    I would give no stars if possible, but Found this restaurant thought I was going for taco waited for 45 min for two taco that came with two shrimps and some carrots smaller then my thumb, a chicken taco with 1 half of a piece of chicken. They don’t carry any cheese lettuce tomatoes or anything thing that can go on a taco. I also Order a lemonade the drink tasted like Sour Margarita mix that took additional 10 minutes to make just to be served in a clear Amazon pouch with no ice. Horrible and a waste of time and money….

    The service here is unbelievable. I've never been asked if I needed anything so many times by so many different staff members. This is not a negative thing, it's very positive. As for the food, I really enjoyed it. The concepts fun and different. I don't necessarily love it, but it's unique. The portion sizes are tiny so be ready to order multiple things. Overall though, it's is fairly priced as anything else. The atmosphere was not my favorite. I know the music is supposed to be loud for the vibe they're going for, but it's just too much for me. I could barely have a conversation it was so loud.

    This location is great. I walked right in on a Friday after and was seated. I got all of their seafood tacos. They are small and mighty, so yummy. Especially the lobster taco 👌🏾

    It was my first time at this restaurant. The service is nice as we had someone coming to check on us very often. You have to use your phone to make an order for them to bring it to your table which was a lot but overall the food was good. I had the chilli lime shrimp taco, tuna tatako, and crispy oyster taco. They all were good, and tasty. I was satisfied but not full.

    This place is amazing. Atmosphere was out of this world! What a friendly staff, who also concocted some wonderful margaritas and Palomas! Also I loved the variety of tacos. My bartender was I believe named monet(sorry about the spelling) give her a raise!!!!! -Ryan Reynolds

    I love this location! The staff is so friendly and very helpful. Please get the duck taco or duck birria - you will not be disappointed! I ordered a duck taco, the duck birria, esquites and tres leches. Delicious!

    This is legitimately one of the coolest restaurants I have ever been to. The way they set up their ordering and payment system makes dining in so easy and painless. Almost everything on the menu is gluten free, and they list the allergens of every menu item! The music was great, the atmosphere was great, and the food was phenomenal. The tacos are pretty small, but they’re really good. A word of advice: when they say spicy, they mean it! I was sweating in my seat with that chile lime shrimp taco, so spicy! But still very good!

    This is a cute, unique restaurant. Everything is ordered from your phone and comes out rather quickly. I was very surprised with how small the tacos were but they are delicious! I also recommend the guac and chips. Parking is very limited so you will definitely need to park along the street or in the garage.

    Bartaco is easily one of my favorite places to catch a casual yet classy meal with friends. I love the paperless style of ordering and paying through the app, the wide variety of food selections (I mean who doesn't like duck or Brussel sprout tacos?) and the chill atmosphere. I highly recommend!

    I had the Spiced Chicken Verde, Sesame Ribeye & Glazed Pork Belly Taco with a side of Avocado. I also had a Tito’s Lemon Drop Martini. Food & drinks were delicious. Service was good and atmosphere was nice.

    Second time visiting, and again it exceeds expectation! Great staff, if I remember correctly, the manger Taylor came by to check on us and took care of our needs. All of the staff is extremely friendly! Restrooms are clean. The drinks were great with a good amount of alcohol. We ordered my son quesadillas, which he tore up! My daughter wanted the chicken (which she got last time) and enjoyed that as well. My fiancé and I got tacos. We are big on yummy tacos, and this place is top of the list!! The only thing, which I mentioned in my first review, is that it's really loud in there. Be prepared to use your outside voice inside. You scan the QR code to order your food, you also pay online. First place I been to that offers this, and me personally it worked very smoothly. We will definitely come back and enjoy the awesome food and definitely recommend!

    Always a classic. I love the esquites here, and the tacos and bowls are solid. The atmosphere is great and the main reason to go, aside from tried and true food.

  • 3/5 Rosy M. 7 months ago on Google
    Food was amazing. Staff was lovely. On the other hand, the environment was miserable. When you walk in, it sounds like you're walking into a concert. The music is painfully loud and the songs are very raunchy. I'm young and enjoy these things in another setting. In a restaurant, I want to be able to hear the people I'm with and not have to scream over a song about sex. Definitely not a place for kids because of the volume and topics of the music. You get to the table and the QR code on the table doesn't lead you to a menu. It asks you to register your phone. I had to go to google to find the menu on their website. Very frustrating if one person is paying for a whole table because they have to order on their phone for everyone, meaning everyone has to scream their order over the music.

    Great place for tacos & drinks in the evening. The vibe is relaxed & chill. I ordered 5 tacos. 2 Baja fish, 1 sesame ribeye, 1 glazed pork belly, & 1 roasted duck. All the tacos tasted amazing! The size of the tacos was my only issue, but that’s why I ordered more than one. I also ordered street corn. Amazing flavor! You won’t be disappointed! If you can, grab a seat outside & enjoy yourself.

    Had an amazing waitress named Chelsea. My friends and I had never been there so we asked for suggestions. They were all stellar. The drinks were amazing. The people were amazing. I can't wait to go back again.

    This is such a cute taco spot. I love the ambience and the decor of this place, And I think it's a great spot for date night we're getting some cocktails and a few bites with the girls before going out for the night. They have a really good cocktail menu, the only thing that I didn't like was that it takes quite a while for the drinks to be made, But once you get them they are delicious. I believe they change the cocktail menu frequently but I had a delicious cocktail with both Mezcal and tequila. Their tacos are really tasty and reasonably price. I really enjoyed the pork belly taco, the shrimp taco, and the cauliflower taco. I will definitely come back here the next time I'm in Atlanta

    Modern tex-mex food chain with a small menu and full service bar with fresh squeezed citrus mixed drinks. We had tried a variety of tacos and each were very good! They unfortunately forgot about one of the items we ordered until we had to leave. Other than that a great place to go eat and get a few drinks!

    One of my fav spots to go for late night food. I’ve been here soooo many times when it’s late and I’m too busy and let everything close for the day(LOL). You have to pay for parking across the street. It can get crowded in the late hours of the night. The service is always great. I always order the same dishes - Birria quesadillas, fish and shrimp taco. The chicken taco is also good, but I prefer the fish and shrimp. I tried to Ceviche recently, the flavor was good but they could have chopped up the seafood smaller, I had huge chunks of fish… and I’ve had authentic Ceviche before when I lived in Miami, so I’m sure that played a role in how I felt about this. Lol! Lastly, highly recommend their lemon drops. Best ever. I order a Tequila Lemon drop bc I don’t drink vodka!

    This place was beautiful and I absolutely loved the food. I did order a specialty drink and did not receive it until I asked 3 different people and the manager. The service overall was amazing, but I did not get my drink until I was leaving which was a bummer.

  • 2/5 Ashley L. 4 months ago on Google • 23 reviews
    Pork Pasole and Plantains are good but the duck birria is dry/over cooked and seems like it was sitting around or sitting in the window cause it wasnt even the same temp as everything else. Its pretty much inedible. Kinda disappointing.

  • 5/5 Suzee M. 5 months ago on Google • 20 reviews
    Oh my gosh this place is SO good. Looks like they make the cocktails from scratch. I had orange crush and my boyfriend had mojito. So good! Servers were sweet and attentive, (we sat at the bar) and the food was great. I got the pork belly bowl and a large guacamole and chips- best guac ever . We loved everything about this place. Please open a location in Kansas City MO! 🙏🏼🥰

    It's always a blast at Bartaco. Food is fresh and delicious always. Drinks are refreshing and consistent. Servers are welcoming and fun personalities.

    Portion sizes are perfect. Staff is friendly. The atmosphere was relaxing. Most definitely coming back when in the city.

  • 3/5 April A. 4 months ago on Google
    Go to the one on Roswell Rd. Food here is great but if you order an alcoholic beverage you won’t get it until your meal is almost complete. This is my second day in a row at the Howell mill location, there are currently 8 patrons in here, including me, only 2 tabs at the bar and my drink has arrived right as I canceled it. My meal is 74% complete and now the drink comes. I watched the bartender do nothing, including not making my drink. The same instance occurred yesterday but Tyler was able to speed up the process. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! Two times in a row!!! I’ll just go to another location. I would like to speak to a GM.

  • 5/5 AN m. 5 months ago on Google
    I visited this place only once while I was in Atlanta to see my friend. Let me tell you, I had a pretty severe bout of COVID when the virus was initially spreading, and it had affected my ability to taste and smell to the point where food was far from enjoyable. Adobo seasoning tasted like licking an aloe vera plant, which was quite disheartening. Given these circumstances, I thought I would dislike the food at this location. However, to my surprise, everything was incredibly delicious. The dishes were perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection! The black beans, in particular, had just the right amount of spiciness, and I fell in love with them. I am now eagerly looking forward to revisiting this place!

    Had the most incredible dining experience at this restaurant all thanks to the amazing manager Natasha! From the moment we walked in Natasha's warm welcome and attention to detail set the tone for a memorable evening. The ambiance was fantastic and the food was an GREAT! Natasha was the real MVP though! If you're looking for a place where exceptional service and delectable cuisine meet, look no further. Can't wait to be back! Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Dionne S. 5 months ago on Google
    Good food. Taco portions are small but good. Had the grapefruit ginger Fresca and loved it. You order and pay via a website/ app and they put a hold on your card while eating until the tab is closed. There is an option to pay manually but you must ask.

  • 4/5 Dayn R. 7 months ago on Google
    Based on several reviews we decided to test this place out after a late night event. Parking of course is typical (annoying) however we found a spot and walked the quick block. Once entering we were excited with the setting, the decor and the friendliness of all the staff. We were seated immediately and scanned the QR and off we went to explore menu options. This is less about the food (it was fantastic, lobster was the featured protein) and more about the place itself. Even as the restaurant became busier with the even later crowd service was excellent and the food and drinks stayed the course. Will return for sure to explore more options. Had the falafel tacos and cauliflower tacos along with a few apps.

  • 5/5 Ricardo C. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely loved it. I cannot for the life of me recommend this place enough. First time going today, and the service was exceptional. I can’t remember the names of the three people who helped me, but props to each of them! The place was fairly packed, so having three different people ensure I had everything I needed really sold it for me. The food is all amazing, their tacos hit just the right spot, and their rice bowl was perfect down to the last grain. Will be coming back for sure!!

    After driving by a few times I finally got a chance to stop in to try this place. Bartaco is an excellent spot to try a new age of tacos. My personal favourite so far has been the Glazed Pork Belly, in its various forms here. The venue is enjoyable, commonly filled with good music, people having a good time, and staff that's very willing to help decide what might be good to try out! Most notably Omega and Dan, both Managers, who don't hesitate to step in to take care of their guests be it waiting tables or answering questions. As well as Riley, who does excellently at making sure her tables are taken care of. So far my favourite place for lunch, especially given how promptly your order comes out.

    Fantastic food. Awesome service. Delicious drinks. Great environment. A must visit gem tucked away in Midtown Atlanta.

  • 2/5 First B. 10 months ago on Google
    Come here all of the time but tonight’s to go order was disappointing. My wife ordered the secret squash taco to try something new and it had absolutely nothing on it. It’s almost like they fried the skin of the squash rather than any of the squash itself (photo included). Then the rest of the tacos had various issues from the tortillas being completed ripped to shreds to the pork belly being rock hard. We picked up the order on time, so we expected the food to be more fresh.

  • 5/5 Jancy C. 9 months ago on Google
    I love this place. It was a surprise. They have small portions but they are quite filling. I liked all the veggie tacos. Tuna taco was good too.

  • 5/5 Nicole J. 8 months ago on Google
    My boyfriend and I stopped here to grab a quick bite before going home. It was pretty late and we were able to be sat right away. The server quickly bought over water and informed us we could order and pay with the QR code. We started with guacamole and ceviche. The guacamole really surprised me, it was so fresh and seasoned well. The ceviche was the star of the night, the white fish and shrimp combined so well with the lime juice and red onions. I would go back just for that. We also each ordered the duck birria tacos. Those tacos were the best I've had in a long time. Everything from the ambiance, the quick delivery of the food, and the taste/quality of the food is why I'll be back again soon. Also, if parking in the garage, be sure to park in the designated spots and pay. The boot man had booted a lot of cars when we left.

    I enjoyed the new experience and the food is very tasty but it wouldn't be my go to Friday night taco place. Go with good friends where your best manners can be a little looser. I say that because all of the ordering is done thru an app by the diners. So the food comes out at all different times depending on who puts what order in and when. If you think you are going to wait for everyone to get their food and then eat at the same time, then this is not your place. But the wait staff is super helpful and nice about answering questions etc. They're great. The food is delicious but a lot of it is VERY spicy. It was almost more like sharing small plates / tapas together than it was everyone getting there own plate of tacos. We made a reservation online, checked in, but still waited about 45 minutes or so for our table on a weekday evening. It is also super loud. That was ok for several of us but a couple of us don't like very loud so that was a distraction. The drinks were great. Make sure you read what the garnish is. Mine had a lot of flowers that I found beautiful but I didn't particularly enjoy drinking but the actual drink was delish. Overall GREAT experience! And Hyde Park is wonderful. Our favorites were the Fish Tacos, Duck Tacos, and Pork Belly Tacos. The Falafel Taco will set your mouth on fire.

  • 3/5 Kel B. 2 years ago on Google
    I enjoyed my experience here. The environment was clean and nice music played. The menu is a QR code located on the table. The only way to place an order otherwise is to sit at the bar. We ordered food via the website. Then we enjoyed our meal.
