I visited bartaco at The Wharf during DC Cocktail Week and let me tell you, it felt like an invite-only secret hideaway by the water..
From the moment I stepped in, I was swept up in their beachy-meets-urban energy: rustic wood, breezy windows, soft lighting, and the hum of people chatting and laughing
The food… WOW.
Every bite delivered: the crispy chicken flautas were light, fresh, with a sliver of spice that teased but didn’t overpower. Everything felt freshly made, thoughtfully seasoned, and designed for devouring. The drinks didn’t disappoint either. I got the maui express and it was AMAZING! Bright, balanced, and the right amount of boozy… The fresh pressed juices made this an extraordinary happy hour experience.
But what really elevated the night was the staff. Big shout-out to Brooke behind the bar; she made me a cocktail that felt like summer even in December. Soran and Javonte (the managers), who checked me in with a warmth that made the whole place feel like a real bartaco team member. They were kind, attentive, and genuinely into making sure everyone had a great time.
The kind of service that makes you want to come back, even if you live across town.
Long story short: if you want a waterfront-chic escape with cocktails that hit just right, bartaco at The Wharf is the place..
Highly recommended for girls’ nights, date nights, or just chill a night out.

Went with a colleague during a business trip and found this delightful little spot for a quick lunch. We enjoyed very fresh tacos and refreshing drinks—perfect for a scorching 38-degree day. The restaurant sits right by the water, and the new waterfront area adds an extra layer of charm. I’d love to come back and walk around when the weather is a little cooler.

A friend and I walked into Bartaco to have some happy hour drinks and snacks one afternoon a few weeks ago. We were served by Alan and had such an incredible time!! He was very attentive, made us some absolutely amazing margaritas based on personal flavor preferences. He ended up making me a passion fruit marg and it was truly one of the best I’ve had in a long time. All the food was great and we ended up having so much fun, we stayed far longer than expected. I highly recommend for anyone down at the wharf with a little extra time in the afternoon.

Absolutely sensational service. David greeted us warmly and Rayn joined in making our experience truly enjoyable as well. I could not have imagined it going better. Duck birria and chicken tinga HIGHLY RECCOMMEND! Reccommend both bartenders, good sense of humor , great suggestions , the pina pisca punch was great and the plantains as well.

This would be my third time coming and definitely not my last. It has become one of my favorite brunch spots. The vibe is always welcoming, the food always great, and the service spot on. I was recommended the pork belly and duck taco – and it’s what I always stick with when coming. I had a run-in with a manager and it was a pleasant experience because he brought over a surprise drink – a watermelon margarita – which I fell in love with. This made everything so much better and Imanol’s service was spectacular! Make sure to ask for this server! Can’t wait to go back.

Update ; we went there again tonight. We couldn’t get it off our minds! Again a great meal great atmosphere great people. Thanks for everything!
The family debated about where to go and glad we picked Bartaco! Fun atmosphere. Great food. I got the spicy chicken rice bowl and a sesame steak taco. Son got pork belly rice bowl. We got plantains to share. It was a little spicy for son but I felt right at home. We’re going to come back! Pretty walk along the wharf at night!

I stumbled upon Tacobar on a Saturday and ended up staying for 2 hours. Their pork belly tacos has such a phenomenal taste and the right amount of heat! The staff was super friendly and gave great recommendations. Highly recommend trying this place as your next taco spot!

A vibrant place facing the water! Great service great atmosphere and decent food. Drinks are great! If you don’t want your margarita too sweet ask for slim. Key lime pie is superb! Their general manager Neo is amazing! He brought us green salsa when he heard I’m not too sure about the red salsa, green is superb indeed
