Bartaco - Orlando

First off, I have to say that at the end of our meal when we learned Bartaco was a chain with locations near where many of us lived, our group was all very excited. I got a chance to go to Bartaco while on a work trip with colleagues from all over the country, the set up with ordering in your phone makes it very easy to go with a big group. We were hungry and ended up with more food than we needed as we all ordered several things to share with the table too. The gauc, salsas, and ceviche were all great and a nice complement to our tacos. We also tied several cocktails all flavorful and creative. The highlight was definitely the tacos though - both traditional taco flavors and more fusion choices were on offer. The chile lime shrimp and hot butter lobster were big hits across the board. The prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is modern and welcoming. While there is not a Bartaco in my city, I'm willing to travel to try it again.

White people tacos. i know im a white guy but lets be honest, our take on these foods are horrible, we should leave it to the expertsTerrible ordering experience Go to Tortas El Ray on OBT for the most solid taco or theres a pop up called overthebordertaqueria thats their instagram. Your welcome for the plug, if you want to live the rest of your life being a tourist in a town where half the people already come from driving on the left side of the road, then eat bartaco lol.

We frequent Bartaco pretty often so I figured it was finally time to write a review! First Impressions: Bartaco is our go-to when we're looking for something in between fast food and sit down. It can be as long or short of an experience as you make it for the most part-- you order via QR code, but the employees are happy to help out with any questions! They're always very kind upon greeting and can be flagged down using the little blue card at your table. If it's your first time here, make sure they know so you get the run down!Ordering: My cell service never works here so I'm grateful they've got WiFi to browse the menu! The ordering system also makes it super easy when you've got a big group-- no need to worry about Venmo-ing people since you can all make your own orders. You'll get your food in the order that it's made-- sometimes things take a bit longer than I'd like, but it's never too jarring.The Food: Don't miss their chips and salsa! Seriously, this is what keeps us coming back-- we are fans of both the red and the green salsa, and the chips are delicious too! We usually do a large trio and take home the leftovers to munch on the next day. I also love their lemonade and limeade. They're small but reasonably priced and made fresh! The tacos are pretty standard but small. I tried the Sinaloa Taco tonight and was a little disappointed-- the flavors were bland and the texture was off. But the fish taco was good as always! My husband had the shrimp taco and said he'd skip it next time. I feel like the quality has gone down a bit since the last time we visited, but it could've been a fluke!The Vibe: The restaurant gets pretty loud so it's not great for quiet conversation, but the large booths are great for groups!

Um Wow! Unexpected Gem!This place was a real find! Service was super efficient - we scanned a QR code and placed our order right from the table. No waiting around for a server, and everything came out quickly. I opted for the lunch special with 3 tacos (Pistachio Cauliflower Taco, sinaloa chicken taco, spiced chicken verde and chicken tortilla soup, plus fresh lemonade, guac & chips.The flavors were incredible, everything tasted super fresh. However, be warned - the spice level was definitely higher than I anticipated. (THIS IS PERSONAL THOUGH, I AM VERY SENSITIVE TO SPICE. Even the guac had a kick! I'm not usually a fan of spicy food, so it would have been helpful to have a spice level indicator on the menu.The ambiance was cool as well, mellow. Despite the heat, it was delicious. I'm already planning a return trip this weekend LOL!!! * I forgot to take photos of the tacos LOL I was starving. *

This is a good modern take on a lot of tacos. The one thing I didn't like was that the whole tables tacos came out on the same plate. This made it difficult to divide up to people, especially when you have a larger group. It is especially difficult when the vegetarian options are not separated.There is a little flag you can put up if your table needs service which is a great thing to have instead of waiting on a waiter.

Recently, we went to Bartaco for a quick pick-up order. My wife recently had the gluten-free rice bowl with pork belly. She doubles the meat as it is always a good protein and much more plentiful when you double it and it doesn't cost that much. Just a little bit rice heavy; but that's OK. Still tasty and A+ and always gluten-free.

The other night I spent a lovely evening dining at Bartaco at the bar. Normally their bar is open seating so I don't grab a table. I ordered the beef rice bowl with kimchi and the veggies on top. My favorite type of kimchi is either fresh or at Bartaco. I also decided to get myself a drink I got the Orange crush drink. However something happened to my order and they accidentally gave me a taco and a side of kimchi; however that was the bartenders mistake so they took that off my bill. I also got the spicy cucumbers they are so refreshing and so delicious. I went maybe around 645 to 7 o'clock; it wasn't as busy but it was pretty packed. If you haven't been here I definitely recommend it it is in Dr. Phillips next to Domu.

One of the best taco dinners I've ever had! I sat at the bar since I was dining solo. The bartender was so friendly. He actually ended up ordering me one glazed pork belly taco and it ended up being my favorite even though I don't normally like pork unless it's Al Pastor. The glazed pork belly was sweet and savory and so yummy! I also ordered the spiced chicken verde which was my second favorite. It was tangy and fresh! The sesame ribeye is the only one I wouldn't order again. Don't get me wrong, it was good and unique. But a little too unique. it was a blend of Asian and Mexican and it just didn't quite work for my palate. I absolutely love this restaurant and am pleased to see they have one near me. I was visiting Orlando for a conference and this was my first stop. What a way to be welcomed to Orlando! Yum all around!

Phenomenal food with high quality ingredients! SOOOOO impressed with each order and consistency in flavors each visit to Orlando! Favorite orders: plantains, trio (chips/salsa (red and green) with guacamole) and a MUST HAVE is the pineapple/ habanero salsa! Thank you Karyssa for your kindness and making things wonderful.

We love to eat at Bartaco whenever possible!! Food is always spot on, drinks are delicious and staff is fantastic. We did have a bit of an issue with the ordering because it's all done on your phone but nonetheless, we all enjoyed our food & drinks and staff was there to help and refill drinks promptly!
