Adam Gambrel: The pork belly taco is delicious but so is the carnitas, short rib and fish tacos :)
Jihyun Oh: Duck, Baja fish, & Fried oyster tacos - delicious. If you don't like salt, beware the sesame steak; there's a lot of soy sauce there. Fans of more traditional pork al pastor may not like bartaco's.
Phil B: Unless you like cheese on your corn on the cob don't get it. Other than that great 2 bite tacos!
