I stopped by on a Friday evening. It was empty inside and I assumed they were closing. I ordered…read morethe elotes, beef empanadas and churros to go. Everything came out fairly quickly. Elotes - 6/10. The flavor was good/typical, but the corn was hard and the kernels were too short to get proper bites. Beef empanadas - 5.5/10. They were so small, dry and NOT worth the price. Churros- 7/10. They were basic and nothing special. Overall, the food wasn't impressive or worth the price. Although it's close by and convenient, I doubt I'll return.

The queso was the best dish of the night! I didn't realize was going to have chorizo in it, but I…read moreactually didn't mind it! It gave it a kick. This queso was fresh and cheesy. I wasn't impressed with the chicken tacos, because of the chewy consistency of the chicken and flavor of the corn tortilla, I prefer a flour tortilla. The strawberry margarita was delicious and even came with a strawberry garnish! Be prepared because this place gets busy and loud on a Friday night. I couldn't hear my friend across the table. We also struggled because we had a small high top and could barely fit all of our food on it. They did a good job clearing the table and waiting for us to finish our appetizers. Our waitress had her hands full it seemed like she was waiting on every table but she did amazing.

Special shoutouts to: chips and guac, pork belly taco, duck birria, green margarita, and churros. One thing about Bartacos that I've come to learn over time: the quality can vary. Sometimes it's a good Bartaco day, sometimes it's an incredible Bartaco day. But I've never had a bad Bartaco day. The service model is quick and efficient. You typically order using the QR code, though I recently noticed they've been offering the physical menus more which feels a lot classier. However, when you order on your phone with the QR, you will get a free taco for your next visit after completing a short survey. Unless you put the blue service card up to indicate you want your server, you probably won't see them much, but it's not an issue, especially with the many food runners they have. The ambiance is very pretty and eclectic with soft lantern lighting. Medium casual dining, not too expensive, very suitable for a first date, probably not a fancy anniversary dinner type of place. TLDR: go to Bartaco. You'll probably love it.

I had only ever heard of it from co-workers who ordered delivery and fell in love with the ambiance. Great music, authentic Mexican decor, amazing scent of yummy meats and more cooking in the kitchen and more seating that I expected for such a small space! I got the birrias tacos and elote (pic not included because it was so yummy I forgot to take one before I happily devoured it. The staff was welcoming, helpful when I had questions regarding altering my choice of food ---even though I ordered via online pickup option.

FOOD REVIEW: El Barco - 50 Dalton St, Boston, MA If you're…read moretaco-obsessed like me and looking for a laid-back, flavor-packed spot in Boston, El Barco is a hidden gem you need on your radar. Not only are the vibes immaculate, but the prices are super reasonable for the area. Here's what we tried--and what I loved Quesabirria Taco - $15 Consommé, short rib, and cheese magic. The consommé wasn't too oily and had the perfect kick of flavor. Rating: 9/10 Great quality and price. Smash Burger Taco - $14 Exactly what it sounds like--a juicy burger in taco form! Topped with pickles, special sauce, and melty cheese. Rating: 8/10 - Super tasty and fun! Chicken Flautas - $10 Crispy flautas packed with shredded chicken, chipotle mayo, lime crema, and guac. The flavor combo really hits Rating: 8/10 - A must if you want something crunchy and craveable. El Barco Taco Salad - $12 A big ol' bowl of shredded lettuce, beans, corn, cheese, and lime crema. Fresh and filling, but I wish it came in a taco shell Rating: 7/10 - Great if you're craving something lighter. Pollo Asado Taco - $11 Marinated chicken with street corn & poblano salsa. You get two tacos for this price. A total win Rating: Solid 8/10 Elote - $10 Very creamy and sweet - a bit much for my taste. If you like your elote extra creamy, this is for you. Rating: 5/10 - Just not my style. Churros - $6 Crispy, golden, and perfectly fried! Loved the chocolate & caramel dips, but I personally prefer filled churros. Rating: 7/10 - Great sweet treat to end the meal. OVERALL VIBES: 10/10 This is the kind of spot you'll crave after a night out in Boston --fun, flavorful, and affordable (unlike most places nearby). If you're all about tasty tacos and a good atmosphere, El Barco should be your next stop. ‍

My friend opted for the Chipotle Chicken Wrap, while I decided to try the Craft Your Own Bowl. The service was fast, almost too fast.

They asked if I wanted rice, and after I said yes, they immediately scooped whatever was closest without waiting for me to specify the type. Same with meat. That was it, they moved to the last step and asked if i wanted pico on it (no other toppings). I would've loved to add lettuce, spinach, and more if given the opportunity to speak.
