This was our first time at RReal Taco, and it won't be our last. I was honestly not expecting the food to be of such high quality, and was pleasantly surprised. Between my husband and I, we tried five different tacos, and every one was scrumptious and perfectly cooked. The margaritas were spot on, and the appetizers fantastic (the guac was a particular favorite). The service was absolutely wonderful. All-in-all Real Taco made for a fantastic date night out, and we can't wait to return!

About the restaurant

Tacos, tapas, mixologist cocktails and -of course- authentically-prepared barbacoa in the heart of Virginia-Highlands, Atlanta. An eclectic-chic, Spanish vibe accented with warm copper and rich textiles, mood lighting and local artwork plus a comfortable covered patio make bar.bacoa the perfect date night, girl's night, celebratory night, or post-work happy hour spot.

This was our first visit to Bar.bacoa, and we had excellent service and the food was wonderful. My only disappointment was with where our table was located, which was directly in front of the bathroom and where the servers were eating after their shift, and doing side work. As a family we don't eat out much, so this did kind of kill the vibe of a night out when there were plenty of other tables available not so close to the bathroom and people starting to break down the evening. We appreciate all the hard work of servers, but maybe don't seat a table of patrons right there where everyone is clearly waiting to get off shift and eat... it did make us feel a little rushed. Other than that we loved every aspect, food was very tasty, drinks were great! We would have even been happy outside on the patio.. we will definitely go back!

We had the whole restaurant to ourselves because we went during non peak hours. The food was outstanding! The service was mediocre because I had to ask for my final receipt before leaving and we needed refills/Ice and had to wait a while to get one. If I could have flagged down my server then I would have if they would have been in sight distance.

Upon being they bring out chips and 4 different sauces - all are tasty. I ordered the mini street tacos with shrimp. All of the ingredients were fresh and the jalapeño peppers were the hottest I’ve had in awhile. Try this place - you won’t be disappointed.

I saw this restaurant on IG and decided to meet with my coworkers for lunch. There were 11 of us. The service was great, very accommodating to our needs. The restaurant is very beautiful, food was great at reasonable price. Our server was awesome, polite and had a great service mind. Highly recommend!
