Bartaco
Bartaco is a Mexican restaurant in Fairfax County with two locations at Reston Town Center and Mosaic District. The restaurant specializes in street-style tacos and bowls made fresh daily, along with cocktails, beer, and house-made drinks served in a casual beach-themed setting.
Bartaco started in New York and expanded to eleven states, with the two Fairfax locations being the only ones in the Washington DC area. Both restaurants opened in outdoor shopping centers designed to blend dining with retail and entertainment.
The name bartaco reflects Mexican beach culture and casual dining traditions. The decor with white chairs, blue pillows, and vintage radios creates a relaxed setting where sharing food and gathering together feels natural and encouraged.
The restaurant accepts card payments only, not cash. Guests can join a waitlist by phone, use online ordering, or choose dine-in, takeout, and delivery options. Parking is free at Mosaic District and the kitchen serves food from late morning through late evening.
The restaurant offers High Tide Hour from 3 to 6 pm on weekdays with discounted cocktails and small plates. Guests can also customize their own taco bars for events or join special occasions like Tequila Week when new spirits and flavors are featured and celebrated.
