First look: Bartaco in North Bethesda (Photos)


Bartaco
at 950 Rose Avenue at Pike & Rose in North Bethesda appears ready to open any day now. The taqueria chain's first Maryland location had a sign in the window last evening reading, "Closed for staff training." Only a couple of workers were visible inside, but every table was set for dining, and all furnishings, light fixtures, and equipment was in place. Here's a sneak peek of what Bartaco refers to as its "Southern California and Latin America-inspired" decor:

Don't know much about them but there's definitely a buzz. The downtown Charleston, SC location had a wait out the door every day I noticed recently. P&R has some decent food offerings for sure. Mostly hits over misses and this is definitely in the hit column as far as I can tell.

Been to the one at the DC Wharf and it’s quite good.
