Shrimp, pork belly, roasted duck, and Baja fish tacos. We also had the plantains which were very delicious and the gelato had a beautiful texture and taste. Above all was the service. We felt welcome, people were so kind, especially the manager and our server Wyatt. We love the ambience and vibe of the restaurant. Great for date night, friends, or even family dinner with teens. Even though we were there until closing time other 11 PM. They were friendly and did not rush us at all. If you were looking for a great place to eat in Washington DC near the Penn Quarter, I highly recommend Bartaco.

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 food here is consistently delicious and easy to order, making it a breeze to grab a bite during a busy workday.

On my last visit, I decided to try the oyster tacos for the first time, and let me tell you, I fell in love. They were absolutely amazing.

Definitely worth it. Ask for extra condensed milk if that's something you like.

This isn't your typical Mexican restaurant as their Mexican dishes are added with an extra hint of pizaz. Crab Guacamole (5/5): The portion does look small, but it was packed with flavor. The crab was seasoning with this delicates spice and mixed with the guacamole. Horchatas (3/5): Honestly too creamy for me. Seafood enchilada (5/5): Comes with seafood like crab and shrimp. It's mixed with powerful flavor. Churros (5/5); Crispy on the outside and fluffy in the inside as it was perfect. The ice in the middles was perfect as a refresher. It also comes with a caramel dipping sauce. I definitely recommend this place for a night out.

Over the summer, there was a debut of a new Chicken taco! All the tacos are unique and tasty - Braised Mushroom with feta, Creamy Kale & Potatoes, Roasted Beets with ricotta, Roasted Eggplant, Skillet Corn and Cauliflower, Lemon Garlicky Greens, Smoky Collared Greens taco, Butternut Squash with goat cheese and caramelized onions. The only taco that I'm not a big fan of is the Scrambled Egg with Black Beans. It's very bland and the eggs are cold. The Mushroom Quesadilla that came out a couple of years ago is surprisingly filling oozing with cheese and hits the spot for only $6. The new Lunch combos is an okay deal. The Kale Salad had a spicy kick and I don't think it was worth paying an extra $7 for it when the Mushroom Quesadilla is only $6. The mild green sauce in the Black Bean Enchiladas has been replaced by the spicy red sauce. The spicy sauce is overpowering to enjoy the enchiladas and the green rice is often undercooked. There's a nice large tank of complimentary ice water instead of the faucet. The Hibiscus Tea is refreshing and sweetened with honey. The coconut Lime Aqua Fresca is refreshing as well and a nice summer mocktail. I've had the Blueberry Margharita Slushie at the Gtown location and really enjoyed it. Always excited to come back and it's become a staple of my office go-to lunch hot spots!

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.

There is metered street parking within a reasonable walking distance. The restaurant has a nice patio and a decent-sized dining area.

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.

The fajita salad was awesome and definitely the highlight of our meal. The tacos were decent, too. The birria ramen, however, was disappointing. The broth was flavorful, but the noodles tasted like instant ramen to us, and the portion was quite small. Dessert was the biggest letdown. The Mexican tiramisu was very hard and dry--we tried several different corners, hoping another bite would be better, but it was the same throughout. They kindly replaced it with tres leches, which was okay, but still much drier than expected. I'm used to tres leches being soft and moist from the milk soak; this felt more like a regular cake and was probably the driest tres leches I've had. Overall, a cute atmosphere and a great fajita salad, but the birria ramen and desserts fell short for us.
