Bartaco Arrives in Boston’s Seaport With Dozens of Tacos | Eater Boston

"A new taqueria opened on November 20 in Boston’s Seaport (25 Thomson Pl.) as the chain’s first Massachusetts outpost, positioned to bring a cool, coastal vibe to the Fort Point/Seaport neighborhood and to introduce some Boston-specific menu items over time. The kitchen, led by local chef Carolina Curtin with sous chef Emma Kobolakis and overseen by culinary director Jonathan Rohland, emphasizes lighter, globe-spanning taco fillings drawing on Pacific Rim and Mediterranean influences—ranging from falafel and carnitas with mojo to poke and ceviche—along with dishes such as blue-corn duck-confit quesadillas, fried plantains, and sopa de pollo. The restaurant seats about 170 with a 50-person patio the team plans to use whenever weather permits, holds a full liquor license, and highlights a cocktail program that the staff touts as including “the best margaritas ever.” It is operated by Barteca, the parent company that also runs a tapas-oriented sibling brand and has been part of the Del Frisco’s group since 2017." - Dana Hatic
