Great place! Especially for large groups as ordering is easy to do right on the phone and service is quick. I love the pork belly tacos and they have some fun mocktails. The chips are interesting because you have to break them yourselves and they don't give you much to start but you can always ask for more. I will continue to come here when I am in town for work!

We had an incredible dining experience at Bar Taco in Seaport. We got a table outside but then it started raining. Hollywood took care of us!! He found us a wonderful table inside, and checked in on us to make sure we were getting everything we needed. We'd been there before and this time was no different--great tacos, wonderful margaritas, and great service. And Hollywood--he was so nice and made sure our evening went well! We will be back!!

I really liked bartaco! I got the Paloma fresca to drink and it was very good. Then I got Baja fish tacos and crispy shrimp tacos. The tacos were very tasty! My only reason for not giving five stars was the mobile order experience. I love I good tech-integrated experience, but their system is faulty. We kept trying to add our orders from other peoples phones so we could each pay for our own stuff but we kept getting an http error, it was very annoying. If that had been working, this would have been a perfect dinner experience for me.

Great variety of tacos and even better margaritas! Loved the fish taco and pork belly. The marg definitely sneaks up on you since they're so tasty. Service was great, except they gave our tacos to the table next to us by accident and we had to wait just a little longer for ours.

This was the BEST dining experience I have ever had! Hollywood was a phenomenal waiter and the service was great! Hollywood was so good he honestly made the night. I am not usually one who writes about service but he seriously made the experience so incredible. This guy deserves a raise!! It was my fiancés birthday and he got there the full staff singing to him and he got us some amazing desserts! He went so far above and beyond he hugged my father and it brought a tear to his eye! This man is incredible and deserves a raise!!!!! Or a promotion!!! The food was also phenomenal and we lived in San Diego so we're picky about Mexican! Everything was made fresh and we got a drink with the bartender before who was also so kind! Ambiance is also great for a fun birthday out!

I absolutely LOVE this place. The first time I went was in Nashville and this is my second time, but in Boston. They're consistent with the food and service. I also love how they have a giveback program tied to their menu. If you order a certain taco, they donate part of the proceeds to a charity. They rotate the taco each time and it's noted on the menu when you order. I came for dinner around 7:45pm on Wednesday and they were decently full, but I was still able to find a spot at the bar. My server, Dani (or Danny - not sure how she spelt it) was AMAZING! She was so sweet and was so patient when I asked repetitive questions. The food and drinks. Just wow. I love the tequila and Mezcal selections they had. The flight was a great way to sample some of them. I really like how their tacos are so small and reasonably priced. Each one is like 2-3 bites and I can get multiple to try all different flavors. I also think each taco is really flavorful and doesn't even need additional sauces, though they're available if you want them.

TL;DR: These aren't hyper-traditional tacos, nor as they supposed to be. These little pieces of heaven are delicious, varied, creative, and balanced. The margaritas are also top-tier, and as fresh as they come! Great service, fair value, and an awesome vibe and location rounds out a terrific experience. ~~~ After reading one of my usually long reviews, a friend commented they are more like blog posts. Ever since, I've truly embraced that concept! Yelp is chock-full of simple and effective reviews; the kind that would make Sebastian Maniscalco* happy. These are a paragraph, maybe two, not a 18-page essay on asparagus! Maniscalco unabashedly called me out as at times I write up to the character limit! Sometimes even past it, having to trim and summarize while cursing under the my breath. So, I have some Story-Times for you: 1. When I was younger, my parents would always buy pulp free OJ. That was until one day they bought "Grovestand" loaded with it. You know something? We all loved it! 2. I have been on a quest to find the best taco in the greater Boston area. The best I've been able to come up with is in Manchester, NH (until now, hooray!). 3. I once bought one of the spicier hot sauces I saw on Hot Ones, the "Morita Bourbon Maple Reaper." Delicious and hot, but manageable, despite having reaper peppers in the mix. I say this so you get an idea of my spice tolerance. 4. I once tried a Dyson vacuum with that laser-enhanced brush head. Sounds like a gimmick - it is not. With that out of the way, onwards! First, the margaritas: I had the opportunity to try the regular and spicy Bartaco Margarita. I thought the limes being squeezed in front of you was a gimmick, it is not. This makes the drinks as fresh as they get, and the teeny bit of lime pulp that makes it in adds to the freshness. The margs themselves were top-notch! They were superbly balanced in all domains. The house tequila they use was smooth as silk. I didn't *think* these were too boozy, until I felt like dancing on the bar top after one (slight exaggeration, but you get my drift). Final note: the spicy margarita is properly spicy - I am not saying you cannot handle it, but I am saying this is not for the faint of heart and/or those who think green Cholula is hot. Then there were the tacos - I will [uncharacteristically] spare you from agonizing detail on each of the eight tacos I ate. However, I will say these were all distinct, interesting, creative, and of course, mouthwateringly flavorsome! The protein is not skimped on, nor is it falling out. Similar to the spicy marg, the spicy ones were fire! I mean.... can I get a glass of milk, please?! (j/k - but not really). My only critique is that in the pork belly taco, while delicious, the protein was a little tough. Otherwise, all around fantastic, and I didn't even reach for the homemade hot sauces. There is a time and place for authentic, meat/onion/cilantro tacos. However, sometimes you want something a little more fun, and this is the case with Bartaco. Speaking of fun, the location is modern and hip, and despite being very busy, the service is kind, attentive, and speedy. A great atmosphere for a Friday night without having to bring earplugs. I'm not about the club scene, anyway. As for value, while $3-4 per taco is not the cheapest around, the eight tacos I ate (a large helping, if I say so myself) came out to ~$30. Not at all bad for the quality and location! Similar with the margaritas, $13.50 in light of everything seems more than reasonable! * No shade intended, he is genuinely hilarious, and can call me and my antics out any day the week.

I've been to Bartaco a handful of times over the last few years, and it never seems to disappoint. It's a good spot for just about any occasion. I've been for birthday dinners, a graduation party, and a coworker holiday lunch. During weekday lunch, it's definitely more of a corporate crowd, but on the weekends/eveningw, it's more of a mix. The food is very solid, and there are lots of options. Mexican isn't exactly the greatest in Boston, so that makes this place and easy win. If you're going for the tacos, make sure to order a few, because they're on the smaller side. Love that they have funky options like glazed pork belly and tuna tatako. I'm sure I'll be back!
