Taco Bamba, located at the Idylwood shopping center in Falls Church, offers creative, authentic tacos in the DMV. Its extensive, diverse menu features unique specialties and vegetarian options, all crafted with flavorful, fresh ingredients. This location is smaller than other Taco Bamba outlets I've visited, with limited indoor seating and patio seating available. Many customers choose to take out. The Lengua De Res Taco was okay, while the Shrimp Quesadilla delivered a well-balanced flavor from the shrimp and plenty of cheese. The Torta Bamba is generously filled with meats, pickles, avocado, tomatoes, and pineapple, and the portion size is ample. read more

Got a late night delivery and it was fresh and delicious ! We did the build your own kits and it was a nice amount of protein and fresh corn tortillas. I would have liked more cilantro and onion for toppings and would have appreciated more of the salsas but maybe could request it ? Packaging was good. read more

My wife craves Taco Bamba. Their Gringo taco with ground beef, cheese, etc. hits the spot every time. We order it on a flour tortilla and the tortilla is perfectly fried. The tacos are pretty big and two fill you up. There's also a salsa bar that we appreciate. Our eight-year-old daughter loves their rice and beans! read more

These are the best tacos I know of in the DMV, and I've tried many. The ingredients are fresh, there is a wide variety of different salsas (four, from mild to hot hot), and a wide variety of tacos as well, from veggie tacos to about 10 different kinds of meat. The best tacos are the daily specials - slightly more expensive but worth it. Only two downsides to this location -- no margaritas, and no Taco Tuesday. read more

It seems Taco Bamba cannot make a single bad dish. I had been running errands since early morning and did not have a chance to eat breakfast. I was close to taco bamba and thought I might just grab a taco que qualm my hunger at 11am. I had never noticed their breakfast menu and decided on trying to breakfast sope. The dough was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the yolk on the egg was runny but the white perfectly cooked. The avocado perfectly ripe. The chorizo seasoned everything perfectly. Chiles gave it the perfect level of spice. The service, as always, professional and prompt. read more

So good! I have been looking for decent Mexican food in the area and I also prefer to eat on the healthier side and this hit the spot! I ordered the pack the bowl with barbacoa and my boyfriend had the chicken tinga - both were great. The portions were good sized for the bowls, however, the side of guacamole is tiny (see photo). We ordered delivery so I can't speak to the service in the restaurant but delivery was fast and the food was well packaged! (No spilled salsas). I would order from there again and will have to stop in and check it out in person. read more

Extremely Disappointed- I had one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had at this Taco Bamba location. Not only was my food cold, but we also saw roaches inside the restaurant. That alone was enough to ruin our appetite, but what made it even worse was the reaction from the staff. When I brought it to the worker's attention, she didn't seem surprised or concerned at all. All she said was that she would "tell the manager," and that was it. No urgency, nothing. We couldn't finish our meal after that and ended up throwing it away. For a place with such a big name in the area, this left a horrible taste and a terrible impression. I'm really disappointed and won't be returning. read more

Great tacos and unique flavors!! Service is always really quick as well. They have different sauces to take with you to accompany the tacos! Highly recommend! They've expanded a lot in the past few years and rightfully so! Each location has slightly different tacos too read more

A truly unique place. I love their special tacos. Today featured two: Iron Mike (cauliflower) and carne picada (chopped brisket). I'm a big fan of the Black Pearl and El Beso. I've not had anything I didn't enjoy, so take a chance and try it all! read more

This place is all about a wide variety of tasty tortilla tacos. I've tried many of their recipes and have loved them all. Al Pastor Arabica Shrimp and Mango, as I recall Carnitas Language Al Carbon Are some that immediately come to mind. I typically don't drink drink sodas, but I enjoy a Jarritos soda when I get my tacos. Many flavored to choose from, but Toronja is a favorite. read more

Food was great! Authentic for sure. Customer service was meh Perfect bite to eat before we hit the town. We saved two tacos to eat later that night and still just as good. read more

Really good chain restaurant option. I've been to the Fairfax one, but first time here. I had the Carne Asada (seared beef) and Tinga (braised chicken) tacos. I also had the guacamole and chips. The tacos were good, but missed some greens on it. Good flavors, I added some guacamole to each bite. Very good. Really enjoyed the guac. Very well made. Could be a bit spicier but added some zing from the salsa bar. **Really fun option with their salsa bar. This dresses up any meal and bite. They have to-go cups so you can take it with you. Very limited seating outdoors. Bar-like seating indoors. I think this is a popular to-go place. Definitely consider them if you are looking for a quick, tasty bite. read more

Good (but oily food) food.. It's tasty but cannot be your dinner option more than once a month ( at least for me) as I find it oily. Definitely an authentic South American food though as I have now visited SA and know their food landscape. The goat items are unique/special. read more

Great experience my tacos and corn was amazing. The mango agua fresca was fresh and tasty. I appreciated the service given they were informative and made sure to keep the seating area clean. I would absolutely return because everything was tasty especially the steak. read more

I'm always surprised to see Taco Bamba on lists of best tacos in the area as this place has always been underwhelming to me. I've been here a few times and and had over a dozen tacos and the theme I've noticed is that they are dry. The meats are dry, some are even hard. The flavors don't really stand out. This location specifically doesn't have a lot of seating and gets cramped. I personally think there are way better taco options in the area. read more

Always a great experience when I go to Taco Bamba, and I love that at every location they have a unique taco you can order that aren't at certain locations! read more

Everything with breakfast was great probably shouldnt have gotten something that said spicy for breakfast. Spicy shroom is ok but spicy big Mike is good and wtv the breakfast taco was that I had was good read more

I will keep this review short and simple. Its a chain, but its a damn good chain. Fresh tacos that you see them make it right there. Its way better than the other guys in the area. If you are on the fence, stop reading this review and just go get some good tacos IMO. read more

Great food and service. The staff was so nice in celebrating my wife's birthday. Tacos and drinks were awesome!

This place is fantastic. It has excellent food. My favorites are quesadillas and ceviche. If you want something full of flavor and fresh, that is the place to go. The ambiance is laidback and relaxing. You can either get your meal inside or outside, and the service is fast, easy, and reliable. They know what they're doing. read more

I ordered the birria tacos and they were delightful! As an appetizer I has the corn on the cob and it was sooo good . I could only eat 1 taco because they were loaded. My husband is vegetarian and he had the mushroom taco and squash taco and he said they were so good. He also had a side of pinto beans and rice which was also yummy! read more

Food was good as always, but varies between locations. Service was great per usual and the ambiance was fun and had upbeat music.

Taco Bamba is my go-to taco shop when I'm in the DC area. This was my first time at the Falls Church location. It's really small- only counter seating- and the biggest downside is there's no bar. They were playing awesome classic rock, but it was very loud so don't come here if you want to have a conversation with someone. The man who took my order (Sandro?) was super nice and personable. The nachos were the best I've had in the area. read more

Food was amazing can't wait to go back. Found them through TikTok. You won't be disappointed

Came to this Taco Bamba location after going to the one in Fairfax (on Braddock), and I was impressed with how consistent the tacos are across locations. Got the Carne Asada and Al Pastor tacos, which were really good- the flavor was on point. One thing I really like about Taco Bamba is that each location has tacos that are unique to that particular location. Today I tried the Black Pearl taco, which came with crispy grouper, coleslaw, ink aioli, avocado, pickled onion, and scallions. The grouper was cooked well and was crispy, but I personally didn't think the taco had much flavor as a whole, so I probably won't be getting that one next time, but I still appreciate that each location offers recipes that are unique. Overall, you can never go wrong with Taco Bamba. read more

Probably my favorite taco chain in the dmv. Solid tacos and appetizers and nachos. We came to the falls church location during the bar crawl week and we're blown away by the mango drink they had. The steak nachos were also solid. I got shrimp tacos, chicken tacos, and also chicken rings tacos. All were perfect. Can't wait to go back and try some more. read more

The tacos al pastor are amazing - the best in town. I get with the beans and rice, also excellent.

This is my favorite place in the DMV for tacos. There's not much seating at this location, but their food travels well. The Taco Bamba taco is my favorite. It has asada, bamba chorizo, guacamole, pickled onion, pickled chile, cotija, cilantro, and chicharron. The Mexican grilled corn on the cob is delicious as well. The chips are hit or miss, but the salsas are on point, as is the guacamole. The location sizes are not consistent across the chain and this one, the original location, is on the smaller side. The Springfield location has more expansive seating and a full service bar. You can't go wrong here. read more

Taco Bamba Falls Church - Tacos Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

Flying into Dulles from California, I needed a late night dinner spot for a Sunday evening that was on the way towards DC. I came upon this place on Yelp and saw it had 2k+ reviews and was like no way a taco spot has this many reviews. Let me tell you, they have 100% earned the hype and Taco Bamba had one of THE best carne asada tacos I've ever had in my life. I'm from San Diego as well so I am super annoying about if a taco is good or not much to the chagrin of my husband. Don't read any more reviews, just go here and see what's up for yourself!!! read more

Love Taco Bamba & this is the second time visiting this location. We got a Cubano Torta & chips & salsa to share for lunch. The torta was huge! (that's what she said my Office peeps lol). So glad we shared because half was a generous portion. It was very fresh & packed with ham, shredded pork, & accouterments. I will say that as good as it was it we both found it a bit too salty & we could not finish our halves. The first few bites were subtle but the more you ate, the more it packed a salty punch. The salsa was fresh & delish with a nice little bite to it and the chips were freshly fried. Staff was great and will be back for my usual tacos! read more
