Great little joint. Cool atmosphere and friendly service. Tacos were pretty good but the atmosphere played a large roll in that. Servers were very friendly. Enjoyed the street corn. Nothin mind blowing about the tacos and quite pricey but they were all good. Quite small and many fell apart as we tried to eat them but if you enjoy a non traditional spin on tacos you’ll enjoy these. Definitely a great place to stop for a drink or two and a snack around lunch time. You likely won’t be disappointed. I’d eat there again but not as my first choice if I’m looking for a solid meal. I’d go for lunch rather than dinner. Overall it was a positive experience.

We had such a great experience at bartaco! We tried a variety of tacos along with the chips and guac, and everything was delicious. The duck taco was the standout—absolutely incredible and a must-try. The service was just as impressive—attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. For King Street, the prices were surprisingly reasonable, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend stopping in if you’re in the area!

This was hands down the worst service I’ve ever experienced at any Bartaco — and I don’t say that lightly. I make it a point to visit Bartaco in every state I’m in because I genuinely love the food and usually love the service. Unfortunately, the Charleston location has a lot left to be desired. I sat at the bar for 15 minutes — not exaggerating — before anyone even acknowledged me. Multiple staff members watched me fill out the menu, place my card in the holder, and sit there waiting. No greeting. No “be right with you.” Nothing. They stood within my direct eyeline and simply did not serve me. Eventually, the bartender — who already had four guests — came over and helped me. But that was after a very extended and uncomfortable wait. What makes this especially frustrating is that this i

This place was amazing!! Had to wait about 8 mins for table, server came over and explained how it works , The raspberry margarita had to be the margarita I ever had, the spicey margarita was amazing as well, chips, guac, salsa verda was fantastic, we split the carne asada taco and the chicken verde taco, all the food was great, service was really fast and staff was attentive and friendly

It has a unique environment with a great, lively atmosphere that immediately stands out. The vibe is fun and relaxed, making it a perfect spot to enjoy good food and company. The Ahi Tuna Tataki was absolutely awesome—fresh & flavorful. It’s a must-try dish and easily the highlight of the meal.
