All variations and regional cuisines. I would call this more Tex Mex with some northern Mexican menu items. Burritos, fajitas, tacos, enchiladas. Usual suspects. First hurdle cleared and cleared well. Chips and salsa. Fresh corn chips and a raw salsa with enough texture to see what the ingredients are and how fresh it is. We split some tacos de carne asada and a beef fajita quesadilla. Protein portions and over all portions are VERY generous. Had leftovers and a really good lunch for $42 before tip. This place is definitely in contention for top Mexican restaurant in the zip code. Love some of their local competitors so I won't flat out rank but we now have a new option that will make deciding where we go even tougher.

Next time, I would probably order something more fresh to go along with it. There were very few slices of cucumber to balance out the meal. We went on a Friday night and it was busy but not packed. We didn't have to wait to get seated. Pretty casual environment. Very yummy! I would definitely go again.

This place is just so fantastic. The flavors they put out of this place are unreal. When I say they…read moreare the best tacos in northern va I mean it. Better than taco bamba and like a million of the other places I've eaten at. THE BEST! I love this place so much, I could eat here every week. Today I drove 30 minutes just for the tacos, I got four, and I'm pretty full after 3. I recommend the al pastar, carnitas or asada tacos. All so delicious. The tacos are $2.65 each. Yes it's in a gas station, so maybe not the most romantic place, but if you have a partner that likes great food it's absolutely flavors that impress

Bought one of each (chicken, beef, chorizo, and tongue) and while all were excellent I want to say the tongue was the best. I'm going to try their pupusa pollo con queso next.

I took the bartender's recommendation and ordered a margarita, garlic Parmesan wings, and nachos. I also ordered a churro cookie, which had the perfect amount as soon as it was nice and soft. The garlic Parmesan wings were amazing perfectly crisp, well-done, and had a nice sweet, savory flavor. The nachos were really good as well, although I thought the portion was a little small, especially for the price. The margarita was pretty typical made from a slushy machine but it did the job. The pricing was somewhat reasonable. Two shots were $16 each, and the small margarita was around $10. Bathroom and restaurant was pretty clean and customer service was amazing. The parts was extremely friendly and pretty funny. Overall, it was a solid stop with good food, and I'd definitely order those wings again

Taco Bamba has been a well known chain for sometime now in NOVA, but the consistency across all the…read morelocations I've been too has still held up. The Food: This time around, I went for their happy hour and wanted to explore options aside from their tacos. I got their Bamba Wings and a Cup O'Bamba. The wings were absolutely delicious! I got their Garlic Chili flavor and you can smell the garlic flavor from miles away. Chicken was cooked nice and tender and the whole flavor profile was amazing. The Cup O'Bamba is basically just a small bowl packed with protein of choice, beans, rice and an egg. Still good, but nothing noteworthy to write home about. Tacos here are still great, no doubt. The Service: Service here was good. I've always found this location to be just a little slower for some reason, even when I've put in online orders for a certain time. But other than that, staff was friendly and not much to complain about besides service speed. The Atmosphere: Nice big space with plenty of seating. It has a long bar to sit at with TV's spanned across to watch any sports games if you'd like. Nice decor all around. Overall, a 5/5. Definitely coming back again and highly recommend any Taco Bamba location.

Best decision ever! My new favorite soup. 4 stars! I thought all this time it only had tripe. There is tripe in there but with the other bone parts, I just skipped it. The soup is a little on the greasy side, but that's to be expected. Also got some "carne" and chicharron with rice & beans. Skip the chicharron. It's too dry and tough for me. The carne was pretty good. Is rate it a 3. The rice & beans...well, it's rice & beans.

Fantastic little hole in the wall. Located in a strip mall/office complex. It's one of those places…read moreyou go into and it's nothing but local Hispanics who know their food. (Sometimes I'll get a surprised look coming in, but everyone has always been friendly.) The food is fantastic, and the staff speaks English well enough to order. I've been a couple times, usually order their tacos and pupusas and side of beans. Unlike many taco places the meat is always juicy, perfectly spiced and toppings fresh. Every time I've been there it's been at least half full of people. Don't expect fancy though, fast food style booths, plastic plates, utensils and Styrofoam. But the food is fantastic and 2 tacos, a pupusa and side of beans $9. There are also a lot of other stuff on their menu, but I'm just happy to find a good, authentic taco place.

Most of the booths were full of locals watching a soccer game from 2009. We looked out of place, but that never bothers me. We got a selection of things. The tamales ($2 each) were very big and stuffed with a big hunk of chicken breast, potatoes and a whole string bean. The corn dough was firm but still moist. It would be better with pulled/stewed marinated meat to keep it from being dry, but overall good and a great value. The grilled steak was nice and flavorful, but very very tough/chewy. Came with rice, some salad and a pupusa. The tacos looked very fresh but my husband didn't share so I can't judge. We also got 2 cornbread muffins ($1.25 each) which were on the dry side. They were very nice, and all this - 2 tamales, 2 tacos, steak platter, 2 corn muffins and 3 sodas - cost $27. It took about 15 minutes to be prepared.
