What a great, fun spot with a cool vibe and concept. The greeter was so happy and really seemed to enjoy his job. Make reservations if you can, though we only waited about 30 minutes on a Saturday around noon. Shops are close by if you want to spend a few minutes until they call you. There are two ways to order... On your phone or via a paper menu. We used the phone and drinks and food were delivered directly to you. My favorites were the ceviche (appetizer) and pork belly tacos!
This is an interesting restaurant indeed. I think I might be getting old as I didn’t quite understand the concept. The tacos were delicious and served well. We were seated at these tables that were knee high which I didn’t quite get. Definitely seems like a trendy place to have drinks with friends. My girl loves this place so we’ll probably be back. It probably would of been better if I actually drank alcohol but whatever, still a neat restaurant.
The food was amazing!! The ability to order individually on your smart phone was very convenient when having separate checks at one table. Additionally, when ordering on your phone, you can customize your order privately vs announcing it to the whole table when speaking to a waiter. I would highly recommend this place!!
Great atmosphere! Excellent service! I tried three different tacos and they were delicious! Three sauces are amazing! Highly recommend such a great spot!
Great location, clean and a wonderful experience overall. I loved the way you order from your phone as you want more. No more waiting for staff! Drinks were amazing as was the food. We had several types of Tacos and Guac and chips. The staff was wonderful. The only issue we had was the guy sitting next to us was a Bro guy. You know every third word is Bro and every sentence the F-bomb was used and of course he is loud. The atmosphere was a 4 star only because I would like to see more restaurants ask these guys to clean up their language or leave. We had a Bro at every restaurant this week in Tampa. Anywho, this is a wonderful restaurant and definitely a destination spot! If in Tampa do not miss it!
BAR! taco!! So yum oh my gosh. First off, the vibes? Yes I felt like I was in cali eating near the beach. We sat inside which was a little noisy but also we were right next to the bar so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ could sit outside if you mind. The waitress and staff were so nice! They gave recommendations and actually cared what we thought of the food. They also asked about dietary restrictions which the menu talks about. All tacos are on corn tortillas so gluten girlies were good to go. The food itself was SO yum. Although don’t waste your money on the avocado/Guac appetizer it was literally mashed up avocado? Not guac? Highly recommend trying 3 or 4 tacos tho to get all the flavors. They’re small like they say which I love because I usually get stuffed by the two tortilla thing. I got the Ribeye, Lobster ($7 not $4 like the other fyi, and the Baja fish. Baja was my fav of that round but then I got the pork belly thank GOD. So yum melting in my mouth the sauce was immaculate. The Chile lime shrimp (my friend got) is VERY spicy so watch out. Overall, loved our experience. Would be back if I’m in town again.
My mom & I came here to celebrate National daughters day and bartaco did not disappoint! I love how convenient the QR ordering was and the staff that did approach us answered all of my moms questions about navigating the menu as someone with celiacs. I will definitely be back!
So this was a wonderful experience.
The staff was great and our waitress (Amanda)was totally awesome. This was the first time here and she took the time to explain everything. I wish she worked at every place we went. The food was good and there were plenty of options.
Enjoyed the fresh squeezed juice in the margaritas and the homemade salsa Verde. My daughter is vegan and has many options for dining.
Hands down for the food! We had chorizo, ribeye, pork belly and fish tacos and ALL of them were unbelievable!! Service wasn’t good. Was our first time and me and my husband had to figure out how the restaurant works because you don’t have a server taking care of your table. Manager came by and she was the one who helped us (really nice young girl) we’ll be back for food!
Great place. The overly-modernized menu has a lot of flaws though. We had a few discrepancies and the table next to us had an issue as well. Great crew and fun hosts up front but they should bring back a traditional menu and server to the tables.
Damn @bartaco is AMAZING! Get a load of these tacos!!! I havent been here in years and now Im mad at myself about it. Roasted duck, sesame ribeye and pork belly tacos! Phenom
Great and quick place to dine! The food is yummy! I recommend the plantains, tortilla soup, pork belly tacos and just about everything else. The food comes out quickly; which I appreciate since I'm usually dining with my young children. Also, I've never had to wait longer than 15 minutes to be seated, I think that's fair for such a popular restaurant.
Bartaco is one of our happy places in Hyde Park! I always, without fail start off with their freshly made Bartaco margaritas and fresh guacamole. When Covid hit and it was closed I missed them so much I found out their recipe to make at home LOL. Only 4 ingredients all fresh!! Another delicious one that has been my new favorite is their Mezcal margarita, YUM! The vibe reminds me of a more coastal than Mexican restaurant which I dig and the staff is always friendly and attentive. I also love that the food prices are very reasonable. Most dishes are more tapas style (tacos are about two bites). Which allows you to be able to try multiple items cheaply. I do recommend reservations depending on the time and day that you are going. They do get very busy. So when in Hyde Park on a date or just chilling with your friends stop in relax and have a margarita!

Salute... Pura Vida ... Biba Dushi!!
I had a good experience.The food and drinks are a bit pricey for the portion sizes. I like the concept of ordering your food via app. The food was ready in less than 10min of me ordering. All of the food tasted fresh. Let me you tell you, if you eat pork.....get the pork belly taco. It's amazing!! I'm definitely going back for more pork belly tacos. I had the key lime pie for dessert. It was very satisfying.
Stephanie is the best bartender! We stepped in last minute and we were so happy to meet her. She is so sweet and cares about her guests and the quality of the drinks she makes. The fresh juice that is squeezed for every drink makes such a difference. Cannot wait to go back there!
Spent $78 for 11 tacos and two drinks for two people. The most I have spent on taco dinner..
Tacos are very small..
Very interesting concept in ordering food, and I loved it!! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was perfect! I can see why this place stays packed all day!! My fried oyster tacos were full of flavor!! I wanted to order 10 of them!! Lol! I will try the rice bowls and other tacos when I return! The menu was full of food for everyone, we happened to have our 11 year old with us, and he enjoyed the kid taco plate!
