My love for Bartaco is endless. I mean do they EVER disappoint? The answer is no.
Just when I thought I had my solid "favorites" selected, Bartaco switched things up and my taste buds are loving it! They've added some new tacos, a new salsa and delighted guests with their Margarita March campaign. To the Bartaco team if you're reading this: those margs were AMAZING and I wouldn't mind if the Spring Riser and Esmeralda became permanent menu items.
So, let's get this party started.
Lantz and I were delighted to find out that there was a new salsa in the mix - their red salsa. It's equal parts fiery and refreshing with hints of pineapple. True life: I never ate salsa before Bartaco... NEVER. I fell in love with their salsa verde and now it only makes sense to order their trio to the table as a starter.
During Bartaco's #MargaritaMarch campaign, I had the pleasure of trying out the Spring Riser and the Esmeralda. The Spring Riser was a fun play on the traditional tequila sunrise, and I have to say it was so delicious!! For those of you that like a traditional margarita flavor, you would love this one as it has a slight fruity touch. The Esmeralda was a fun twist with the addition of matcha. A.K.A. It was healthy so I drank four.
Now, on to the TACOS. Okay, wow. The newest additions to the taco menu make me so excited. I know that so many people were bummed to see the fried oyster go away, but have you tried the latest newbies?! For starters, the mojo pork taco just spoke to me as soon as I saw it. Obviously I was tickled to have a taco that takes me back to my Cuban favorite, but I am not a huge fan of the pork belly and was having a little pork FOMO (because Lantz loves it and orders it every time). But, wait for it... the ROCK SHRIMP taco is out of this world. The tangy glaze on those crispy shrimp just makes me feel all warm inside. I can't go and not order at least two rock shrimp tacos now. It's an obsession and I'm embracing it. They've also added a Yucatan Redfish taco that's a nice replacement for those who were attached to the Mahi taco before. And now, Bartaco is getting ready to release a new secret taco (4/12) that is going to be a crazy new flavor combo for people to try. I won't ruin the surprise, but you're going to want to plan a date night ASAP.
Of course when it comes to the sweets, you can't go wrong with any of the options. Our two personal favorites are the Spiced Chocolate Pudding and the Churros with chocolate dipping sauce (see above and below). On a day where you want something cool, give their gelato a try. The coconut is my favorite!
And as always, make sure you're following along on Instagram to stay in the know with good eats and more!
