First time ordering from Bartaco. Decided to go in and place a takeout order of two rice bowls,…read morechips and guacamole. The service was very friendly. The hostess greeted me and asked if I'd ever been to the restaurant before. She directed me to the back counter where I was able to review the menu and place my order. The server at this register was also very nice. I liked the texture of the rice bowls and everything was cooked well. However, the portions for everything were smaller than I expected for the price. Bartaco offers items with mushrooms, falafel, and cauliflower. However I think it would be great if they could offer something with tofu as there is not a protein option for vegans. The chips and guacamole were decent but nothing special. Interesting that the chips come as large pieces instead of as individual chips. I'd maybe stop in again if I was nearby but I'm not sure I'm eager to return.

The patio is nice on those warmer days. Drinks, food, and people watching. I've been to many of…read morethese types of places in DC. Sophisticated tacos were good but smaller. My half of chicken was ok. Just grilled and needed lots more seasoning and maybe a side should come with it. The trio was good. The drinks I had weren't strong enough. They had just introduced the toast software so there were plenty of glitches but they more than made up for all of the problems. Much appreciated!

Also some vegetarian options like cauliflower and roasted brussels. The carne asada, baja fish, and pork belly were the favorites of the table. Drinks were quite good - strong sangria and the passion fruit Oaxaca margarita was perfect. Lastly the churros with a scoop of vanilla ice tea was the perfect way to end our meal. Definitely worth it. Ask for extra condensed milk if that's something you like.

I ordered the tuna tartare with crispy rice and the Mexican shrimp cocktail. The shrimp cocktail was a bit smaller than I expected, and I think the tartare was served with brown rice, which wasn't my favorite, but the fish in both dishes was really fresh and flavorful. I also had a cocktail (can't remember the name, but it had tequila!) that I really enjoyed. Overall, I'd definitely come back to try their tacos since that's what they're known for. It seems like a great spot for casual drinks and bites with friends.

He assigned us a wonderful server and personally took us downstairs to the lounge while we waited. What really stood out was how thoughtful he was with my mom.

The food was delicious, the drinks were great, and the service was excellent from start to finish. The whole area was clean, lively, and had such a great vibe. Definitely a winner! We'll absolutely be back, both for another girls' night and with family. And a special thank you to Justin for making our evening so enjoyable!

But hold on - they have a roster that will leave you full, even if you are a self-professed carnivore. I got a trio of different options and loved every one of them. The prices are reasonable (for this area) as well. I also like the space. It was bright and spacious, with almost an independent coffee shop vibe. If I needed to telework, I could see myself hanging here (but eating tacos instead of sipping lattes). Put away any misconceptions about 'vegan' and try it.

We came in with a big group, and the entire experience was top-tier from start to finish. The menu is packed with authentic options, and everything is practically made for sharing. We ordered a spread across the table, and every single dish was high quality, deeply flavorful, and super satisfying when it came to portion sizes. I personally got to try the guacamole, the Tacos de Camarón, and the California Fish Tacos--the fish tacos with that crispy fried fish were absolutely wow! To top it off, their handcrafted cocktails are as genuine as they come. The prices are on the higher side, but given the fresh quality, great flavor, and big portions. Even with our large party, the staff was amazingly attentive and handled our table like absolute pros. Can't wait to go here again!

My girlfriend loved her burrito de asada. It was so full of flavor and tender asada. I loved my enchiladas de mole. The mole sauce was perfect. The rice and beans were great also. Finally the gorditos de asada was generational. Not only were they filled with great tasting asada and grilled veggies, but the plain Gordito literally brought me back to my abuelas gorditos she would make me growing up. Brought me to tears. I definitely plan to visit this location anytime I'm in DC.

There is metered street parking within a reasonable walking distance. The restaurant has a nice patio and a decent-sized dining area. The staff was friendly enough, but I had a hard time understanding them. This place serves basic Mexican food, including tacos, burritos, bowls, nachos, chips, and salsa. You just pick your protein and toppings. They have asada, chicken, asado, carnitas, and potatoes. Some toppings include shredded cheese, guacamole, salsa, corn, onions, and lettuce. You also have to choose between brown rice, Mexican rice, black beans, and pinto beans. I ordered a chorizo burrito. It took them about 5 minutes to prepare. The burrito was huge. I must say that it was very good. Very tasty and flavorful. It could have been a bit warmer, though. After I ate my burrito, I was full. I really enjoyed my meal here, and I highly recommend checking this place out. They serve some good, fast Mexican food.

I can also appreciate how I won't run out of options here. Service/atmosphere - the employees are also speedy when preparing my food. They're also generous with their scoops, which I can always appreciate. The place indoors is always clean too. I would skip Chipotle and other Texmex places and go here instead!
