Keeps getting closer to home! Taco bamba is my favorite taco joint in the DMV. I love that each location has unique tacos and 2 of the ones I tried from here were great! The korean chicken taco is excellent. I'll order this every time I order from here. The ethiopian one was also good! I got my normal tinga and a side of habenero salsa, and the batch of salsa i got was HOT. Side note, their website looks like they are doing delivery at this location - they are not (at least not through them, uber eats, etc. might be). Dine in or pick up only for now. 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

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

My friend & I went to the new location yesterday for a late lunch! FYI: you have to order drinks at the bar. You can also order food at the bar. They also have a line just for food purchase. The space is pretty small, but the vibe is amazing. They have a lot of parking in the lot. We actually got to talk with the owner & he's very down to earth. He said they have plans for an outdoor space, as well. We had Paul as our bartender & he couldn't have been better. Service was top notch! We both had the watermelon margarita, which was the drink of the day. I hope they add this to the regular menu because it was delicious! We had the bamba fries & the spaghetti quesadilla. These were the recs of the bartender. We were skeptical of the spaghetti quesadilla, but try it! It was so good! Thank you Paul & taco bamba for such a great experience- I def want to return to try more of the menu. read more

I'm glad this location opened and that the brand seems to be expanding in recent years. This location is reasonably sized all things considered and there is ample parking in the supermarket parking lot. I really don't think you can go wrong with the tacos on the menu (though my favorites are the Porque Pop and the Arabe), and I also really like the grilled guacamole. The quesadillas are also generously sized as well, but I'd probably recommend tacos over anything else. The quality can be a little more hit or miss for takeout orders--I've done a few since they opened, but overall, this location is worth a visit and has a nice ambiance. read more

Strong 4 here. Stopped in for carry out and had a Marg while waiting for my tacos. The atmosphere is very casual but fun with a full bar and lots of options for food. Once getting home all of our tacos and street corn were delicious - will definitely come back when in the area. read more

the location in alexandria is new & after my recent visit i am happy it's near my house. i've been to the springfield location a long time ago & wasn't that keen on taco bamba. my experience recently was much better. the hostess/cashier was so nice & welcoming. i don't really know her title because she was also in charge of being behind tbd bar as well lol. i ordered chicken tacos, dirty style, & they were amazing. perfect. i also ordered their white peach fresca, DELICIOUS. i wish i could've bought a gallon of the stuff. i was able to also try the watermelon & strawberry one as well. the watermelon tastes exactly as it's name. the strawberry was good, just very sweet. if i had to choose the white peach is the way to go! the only reason this review isn't 5 stars is because there was a dead fly on the bar 2 chairs down from me & i thought that was gross & unsanitary. but i would definitely come back here! read more

The service is bad. We tried the tacos tradicionales. The taste and sazón was not good. The corn on the cob waa not good at all. .

SO excited for this location opening!! Love that it's right around the corner, and no dealing with crazed Chik-ers at Springfield anymore . Absolutely delicious veggiemachatatte taco and traditional camaron taco. Yum!! But, the cocktail. The cocktail!! El Rey del pop. Incredible. Go. Go right now read more

Taco Bamba Landmark - Little River Tnpk Taco Bamba - Tacos Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

FOOD, phenomenal! Customer service, outstanding! Tacos are great, with service speedy! Drinks are amazing. I will definitely be back. Chill vibe. Street corn was perfect. Yes, you have to pay for queso but the salsa is unlimited. Plenty of seating. Our hostess was great and very accommodating. Food was fresh and hot. Ordered shrimp and goat tacos, two words, another order.... Please. You can view your food, while it's being made, where else can you go and do that. Honestly, if you haven't had tacos that made you feel like this... you're missing out! read more

I'm happy with the service and the food and prices are very good with a fusion of international flavors and styles

Delicious food executed well with a wildly inventive and creative menu at fair prices. Great vibes inside and outside on the patio. And the chef and GM, Edwin, is amazing. Friendly, professional, just tremendous in every way. Corporate headquarters should hire him. read more

Stopped by because we were craving margaritas. The manager Lucas greeted us before we even walked in. We sat at the bar and he recommended the Porque Pop taco and the Bamba Fries. Both were absolutely amazing. The chicken in the tacos was crispy and really blended the two styles together. We had to give our compliments to the chefs. The service was amazing and I definitely would recommend this Taco bamba to anybody! read more

I was excited to go to their new location, as I it's down the street from my house. I ordered a veggie bowl. Later that day, I got food poisoning. Luckily I got better later the next day. Now I'm hesitant on going again and will go to other Mexican restaurants nearby. read more

Awesome tacos, cool ambiance, good service, crowded bur food still came out quick. A little pricey, but the food quality justifies it. We'll be back. read more

Chicken milanesa torta is outstanding. Breakfast sopa is very good and filling. Nuestros tacos and the classic tacos are outstanding. And that BOWL! Wow, both delicious and PACKED with veggies and healthy stuff. read more

The quesadilla is really bad it has maybe two small pieces of chicken in the whole quesadilla with no cheese. I never had such a bad food in my life. They need to get sue for this type of food.... read more

Poor service. Not well priced. Boring food. Too much good competition to settle for a so-so product.

this place is AMAZING! highly recommend the taco bamba and the carne asada quasadilla!!!! 10/10 read more

It's officially been a 37 minute wait time for 3 tacos. HOW????? Absolutely ridiculous to be waiting this long. Never coming back. Not worth the time read more

Dry dry dry. Salty salty salty. I don't know what's wrong with you NOVA ppl these tacos were pretty terrible. You could tell everything including the chips was just sitting out for way too long. The chips were cold and overly salty. If you want fresh tacos don't come here. Feel like I wasted so much money. read more

So I've always liked huevos rancheros in the chain since I started going to the one in Falls Church. I ordered them at the little river store, today and I had a list of small changes: eggs over easy, and extra of that excellent black bean purée. The waitperson, Ruth was very busy Covering the room alone at that moment. but she listened very carefully to my broken Spanish and. Confused English and wrote on the tablet. And the dish was excellent. Better than any place north of the Yucatán . Kudos to the store's recipes and. Order system and Most of all Ruth, for her care and attention. read more

Been to many other locations. The pros to this one is plentiful parking for now, easy off 395 exit, new/clean. Food was great as always, and I liked the site-specific options like the veggiemachettie taco. read more

If you're craving tacos this is the place! They're tacos are amazing and different at their different locations. Music is a little loud but the place is clean and fast service. Food is great though. read more

I've always loved Taco Bamba for their creative tacos and fresh salsas. I'm happy the company is doing well, and expanding all over the DMV because that means there is one conveniently located close to home. I've been trying to incorporate more veggies into my diet, so the have gotten the 'Pack the Bowl' twice in the last two weeks. It includes your choice of protein, kale, carrots, cabbage, sprouts, sweet corn and black bean quinoa, marinated avocado, cucumber pico de gallo, garlic herb spread, pickled onion and chile, Mexi-trail mix (toasted pumpkin seeds, crispy onions, crushed tortilla chips), salsa verde ranch. It's sooooo good and one of the best salad bowls I've had from a taco joint. It doesn't make me sad that I'm eating salad over tacos. The veggies are hearty and stand up nicely to the extra salsa I like to pour on top. I've tried it with both the carne asada and shawarma beef, and have equally enjoyed both. Highly recommend! read more

If not for Lucas or Lukas - however you spell this name. This location gets a 1. I order 11 tacos via Uber Eats. Received 9 in a seal taped bag. Clearly wasn't Uber driver. The two tacos missing where chicken Tingas. The one person in the group who doesn't eat beef/fish ordered those and of course they didn't arrive. We received 9 tacos, 3 gringas, 2 Asian ones, 1 shrimp, 3 barbacoa. I truly don't understand why it's so fucken difficult to double check delivery orders. Why is it so fucken hard to read a receipt before taping the bag and confirm everything is in the bag? We pay absurd upcharged menu fees, service fees, delivery fees, etc. For example my service fee was $9 for 11 tacos and I paid $10 tip, plus upcharged prices for every items I ordered - literally more than double regular prices - and those dumbasses who pack the bags don't have the common sense to double check that the order is accurate? Thankfully the manager who answered our call, Lucas or Lukas, drove to us with our missing items. He is the only reason those idiots didn't get a 1 star. Promote Lucas or Lukas, and for everyone else that was involved in failing to properly and accurately prepare an order... put them on a two week notice. Sorry not sorry - it's not that fucken hard to get an order right, especially an order of someone that pays absurd prices for delivery. read more

Love the Vienna location. Great atmosphere & food is amazing. The carne taco is absolute perfection. My friends are picky eaters & this place is a no brainer. They could use some better seating outside. Some tables were squeezed in the back, couldn't get there without having the other table move for me to pass. read more

So. Much. Salt. I ordered six shrimp tacos plus guacamole and chips to go. The tortillas were bland and unnecessarily thick taking away from the flavor of the (smaller than normal) shrimp and toppings. The guacamole was an odd shade of green and too salty. The chips were also way too salty. I typically love Mexican food and Taco Bamba, but this experience was a big disappointment. read more

This is a chaotic branch. The wait time was long for my one order and only when I asked why the wait was long did the man handling takeout tell me they made a mistake with my order and were redoing it. I read other reviews about this location describing a chaotic scene, I will go to another location next time. read more

I came in on a Monday to get one of my favorites here which is the torta with carnitas and as always I add an egg to it, so happen that on this day I went back home as I live 30 mins from this location, when I get home I was a bit upset that when I took a bite into the torta the egg was missing, as I called back to the restaurant, I was answered by Lucas the store general manager. Let me tell you the way that he carried himself and the way he made me feel that I was valued as a customer is rare to find now a days, he offered me to comeback for a torta on the house as well as chips and guacamole. To make one thing clear I didn't comeback for the free torta, but to thank Lucas as he really made me feel valued and cared for. It's rare to find managers specially General manager who will go above and beyond, this being the case. THANK YOU SO MUCH LUCAS. Your a very good manager as well as a kind person. Needless to say one of my best experience here and will be coming back soon. THANKS AGAIN LUCAS. read more

I'm amazed and thrilled they're keeping the quality up as Taco Bamba expands. I had the Dragon's Breath Veggie Torta last night and it was the best sandwich I've ever eaten. Just outrageously delicious. Crunchy and creamy and spicy and yum yum yum. Keep it up Bamba! read more

I really like Taco Bamba. I've been a fan since they had their first location. I usually like to keep it simple with the Bacho Nachos, Steak Quesadilla, or Carne Asada Tacos. I also like that they started offering their Horchata in a bottle instead of a cup when ordering delivery. I like that they are a modern taco restaurant, they have some interesting taco choices. read more

Don't get any of the tortas! You are better off getting the other items, the tortas are overpriced and half of what they fill it with.

We really enjoyed the mulita de birria, the bamba fries, and the churros! The fried rice had a lot more oil than we expected, but it reheats well mixed with some plain white rice. read more

Wicked good tacos. Decently priced and an ok ambiance. Better for take out. Outdoor seating good for summer

This is the best taco place I've found in this area so far. If you're getting tacos and not getting them "dirty style" you are a silly person and i pity you. Basically they add this chili sauce and grilled cheese. The queso dip can quality wise be a little wobbly in that sometimes it's thin as water, other times it's basically wet concrete. I find if it's thicker it's wayyy too spicy. Gets concentrated or something. Pretty solid quesadilla. The specialty tacos are different at every location for some reason. I'm still upset this location does not offer the pulled pork empanada that they sell at the Springfield location because it's amazing. I will withhold the 5th star on this review until my demands for the empanada be made available all locations is met. Balls in your court taco people. read more

Fantastic tacos and friendly banter. I like this place but the music is loud. It doesn't bother me but I would be hesitant to bring older folks. Try the watermelon margaritas. They're heaven. read more

I order three tacos and churros with dulce de leche. Tacos were horrible, meat was very dark -strange color- and with a strong after taste. The corn tortillas were ok but the whole thing was kind of dry. The churros were excellent! My only suggestion will be to serve them in a different way. It was 'too hard' to eat them trying to get the dulce de leche from the bottom of the cup :/ read more

Great food and excellent ambience. The food is something to die for. Always crowded need to bring more to the area.

Flavor!!!! This is no district taco. The flavors are complex and each element is clearly thought out. Fresh, tasty, and helpful staff. Also they have a really nice outside patio. Its in a parking lot but still feels private/festive. read more
