this season’s #givingtaco is more than a taco—it’s a story of culture, connection, andcreating real change.
introducing the new way bartaco makes an impact–small bites, for big change.
we believe that great food and hospitality brings people together, but our impact goes beyond the table. we are committed to making a meaningful difference through our daily business practices and partnerships.
we’ve partnered with chef gabe erales and the non-profit oído, an organization dedicated to empowering young leaders through food, education, and community. their home base, casa hope, is a student center in mexico that’s changing lives through culinary mentorship, cultural programming, and immersive learning experiences.
chef gabe created the pulpo al pastor taco—a dish rooted in yucatán, where octopus (pulpo maya) is a regional staple and the al pastor flavors reflect the cultural migration that shaped the area’s food history.
come for the flavor. stay for the impact.
let’s make a difference—one taco at a time.
the pulpo al pastor #givingtaco features tender, braised pulpo maya (octopus), marinated in smoky al pastor recado and seared to perfection. topped with sweet caramelized pineapple, tangy pickled onions, and fresh cilantro—every bite is a balance of bold, vibrant flavors.
$1 from each pulpo al pastor #givingtaco sold from 4/23-6/3 will be donated to Oido.
