Our recent experience at bartaco was nothing short of fantastic! From the moment we placed our order using the convenient phone app, to the moment our dishes arrived, everything was seamless and enjoyable. The tacos, guacamole and chips, street corn, and fried plantains were all incredibly flavorful and delicious. Each dish was a true representation of good flavors. What truly stood out was the ease and speed of placing the order from our phone, and the order arrived exactly as we had requested. bartaco exceeded our expectations in every way, providing not only a delectable dining experience but also an efficient and hassle-free process. We can’t wait to return for another round of culinary delight!

Came here on a Thursday evening and got seated immediately. We absolutely loved the ambiance, there was indoor and outdoor seating but all the windows were open so inside was perfect. Not a ton of options for different taco flavors. Tried several different tacos and they were fairly small and didn’t have much on them but not bad for the price, some of them fell apart as you ate them which made things difficult. The drinks were good as well. Favorite taco of the night was the chicken verde, and the sangria and no-hito were so tasty. No free chips and salsa before the meal which was sort of disappointing.

I was in a group of 8 when we came last year and they were able to seat us right away. It was our first time there so our… waiter? had to explain to us that everything is ordered via their QR code. (If I recall correctly, this waiter wasn’t actually the one giving us our food when it was ready either, it was kitchen workers. It’s like he was there just to teach customers how to use the QR code and app.) With such a large table and everyone being unsure of how to order, it would have definitely been quicker and more efficient if the waiter had actually took our order traditionally, instead of having to explain it to us in smaller groups because it was hard to hear. We wanted to pay separately and the waiter had us scanning the code off one of our friend’s phone (so that the food would arrive at the same table?) and it was just a massive hassle, until we learned we can each scan the code on our individual phones instead.

The service was incredible! Staff were very welcoming and sweet. Everything was just organized from the way you order, to paying for your food, and even the way they ask you to call for your server in case of any questions.

I honestly didn’t have high expectations for this place, but I was wrong. The tacos are actually good. I had the chicken, I like that it wasn’t pulled chicken but actual chopped chicken breast and well seasoned. All the ingredients were fresh and the service was really good. Everything can be ordered via QR code so you can add tacos whenever you want. I really enjoyed my grapefruit drink as well.

Foods taste so good but the portion was so small. Shared food was very necessary. Personally, oyster and duck tacos were really good. Tres leches cake was also very delicious. Strongly recommend iced tea, too. I wouldnt order shrimp taco again.

I really love this restaurant. My friend and I came here on a Saturday night and sat at the bar. The bartender and all staff were great and super friendly. There is outdoor and indoor seating as well. We had a mixture of tacos. I like that the tacos have a play on other genres of food. Everything is always super fresh. Prices are very reasonable. Drinks are ~12.00, their margarita is one of my favorites. Tacos are about $3.50 a piece and 1-2 bites, more of a small plate. Sides range from 3-5+. Overall, i really enjoy this restaurant. The food is fresh and delicious and the vibe is laid back. I would highly recommend to anyone in a Ballston area

It was my first time visiting restaurant and it was okay. Negative – customer experience. The QR menu should be an option, but not mandatory in my opinion. It took two of us to figure out how to use the mobile menu system. I expect a smoother customer experience. No complementary chips and salsa. Again, I think this should be a standard. Tacos were okay. They are small street tacos. The spicy chicken was tasty. The secret zucchini was decent. It has a sweetnesses from the corn salsa. Nice service overall. Overall, it’s a decent spot.
