September 9, 2019
Swimsuits are starting to make their back to the back of the closet, elementary school kids are increasingly sad by the day as school approaches, and the sun is finally starting to chill out a little. Autumn is almost here. Yes, the leaves are turning, but in no way does that mean the festivities have to come to an end.
In fact, they’re just beginning. Fall vibes. We all need ‘em. Layering up in hoodies and sweats, linking up with friends and catching a drive-in movie, and most of all, hitting a restaurant with an ambiance that complements the overall mood of the day. If you’re in the Atlanta area and are curious as to where you could go, we’ve got you covered. Grab a friend and check out these spots!
bartaco
This is one of the Atlanta restaurants that is a tad bit more known than the others to be mentioned on the list, but it’s so good it’s worth the inclusion. Based on the name alone, you should know what type of cuisines to expect: tacos and tequila. Inspired by Southern California beach culture, bartaco offers coastal vibes with the help of upscale street foods in a cool, laid-back atmosphere. You also have your choice of indoor or outdoor dining if you need a breath of fresh air.
Bartaco has Atlanta restaurants across the city. One located in the Inman Park area at 299 N. Highland Ave NE, another at 3802 Roswell Road around the Chastain Park neighborhood and lastly, a West Midtown restaurant located at 969 Marietta St NW.

Located all across the city of Atlanta and its suburbs, this diner honestly lives up to its name.
