Bar taco is reasonably priced – and that is the extent to which I can endorse this place, as neither quality nor service merit a return visit. First the food, which is like taco bell in miniature. Imagine a taco but smaller – much smaller – like a taco on the molecular level. You will need many, many tacos to leave this place satisfied, and if they were high quality the pigmy tacos would be far less disappointing. Unfortunately, quality is also lacking. I say this after sampling countless mini-tacos, including the “surprise taco” (not surprisingly, this taco also failed).Drinks were tasty but took eons to arrive, which brings me to the service. All of our servers were cheerful and pleasant, but the vast number of them created difficultly. Apparently, servers are not assigned specific tables. You will likely encounter 5 to 10 different servers throughout your mini meal because they are all serving the entire restaurant, meaning none of them are particularly invested in your dinner. Because everyone owns your table, nobody really owns your table. Food also comes out when it is ready, which works for family style restaurants but sadly breaks down in the mini taco world. I went with a group of 7, and some of us got our fill of mini tacos before others had gotten anything.

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.

Our favorite place to eat.Kid-friendliness: They are so good with kids. They usually have whole coloring books and crayons. They also have great kid options on the menu. 20 out 5 stars.
Love the one in Port Chester, but this is NOT Port Chester. They gave me a hard time about ordering a drink not on the menu, the taco selection was just weird (normally it is interesting and eclectic), but this was not good.
Food and salsas and guacamole always a hit. No complaints on food or service. Sat in heated tent at lunch still need to dress warmly but overall great lunch. Love the tacos.
Great place to go for quality food, drinks, and service. Will definitely

Ambiance and location are the pros. The cons - food and service. Portions are tiny. I prefer smaller portions rather than having leftovers that go to waste. But these leave you feeling unsatisfied. Quality and taste just okay. Overall, food is overpriced. Service...what service? You practically seat yourself, figure out how to order and then actually do the ordering. The only thing server did was open an overpriced glass bottle of coke. I didn't even have the same server the entire time. Overall, sad to say that it is overrated.

Good tacos. Some are kinda hot so be careful if you have kids or a sensitive palate. The ambiance is nice, but incredibly loud. You have to scream to whomever you're eating with, so we stopped going. They could really use some autistic tiles or something.

Love the food here. Good soft tortilla tacos. Vegetarian options abound.

The location is very nice. It’s definitely a family friendly restaurant. The kinds menu offers great healthy choices for kids. The food is good but it’s a bit pricey.
