"Mezcal for the adults and refreshing agua frescas for kiddos — a meal at 12 South or East Nashville’s Bartaco is an easy win for everyone in the fam. Settle into a booth or table and get your little one situated with the children’s menu, which includes “not spicy” guac, mini tacos, and a tray with a quesadilla, taco, corn wheels, and a fruit skewer. Come early, though — the crowds get unruly later into the evening." - Ellen Fort
"The humming dining room might be what draws droves of people into bartaco, but the margarita likely makes them stay. Made with tequila, orange liqueur, agave syrup, and lime juice, the bartaco margarita uses simple, high-quality ingredients that pack a punch. Head to 12 South or East Nashville to find the freshest margaritas and riff-y Mexican street food — and don’t forget to try the fried plantains." - Bailee Mulder
"This laid-back, coastal-themed taco chain is a gluten-free paradise — just about the entire menu avoids gluten thanks to items like corn tortillas and fried plantains, and the few dishes that contain gluten are clearly marked. Bartaco also has dedicated gluten-free fryers to fire up if you notify staff of gluten sensitivity. Duck birria, glazed pork belly rice bowls, and icy margaritas round out the offerings at locations in 12 South and East Nashville." - Eater Staff
"With locations across 12 states, barctaco’s upscale street food is never far away. Walls recommends the Baja fish and ahi tuna tacos, which get delivered via Postmates deconstructed, so you can build them as you please." - Rebecca Strassberg
"Perpetually boisterous, the 12 South location of the Bartaco chain gives coastal vibes with its white-washed patio, bright interior, and small, street-style tacos with fillings from Baja fish to falafel. Order a tray of tacos, tangy guacamole, spicy margaritas, and other Mexico-inspired dishes like glazed pork belly rice bowls for the table." - Kellie Walton
