About
Bartaco's 12 South location is perpetually packed and for good reason. The street-style tacos are fresh, the guac is perfect, and the frozen passion fruit margarita is dangerous. The breezy open-air design makes it feel like a beach vacation. Bring cash for the tips jar and patience for the wait.
