Updates as we learn more.
From their original opening back in December 2021:
“bartaco is officially open in the Mount Vernon neighborhood of Washington D.C. for dine-in during the evening for its first week. Hours will vary the first week of opening — bartaco will be open for dinner to start and plans to introduce lunch in addition to dinner the following week — open 11am to late, seven days a week. The restaurant will also be available for delivery a few weeks after opening.
On the menu are a variety of hand-held foods that pair perfectly with bartaco’s crafted cocktails made with fresh-squeezed juices, as well as beer out of a bottle or can and a selection of wine by the can or by the glass. Highlights include bartaco’s pork belly and cauliflower tacos, duck birria, guacamole + street corn sides as well as to-go offerings such as bartaco’s taco packs, delicious margarita kits + a selection of cocktails to-go for two. The restaurant also has a kid friendly menu and dining, a large variety of gluten-free options and spirit-free beverages such as aguas frescas.
bartaco’s rustic design and bold + bright flavors of its menu complement the Mount Vernon neighborhood. Its stylish ambience combined with freshly prepared cocktails, tacos + “not tacos” will create an unforgettable experience for guests. The location also features a large outdoor patio with a fireplace formed with bricks salvaged from a local D.C. building.”
