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!

Kenneth Kwame Welsh: Lunch or dinner you can't go wrong! The owner and staff are out of this world. The prices are good. But the margaritas are awesome!
Vanessa Roberts: Love everything about this place! Try the chicken soup or the chicken fajita burrito. No lie - the BEST salsa I've ever had.
Creative Loafing Atlanta: The nachos compuestos are some of the best pile-on-everything-you-can nachos in Atlanta. For a full table, order the chicken chilaquiles: stale tortillas fried up and smothered with salsa.
