Bartaco in Orlando is my go-to spot for tacos, and it never disappoints.
Food: consistency is key and Bartaco does it right. I've been here a handful of times and in all of them had tasty tacos made with fresh ingredients. I've tried the Baja Fish, Spiced Chicken Verde, Cauliflower, Tuna Tatako, Sesame Ribeye, Glazed Pork Belly and Roasted Duck. They are all great but the Baja Fish (super crispy crust and light, flavorful fish) and the Glazed Pork Belly (indulgent and filling) are my all-time favorites.
Drinks: they have fantastic margaritas, sangrias, and "beach-inspired" cocktails. As a Brazilian, I highly recommend their capirinha. Caipirinha sanguina (cachaca-based cocktail with blood orange, lime, and sugar) is currently on their seasonal drinks menu alongside hibiscus mezcalita and lilikoi daiquiri.
Ambiance: one of my favorite things about this chain is its coastal boho decoration. The color pattern, the furniture, the paintings, the books... it all creates an atmosphere reminiscent of a visit to a rich friend's beach house in Santa Monica. I also love the fact that they have 3 seating options - bar, patio, and booths - I've been to all and love the fact that I can have a somewhat different experience than the previous time by moving from one to another at each visit.
Service: consistently excellent, leaving no room for complaints.
