"Bartaco’s vibe is inspired by the beach culture of Brazil, Uruguay, and SoCal, but its tacos fuse Mexican tradition with Latin, Mediterranean, and Asian flavors and ingredients. Think duck confit in tamarind glaze, rotisserie pork pastor, and soy-, sesame- and sriracha-marinated ribeye topped with kimchi, all served on four-inch corn tortillas. Vegetarian options (falafel, cauliflower, portobello) abound, but don’t overlook other items like duck birria and grilled corn rolled in lime, cayenne and cotija." - Faiyaz Kara
