    Margaritas: (from left to right) seasonal white peach, mango, strawberry, spicy serrano
    Nomso A.

    My friend and I came out for a happy hour! The drinks are really good we got all four margaritas they were strong for my friend but as a heavy weight they weren't really moving me. The wings were so good I honestly wish I got more! As someone who's picky with French fries having some loaded fries were great too it was just a little too much sauce for me. The bartender was great and the music was honestly the vibe I needed. I would come back again!

    Stopped by Taco Bamba and it always lives up to the hype. The tacos are creative, flavorful, and packed with fresh ingredients. There are so many options on the menu that it almost makes it hard to choose, but that's part of the fun. Everything tasted fresh and well seasoned, It's a casual, laid-back spot that's great if you're craving something quick but still really good.

    The Chicken taco was Super juicy and well flavored. The other fries were great! They were flavorful and the fries had a good texture. The burger Taco was super good. It had a perfect flavor and I really liked the pickles. The restaurant is kind of loud. there's yelling for orders and the music is also a little loud, but it wasn't too crazy. Just a little much for me. It wouldn't stop me from coming back though. The churros were pretty good! great texture and pretty good taste. the caramel was also pretty good. The Horchata was smooth, but it sticks your mouth a little bit. It was fresh. I probably wouldn't get it here again though. The chips were crunchy and good. The guac was OK. It doesn't taste the most fresh, but it doesn't taste stale. I think they probably made it earlier that day. It doesn't really have a lot of things in it so it's pretty plain and I probably also wouldn't get it again. All in all, I would come here mainly for the main dishes like the tacos, and if I'm feeling it, the churros. I'd def come again

    Taco bamba is a 10/10 when you are craving easy/fast/delicious tacos! Their best feature is the unique types of tacos at each location, such as a hamburger taco or bbq taco! All of the options are dressed up & down and are worth the try if you are into fusion! This is usually a togo spot for me but sitting down has its perks...a full salsa bar & really good margaritas! They have bar or booth seating and play sporting events too! The service is quick & pleasant, and the delivery is always on par! Definitely try the next time you want to be a little different! (They also have normal tacos if you are boring)!

    The service was welcoming and friendly. I have been here before and it's like nothing changed the service was still great. I have always liked the choices on their menu. I am sure if you are a taco fan you will appreciate the food. I got the B.E.C Empanada- delicious, it hits you in the good feeling. I truly enjoyed every bite. Then I got two Tacos one Breakfast and one Traditional. Both freshly made and I made the right choice. I was well feed and pleased. Last thing Taco Bamba plays music nonstop so be prepared for that because not all of the songs are going to be your favorite. So, please do give them a try and let me know what you think.

    Although I spent a short time at Taco Bamba, I had a very nice experience. Generally, speaking Taco Bamba is nice restaurant that specializes in street tacos. OMG, the spot has an AMAZING selection of taco combinations from your traditional/standard sort to more innovative tacos. For my dining experience, I went with four tacos (yes, I was starving): 1. One Night in Bangkok: shrimp & spicy chorizo larb, mint, basil, chiles, and crispy onion. 2. El Gringo: ground beef, bacon, lettuce, ranch, pico de gallo, and cheddar quesadilla 3. Fredneck BBQ: bbq pork shoulder, morita slaw, pickled onions, jalapeno, and cilantro 4. Johnny Danger: crispy pork chicharron, peanut chili crisp, hot honey, yuzu basil aioli, red onion, cilantro, scallion, and pickled habanero With the exception of El Gringo, I was impressed by all of my tacos with One Night in Bangkok and Johnny Danger being my favorite tacos. Don't get me wrong, El Gringo was not bad at all...it's just wasn't as good as my other three tacos. Also, the tacos (about $5-6 per taco) are generously stuffed with amazing ingredients. I thought the service was pretty good - the bartender was hilarious and made some great recommendations. While the tacos are made to order, the restaurant prepares them pretty fast. In fact, I think I received my tacos before receiving my margarita. ;) Price-wise, I thought the prices were pretty comparable to other fusion-style taco spots in the area. Although Taco Bamba is a little out of my way, I am more than willing to make this commute to try out some more of its tacos.

    Chicken tacos
    Whitney L.

    Decided to try out Taco Bamba since my boyfriend and I used to get it all the time in Shirlington, VA. Obviously, you have to get the tacos here, it's what they're known for! The line moves quickly but they are busy. Our food took awhile (at least 15 minutes) to throw together a total of 7 tacos (4 were beef, 3 chicken). So personally, I think the kitchen could move a bit faster. It's noisy casual. I brought my dog in just to place an order and leave. No one said and anything and he was very well behaved.

    I said in my review of the Gaithersburg location, I'm fanatical about these tacos. The taco menu is divided into two parts, tacos tradicionales and tacos nuestros. I mostly traffic in the latter, but do not sleep on the traditional tacos. My wife's order always includes a birria, dirty style (flour tortilla, griddled with cheese on it). Standouts include the MoCo crab taco and Johnny Danger. Food comes out quick and the outdoor patio area adds a more relaxed option for seating over the normally-quite-loud indoor seating.

    When you walk in it looks like a loud bar. Yes, they do have a bar as you walk in and it throws you off. No ask me if I need help. I walk around in this place lost, until I found the register. The young man was more focused on placing chips instead of taking my order. I was hoping to get a great torta, taco and corn. I would tell you that the chicken in the torta taste old. The Carne Asada Taco no flavor. The Mexican corn was good. This is my second Taco Bamba I visited and I will say "I don't recommend eat at these restaurants."

    The food is great. They're happy hours are the best they're serving. Staff is the best. Their manager is awesome. He's just the nicest most personable guy the bartenders very personable and it's almost like your hometown corner bar and everyone likes that so taco Bamba is the place to be if you gotta go go on taco Tuesday night or any night for happy hour and you won't be disappointed

    First time trying Taco Bamba. Tacos were very flavorful, but the meat was a bit dry. Got the pack the bowl for my mom. She enjoyed the variety of lettuce mix. Went right before the main lunch hour. Not very busy on a Sunday. Just a few tables of people. Got ours to go. Wait was minimal. Packing was good.

    og breakfast taco - really good and filling.
    Jeff B.

    Waiting for the bookstore to open at Congressional Plaza and went for a walk around the strip mall. And there it was - a sign outside Taco Bamba reading "free coffee with breakfast". Oh my goodness. I ordered a single OG BREAKFAST TACO (cheddar omelet, bamba chorizo, guacamole, crema, cotija, pickled onion, cilantro, pico de gallo). It cost only $4.50 and I could swear it was made with love. It was chock full of ingredients in just the right proportions. The chorizo and pickled onions were the stars of the show, with the other flavors combining perfectly. The corn taco was delish. And the coffee was good too. They have a number of interesting tacos and other items on the menu and I'll be back. There's also a salsa bar with a half dozen different salsas/sauces. I got the hot one and it was both hot and had flavor - always a good combo. Nice vibe here. There's a large bar. The music is a bit loud. I wish I could report on more of the food here, but the single breakfast taco was filling.

    Tinga Taco and Pollo al Carbon taco
    Jessica A.

    Had take out to celebrate a friend's birthday and it was delicious. I had a tinga taco and pollo al carbon taco and both were delicious. The meat was tender and flavorful. Really enjoyed these tacos and look forward to trying more in the future!

    Is delivery available in the Rockville area? their website doesn't allow me to place a delivery order within Rockville.

    I would not want delivery from this place as by the time you received your food it would be cold.

Chimichanga - large portion and finished with no complaints. Queso ( cheese) Quesadilla : right on point. Kids chicken tenders : embarrassed that we order this but something for the kiddos who haven't or are still developing their palates. Wouldn't recommend though. A bit dry. Wonderful selection of drinks : fountain drinks, frozen lemonade ( delicious) and horchata ( great). They do have a nice bar with a wide selection. Ambiance was laid back and quite quiet with the busy road nearby. 4.35 stars.

They were better than I expected. All looks very appetizing and smell so good. It seems really homemade style, fresh ingredients and aromatic. The chicken empanadas are surprisingly huge and you got 2 pieces for $11, that is reasonable, for me. As well as Tacos cost just about $3-4 each, it is a soft Taco with corn tortilla and flavorful seasoned filling, plus green salsa - that's perfect combination. I have not much to say about service, as it was a take out by online order but it was smoothly pick-up, everything was ready and packed nicely when I was arrived. The restaurant is quite tiny and old building at the back, but there are plenty free parking available around. Mainly for take out order but I think you can dine-in too - there are some seating table inside and outside. The Trippy Taco menu seem variety and interesting. They have not only Taco, but also a lot selection of Burrito, Soup, Quesadillas, Sandwich. Nacho and Fries. Yes, don't judge a book by its cover before you explore it.

Pictures are from when I got home with my food. Needless to say, for $32 or so (which includes a 20% tip), I had enough food for 3 meals. The Gorditas, while not necessarily healthy, definitely fill you up. The Tacos Dorados were very good for a late night, post drinking (water, of course!), dinner, and the chicken tacos were excellent for a next-day lunch. Accompanying my food were two different sauces -- a red sauce that did not have much flavor, but was scorching hot on the palette and a green sauce that was very tasty and moderate in heat. Overall, an outstanding choice for authentic Mexican food that was very, very good.

Love the salsa bar -- the salsas taste fresh and there's something for everyone. If you aren't vegetarian the chicken is tasty and the chicken burrito is a safe, decent choice. Overall Negatives: This is not a great place if you are vegetarian. I know they have veg items but they don't get the same attention to flavor and quality that the non-vegetarian items get. That's why my husband rated his chicken burrito higher than I rated my veggie tacos. We had more misses than hits here. Chicken burrito: minimal beans, lots of rice and pulled chicken that both had great flavor. A marginal hit, just really needed some texture because a tortilla filled with just chicken isn't a great burrito. Its's a "just fine" burrito. Veggie tacos: barely any beans or rice. Mostly big chucks of avocado (weird to not dice it) and sliced tomato and onion (again weird -- just dice it). All topped with a dairy bomb of sour cream and queso fresco that caused the whole taco to lose its structural Integrity. Desperately needed lots of salsa for flavor because nothing else had any. The thing is, you can make rice flavorful. You can make beans with flair and fun and taste. They just don't here. Disappointing miss. Nachos: good chips, good cheesy sauce. Barely any beans again and the big slices of avocado, onion, and tomato (about the size you see on a burger) made it difficult to eat anything but the chips and cheese sauce. Not "nachos" and definitely not a hit for us. Unfortunately this just wasn't for us. It's great to have stuff on your menu that accommodates different types of diners but it's important to actually show the "other" food equal attention to quality and flavor.
