Taco Bamba never disappoints !! Have tried the other locations as well, all are great ! read more

This Taco Bamba has so much more space than many of their other locations and IMO the food was tastier and the quantity was larger. Also having the Mexican corn turn out dry at both their Falls Church and their Chinatown locations, the corn was perfect here! My favorite taco has to be the coco loco shrimp tacos! read more

Definitely one of the top taco spots in the DMV area! I'm not a big taco guy but my god these did not disappoint. Portion sizes are quite generous on each taco. I loved the chorizo and asada tacos the most. They also have a great fresh salsa bar, truly worth trying each out on its own. With so many locations in VA and DC, this is absolutely worth a try to satisfy a nice taco craving that we all usually have! read more

Taco Bamba - Tacos Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

Hot and heavy, and delicious with every bite. That is the best way to describe Taco Bamba. Thankfully for me, I live walking distance from the original location in Falls Church. We all know the deal by now that makes Taco Bamba a hallmark. Loud music, loud but fast service, and (relatively) cheap but excellent food. So why am I reviewing this restaurant again if there is nothing to add, you ask? Well, yes, the food here is still top notch and the prices are still fair. What differs from the Falls Church location are two things. 1.) There is much more seating and a more open dining area. I did not feel like I was sitting on top of other patrons. 2.) Yes, there is a bar. That means one thing, alcohol is served here. And there is plenty of seating to go around at it. Of course, with a bigger space comes a bigger menu, and the location of it is terrific. You would be oblivious not to see it. Go for two tacos here. In fact, if you are not driving, make it three. I guarantee you it is worth it. Famous last words, "In the name of G-d, go!" read more

I don't think I've met a single person IRL that doesn't like Taco Bamba. I've been a fan since they were just the one little location off route 7. I'm so glad they have more locations now which is a testament to how successful and yummy they are. I just wanted to speak on this chick fil a style taco they have called Vic-fil-a, a namesake for Chef Albisu. I don't know if this is just a seasonal special they have BUT NEVER GET RID OF IT BECAUSE IT WAS FLAT OUT AMAZING. I ate one and I was like omg why did I order only one of these. It is my new favorite taco that they offer. read more

This is now my closest Taco Bamba, and we are definitely here 2-3 times a month. Everything here is amazing. My defaults are either cup o bamba or tortilla soup, and Mexican street corn is a MUST. Their online ordering is really easy during the times of covid. There's some outdoor seating now, but I have yet to try it. The people blocking the restaurant to be in line for chik-fil-a drive-thru just don't know what they're missing out on. Park the car, and go get some delicious tacos. Seriously. read more

I will ALWAYS recommend this place because the food just speaks to me you know? I miss going to the Chinatown location since it was closer and had a couple special items that I love so much. This was my first time here in the VA location and it was pretty amazing. Carne Asada fríes, FIRE! Get it, you won't regret. Cubana Torta was delicious. Two types of pork and cheese?! So good! Taco de lengua & chicharrón never disappoints. My favorite sauce is the dark smoky one. read more

Taco Bamba - Cubana Torta - Tacos Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

The varsity of tacos were pretty descent. Others were just a not try again. The salsas were ok. The Chicharrón basket was nothing I expect. Looked clearly like a store bought bag and thrown in a paper tray. The taco bamba was just blah and the amount of meant was the size of your pinky nail. Just skippy on the meats for the tacos. It just seemed like utter chaos inside. The music was beyond loud. The staff some were nice others just looked at you crazy when I order a number of tacos to try. Paid for a bag of chips didn't get it and the cashier still won't give me some when I showed the receipt. When I did get chips came out like looking and tasting like Mission tortilla strips. Overall I'll choose chipotle over this place. read more

Awesome little taco bar. Good bar with decent selection of beer and liquor. Some higher end stuff and a wide variety of tequila. Some very unique and damn good street tacos. A good selection at the salsa bar too. Limited seating in this smallish place, but most people aren't there long just eating tacos. I had a draft El Guapo and two tacos; the Ricky Bobby and the Faiz Ali Bamba. Pleased with all of it and will be back! read more

Great food, great staff, horrible sound systems in most of the restaurants. I work near most locations, it's my go to lunch.

Been to this location no less than 8 times since it opened. Just keep waiting for that amazing experience that everyone always raves about. After today, I'm still waiting. Nothing more frustrating than ordering carryout in the rain for my vegetarian wife and child only to get home and realize the guacamole and chips were forgotten. Called the restaurant for help. Was asked a bunch of questions about my order number and name all before an apology. The apology only came at the end of the call when I pointed it out to the manager. Resolution you ask? A free order of guacamole and chips under my name for my next visit. Of course it's not really free since I already paid for it. So to the first person who goes there and gives them my phone #, you're welcome cuz I won't be back. read more

Taco Bamba - Tacos as pastor with Pacifico beer - Tacos Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

Possibly the best taco place in Springfield! Tacos range from $3-$5 depending on what you get so go ahead and be adventurous! You can keep it simple with $3 with their tender and juicy meat and onions and cilantro on corn tortillas. Or you can go for one of the more speciality tacos to get a full array of flavors in every bite. The barbacoa, steak, chicharrone, and lengua are my usual go to orders. This most recent visit I decided to try to fish tacos and fried chicken tacos as well. Everything came out extremely fast and delicious. They have sauces on the side for those that want that extra kick but the tacos are great on their own. Highly recommend for those are new to the area or even just anyone looking for some quick and easy to eat. They also have a full service bar in the middle of the restaurant so you can enjoy a cold brew or margarita with your tacos. Enjoy! read more

Taco Bamba - Tacos Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

We ordered carnitas tacos and carne asada tacos The tacos were overwhelmed by having 2 corn tacos wrapped around them. The meat had no sauce and was lacking in flavor. Even after trying the sauces provided, there wasn't enough flavor. The chips and guacamole was good and fresh, however. read more

$3.50 to $5.00 tacos. Price is a little steep but good quality. I got the Taco Bamba, Carnitas, and Barbacoa tacos. I thought they came with chips but I was mistaken. The step up of the restaurant was a bit confusing. As you enter, you are already in the bar area. If you only want food, you have to squeeze through the people sitting at the bar to find the line for food. The free salsa was great. The music was very loud, you have to scream to tell them your order. Even the staff had to yell out the order numbers; even then the customers could barely hear. read more

An online ordered that was supposed to be ready at 8:10pm was not ready until 8:40pm. The order pickup system at this location needs to improve. While the food tastes good I would've love to have more of it but they forgot 3 of my tacos. The drive and service was not worth the drive. I have seen them at their best and I just know they could do better. read more

Love Taco Bamba, Ricky Bobby, HTTH, grilled Mexican street corn and chicharrones (yes I was Greedy McGruff) are all outstanding. Service on a busy Saturday night was outstanding. The line moved quickly and food was fresh and prepared in a reasonable amount of time. Sauce bar was great for customizing the tacos. Be prepared for loud music and raised voices. Placing order and conversation requires getting close to whoever you are talking to. One huge negative, parking lot and entrances are shared with Outback, Chick-fil-A and other businesses; so getting in and out was intense. read more

Love the different tacos and the chips and guacamole. I ordered take out, my order was done fairly quickly.

I realize that I am a little late to visiting this place, but hey, better late than never, right? On a weekday lunch, this place was very, very steady (the Line built up from having only one register, but once ordered, the food came out fast!). $3 for normal tacos and $4 for specialty tacos with a splash of other foods that I did not get a chance to try. On this day, I ordered: 1- Chicharron - not my fav. It was drenched in a sauce that was too oily and rich to the point that I couldn't taste the meat. 1- Foo Fighter - by far the star of the show. The papaya salad combined with the crispy fish and pieces of hot peppers (yes its a spicy taco) was the perfect (Asian) crunchy combo! 2 tacos was honestly so filling for a lunch. I Love that everything is handwritten, but legible and in large font and bright colors. I realize that this place is now a "chain," but its still finger-lickin' good. I'm comin' back guys, thank you! read more

Taco Bamba - Foo Fighter & Chicharron - Tacos Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

My favorite fast food restaurant in the DMV area.. this place serves up some packed and amazing tacos. Tacos are either $3 or $4 so not the cheapest tacos out there but they definitely pack a punch. I appreciate that this place doesn't skimp on the meat and toppings. I've tried almost every taco on the menu and they all make u want to say "TACOOOO TUESDAYYY" like LeBron on every day of the week.

This is probably the most authentic option for Mexican food when it comes to chains in this area. They have a wide variety of meat options and serve alcohol! I ordered the Cup O'Bamba with carne asada, the Pack the Bowl, and the Quesadilla with carnitas! The Quesadilla was my favorite, it's so simple yet the chihuahua cheese really makes a difference in flavor! The pack the bowl is a close second. The Mexi-Trail Mix and Bamba Power Mix they use is a nice switch up from typical bowl offerings at Mexican restaurants. Be sure to check the menu for the location you're actually going to as different locations have slightly different offerings! read more

Another Taco Bamba location I go to a lot but haven't reviewed yet. This place is pretty consistent with the other ones as far as food quality but they have a slightly different menu than the others. This time I got my usual sope (with Asada) and an Arabe while my girlfriend got the Bamba wings. The sope was super filling and the Asada was grilled perfectly. The arabe also pretty good size compared to regular tacos had a good kick and a lot of chicken. I was surprised by the bamba wings. They were huge wings and the ranch dip with it was bomb. Of course you should come here because they also have a bar in the middle of the restaurant too but be careful because the lot can get busy due to the Chick-Fil-A. read more

Ahhhh finally we met! On my quest of all things taco over the weekend I found myself in the line at Taco Bamba fully consumed by the menu, as i tried to decide what i wanted before it was my turn. I figured I couldn't go wrong, it was packed in there. However the music and my mind were battling for first place. The music was hella loud so save your real conversation for when you leave, lol. Despite the long line, the longest wait is for your food itself. With my lucky number 6, I waited about 30 minutes for my actual food, after I paid they had just called number 188. Full of confusion as to what to order, I opted for 2 Taco Bamba's and totally forgot my corn on the cob but this gives me a reason t o go back. The tacos were phenomenal. The pairing of all the ingredients marry well together, If you are not a fan of all things spicy, the chorizo might turn you away but all in all you can take a swig of your drink and eat your way thru it. My only negative was watching them prepare the orders. I wish I hadn't. The prep line was really messy as it seemed that speed was primary and cleanliness was secondary. You might get a little of this and a little of that in your food but then again would you know, if you had not seen it. I was just a tad bit disturbing that they would place the taco shells directly on the counter instead of in the container. If something fell out ingredient wise, they would throw it back it. Parking is suspect as you probably wont be able to park close. Best bet would be to sit at the bar and order if you can get a seat. Once you do order and pay, make sure you listen for your number. Whoever 192 was missed out on there food this day. They called the number like 4 times, no one claimed it so they gave the food away to the closest person to the counter, for free. Waste not, want not huh? read more

Best tacos in the DC area. Always busy at this location. The menu is huge and unique. The staples are really good. But the special tacos are a treat. They have a bar there which is full service.

I would like to shout out to John!!! He said he would see me tommorow when I came back today. I'll be back just not today (in my Arnold S. voice). It has been pre-pandemic since I tried TB. I ordered to-go 2 - a Coco Loco Shrimp, a Ricky Bobby taco, and the El Bacho nachos. You called it John everything was good. There was just enough heat in the tacos. I added more with the hot salsa and hot sauce. The nachos were packed with good fresh toppings. The 2 take aways the were breaded - prefer grilled and there was a line that was slow moving. All in all I will be back soon to try some of the other menu items. read more

Food is very fresh. I am not a huge taco fan. My husband is so we went. They have many non-taco options. Some vegetarian options. I got nachos with ground beef and street corn. I have had street corn in California and Mexico and they are very close to those. Very tasty and every piece of corn was covered with the delicious seasoning. I plan on going back and try some of their breakfast options. read more

Taco Bamba - spicy 'shroom, birria taco, carnitas tacos - Tacos Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

We go here all the time. My 5 y.o. loves the breakfast empanada served all day. I like the quesadilla- crisp and comes with a super yummy green sauce (that isn't the one the usual self-serve sauces). My favorite tacos are the chorizo, Al pastor, Carne asada, and shrimp. At this point we've had almost all the tacos, the wings, the nachos, the corn, the asada fries, a burrito and more! And they're all delicious! Service is quick and considering how busy they get they still churn out the food in a reasonable time. My only docking here is the ambiance-- the music is SO LOUD. It's distracting and makes it very difficult to converse. Sitting outside is definitely the way to go. read more

These tacos are the bomb! Our favorites are (from the tradicionales): asada, chicarron, chorizo, lengua --- and (from the nuestros): taco bamba, coco loco shrimp, and faiz ali bamba. We've also tried the 3 Little Chanchos nachos, which were really good! read more

Taco Bamba - 3 little chanchos nachos, and assortment of tacos - Tacos Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

Tasty tacos. Good variety of items to choose from. Only downside is it's an open kitchen so it's a little warm inside.

The way that Taco Bambas are set up, it's hard for me to tell if it's the particular location's unique dishes or their execution that determines my rating. But they all have the same sauces and the smoky salsa here wasn't as blended, so I'll use that to inform my 4 stars. ++Small Biggie Burger: just an irresistible combo of burger flavors with a wise choice of flour tortilla ++Enter the Eggplant: ooooh, do they have these at the other Bambas? Cause this should be a vegetarian mainstay. Big bold flavors with a surprising crunchy texture from the tofu + Ricky Bobby: anything with a good piece of brisket tends to be tasty at Taco Bamba -- I wouldn't say it trumps the classic taco preparation but it's on-par ~+ Mallrat (nachos): pretty satisfying, standard fare. For $10, I'd just get the fries for $1 more and get more bang (volume and meat flavor) for your buck. Partner loved it and thought it was great regardless. ~+ Grilled pineapple margarita. Well made with lovely garnishes, just divisive! I hated the smokiness and partner loved the liquid smoke. -- Foo Luchador: just kind of sad. Fish was flavorless, dry. Felt underfilled and things just didn't come together. Simply tasted like peanut sauce and not much else which is just... okay. Would not recommend this even to pescatarians. Always a pleasure visiting the various Bambas. I like the seating in this location -- spacious, both communal tables and bar/rail options (communal and solo-friendly). Happy to come back when I'm in the area again! read more

I don't know how this place isn't more famous. Absolutely everything about it deserves 5 stars. First and most importantly: the food. Wow. I was so impressed by everything. The menu has a wide variety of Mexican cuisine for all tastes and diets, with lots of vegetarian friendly options. We ordered the loaded nachos with added carnitas, Mexican street corn, and some tacos. The nachos were HUGE, the meat juicy and perfectly cooked, and all the flavors of the vegetables and cheeses on top paired with the salsa tasted amazing. I've also never had such good street corn. Whatever crema they used on the corn with the cheese was delicious. My dad loved his tacos and made full use of the free salsa bar! Also equally as commendable are the prices. All our three orders cost under $17, and we were so stuffed we couldn't even finish everything. Especially for the huge portions, the prices were great. The actual restaurant itself adds positively to the experience. It wasn't crowded even at lunchtime, so it would be great for a casual lunch or dinner. Clean, spacious, and great lighting for food pictures! read more

Deliciousness - 4/5 Happiness - 3.5/5 Let's get right to it. The tacos are really good. The meats are flavorful. They have a cool selection, including tacos arabes that come in a pita-type shell. Al pastor or regular, they are both here. If you love tacos, this place offers quality and quantity. The rest is... just OK. The menu is not well organized and tough to read. The preparation took a long time, and dishes came to us sporadically at different times. The rice and beans were cold and unmemorable. But overall, I really enjoyed this place. The tacos were delicious, the music was great, and the vibe was cool. So if you want some tasty tacos, you'd be well served to go here. read more
