I tried the chicken fajita taco, but unfortunately the chicken was pretty dry and didn't have a ton of flavor. It also came with beans, which I personally don't like on my tacos, so I probably wouldn't order that one again. The pastor, however, was really good! I can definitely see that being one of their staple tacos and would order that again. As far as the sauces, I actually preferred the red sauce, although it was more orange in color. It had a really good flavor and was my favorite of the two. The green sauce was a little too spicy for me, and I just enjoyed the flavor of the orange/red sauce more. I also really enjoyed the rice! It was flavorful and tasty. It was $3 for a side and the portion was pretty small for the price, but I'd still say it was good. Overall, I'd come back, but next time I'd skip the chicken fajita taco and stick with the pastor.

It doesn't have that fake sugar aftertaste that others do. Their churros are incredible. They're hot and crispy, made to order (so take a little longer to come out). I got the al pastor tacos. The meat was flavorful. My one minor minor complaint is the tortillas (I had corn) were just okay. Otherwise, it hit the spot!

Discovering Bomb Tacos on the outdoor patio of White Horse bar was a game-changer after a night of two-stepping exhaustion. This place hit the sweet spot for our group perfectly. I couldn't resist trying the al pastor taco, and it was so good that I had to go back for seconds. The flavors were on point, and every bite was a delight. Meanwhile, the rest of my friends opted for the beef quesadilla and were absolutely smitten with their choices. If you find yourself near White Horse bar and in need of some seriously delicious tacos, taking a chance on Bomb Tacos is a must. You won't be disappointed! read more

Our experience in general was disappointing and I'll just go straight to the point: The good: Convenience, they deliver and the delivery was fast, generous portions. The bad: Asked for napkins, limes and salsa and didn't get none of that, the tacos lacked flavor, very plain, we tried the pastor, steak fajita and chorizo tacos, all of them equally disappointing. read more

Out of all the tacos I had, the pastor was my favorite. Juicy, fatty, and flavorful! And the acidity of the pineapple balanced the rich flavor coming from the pastor. As for the other tacos...
