“Great food and cocktails! Consistently delicious. Frequent menu additions/changes. Great happy hour. The passion fruit margarita is the perfect summer drink. Some of the best small plates anywhere. The guacamole, gambas and brussels sprouts are a must as well as the pollo chacha. Friendly staff, fun atmosphere and very clean. Great place for a celebration!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this exceptional restaurant, and I must say, the food totally blew me away. I’m sad that it’s so far from where I live.The eggplant, Vietnamese crispy roll, and hot oil dumplings were particularly impressive. The rolls boasted a perfect balance of crispy texture and flavorful pork filling, while the dumplings were generously stuffed and perfectly sized. The adjustment of the hot sauce to suit local tastes was executed skillfully, without compromising too much of the authentic flavors.The deep-fried eggplant retained its vibrant purple color and shape, with flavors and fragrance concentrated beautifully on the surface. However, the highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the Pho Tai. Served with tender beef cut exactly as it is in Hanoi, Vietnam, it showcased the chef's dedication to authenticity and quality ingredients.The Char Kway Teow demonstrated exceptional wok skills, with evenly distributed sauces coating the wide noodles, delivering an authentic flavor experience. It's evident that the chefs take great pride in their craft.Not only was the food outstanding, but the service was also impeccable. The staff were welcoming and attentive, ensuring a memorable dining experience from start to finish.“

“Food was great. Amazing octopus. We had several small plates based on our server’s suggestions, which were spot on. Had 2 different types of “gintonics” which were great. The music was a little off (loud rap, not in keeping with the vibe), but everything else was fantastic!“

Chicken Parmigiana Panini

“We dined here on a Friday night at 6:30 and place was 80%filled by 7:00. Service was very friendly and efficient. Appetizers of grilled and fried calamari were very good. The 14.95 size was very adequate for 2-3 people. Drinks were excellent also. Main course of veal very good, but bourbon cream sauce had a bit too much bourbon, leaving a bitter taste. Noice level particularly loud probably related to hard wood floor. Overall, pretty solid intimate restaurant with a seemingly loyal clientele.“

“Easy to make a reservation on a Friday night. The Hostess sat us right away and our Server was punctual in greeting us and taking drink orders. The drinks were well-balanced, not too sweet. We specifically enjoyed the White Bronco. The deviled eggs, pickles vegetables, chicken wings (chipotle honey), hush puppies, and chopped salad with chicken were all delicious. Our server was very attentive the entire evening and we felt very welcome and not rushed even towards closing. Thank you!“

“By far the best restaurant I’ve ever been in Connecticut. I’m a local, I’m a foodie, I love going around and trying everything. I’m Brazilian, my friend is Moroccan, and we’ve also extensively traveled in our countries. We both agreed, never tried food as delicious as a bartaco’s.The Poké bowl is delicious, but my personal preference is the pork belly taco. I get six every time I go there.Fun fact, if you get the press, leches cake, they’ll actually give you a lid to close the jar if you don’t finish all of it. I dream about that cake sometimes.Also, I work in the industry, and every chef I’ve ever met, has good things to say about that place.“
