Great restaurant for Mexican food in Madison. Fusion menu with Mexican based menu. Tacos and rice bowls with plenty of add on options. The tacos are a bit small. Service was friendly and good with outdoor sitting available. Nice relaxing ambience. Nice decor inside

Wow — What a neat tasting experience bartaco creates for their guests! Reasonably priced tacos, portioned perfectly to allow the opportunity for guest to taste a variety of menu items. Their online ordering system is designed to give guests the flexibility to purchase additional items as they saw fit! Really liked the sesame ribeye taco and want another? Sounds good! Add it to your digital tab! Don’t sleep on the guacamole; it was so simple, yet a flavorful bit. If you’re looking for a palate cleanser, the caipirinha was a well crafted cocktail.

Shoutout to Evelyn! Thanks for the awesome service. It was our first time here and we will be back! Incredible food with great flavor. Again, service was on point. Friendly and chill atmosphere. Thanks so much for being dog friendly and immediately bringing our pup ice cold water. So kind. <3

Absolutely great food! First time visiting and will surely return. Food was fresh and came quickly upon ordering. We were properly instructed on the ordering process and should not be of any difficulty for anyone. Even though we had a few “first timer” questions our server was more than willing to go through and explain everything to us. She was absolutely patient with us which helped as well. Fresh fruits are used in the cocktails which is a rarity for most businesses. They offer numerous healthy options and the ability to deeply customize your meal to your specific liking. The dining atmosphere gives off this beachside California vibe. Really chill place, clean establishment, and friendly staff!

Great lunch experience. You order based on a QR code menu. We ordered Street Corn Fritters for an appetizer. Main was two Lobster, two Duck, one Chorizo and one Cauliflower taco. We were told the Lobster taco was from their secret menu. To drink, a Pomegranate Limonata. Nothing here was a disappointment. The Corn Fritters were really good. I expected some more cakey. These Fritters oozed a nice cheesy bite!

It is always a treat to walk around Hilldale, and this place is an awesome fit. The food was great and the vibe was comforting. You get seated and there’s a QR code to order and pay. The only interactions we had with dtaff was when they would bring out the food so for me thats nice, dont want to be stuffing my face when they come around asking how was the 1st bite and I’m on my 2nd plate. I ordered the fried oyster, pork belly, and sirloin tacos. They’re affordable, so we just kept ordering! Definitely coming back
