recommend making a reservation. I will definitely going back! read more

I've been here once before COVID and I recently visited for the second time last night. My boyfriend and I used the bartaco app to put our name on the waitlist since Friday nights usually get pretty busy here. We took the orange line to Downtown Crossing and then walked to seaport. When we arrived around 6pm, we checked in with the host and he seated us right away. There's a lot of seating available - both outdoor and indoor, but it still gets pretty packed during dinner time so I would suggest saving yourself some time by joining their waitlist ~30 minutes beforehand. Just don't put your name down too early because once they're ready, they only hold your spot for 5 minutes. Due to the COVID situation, they now have you order and pay using your phone. To order food, you scan the QR code and add items from the menu to your cart online. You can then either checkout as a guest or sign up for a bartaco account - I recommend signing up because it makes the process easier if you plan on ordering a second round of tacos/drinks and don't want to go through inputting your payment option again. Make sure you put the table number in the "additional notes" section when checking out so that they know where you're sitting. After entering your credit card information, you choose how much you want to tip and then you're all set! You just have to wait for the food. After you're done with your meal, you're free to just leave. I'm giving them a 4/5 stars because I don't really like their new ordering system. The website is kind of annoying to navigate; whenever I put an item in the cart, it would go back to the main page where I would have to click through multiple things to get back to the part of the menu I was previously at. Another downside was that the tacos take a really long time to come out. For our first order, we had to wait 30 minutes for 10 tacos and then for our second order, we waited 40 minutes for 6 tacos. In my opinion, it's worth the wait but I still wish it didn't take as long. We'll probably order everything in one round next time. The tacos here are amazing and so delicious. They come out warm and freshly made. Each one is around $2.75-$3.75. Since you order through the website right at your table, it gives you the option to choose between corn tortilla or bibb lettuce. You can also remove certain ingredients you don't want (ex: onions, cilantro) or add avocado for an extra cost. They have a checklist for any allergies you may have and a section for special instructions. This basically allows you to customize your order the way you want without directly telling a waiter. Tacos we ordered: - Roasted Duck: this one is my personal favorite. It's very flavorful and has a small spice kick to it. The shredded duck is really tender and the tamarind glaze makes it kind of tart/sweet and juicy. - Glazed Pork Belly: super juicy and fatty. Can't complain about pork belly! - Sesame Ribeye: I think this one is relatively new. It comes with kimchi, which gives a nice crunch and a freshness to the taco. The ribeye beef has a sweet marinade, pairing well with the spicy kimchi. My boyfriend really likes this one. - Baja Fish: super crispy fried fish and refreshing chipotle slaw. If you like the classic fish and chips then definitely get this one. Adding hot sauce gives it extra flavor. - Spiced Chicken Verde: simple but tasty. Chicken was cooked perfectly and not dry at all. The chile + herb marinade and the aguacate salsa make this taco fresh and light. - Mojo Pork Carnitas: tasty and tender pork. Dessert: - Churros: comes with a chocolate sauce to dip the small-sized sticks of churros in. A nice, simple way to end the night with something sweet. The staff is extremely friendly and always willing to answer any questions we had. The only time they really came to check on us or talk to us was to make sure we knew how their new ordering system worked, to serve us the food, and to refill our water. If we had any questions then we would put up our table number sign. I found it surprisingly how attentive they were - I didn't think any waiters would see our small table card, especially since it's a big busy place, but one of them noticed pretty quickly and came over to help us. Overall, great atmosphere and great food. If you're going out for date night or looking for a chill place to eat tacos and drink cocktails with some friends, then go to seaport and try bartaco! For dessert, you can get their churros or ice cream, or walk nearby to Ben and Jerrys or Taiyaki NYC. Convenient location for a night out! read more

I was excited to order from Bartaco since they opened! I placed an order online for kids tacos (fish and beef). The website has various options (see photo) for additional ingredients to remove from your order. I did not choose any of the options. When I received my order, the fish taco was plain and the beef taco was covered in a cream sauce. I attempted to email Bartaco, however, their contact website did not exist. When I called to inform them my order was incorrect, the woman who answered the phone stated all kids tacos are plain, with no additional ingredients. I inquired, why would the website offer to remove ingredients if they are not originally included with the item? She then said repeatedly, if you want those ingredients, order from the adult menu. Thank you for your sarcastic reply! I will order from another establishment instead! The host (a gentleman with a great smile) was very friendly and welcoming, which is the reason for the 2 stars! The decor is great as well! read more

Honestly if I could give this place no stars I would. Their COVID procedures are absolutely terrible, wait staff is either non-existent or rude. Waited 2 hrs for a table after a 30 minute call ahead which essentially did nothing as far as reducing wait time. I understand the difficulties with COVID and limited space, however, telling a customer the table will take 45 minutes when it actually takes 2.5 hrs is unacceptable. The food was average at best but I was so angry and hungry at the time it arrived I don't even think I tasted it. I will not be returning. read more

This place is AMAZING!!! Very friendly service!! I'm Hispanic & VERY picky about my ceviche & these guys knocked it out of the park!!!! Been there twice in 4 days & looking forward to going again before we leave!! Thank you all for such a WONDERFUL-experience!!!! And to my gal with the BEAUTIFUL skin.....You are stunning & we truly enjoyed chatting with you!! read more

An awesome concept and great food! The style of food is packed with flavor and texture. The are street style tacos so on the smaller side but it allows you to taste many of them in one sitting. They are dressed perfect with toppings and the correct sauces. The duck taco was my favorite, the pork belly was my girlfriends choice. The margaritas are simple in flavor and delicious. The culture and staff is warming and welcoming. Definitely up to a go to spot for tacos or even any dinner option when heading to the city. read more

The hype is real. My friends and I split the takeout taco pack and WOW. They really pack in a lot of food into this bad boy, it fed 4 hungry adults with plenty of food leftover. This family-sized bundle is $40 and comes splitting at the seams with food--rice, beans, chips, tortillas, two kinds of meat (we opted for carnitas and duck), limes/garnishes, salsa and more salsa. We also added a side of guacamole, which was quite the hit. And ohmygosh it was so good. Even better than the food was the experience. We were able to do a picnic with pretty much no prep work, fulfilling all my millennial hopes and dreams. I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu. read more

bartaco Seaport - Taco pack - Tacos Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

i wanted to take pictures of our tacos, but they magically disappeared so this text only review will have to do. i'm from california, so i like to think i know good tacos (as every southern californian probably annoyingly says, but hey! we do!). i found bartaco and although the little taco holders are usually a red flag, i am glad we overlooked this fault and gave them a chance. we went on a tuesday, which might have been a mistake. you get on the list online ahead of time, but within reason so as to not lose your spot should they call your name. when we got on maybe 20 minutes before our arrival, got there and oh hell. the place was packed and we were told we still had an hour wait. i'll take that loss because hey, it was tuesday. my fault. the restaurant is extremely cute and trendy so we figured we'd wait it out. the ambiance was casual yet still had an upscale feel to it. hosts, bartenders, waitstaff were welcoming and accommodating. considering the amount of people you'd think they'd be stressed; if they were, they didn't show it - smiles everywhere. we found a spot at the bar, ordering some delicious hand crafted cocktails, and chatted it up with the bartender who kept the chips and salsa (very fresh) flowing. once we got our table the caliber of service was consistent with our waiter. we ordered the chorizo, mushroom, pork belly, and duck tacos. the chorizo and mushroom were good, not bad at all but not to die for. now let's talk about the duck and pork belly. the pork belly is extremely tender and full of flavor. get it. the duck as well. cooked just right and and so savory. the star was the key lime pie in a jar. when i couldn't finish it there, THEY LET ME TAKE THE JAR HOME! do yourself a favor and give bartaco a try. great tacos, good drinks, warm people, beautiful establishment. read more

My first time in Boston and this place will be where I go every time I come here! It was absolutely incredible. The taco's were all delicious (baja fish was my favorite), they were all light that you can try them all or have a bunch of your favorite one. The drinks were delicious as well. Churro and coffee to finish the amazing experience here. Staff and service was perfect, especially how they handled Covid protocols. MUST GO HERE IF YOU ARE IN AREA! read more

Taco was good once it came out! Totally get the family style atmosphere but need to be better at it. Ordering was difficult and food didn't come out even close together. Resulted in one person eating and being done before the other food even arrived. read more

bartaco Seaport - Tuna Tatako - Tacos Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

This place is delicious. Tacos we tried, listed in order of deliciousness: swordfish, duck, portobello, pork carnitas, carne asada, chicken chorizo. Chicken empanadas were tasty too. The mojito tinto is one of the best cocktails I've had in quite awhile- has spicy sangria mixed in. Not sweet and so delicious. The house margaritas were authentic and fresh as well- they squeeze the limes right in front of you. Bar is super crowded, wish there was more space to stand. They should rethink making the tables by the windows more standing shared cocktail tables instead of dinner tables. Just not a lot of space for people at the bar or people waiting for tables to be. Server was excellent, and attentive. Will be back to try more! read more

The food is great, but one of the managers was incredibly rude one night. I was standing at the bar with my group when I suddenly felt someone bump into me from behind. I turn and see it was one of the restaurant staff who is currently taking orders from the table behind me. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and assumed they didn't see me. A couple minutes later, I am once again hit from behind by the same person on their way back from the table. I turn around and confront them and their response is simply "sorry man, it's a busy area and you're standing in the way." I mention that they could simply say "excuse me" and I could move out of their way. They simply shrugged their shoulders, said "sorry", and walked away. It's a shame that the staff are so rude and condescending because the food and drinks are actually good. However, I can't possibly give my money to people who don't respect their customers and behave in this manner. read more

Something missing here. Maybe it the ordering from the bartaco app. Servers walk around like zombies delivering food. Maybe they should simply have those conveyor belts come by tables with your food(?) Nice building and space in this neighborhood. read more

We arrived at 4:30 in the afternoon. We were invited to sit and order appetizers and drinks as it would be 30 minutes for a table. (We were expecting to have to wait, so that wasn't a problem.) But it was about 30 minutes before our drinks arrived!! Totally ridiculous!! When I asked the staff where our drinks were, they were dismissive. "Oh, the bar is a little backed up." Horrible experience! The tacos were so so. The fried fish was mostly batter and hardly any fish. The pork belly was pretty good. The salsa and chips were not good. The big rounds had a fun look, but they didn't have a fresh crunch. The thing that brings me to 2 stars instead of one is that the ambiance was light and fun. But we will not be hurrying back to this place. read more

Super fun spot for yummy tacos and good drinks. The current ordering process is all done through your phone, and tacos are either 2.95 or 3.95 depending on which type. I tried the spicy chicken verde, chorizo, shrimp, pork belly, and ribeye - favorites were the chicken and pork belly. The pork belly is super crispy and flavorful. For drinks I had the reviver and margarita, both of which were great. We went on a weeknight to avoid the long weekend waits - though we were quoted 30-40 minutes, our table was ready in 3(!) minutes, which was helpful but also unexpected as we had wandered off to pass the wait time. Wait times for food were also unpredictable, as I would place an order for 2 tacos at the same time as my friend, who seemed to consistently wait 3-4x as long as me. I don't know if I would go with the 2.5 hour Friday night wait I've been quoted, but a good spot nonetheless. read more

Nothing says Seaport like waiting 90 minutes to get seated in a restaurant full of obnoxiously loud 24 year old trust fund babies swiping Daddy's credit card like it's their job! I went to this place the first week it was open, and most recently I went again last week. Nothing has changed. Still WAY overpriced BITE size tacos that are completely underwhelming, and let's not forget the $16 mixed drinks that taste like a frat bro made it! Places like this are everything that's wrong with Seaport. Unless someone else is paying, there's absolutely no reason to go here. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this shit hole. read more

This was one of the worst dining experiences I have had in Boston. First of all, the wait time was more than an hour. Second of all, I emphasized not to add cilantro to my tacos, however half of them still had cilantro. And I ask the host about it, he was arguing with me telling me there is no cilantro and that I am wrong. I am allergic to them and it could have ended really bad. One hour wait was so not worth it. Please teach your staff to be a little more approachable and helpful. I would not recommend coming here if you want a nice dining experience and good quality food. read more

This is not a family restaurant. Music was so load could not even talk with the person next to you. Asked to have it turned down a little and the manager blamed the volume on it being club music. Put his hands in the air and walked away. I could not make out any more of what he was saying. Could not communicate with our waiter.. who was very nice and trying to help. Only positive was the food was good. read more

Bar Taco is a very popular spot in the Seaport, and so there will almost always be a wait time to get in. But trust me, it is worth waiting for! I would say we waited about 30 min. We were given the opportunity to stand at the bar in the meantime. To be honest it was extremely cramped and uncomfortable and I wouldn't recommend doing this. I just felt like we were very in the way. Finally after this we were seated in a comfortable booth. Bar Taco offers a family style sit down meal where you are given a piece of paper with menu items listed and everyone at the table checks off what they want. A very convenient way to order. Then everything is sent out on shareable trays. The tacos themselves are really tasty and fresh. I tried a variety and for the price they are definitely worth it. The street corn is also highly recommended, it literally melts in your mouth. Another item worth trying is the plantains. Plantains are one of my favorite side dishes but they have to be made just right. These were perfection and were served with a sauce that complimented them well. For dessert we had churros and Tres Leches. I probably wouldn't order the churros again as they were a bit dry however they nailed the Tres Leches. All in all it's worth stopping in and stuffing your face. read more

I got this order as a takeout order. First impression when I picked up the food, the restaurant was crowded at 3 pm, which set me to a high expectations to their food. However, when I opened the takeout bag, I was shocked by how TINY the sizes are, especially the tacos since they put them it in a quite large container. Overall, the flavor was nice. The fish was very crispy, good with the spicy sauce they have, but it's about the size of 2 McNuggets, enough to finish in one bite. The glazed pork belly was also good, decent mix of crispy texture with rich and sweet taste, combined with the pickled vegetables was good, but again, tiny size with only 3 tiny pieces of pork belly. The rice bowl was very mediocre, nothing stands out other than its tiny size. If you are look for good taste, their tacos is a great option to try, but if you have had good Mexican fusion food in California, this place is no near comparable. Overall taste 4/5, price 2/5. read more

bartaco is such a fun place! The vegetarian tacos were FANTASTIC. There were so many flavors of spicy margaritas and they hit! They were just strong enough yet still pleasant to drink. The service was also great! The waiter and manager checked on us just enough times and they were so friendly! We had such a great conversation and they even get us dessert - churros and fried plantains on the house! I never experience such a great, easy to talk to but intrusive wait staff before.
