Bartaco
1 Willett Ave
Port Chester, NY 10573
On our weekend trip we needed a
place where the kitchen would stay open late. So the four of us set out for a
place called Bartaco. I had never heard of this place before, and they do not
have a location in Boston...But they
should!
What a cool, fun place to go and
have a few drinks and some good food. For the younger crowd they have a
great bar scene.
Bartaco serves upscale street food
in a very casual environment. Serving, as you could assume by the name, tacos, along
with guacamole, tamales and other sides.
First, the wait staff was great!
We had 2 waitresses, and they could not do enough for us. With their help we
placed our order.
We started with some guacamole and
chips plus the cheese quesadilla. Both of these appetizers where
good, but I would not waste any room for them again.
I would save my appetite for
the tacos and the rice bowls.
They suggested we do the tray of
tacos and two rice bowls. Now, the tacos are small, two bite tacos, so that
allows you to try three or four different kinds.
We had the fish, chicken, sesame ribeye, fried oyster and the pork belly. All
of the tacos came dressed and ready to eat. The pork belly was the best;
perfectly cooked and served with a delicious slaw and sauce.
We also had the rice bowls; a
chicken and the sesame ribeye both
were delicious.
But one of our favorite items was
the grilled corn with lime, cayenne and Cotija cheese.
If you order this (And I think you
should) ask them to remove it from the cob.
We finished our meal off with some
Churros with chocolate sauce and Key Lime Pie in a mason jar. Both were
excellent, but I was too full to eat anything else.
So if you are ever around one of
these Bartaco’s, I would drop in. You won't be sorry.
