Bartaco

Cool place. Great margarita. Almost everything is gf and servers know it. Ordering and payment via QR code on table.

I had to ask twice if the battered and deep fried oyster taco and fish taco were gf. Both times the server confirms gf (they tasted great- I’ll amend the review if symptoms of exposure develop).

Overall great experience. Highly recommend

I ordered to go. I order the duck roasted tacos, they didn’t come as advertised they were supposed to come with caramelized onions which I love. I didn’t get that I got raw onions. Also my duck was spicy, I ordered it because it was one of the ones on the menu that wasn’t. I now have a burning mouth and have basically wasted money. Mom got the Baja fish and wasn’t happy either.

Not all menu items are GF (e.g. the duck birra is no longer GF). Ordered the steak taco, chicken taco, and a margarita and am currently having a reaction. There are some things here that are GF, but you need to be really careful.

Delicious menu and almost all GF! They mark which items have gluten in them, which are very few.

Food is great and safe but the atmosphere was painful, and I don't recommend taking children or anyone sensitive to loud noises here. They blast super loud music and the priority is drinks, not the food which is ordered a la carte.

You use an app to order the food and there are no waiters. This made things like asking for cheese for my daughter's taco weird, because you flag down the hostess who seated you with a little cards. No one will check on you or make rounds like a normal restaurant. Water was scarce and they give you a tiny pitcher for tiny glasses. Again, they want you to order drinks and little tacos for a couple hours.

The tacos were yummy and you can get corn tortillas or a lettuce wrap.

Super yummy food! I had tacos and a bowl. Highly recommend the Brussels sprouts. When you order on your phone, you can check off that you have a “gluten allergy”. Lots of options!

Excellent food 90% of the food is gluten free. I pigged out on 7 tacos and no celiac reaction (they are small street style tacos with a gourmet twist) It’s so hard to find truly gluten free great Mexican food - highly recommended BarTaco.

The food was delicious and the manager couldn’t be nicer when I explained that I have celiac. He not only told me that the menu is 90% GF but proceeded to quadruple check about a food I wanted to eat that he wasn’t sure about! I felt totally safe eating here and can’t wait to come back :)

All ordering done with an app on your phone where you can make any modifications you need. Another neat feature is that you can order at any point, so if you decide to get another taco mid-meal it'll come out right away.

Awesome experience. I will keep on coming back.

Bartaco continues to be reliable! I’ve eaten at the chain in a handful of different states, and I’ve never had a problem. They make it easy to flag your order as a gluten allergy when you order online. Atlanta has 3 locations, and I would trust any of them. I love the taco packs for sharing! Just wish they would make crema and cotija available as add-ons. Also, just an FYI that have a full spreadsheet of allergens and cross contamination risks on their website, but you have to search for it!

Unusual experience in that you have no waitress but there is a wait team that brings your items to the table… which as a celiac makes me uncomfortable becuase I like to know I have one specific server that’s looking out for me. However, I was reasonably confident that the food was GF because the my said the entire menu was GF other than desserts and the “special” taco. They also have a clear selection when ordering for listing gluten allergy and notes. The food and cocktails were really good.

As someone with Celiac that lives in a rural area, I rarely get to go out to eat. My husband and I stopped in Bartaco on our last trip to Atlanta, and it was fantastic. I felt like the staff was very knowledgeable about gluten and the food was excellent. I sampled a variety of tacos and had a fabulous spicy margarita. Upon learning that it was our first visit, one of the hostesses even brought us complimentary duck tacos to sample. I would definitely go back and recommend to friends.

Everything on the menu except for dessert is gluten free. Everything is separate so the bill can get pricey. For example, the chips & salsa are not complimentary like a typical Mexican restaurant. The tacos are reasonably priced at $3/taco. I loved the duck taco!!!

Almost everything (minus some of the desserts) is gluten free. What has gluten is marked on the menu. Ordering takes place online and there is a spot on your order to mark if you have a gluten allergy. Everyone was super friendly and the atmosphere was great. I highly recommend the Baja fish tacos.

So much of the menu is gluten free that they mark the few items that are *not* safe! For reference, my partner is extremely sensitive to cross contamination so we have to be extra picky. We visited the Inman Park location.

On the downside, the bar was uncomfortably crowded for Covid with the tables right next to each other. While the staff are wearing masks, I didn't see a single patron with one, even before being seated. So even outside I was a little uncomfortable with the risk. The place was also super loud, but the music was good. They've gone completely paperless so you sit, scan the table's barcode, and then open their app. You place your order in the app, marking each item with allergens as needed (gluten, dairy, nuts, shellfish, etc) and even pay through the app at the end of the meal, so contact with staff is minimal (an introvert's dream! 🤣).

The guacamole wasn't very good at all. Way too much lime and salt, no tomato, and it seemed at least partially made with Florida avocados because it was super bland beyond just hot salty and sour. Not worth the money. But the TACOS...oh the tacos were a different story. They're small, so if you're used to eating three tacos, you'll want about five of these. And they are SO GOOD.

I had the chicken verde, which wasn't that spicy but had a great smoky grill flavor. The duck was my least favorite, as it was oily and a little bland, but tender. The ribeye was good. The crispy oysters were my absolute favorite, just lovely and tender. My partner liked the mushroom tacos best, followed by the oyster.

Overall we were very impressed and plan to make this place a regular visit whenever we're in Atlanta. While the tacos are small, the rice bowls look like they're a good sized meal, and might be better value for money if you're on a budget.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

LOVE bartaco but celiacs beware:

-They cook the corn tortillas on the same surface as flour so I always opt for lettuce wraps -They claim the mojo pork is cooked with gluten free beer HOWEVER it’s omission beer which is currently *crafted to removed gluten* so not 100% gf -chips currently fried in safe fryer but double check-may vary on the day

I’ve eaten here several times and been fine and I’m extremely sensitive

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Awesome for gf! The majority of the menu is gf so they actually mark the items WITH gluten!!! Awesomeness!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

i eat here alot. basically a totally gluten free menu and very few options with flour. tacos are AWESOME but tiny so it can get pricey for a "casual" meal if your hungry.

I’ve been many times and I always love it. I’ve had many tacos and bowls that are safe. Remember to ask for corn tacos instead of chips with the guacamole. The fryer isn’t dedicated gf.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My server was very knowledgeable about what I could eat that was both GF and DF. I had many more options than I'm used to having. The manager stopped by to ensure I was having a good experience. Very impressed! I'll drive the 45 minutes to eat here again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I’ve eaten at one of the Atlanta locations whenever I’m in ATL. When I saw they have one in DC I was super excited! It’s always so good. My bf really liked it as well

I ordered kids quesadilla for my kid and specified he had Celiac. They told me everything is gluten free and only if I specifically ask, they would give us flour tortillas. My kid really liked it and only at end after we were done, the waiter came and apologized that it was actually flour tortillas.
