The Local’s Take

“Breezy taco-stand meets cocktail bar”

Bartaco's 12 South location is perpetually packed and for good reason. The street-style tacos are fresh, the guac is perfect, and the passionfruit Oaxaca margarita is dangerous. The breezy open-air design makes it feel like a beach vacation. Bring a card (it's cashless) and patience for the wait.
