bartaco
A Coconut Grove taco bar on Commodore Plaza with small tacos, a long margarita list and a kitchen open until 1 am on weekends.
Geprüft Oktober 2026
Good for a loud, easy group dinner or a late margarita in the Grove. The tacos are small and add up fast, and on weekend nights you'll be on a waitlist rather than holding a reservation.
Small tacos, so order several
The tacos are 4-inch, on a corn tortilla or a bibb lettuce shell, so plan on a few per person. The list runs long: chicken tinga in smoky morita chile sauce, pork belly with arbol chili, sesame ribeye with kimchi, crispy oyster with remoulade, and a mushroom taco with coffee salsa macha. Sides are where the table fills up: guac and chips, esquites, fried plantains with salt and cayenne, cotija corn dip. Off the taco list, the duck birria comes in a crispy corn tortilla with duck broth for dipping. Desserts stay simple: churros, tres leches, key lime pie in a jar.
Margaritas and high tide
The house margarita is Libélula joven tequila, Combier orange liqueur, agave and lime, and you can ask for it spicy. There are reposado, mezcal, green and passionfruit versions, plus a cazuela with grapefruit, lime and Sprite. Beer leans Florida: Wynwood La Rubia, Islamorada Channel Maker, La Tropical. Happy hour runs at the bar on weekdays from 3 to 6 pm. Then there's high tide hour, the last 1.5 hours before close Monday through Thursday, which works out to about 10:30 pm on Monday to Wednesday and 11:30 pm on Thursday. The spirit-free list is real, not an afterthought.
Commodore Plaza after dark
It opens at 11 am every day and stays open until midnight Sunday through Wednesday, 1 am Thursday through Saturday, which is late for this part of the Grove. Fridays and Saturdays bring live music, so expect noise. There's no reservation system on the site, just a waitlist you can join before walking over, and that's the move on weekend nights. Early evenings skew family: the kids menu has trays with tacos, corn wheels and a fruit bowl. It holds 4.8 from about 1,900 Google reviews, high for a busy chain branch.

Gut zu wissen
