Well curated tacos. Love that they always have different items on the menu! Margs are top-tier! The atmosphere is also very fun and vibrant. Sam goes above and beyond caring for us and his guests. Always fills us in on new items, offers us thoughtful recommendations based on what we like, and checks to make sure our orders are perfect. He’s attentive, personable, and genuinely makes you feel welcome!! He is one of the biggest reason we have become weekly regulars. Even after moving out of the city, we make the commute for good tacos, and good company. And of course, we always ask to be seated in Sam’s section. He sets the gold standard for service!! Food is awesome, service is exceptional!

We love the mojitos and can’t get over how cute the whole vibe is in the restaurant. Max was our waiter and he made our experience even better!! Such great service! 10/10 from me!!

I had a great experience with BarTaco on a corporate catering order from the Lohi location. Jordan & Theresa helped me through the planning and ordering process which included updating our order for an increased group size about a week before the event. The food was delivered on time and the presentation was great. I appreciated all of the extra sides, serving utensils, and the branding on the taco boxes made a drop off order feel more elevated in terms of presentation. The quantity of each box was very generous. Portions on the proteins and tortillas were great. And the chips and guac were also a big hit. Will absolutely keep this team in mind for future catering needs. Thank you!

This restaurant style is a little bit different but everything about it was amazing. Great atmosphere, amazingly delicious food, and our server Matt was super attentive and nice. I love the concept of having a card at the table to "put up" so the server knows you need something. Makes having intimate conversations easy and you don't have to worry about being interrupted when you're on the middle of a conversation. So many tequilas to choose from as well. If I lived in the area this would be a regular spot.
