Bartaco at the Wharf can be very busy at times but they definitely show you a good time. Took a group of coworkers for a happy hour event and the staff had a blast. The food is delicious, I recommend the cauliflower pomegranate rice bowl...yum. Of course you know the margaritas were on point. Our server Brian was patient and witty so cheers to him because our group was very needy. Great spot for happy hour or just a great meal with friends. Just plan ahead because the traffic there could be busy and you may have a wait but its worth it 👌.

My boyfriend and I went to visit a few weeks ago (for the second time) and the manager Javonte (sp??) helped us out. He was amazing, personable, and when we had a small issue with our food he was ON it. We most certainly will be back and yes, we will look for Javonte. lol. Thank you!!
