I stopped…read moreinto bartaco for a quick lunch, and the chic atmosphere with indoor and outdoor dining, and incredibly upbeat staff seemed to match the excitement permeating throughout the city leading up to a summer weekend. I was eager to try a variety of tacos, though I was warned the tacos are quite small. It was a fair warning. I ordered 5 tacos, and expected to leave stuffed, but I was hungry again by 4:00pm. Eeeek. These are 3-bite tacos. Although small, I enjoyed the flavors of all the tacos I tasted. My favorites were the seafood varieties. 1) Baja fish - really crispy batter, creamy, spicy slaw 2) Yucatán shrimp - great texture, and spicy bean-like plantain puree. The pork belly was sweet, but a bit dry. In addition to the picked red onions, it could have used another saucy component. The carnitas and chorizo tacos were also good, but were less interesting for my palate. My five tacos were $20, without any sides or drinks. They have lots of shareable sides and appetizers, and I could easily drop a lot of $ filling up on their tasty bites while lingering in their lovely space.

Great meal and service…read more Our waitress was phenomenal and extremely accommodating for our kids regarding food they'd eat - getting us a plate of off menu chicken fingers. The food was very good. Octopus - Octopus is my favorite meal, and this is one of the best examples I've ever had. Steak tips - cooked perfectly medium rare, overall dish great Oysters - shucked clean and fresh Chips and salsa were great, no notes. Lobster empanada - crispy on the outside, soft and creamy inside, very good Fish Tacos - good fish tacos, nothing earth shattering to write home about - paled in comparison to the tapas. Dole Whip - great Churros - very good, they were small donut things not the traditional long churros, the mezcal chocolate was great and the vanilla cream too.

We walked in to Citrus & Salt on a Monday evening and were seated right away. The ambiance and…read moredecor were very lively - we felt like we were in Miami. I had been craving fish tacos for a really long time, and I was delighted to find a whole section of the menu dedicated to them. We started off with margaritas - one of the best companions to fish tacos - and I ordered mine spicy with jalapeño. For food, we shared the lobster empanadas and chorizo and potato taquitos. I ordered the tempura fish tacos for myself. Our margaritas were brought out shortly - mine was refreshing but lacked the kick from the jalapeño that I was hoping for (there was only one thin slice of pepper). Our food was brought out shortly, and I found it a bit overwhelming when our appetizers and tacos came out together. I started with my tacos, and these were excellent. The fish was flaky and fried to perfection, and I loved the rainbow of sauces and toppings. Plus, the tortillas were nice and sturdy and didn't tear. The lobster empanadas were super decadent, and I appreciated the substantial amount of lobster stuffed inside. I was too full to eat much of the taquitos but took a few bites. These also had good flavor but weren't standouts. Next time, I'd just get the tacos and maybe a light app. Towards the end of our visit, the restaurant seemed to clear out, and we had a difficult time trying to locate our server for the bill. Overall, we had a nice meal and satisfied the fish taco craving.

The brussel sprouts were not good as it tasted like someone put an entire lemon on them. It was also outrageous to charge an 18% service charge and a 3% admin fee on food that I picked up from the restaurant. I have no idea why you have to pay over 20% in fees for food that you are taking to go. I would not recommend dining here.

Rating: 3.5 Stars…read more Lifted is on the fifth floor of the OMNI Hotel. My friend and I stopped by around 8 PM on a Wednesday night. We went up to the hostess stand and were seated right away. Our server came by and was very friendly. However, as the night went on the service became quite slow. It took a lot of time for our food to come out and to get our to-go boxes as well. For a drink, I ordered the PINA-NO-LADA. It is basically a virgin pina colada. Very delicious and they added some nice cherries on top. For the food we shared: -CEVICHE: Great flavor and very fresh octopus. Went well with the tortilla chips it came with. -SHRIMP SCAMPI: The pasta was cooked perfectly as were the shrimp that were big and juicy. However, the sauce was overly acidic. There was way too much lemon in it. I do also wish they had more than just 4 shrimp on top of a $30 bowl of pasta. -BRUSSEL SPROUTS: Was good brussel sprouts. All in all, while the food was pretty good (with some hit or miss elements), it is such an expensive meal especially for the portion and service you are getting.

That was fine except the trainer wasn't listening to our conversation nor the trainees. We asked for coffee and they said they don't have coffee yet they serve breakfast and coffee was in their menu. This was the waitress speaking. We ordered guac and chips. Guac was fine just needed salt. Chips were made there and stale. The salsa tasted like store bought salsa and we asked for spicy salsa and they brought Cholula. Boo. They came back a few minutes later snd said e could order spicy mango habanero salsa for an up-charge. We said no. I ordered steak and shrimp fajitas. There were 3 slices of peppers and 5 slices of onions as the vegetables. The steak was not seasoned and the beans tasted like canned beans. My wife ordered carnitas tacos. They were terrible. No flavor, super dry, and the corn tortillas were old and crumbly. Ambiance was TexMex with a bit of southern cali but the food tasted like Jim Bobs TexMex. They were trying to beat Bobby Flay and ended up beating themselves. We did complain about the food quality and NOTHING was done or suggested. We even said give us something else and they just looked at us. We paid and left without finishing our food. They even said this was the new menu. So sad. To bad.

Feels more like 3.5 but rounding up…read more I've been waiting for this spot to open for a while now! The inside decor is bright and happy. The restaurant was empty so service was fast (maybe a little too fast) and friendly. I ordered takeout. I wanted to try a little bit of everything so I ordered 3 chicken tacos and one rajas taco. Plus chips and salsa and an order of rice and beans. They packaged everything up nicely - even with staples. When I got home, I was disappointed because they left out a chicken taco. I called to tell them but I was on hold forever and nobody picked up. The flavors of the food are good! The chicken tacos were better than the poblano one. At $6.50 for a specialty taco, it's kinda steep in my opinion. The chips tasted fresh and the salsas were flavorful. The full order was nearly $40 so around $20 per person. They have a lot of competition in the area with Bartaco being a five min walk away and lots more offerings, plus it might even be cheaper. They might want to consider specials for lunch/half off after work specials as this is essentially inside the Vertex building. Another option is adding cafecito and breakfast options. I would definitely give it another shot but word of advice - if you're ordering to go, double-check your order!

It has everything: 1) Expensive - I understand everything in Seaport is roughly 3x what it should cost, but if bartaco can manage a taco-shaped product for $4, what are we talking about? Especially considering: 2) Public nudity - You might think a chicken taco is not a list of ingredients. But in Tacos Chikis, it is. You have chicken and a tortilla. Onions? Cilantro? Taste? Never heard of it. And speaking of the tortilla: 3) Crimes - Serving this sad, limp tortilla should be illegal. I never wondered what eating a paper towel would be like, but now I know. 4) McDonalds terminals - These need to die. This is a restaurant, not a Star Market. When your menu can fit on a single page, just use the human. This place is almost worth a visit for how awful it is. Act fast, though, this won't be here for long.
