Is the weather nice? Yes. Would you like a drink? Yes. Let’s go to bartaco!
Okay, that might not be exactly how every bartaco related conversation goes, but it is certainly close. Whether you get to sit outside on the Byram River, or if you are surrounded by the nautically themed inside, you are sure to enjoy bartaco. How can you pass up the chance to be served by a small army of blue plaid wearers and dragonfly signaling cards?
The tacos are very tasty and there are not so common options, making the experience that much more fun. Granted, if you do not like raw onions, you should certainly note that on your card. (As for cards, that is how you order your food.) I personally like the beef and the spicy chorizo. Generally, at least one pork al pastor gets ordered for Chris and me, too. The chopped salad is flavorful, as are the quesadillas.
If you’re looking for something more substantial, go for the rice bowl. The rice and meat are flavorful and it is a bit heavier. All that said, no trip to bartaco would be complete without at least two orders of gorditas. The sauce they come with is beyond tasty and I only wish they sold it.
Okay, that was a bit about the food, but let’s shifts over to the drinks. A little while ago, Chris and I were lucky enough to take a tequila class where Gretchen Thomas walked you through a few of the drinks after providing background information. The bartaco margarita is fantastic. If you are lucky enough to sit at the bar, you can watch the formidable bar staff fresh pull the ingredients that go into the drinks. The azteca and rosita were both fine options.
Generally, Chris and I stick with mojitos (or margaritas for me). They strain their mojitos, but if you ask they will leave the mint in there for your enjoyment. Chris was a great bartender and he addressed us (aka the fourth wall), even when it got busy. We chatted about a variety of things as he pulled drinks and served up the tasty snacks!
Bartaco is a great spot for a snack, dinner, or drinks. The fresh ingredients make everything special. The atmosphere is fun, even though everyone takes their roles seriously. I would highly recommend, but it gets very crowded, especially when it is nice out!
