Reviews for bartaco in Boston, MA
A favorite! Lovely, chill vibes (kinda romantic), great food, good prices. We got seated immediately to a table on a weekday... night. There was a library with books next to our table (nice touch). Service was immediate, food was great. You pay digitallywithout waiting to call a server and pay. Highly recommend. Read more
I’ve been here twice with very different experiences, so this is the average score that I would give. Short version: sit in,... don’t order takeaway. Longer version: The first time I ordered from here, I had never been before so I didn’t know youwere supposed to order online or through their app and just show up to pick it up. So I walked to the back of the bar andordered my food with the server there. I had a simple order (just me, just one rice bowl with tuna) but I had to wait for 40minutes to get my food. At least 10 others came by to collect their order, and the kitchen was super busy… but what botheredme was that people who showed up to dine in got their food before me despite ordering first and waiting patiently for it. Inthe end, the server who took my order went back to check on my food. She brought it out after some prodding, I guess, but myfood was cold. I asked her about it and she said that it would go cold anyway when I left so I should reheat it at home.Otherwise I’d have to wait in line again, which she wouldn’t recommend. It was overall a very annoying and frustratingexperience that I would have rated 1 star. The second time that I came here, I dined in and sat at the bar with a friend. Wewere greeted by the nicest bartender who took our drink orders and had them ready by the time we had decided on food. We ordered3 tacos each and they came out before we even took a second sip of our drinks. The food was delicious (and hot!) and we chattedwith some of the wait staff who were hanging around. Super easy this time around in every way, I would’ve gone over 5 stars ifI could. They even gave me some taco recipes and drink and taco pairing ideas because I said I wanted to recreate the flavourpalette at home! Read more
I love how this place is set up and the process for ordering food is very convenient. I also enjoy the drinks here especially... the spicy Margarita. The food was pretty good except I was not a fan of the street corn. I also wish there was a bit more flavorin the fish taco. I do recommend the shrimp taco if you like spicy food. The tuna taco was my favorite! Read more
FOOD IS DELICIOUS! The drinks are great (& strong) as well. Highly recommend the pork belly tacos - but try a little bit of... everything. Their churros were delicious too! The only thing you have to be careful of is the line - it can be CRAZY busy in theevenings & I have been turned away before. Lunch or early dinner - this place is great. The tacos are well priced individually,but be careful before you order too many & your bill will rise fast. Read more
This is an awesome place to chill after long day of work in sea port district Boston. Their bite size tacos are amazing. They... created a fusion of Mediterranean and Mexican cusine by wrapping falafel in taco wrap. Their 3 dip and chips is also prettynice in taste. The staff is very young and helpful. Read more
BEST FISH TACOS IN BOSTON. I said it. I order at least 6 fish tacos per order, and at their prices, it's a downright... steal! Oh, and also get a pitcher of iced tea lemonade (an Arnold Palmer for you educated folks) for only $4, an appetizer ofdelicious citrus-y cerviche, and their amazing guacamole and chips. An interesting fact: their decor is made up of old booksand magazines from the 1960's. So, if you want incredible reading material of National Geographic magazines from the 60's and70's, check out their bookshelves! They even have a lineup of hot sauce. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of all their saucessince they're a bit heavy on the vinegar, but I do enjoy their mango habanero hot sauce. Read more
Amazing place! From the moment I walked in I was captivated and delighted. Cozy warm wood and wicker accents and amber lighting... made it feel comfortable and casual. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was buzzing with conversation and laughter. Freshsqueezed limes and other fruits are the ingredients in their cocktails and the staff was diligent to keep the supply stocked. Idecided to order the chicken, fish, steak, pork belly, and duck tacos and boy were they delicious! I had a side of the corn onthe cob coated in cotjia, Cayenne, and lime and it too was amazing. All in all, from the atmosphere, to the friendly and hardworking staff, to amazing food, this place must be in your plans while in Boston (or if u live here a regular fave)! Read more
