Bartaco – Mexican

This coastal-inspired escape channels the breezy energy of a beachside bungalow, inviting guests to linger over vibrant street-food flavors in a bright, white-washed space. The kitchen turns out an array of hand-held treasures, from tender lobster tacos and charred pulpo al pastor to savory pork tamales and bowls of creamy, chili-dusted esquites. It is a place where the clinking of glasses and the crunch of house-made chips create a rhythmic backdrop for communal feasts that feel like a perpetual summer holiday.
