Yum Yum. Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum. Very reasonably priced, quick service and great tacos. Will definitely return again.

Delicious tacos! I love that there are lots of different protein options to choose from. I ordered a taco bamba (skirt steak and chorizo), el beso (crispy pork and beef tongue), and a black pearl (crispy grouper). The ink aioli on the black pearl was a little weird tasting, but everything else was great. The staff were very kind and quickly brought my food out even during the lunch rush. read more

Pretty good tacos and variety of choices. The carne asada and chorizo tacos were tasty especially with the corn tortilla. Note that your orders are tacos only but it's serving size is reflective of the price. Service was very nice and friendly. This is also a very nice spot for a group. I like the variety of seating from tables to counters and outdoor tables. read more

Updating my review: we've been coming here with repeat patronage for years since they first opened this location. Even came here to celebrate after my wife swore the oath of citizenship to celebrate. The prices have since become unaffordable, the wait for pickups are understated (had to wait 15 min past my most recent pickup time), and our order wasn't complete. They're understaffed and with food coming out at different times Plus the area isn't the safest and has terrible traffic. Maybe invest less in takeout-bag quality and more in you staffing/quality? read more

The service here was great, food was good, I like the dining atmosphere and the prices are fare. There's a lot of taquerias in the area so competition is stiff. This place had a decent crowd and it was recommended to me. Overall this place wasn't bad but it's not for me. I prefer the non chain restaurants but try it for yourself. read more

I've been here several times and always forget to review this place. The food is pretty good and priced right. The Taco bamba taco is the BEST! I love the spicy mushroom taco, it's a 9/10. I got the wings for my daughter, which were fried hard. I can't attest to the flavor but she likes them. The guacamole is not bad. I've had the margarita which is mixed well and tasty, but on the weaker side. On my last visit, I didn't feel that the guy at the register had the sunniest disposition, other than that I'd recommend this place. read more

I got the taco bamba ($6 ea) and an elote ($5) and the food came out in about 15 minutes. The tacos were very good, I liked the steak and chorizo mix. The elote was just ok. Service was a little slow. Overall it was an overall ok experience. Food(50%): 6.7 Staff/service(25%): 6.0 Value(25%): 6.0 Overall: 6.4/10 read more

A casual spot with unique tacos. Plenty of seating indoor and outdoor. My favorite taco is the "bruce leo" with crispy grouper. I also tried the "taco bamba" taco which was pretty big for a single taco and great for first timers. They have a variety of drinks but definitely try their fresh juices "agua fresca". Queso & chips kinda mid honestly. Chips are pre-bagged already so there is a staleness to them and a little overly salted. Queso is good but together it is just okay. read more

Carnitas Taco (3/5): Would've preferred raw, chopped onion instead of the pickled onion. Also a bit too salty. *Would definitely try again. (Some of the other tacos looked much tastier, but I was already too full from before so I only ordered one taco). RATING SYSTEM 5 - Great (Definitely getting this again) 4 - Good (Would get it again) 3 - Ok (Might give it another shot) 2 - Not Good (Won't get this again) 1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this) read more

I've never spat out a taco and ran to throw a whole trey of food away while in a restaurant in my life! That's what happened when I went here and tried the vegetarian tacos. Literally $20 tossed in the trash can! DO NOT RECOMMEND! That's what I get for listening to a co-worker from the area whose wife cooks him everything bland everyday for lunch! He must've been overwhelmed when he ate there and decided all seasonings are good seasonings and decided to recommend it to me smh eEEYUCK!!!! read more

Sitting at the bar I noticed order after order come in through what I assume was to-go, yet their service was prompt. The bar tenders were easy to talk with and gave space when needed. From what I can tell the place is clean. Washing my hands prior to eating, I noticed the bathrooms were clean. Overall the location is clean. The food is pretty consistent at THIS location. I can't say about other locations but I will update when I make the comparison. The garnish, like lime and grapefruit slices, are dehydrate on the spot. Pretty interesting and makes for a "pretty drink", per my other half. read more

Wow! This place was amazing. I went for breakfast and left a happy customer. I normally don't go for a savory breakfast meal. I wanted something quick so that I could go on with the rest of my day. Taco Bamba definitely did not disappoint. I got one OG taco and one Migas taco. The taco tacos were super flavorful and delicious. The perfect amount of ingredients and hit the spot. I also got an order of the churros with the dulce de leche sauce. The sauce was warm so it made the crispy churros even better. I would love to check this place out for their lunch or dinner menu. I believe they also have a happy hour. This location had an outdoor seating area which would be perfect to get some fresh air while enjoying some delicious food and drinks. read more

I know everyone goes here for their tacos, but don't sleep on their breakfast. There are not many options for a casual breakfast spot, it's usually either fast-food breakfast sandwiches from a fast-food joint or a sit-down type of place like Silverado's or First Watch. Taco Bamba fills the void of just being able to walk in, order a high-quality Made-To-Order breakfast, and you can either sit down and get your food or take it home. I like the Mexican twist, there are not too many breakfast options outside of American food, and I love Huevos Rancheros and the other breakfast offerings here. It's nice to be able to get a good quality casual breakfast on the weekend but not take up so much time so I can get other stuff done. I got their OG breakfast Taco and Huevos Rancheros with asada added. They gave a ton of steak, and if you aren't a big eater, it's enough for two. I plan to try their other breakfast offerings. It's also not crowded at all for now, so if you want a quick breakfast, you can get it here. A nice little bonus is they give free coffee for breakfast and up to a certain time, so you can get as much coffee as you want to go with your brekkie. read more

What a nice taco spot. If your in the area this is a must stop! Not only do they have an amazing range of tacos and dishes. They're also open for breakfast !(which I haven't had) ... But Breakfast tacos !!! I think I might . Lol. The customer service was average. There prices are reasonable. The flavor profile was standard. The portion size is average. However the presentation is beautiful. I love the fact they have an outdoor area should you want to sit outside. There is a bar area too with a few nice drinks on the menu. Sit where you like after ordering if you want to dine in. It seems like a popular spot, I notice it fills quickly but they move efficiently to get your food to you. My food was nice and hot!! Even after making a few pit stops before going straight home. Definitely coming back to try more options. Hope to see you guys there. Great job Taco Bamba read more

Wanted a quick bite and stumbled on this Taco Bamba location. It's near a shopping plaza surrounded with other restaurant options and an international food grocery story. My friend has been to their DC location and was excited to try this. The food: pretty good. Their menu is a bit intimidating because there are so many great options, and to be honest, I wanted to try everything even though I wasn't very hungry. I didn't eat the egg with my bowl but all together it was good. My only take back is that the barbacoa was incredibly salty. Maybe next time I'll get a different meat. Plus they have a good juice/soda selection. The atmosphere: a bit chaotic, but most of the staff are very welcoming. The restaurant is a bit tight with limited seating. They do have a bar with seating but it's "only for customers who are purchasing drinks." We sat down and didn't get a chance to look at their drink menu before being told this so we got up and waited for another guest party to leave. I'd give this place another try because it does have potential. read more

First time visiting on Memorial Day and it wasn't crowded. That was good for me because I got to talk to a staff member and get some great recommendations. She took her time, went over the menu with me and I was happy with my choices. The restaurant itself is not that big but there is a nice space for dining in, and it's a casual atmosphere. My order: Tinga taco Al Pastor taco Taco Bamba **all of my tacos were good. The portions and flavors were to my satisfaction. Black beans and rice - didn't like. Mango drink - made in house. Sweet and very refreshing. I put it on the freezer to get it really cold and enjoyed it. Total came to around $23 read more

The first time I ever tried Taco Bamba was at the Falls Church location years ago and it was soo good! I've been to their other locations, but I'm so happy now it is closer to home. Located in the shopping center with Grant Mart next to Mama Chicken. There is plenty of parking so that wont be an issue. Also, it looks like they have an outdoor patio area. I love how each location is slightly unique and offers different kinds of dishes and specialty tacos. I ended up ordering a lengua taco and a sopes with carne asada and it was delicious. The lengua taco is tender, soft and not too chewy. The sopes is a thick fried flour tortilla with pinto bean spread, choice of meat, cabbage slaw and topped with cheese, crema, jalapenos, and avocado. This was SO GOOD! I never tried the sopes before but I saw someone order that at their other location so I was intrigued to try it out. I was unsure how to eat it but I ate it open-face style and every bite was tasty. You get a bit of tortilla, meat, and toppings. The sope is probably my new favorite dish. Overall, Taco Bamba always serves excellent food, and for those who haven't tried Taco Bamba before, you must go! read more

Of all the Taco Bambas in the area (which there are many) and the dozens of tacos that they serve in each, I think the most memorable is the "El Randino," a filipino version of their staple taco where a crispy pork nugget is complemented by chicharron and carnitas and cut with a citric soy sauce. The banana ketchup definitely adds to the mix to give it that authentic filipino taste whereby you're transformed to a wonderful diner-like setting. Props to the chefs who weave in all these flavors. read more

This particular Taco Bamba recently had opened up on the LA Mart plaza, right next to Mama's Chicken. As other Taco Bambas, the menu offers breakfast items, apps, tacos, signature tacos, bowls, tortas, quesadillas, various sides, and even burgers. We came here for an early dinner, and we ordered: +Carne Asada tacos - served on a corn tortilla with onions; large chunks of beef steak that was well marinated; slight on the tougher end, these still had good flavor and was a simple taco +Bruce Leo - with grouper, green chile, sweet & sour salsa macha, blistered napa cabbage, fried ginger, and cilantro; the menu stated that the group was crispy, but it didn't seem to have any batter on it nor was it crispy; it was kind of soggy +Spicy 'Shroom - with chipotle portobellos, grilled corn, cotija, pickled onions, heart of palm, cilantro, and pepitas; this was super spicy, and not in a good way - it seemed that the focus was heat, heat, and more heat; also, it first came out with cilantro, in which we requested there to be none; also, ikt was just way too overpowering with the chipotle, and the mushrooms were just overly mushy +Veggiemachatatte - with crispy sweet potatoes, salsa macha, toasted almonds, sweet garlic sauce, burnt chile chitate, and green onions; we didn't really taste any of the sweet potatoes, and the taste was off-putting +Mexican Street Corn - with mayo, red chile, lime, and cotija; the corn was smaller, and the dressing and the spices were just way too overwhelming - way too much mayo and way too sour; this was hardly touched after a bite We just felt that there was just too much going on, or there may have been a lack of quality control in terms of the portions of the toppings. The corn tortillas were also more on the dry end, so they did fall apart easily. Staff were friendly, and there were plenty of seating, both tables, bar tables, and counter seating. Plenty of parking in the shared plaza lot. +avoid the Mexican Street Corn +double-check your orders with any customizations +friendly staff +plenty of parking in the shared plaza lot read more

We found this Taco Bamba just as it opened, and boy was it worth it! Delicious flavors, hearty good, inventive combinations. My favorites are the Cup 'o Bamba with a perfectly cooked egg (the yolk was gooey and oozed all over the place) and the Bruce Leo (essentially a fish taco with a kick). If you're near a Taco Bamba, you gotta stop in and try it. And since there are several in the metro DC area, you have plenty of option. You won't be sorry! read more

Same great tacos, same menu, but their newest location. So glad this local taco joint is expanding and bringing their spin on delicious tacos to others in the DMV. All the tacos are superb, made fresh and tasty -- just read the menu and pick something. Or try something new. You won't go wrong with anything here. Outdoor seating available as well as bar stools inside. Fast service. ...and they have a full bar -- I'm thinking margaritas next time. read more

This chain is by far my favorite taco place in the area. I had only been to the original location a few years back. Decided to try this location and the classic tacos did not disappoint. The original creations were okay but I am a taco purist at heart so anything more than onions and cilantro is overkill for me. The el randino had a piece of dried out pork that was unedible. The street corn was also really good. Carne asada, al pastor, and carnitas were top tier. read more

The "dirty" carne asada taco was pretty good, but the regular chorizo taco was dry and very salty. My wife said her "dirty" pollo taco didn't have any sauce on it. The service was fine and the ambiance was good. read more

Tacos and street corn were good, but I didn't like any of the side sauces -truly horrible and will toss those little cups out. Also, two tacos (Taco Bamba) delivered were missing steak and guac on them and had almost no cojita -didn't appreciate that although the portion of the rest of the ingredients was adequate. Al pastor was good with fresh pineapple and the Tedy Afro also good. The Mexican street corn is expensive for what it is and I was expecting a wedge of fresh lime but they don't give you that. So, food is reasonably good but messing up order makes me think twice as to whether it will be worth it to order delivery from them again. read more

Excellent have had a variety plus the corn and the pasoli will be back soon for more can't wait

Not all Taco Bambas are the same! This location blows Springfield OUT OF THE WATER in terms of food quality and service. The GM is such a nice guy, went out of his way to make sure my order was correct and the asada tacos were delicious. 5 stars is hard to earn, but they earned them. read more
