Celiac safe, but extremely overpriced. They do $3-4 street tacos which are about 2-3 bites each. The only thing remotely worth the cost was the chicken rice bowl which was filling but bland, only including brown rice, lightly seasoned verde chicken, and raw bell pepper slices. Basically a $10 bowl of rice with a half cup of chicken. It tastes good, but be prepared for an annoying online ordering experience on your phone and a large check if you’re with a large party.

They were so good with helping on menu items. They told me what I shouldn’t have and I felt at peace here. Plantains, street corn, jerk chicken tacos and Mexican coke are superb

Got pork belly, roasted duck, seasoned steak, and the Baja fish tacos. The Baja fish and pork belly were my favorite. Ended up ordering one more Baja fish taco. Got the large gauc with red and green salsa for an appetizer. With a green margarita. So yummy.

If I could give this place 6 stars I would. I know Bartaco is a chain but it never feels like a chain. I love this place more than life and I’ve never gotten sick from any Bartaco in any location! Always celiac safe ♥

So so yummy, I got the cauliflower bowl and it was very good. Almost everything is GF, the staff is knowledgeable about it all. Separate fryer and grill for gluten-containing items, so I felt safe. Menu has items with gluten marked.
I contacted them before going to see how they handle GF orders and cross-contamination. Here’s the response:
“Thanks so much for reaching out to us! We take allergies very seriously at bartaco.
While our menu is almost entirely gluten-free, you can check out all nutritional/allergy information for specific items at bartaco.com/nutrition. To handle allergies, we follow standard protocols of changing gloves, washing hands, changing tongs, and wiping counters and trays before assembling tacos and not tacos when we are preparing allergy tickets.
When you visit, we suggest you make a team member aware of your allergy prior to your meal as well so they can best assist your requirements and ensure your safety.
Wishing you all the best and please let me know if you have any questions,
Jessica”

Great experience! Everything is gluten free except kids quesadillas and desserts (though actually you can get gelato in a cup too). Our table shared some ceviche and guacamole and chips and I had the fish, pork belly and shrimp tacos (warning: that one is spicy!) The Baja taco was my favorite and I got a pomegranate limonada drink which was amazing too! Highly recommend.

I don't think there is anything I can say about this place that hasn't already been said. I went there last night and it was amazing! I had the fried fish taco, pork belly and grilled shrimp tacos. Two of each, to be exact! I loved the fact that the app let me to note my food allergies and it was wonderful not having to constantly ask "Is this gluten free?" I can't wait to eat here again.

Staff is knowledgeable about Celiac. Pretty much everything on the menu is GF except for a few desserts. Even their fried fish is made with rice flour. They made it a point to let me know that the non-GF churros are fried in their own fryer, separate from everything GF. You order from your phone at the table and can indicate gluten allergy, as well as other allergies. They told me that the kitchen will prepare carefully and change gloves…even though most everything is GF already. Very safe and low stress GF experience.

Went here last night. Food is okay. I got a chorizo taco, a cauliflower taco, and and a chicken verde taco. But I expected more. Their tacos a smaller than street size. Their margaritas start at 12.00. This more like a tapas establishment. I left still hungry.

I can’t stop thinking about this place. The fish tacos are incredible. The margaritas are amazing and the service is fast and covid-conscious. I will be back!
Edit: I’ve been back three times. So far so good. It can get packed so make sure you join the waitlist 30 minutes in advance. Pretty loud but one of the managers was friendly. He was pretty close to me the entire time, Covid excluded, I like my personal space lol. I really liked the food the first time I came but its okay food. It’s fast, fresh, and safe which is important. Perhaps the first time is the best.

First time customer here, I am from out of town. Found this place on the app and my expectations were fairly high given the type of fare. I ordered the fried cod taco box and the pork belly taco box and included bib lettuce on both entrees.
I can’t remember the last time I had fried fish! Living gf in the smaller midwestern areas is like that though.
I liked the fish tacos. Very crisp and mild. Definitely needed the hot sauce and bib lettuce IMO. Pork belly was AMAZING. Best pork belly I have ever had. Had to stop myself from licking the fat drippings. Also benefitted from the hot sauce and bib lettuce.
An otherwise perfect (urban-area/over-priced) taco dinner would have earned an easy-made fan, but they forgot to include one pack of (4) tortillas and the bib lettuce needed a quick wash. I am glad I ordered as much as I did, or it would have been a fork and finger dinner with no vessel for the tacos.
I assume some issue with the receipt printer might have thrown someone off balance with the bag assembly (so as to have accidentally neglected a pack of tortillas) because it was ripped and stapled oddly.

Loved this concept. You order on the app as you want food. All choices say the allergens in the food and there is an allergy option to say no gluten. There is also a box you can write in to say celiac if you want. Great experience. Most of this restaurant is already gluten free and you won’t want to miss this one. Healthy options as well!

In addition to celiac, the allergies at our table were: wheat, shellfish, peanuts and sunflower.
Issues eating here: ZERO.
They added a fried oyster taco. Yummy.
We also had guac, empanadas, street corn, duck tacos, and chicken soup.
Everything was 100% delicious!
Almost everything on the menu is gluten free. When I called to inquire they told me they are “the gluten free Mecca!” And they were right. Everything is so good and fresh ingredients. Let them know about the severe gluten allergy and didn’t get sick. Would definitely go back!

I absolutely DO NOT recommend Bartaco if you have Celiac! I ordered a to-go order over the phone and was asked if I had any allergies. So I explained that I HAD to order gluten-free because of an allergy. During the conversation I told the employee we had to make sure that it was gf several times. An hour later my daughter had gotten so sick from her food. And yes I'm 100% certain it was what she had eaten.
