The Local’s Take
Street tacos by the piece, guac and fresh-squeezed margaritas at Bartaco's Five Points spot, right next door to Edley's on Woodland Street. It runs the same playbook as the 12 South original (they suggest three to five tacos a person), and the passionfruit Oaxaca is the margarita to order. Happy hour is at the bar, weekdays 3 to 6 and again for the last 90 minutes before close Monday through Thursday, with $3 small bites, $8 La Piña margaritas and four boilermakers, a PBR and a shot of Four Roses among them for $8.
