Bartaco - Arlington

This was my first time at this restaurant and it was average. I had a negative customer experience. The QR menu should be offered as an option, but I don't think it should be mandatory. It took two of us some time to figure out how to use the mobile menu system. I expected a smoother customer experience. There were no complimentary chips and salsa, which I believe should be a standard. The tacos were okay, but they were on the smaller side. The spicy chicken taco was delicious. The secret zucchini was decent, with a hint of sweetness from the maissalsa. The service was nice overall. In conclusion, it is a decent place.

Finding this restaurant for the first time in this shopping area may be a bit challenging. After parking in the garage, I had to make a few u-turns following Google directions. However, once you locate the spot, it is a trendy hangout spot with great food and drink presentation, perfect music, and a beautiful ambiance. I attended as a photographer for a Yelp event and found the staff to be friendly and welcoming.

Came here for drinks and some food on a Saturday afternoon. The place wasn’t too busy, we sat at the bar. The music pumping from the large speakers over the bar was way too loud but we figured we’d give it a chance. The bartenders were friendly and went over the ordering process with us. The food was a little mixed but overall good. The chicken tacos were amazing, as were the shrimp, but the “ribeye” (shredded sirloin is more likely) was over sauced and yet also dry same for the pork belly. The margaritas were very sweet despite asking them to cut the agave. The second round we asked them for no agave and got a $12.50 glass of lime juice. I’d stick to beer here and make the cocktails at home.

I already love Bartaco, it’s one of my favorites. Everything I eat there is fresh and delicious and there is something for everyone. On top of that, every single staff person that I have interacted with has been fantastic. Today, they proved that their customer service is on another level though. The actions taken to correct an error on my pick up order were above and beyond anything I would have ever expected. If you are craving a delicious meal and wonderful service, there is no question that this would be an excellent choice. They also have delicious margaritas!

I didn't have high expectations for this restaurant, but I was pleasantly surprised. The tacos were delicious, with well-seasoned chopped chicken breast instead of pulled meat. All the ingredients were fresh, and the service was excellent. You can order everything through a QR code, which is convenient if you want to add more tacos. I also really enjoyed my grapefruit drink.
