This review is purely for their street corn and horchata! A friend and I had a craving for elotes so we stopped in strictly for elotes. While we were here, they were playing some Rock music over the speakers. While I didn't mind the choice in music, I thought the music was a bit too loud since my friend and I struggled to talk to each other. Our order was completed and we enjoyed it within five minutes. I thought the elote was a little too dry and could benefit from a little more mayo so that the cotija cheese and pepper powder can stick better. The horchata had a fruity aftertaste to it which I wasn't a fan of and I ended up not finishing it because the fruity aftertaste was too obvious. I've heard good things about their tacos so I'll be sure to try some next time and maybe I'd request more mayo for their corn. Overall, I had an okay time here but I would totally visit again. read more

Taco Bamba Vienna - Street corn - Mexican Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

In August 2021, I was staying with a couple friend who lived about half a mile from this Taco Bamba location and we decided to order takeout on a rainy Friday evening. We ordered directly off the restaurant's website and our order was ready for pickup about 40 minutes later. Between the 3 of us, our order came to about $120 after tax, which covered about 16 tacos, 2 orders of churros, and appetizers of elotes and chips with salsa, guacamole, and queso. Out of all the tacos we got, the favorites were the crispy shrimp, birria, al pastor, and sweet meen tacos. The fillings were generous and really flavorful. All 3 of us each got one taco bamba, but this turned out to be our least favorite taco, as we found it to be too dry and not sufficiently flavorful. This was my first time trying elotes and I did really like them although my friends indicated Taco Bamba uses a pretty heavy hand with the cheese/seasoning so if you want something less salty, these elotes might be a bit much. I loved the churros (which came 5 per order), which surprisingly stayed warm and crispy despite being taken to go and then waiting until the end of the meal. I did notice they did not seem to be made with cinnamon sugar (or if the were, the cinnamon taste was not strong), which was fine with me since I'm pretty neutral about cinnamon, but one of my friends seemed to miss it. Overall, we had a very filling meal at an affordable price, with some standout tacos and some others we were less a fan of. I would like to come back and maybe dine in one day, since I think the tacos would benefit from being eaten hot, on the spot. Definitely a solid option if you're in the area and in the mood for tacos. read more

Taco Bamba Vienna - Elote - Mexican Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

My new favorite taco shop in the DC metro area!!! Traditional style street tacos (that are correctly Mexican in size) and a large variety of fusion flavors, plus non-taco dishes like pozole, tortas, sopes, etc. ... And prices are so reasonable: traditional style tacos $3 and fusion style tacos $4. Of the fusion/specials style - 2 thumbs up for: crispy shrimp, bulgogi beef, beef brisket, braised goat (birria), grilled octopus (pulpo al pastor), grilled shrimp 1 thumb for: taco bamba Of the traditional style - 2 thumbs up for: al pastor (seasoned bbq pork), chorizo (seasoned pork sausage), carnitas (shredded pork) carne asada (grilled steak) * sopes (thick, flat bread) here are larger than the ones in Mexico; about twice the size of the tacos They also have agua fresca (horchata, sandía, fresa, etc.), which is authentically Mexican! And if you want alcohol, they have a nice, hip bar right there in front. read more

Taco feast! We had a mission to try many tacos, preferably very different in flavors and ingridients. Mission was successfully accomplished. Not only that, we enjoyed the journey the flavors took us on. Here is what we got with a quick summary: - Lengua de Res Taco - absolutely delicious! Must try! Lengua is a beef tongue taco, the tongue meat is so tender, so flavorful! It is one of the favorites. - Carnitas taco - Classic! Delicious! There was a piece of fat on the taco and it was like a butter. Whatever magic they do to the meat/fat, please don't stop. - Crunchy shrimp - Simply yummy! - Bahn - Mijo - this one was inspired by a Vietnamese sandwich Bahn mi. It was a good execution. Pork belly was absolutely delicious! - Tripa taco - this one was the least favorite, for both my husband and I. We enjoy tripe in Pho or Chinese soups, but intestine was a bit out of our comfort zone but we took the risk. Fried intestine was crunchy, chewy, with not much flavor. I would rather enjoy any other tacos from this list. - Birra Taco - Spicy goat - it was braised goat meet with a kick and tons of flavor. - Carne asada - another classic, always delicious. If you don't feel experimental and want something good and satisfying, this one will hit the spot. - Wu's Garden - octopus was melting in my mouth, so tender and flavorful. It was one of the dinner's favorites, both my husband and I were very impressed. ** Non Taco Dishes** - Chipotle Dusted Chicharron - Tasty snack! Great alternatives to chips, fries or even nuts. Crunchy, a bit spicy and overall satisfying. - Bumba Wings - this one was a surprise, a good one. Wings were a bit too big for my taste in terms of size (I enjoy small wings more) but the flavors were there. And the sauce the wings were served with was incredible. I am not sure what was in the sauce but I learned that it paired nicely with chicharrones as well.... This place is definitely worth of checking out. The next goal will be to explore their non-taco menu... read more

BLUF: Clean, affordable, delicious, extensive menu and friendly staff. Get the street corn and the signature Taco Bamba. The menu is overwhelming, but I look forward to trying everything on it based on our first trip! Imagine District Taco's big brother. The Taco Bamba was a great choice, as was the San Diahhhgo and the Spicy 'Shroom. The fish in the San Diahhhgo was a bit small, but still tasty enough to get again. All of the tacos were well packed, so $4 a piece is reasonable. Getting two tacos and street corn was enough to fill up. The salsa bar is definitely worth indulging. Chile Arbol and Morita are both hot but are delicious. There appears to be a pretty good happy hour (photos attached), and the bar seemed to be very well kept. Everything from food to drinks gets made right in front of you, so you can see the clean prep spaces. The staff is very friendly and all of the tables are constantly being cleaned. The outdoor patio is a great place to enjoy the nectar of the gods produced by Taco Bamba. You're getting a great meal that is thoughtfully curated for $25/couple. Only downside is the plastic cups, lids, straws, and salsa bar cups; seems a bit dated when competitors seem to use paper. read more

Some of the best Tacos I've had in a long time, Taco Bamba is serving some of the best tacos alongside vegan options with unbelievable flavors and spices! Everything looked really good, got 5 tacos to share with my cousin alongside an order of nachos. Lines were long but go quick. Not too many seating options in this location, but we were able to sit on the booth to watch them make all the yummy tacos. I would personally recommend the sagndieeeeego taco, el pastor or the vegan option specialty tacos (mushroom or squash) were my favorites. Also got the horchata to try but it was just ok. You get to watch them make everything fresh and there chips are super thin and crispy! A bit on the pricier end but you really get your money's worth. These are good sized tacos, not your 2 bite and finished sized tacos. Parking is alittle difficult to find at this location too. read more

Wanted to try this place for awhile. Ordered Tacos de Lengua ( beef tongue) and Carne Asada tacos. For some reason they fried the beef tongue. That would not be traditional. They are supposed to be tender and juicy. Not to mention it was extremely greasy. The Carne Asada was cut into big chunks, fried (Asada means grilled). Also very greasy and salty. My boyfriend ordered Carnitas Tacos. Again, very greasy and a weird spice in the marinade. When it comes to real Mexican food, please keep to tradition, not adding chefy "pops" of taste. We were spectacularly disappointed. read more

One of our favorite local taco spots. You can't go wrong. We're a meat lover family and they don't skimp on that on the tacos. I only remembered to take a Yelp photo after half way through our meal because it was so good! read more

Taco Bamba Vienna - Mexican Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

Parking - OMG, the parking here is horrendous. It's always full even if there is a huge parking lot. Service - meh... it's ok Food - i honestly think the original taco bamba is way better. Came here the week after they opened, and holy cow, the lines were crazy. People were waiting 40 minutes - hour for food. They got the system better a month later when i came back yesterday. I got my original since i wanted to compare between the two places. The taco bamba i had today was really dry, no flavor, and the tortilla was just dry and bland. The corn was dinky, had some rotton spots, and they should have not sold it. The shrimp with noodles was interesting but it was drenched in the sauce which made it really salty. Overall, the flavor isn't as prominent as it is in the falls church location. Even as busy as it is in fall church, they still can nail the flavor and moistness every single time. But here, it's like they don't care because all of the people coming through. If you haven't been to the falls church location, defeintly go there and compare. Although, that location is really tiny compared to this one. read more

I'm in love with Taco Bamba! It's one of the best Mexican casual chains in northern VA. The portions are large, prices low, and truly some of the best nachos and elote I've ever had. The interior is casual but clean and modern. You order yourself at the counter and take a seat at a high-top bar or in tables and wait for the food to be delivered. Ours came out in just minutes and was delicious. I can't wait to go back and try more! read more

I adore Taco Bamba in Falls Church, so I couldn't be more thrilled when I learned (months ago - been waiting with bated breath for this location to open) they were going to open a Vienna location. Went there with my husband for lunch, and while there were kinks, as new businesses often experience, I'm happy to report that the quality is up there right with the Falls Church location. Chef Albisu was there cooking today, presumably to ensure that things are off to a good start, and boy were they! So, this location is bigger, has 2x (approximately) more seating, and a BAR. Yep, you read that right - a bar. When my husband and I arrived this afternoon, we weren't surprised to find it packed. We actually started out in line but got lucky as two bar patrons got up, so we snagged those seats. Tip - if you sit at the bar, you don't have to wait in line - you can order right there and they will bring your food to you, just like a restaurant, so that's a major bonus! Oh, and the place is LOUD. Not just because it's hardwood floors and hard tables, metal trays, loud music, tons of customers, open kitchen...just be warned, if you're looking for a quiet meal, you're not going to get it here. I ordered the Arabe taco and the swordfish taco, and my husband ordered an Arabe as well and the new "sheep" taco (goat meat) - this is an item that is not on their menu at Falls Church; the meat was incredibly tender with an amazing blend of spices. He got a mezcal-based cocktail and I got the sangria. I loved the sangria - not too sweet, and very refreshing. If you're a mezcal fan like my husband, you'll like the drink selection - I think I counted 3 mezcal cocktails. As for our tacos, the meats were cooked beautifully, they were juicy, everything was just delicious. The only kink of the afternoon came when they let me know that they'd run out of swordfish. I ordered the Ma's Krab instead, which I really enjoyed (they didn't upcharge me the $2 for the replacement taco since they were out of the one I wanted). The food was so delicious and I devoured it so quickly that I forgot to take pictures - the horror! I'll have to rectify that next time. It's a little tight trying to get to the sauces, so keep that in mind - also can be a little tricky navigating back to your seat and trying not to spill on anyone waiting in line. I couldn't be more thrilled that they're open - I can't wait to go back and try more of the menu, especially the newer items that aren't on the Falls Church Menu (the nachos are quite intriguing)! read more

Taco Bamba Vienna - Mexican Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

Out of the three Taco Bamba locations I've been to, this location is by far my favorite. The Vienna location is much more spacious in seating and has a bar. The tacos even taste better at this location. With that said, the menu selection is huge and was overwhelming for me at first glance. The tacos are very sizable for their price, feeling filled after two! My usual is the Arabe but if you're up for a challenge, the Torta Bamba will put you out. Overall, Taco Bamba is a quick and easy pick for satisfying your taco craving! read more

First time here today and it was great. The staff is very friendly. The restaurant gave a large variety of food items you can order. The tacos are at a very good price which is 3$ a taco. They do have a lot of other things than tacos but personally I love tacos. Out of all the tacos I got today, I like the beef tongue and steak the most! There are also sauces provided for the tacos. I would definitely come here again! read more

Taco Bamba Vienna - I believe beef tongue and steak tacos - Mexican Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

Can I go back tomorrow?! Very good, just great carne asada tortas and bamba fries! Very popping and crowded at lunch.

Food: 5 Comfort in the restaurant: 0 I can't say it clearly enough - "Grab those tacos and RUN." I loath the atmosphere of these stores. It's so freaking loud, prepare for your artillery days PTSD to go to max level. It's like trying to get food in a shitty Euro bar in Budapest. Like being inside of an ambulance with the sirens on. Like having new born triplets at 2AM. Terrible. Why can't there be an equally good taco place elsewhere in Vienna so that I can stop being forced into coming here for tacos? OR, to the owner/manager, for the love of undamaged hearing, turn the music down! read more

I used to love this place. So much that while looking for homes in Vienna, VA, I wanted to be within walking distance of this place. I have ordered from here over 2 dozen times during the pandemic. We likely have another 5* review I have posted for this or another location. I am regretful to share that the quality has gone way down the last 3-4 times I have ordered from here. They seem to have gotten very complacent, maybe given how busy they've managed to be throughout the pandemic. The tacos now represent quantity over quality, every other taco is over salted to a point where I can't go past 2 bites. The assembling of tacos also looks very careless now. Today, I just threw out most of the Arabe and the Tony Khoury taco which were both way over salted and lacking the good flavors. Tried sweet meen for the first time and it was a disappointment (too sweet and kinda bla). I just hope this is a temporary blip in quality and my fav taco place gets its act together and return to its former glory :(. In the mean time I am going to bartaco in Mossaic to enjoy their more delicious gourmet, even though overpriced, tacos. read more

Even though I live closer to this location, I would still drive all the way to their OG location. I've gotten carry out several times during the pandemic & I'm wowed everytime. This place is so consistent! I get the lengua (beef tongue) torta everytime. Usually its a hit or miss with the beef tongue. I've had some that has been very chewy but here its very consistent & always tender. Its DELICIOUS. The tongue is slow cooked to perfection & literally melts in your mouth. The torta itself is huge & really well stuffed with meat & other goodies like avocado, veggies, cheese, & refried beans. Tongue sounds scary but it really just tastes like super tender beef. Give this a try, you won't regret it. read more

Maybe not so authentic but oh so delicious!! The quality of meat, freshness of veggies, variety of salsas and sauces is what makes it rise above the rest. The place is always packed. As a Mexican lady from Los Angeles, CA., I was being skeptical and critical before I even tasted the food. I was rushing to judgement to be proven wrong!!! Some things were a miss, like the horchata was too concentrated and too sweet but to be honest the flavor profiles and food fusions were on point!! read more

I forgot to take a photo but the food was delicious. Absolutely delicious. Additionally, taking COVID seriously (masks required). Boyfriend got tacos - these are some of the best I've had lately. Meat = succulent, and great flavors and variety. I got a super torta cubana and it was soooo good. My boyfriend and I came to Vienna to buy a bike but we honestly decided we would specifically come back here to eat more tacos here. The playlist also is fantastic Finally, I want to note that staff was fantastic and really making sure things were handed off in a speedy fashion, well organized, and a woman at the end of the line was triple checking that orders were correct and not missing anything, like an additional sauce, and I note this as so great because it does happen fairly often in other places that folks forget to add smaller items that are ordered like sauce. Great food and service. And enjoyed the decor read more

Bad customer service. Don't care if you have a table to sit at or not. The food was so salty that I had to get couple of guacamole to be able to eat everything we bought. They don't let you sit inside and outside, the only have 3 small tables. So we had to go over to the restaurant next to them and they were kind enough to let us sit and eat! 6 workers inside and they didn't care to come out and out more tables. If it's carry out only, then they should have a sign so you would know what to expect. They are pricey too compare to Taco places in the area. Thanks to MOD pizza for letting us sit and eat our food at their location. read more

tl;dr unique/incredible cocktails and a great taco menu with interesting fusion tacos. The food is a little spicier by default than most places, so if you're not into that, pick somewhere else. I came here for the first time tonight since I noticed that University Mall is getting a Taco Bamba. I wanted to see what I'm in for, and let me tell you--I am HYPED. Okay, so, what stands out the most: their cocktail menu. They have really unique cocktails, and I'm pretty hard to impress with creative cocktails after living in San Francisco. But Taco Bamba does it really well. In particular, the Aztec Blood Orange Moon Punch is tasty. It's sweet and fruity but definitely not obnoxious, and it's served with a giant ice sphere that's made of blood orange juice. If you chip away at it with a fork while you drink it, you'll end up with a slushie at the end. Another stand out was the seasonal Pumpkin Spice Latte frozen margarita. I'll admit, I'm not a fan of Starbucks' PSL, but adding alcohol makes it better. The food definitely followed through and was great as well. I loved their menu. They have an eclectic assortment of tacos, tortas, nachos, and sundries. We opted for the tacos and tried the following: - Wu's Garden: octopus, sesame, sweet chili sauce, and shishitos. Everything you want Asian flavor wise, but with bacon. Definitely delicious and sweet. -Bulgogi Bullfight: Mouth watering bulgogi in taco form. You don't need any more of an explanation. -Taco Bamba: Classic and simple but the skirt steak is melt in your mouth. -Banh Mijo: yep, Banh mi indeed. An enormous slab of sweet, juicy pork belly with carrots and cilantro. It was weird though that there wasn't any jalapeño. But the meat was so damn delicious that I didn't notice until just now. -El Gringo: Soooo salty. You can definitely taste the ranch, and you can also taste the taco. It's like a weird separation of half ranch, half taco flavor. But it was definitely tasty. It was full and very messy to eat, though. We also ordered the Aquaman nachos, which is shrimp and crab with a bunch of other typical nacho-y ingredients. We liked it a lot. I will warn you that most of the food here seems to be moderately spicy as a default, so keep that in mind if you're someone who doesn't like spicy food at all. If you're someone who likes A LOT of spice, don't worry, there's a salsa bar that you can try. Overall, 10/10 absolutely cannot wait for Taco Bamba University Mall to open up. read more

Order here quite often and its upseting to see how much they have changed. Recently they have skimped out on the meat for the tacos that were once full and worth the 4 dollars. Their elote (street corn) has always been a sad excuse for an "elote". Just go to mangolina for a real elote. Should have taken a picture before for evidence of my 5 pieces of meat for my taco starvation got the best of me read more

This place is good but I've had better specialty tacos, closer to home. Plus, I cannot stand the atmosphere of this place. There are more seats at the counter overlooking the kitchen and windows than there are on the main floor. The seats themselves are stools - no backs. There's like, no salt to be found anywhere in the restaurant so that was frustrating for me as a salt addict. I mean, if there was salt, I couldn't find it. Also, I don't think the corn tortillas are handmade. And, you can't sub out flour tortillas - if you want flour you're stuck ordering the fish taco and the fish taco only. I had the bulgogi bullfight, which, was admittedly a pretty damn good taco. And, I also had some fried shrimp one. I wasn't a huge big fan of the breading on the shrimp - it reminded me more of like, frozen seapack brand baby shrimp the way they were breaded. The one highlight is that they have Limon Jarritos - those are tough to find at authentic Mexican places (they always have every flavor but). And yes, I know it's not authentic Mexican.. It's still worth a try so you can form your own opinion, but for me, I don't think I'd drive out of my way to eat here again. read more

Stop the insanity! This is Vienna. A family town where Taco Bamba wants to make a living. There is nothing in this restaurant that is family orientated. From the minute you walk through their doors you cant hear each other. The music is deafening. They are going for this rock grunchy vibe that includes music so load you need hearing protection. Who in their right mind wants to take their family to a rock concert to eat greasy tacos? I know I know. The cult following of TB don't wanna hear this but it is true. From the minute you walk through the doors you can feel the tension building. One angry rock song after the other. 'Dip Shits' behind the counter screaming order numbers that nobody can hear AND then getting more angry if people don't walk up immediately. There is no way I will ever take my kids here and, therefore, what is the point of having this angry taco place in a family friendly town.....nothing! It is a brain dead concept fueled by outsiders with unsophisticated pallets. Yes, read that again! So if you want cheap fatty tacos in a disco this is the place for you. If, however, you want a friendly taco where you can actually have a conversation think about it again. This place is so entrenched in it behavior and this Yelp post wont change a thing. Many Yelpers pointed out the very same problem YET Tom and Victor plows on while flipping the middle finger at us all. I have spoken to many Vienna residents and nobody eats here anymore for all the reasons pointed out above. So....Taco Bamba, keep it up boys, but, know this, the people whose town you in will eventually decide your future, one way or the other. Rock on TB! read more

Love it for some good tacos. I wish they didn't change their ceviche. I liked the green one!

People in the DC area do not know good tacos. Taco Bamba is awful! The meat tasted burnt. $3 for one taco is outrageous too. I had a lengua quesadilla and a tripe taco. Not impressed at all. Also, the salsa bar is mediocre. Don't waste your time here. read more

I love all the tacos from Taco Bamba. I love the generous portion of Taco Bamba. The size of one taco from Taco Bamba is like two tacos from Bar Taco. I usually get carne asada, Beso, Bamba, and Tripa. They are all delicious. But this location's carne asada was a bit dry. Also I ordered ariba, it was a bit too salty. I guess the saltiness and flavor of this location change often. read more

First time trying this place since it's near my work. Got the tacos to go. The salsa bar had many different options of salsas to try: I ended up getting the salsa verde which was very tasty. Overall the tacos were good, I just wish that they had a lot more toppings on them for the price the tacos also range from 3$ and up! read more

Taco Bamba Vienna - Mexican Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

Great tasting food and super affordable!! This taqueria offers up fresh, authentic Mexican food ranging from tacos, quesadillas, enchiladas, nachos & more. The array of meats include: barbacoa [braised pulled beef], barria [spicy goat], lengua [beef tongue], carne asada [grilled steak], chicken, shrimp, fish, and some vegetarian options. I really enjoyed the taste of my arabe taco, it was very different and reminded me of shawarma. We also tried barbacoa taco (tasted good but a bit dry), crispy shrimp taco, san diahhhgo taco, and carne asada quesadillas and we enjoyed all of them. Delicious food, friendly staff, and very reasonable prices, If you haven't checked out Taco Bamba Taqueria, what on earth are you waiting for???? read more

Don't recommend going for torta bamba because they are wayyy too big and too hard to eat. The beef are really good though. I would go for the smaller portion.

Taco Bamba Vienna - Torta Bamba It's way too big and too messy when u start eating it - Mexican Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

This place is pretty tried and true. They serve good tacos at a decent price and the service is normal compared to any good restaurant.

This place is so amazing - I can't deal. My boyfriend has been talking about this place forever. We finally made the drive (wish there was one closer to us) and it was well worth it. We sat at the bar and ordered margaritas which were really good and not a bad price. Started with the chips and guacamole - which was delicious - although I have never met an avocado I didn't like! I had the regular steak taco and the chorizo. They were both so flavorful and packed full of meat. I normally don't like soft Tortilla tacos but these were absolutely amazing. Messy - grab lots of napkins - but soooooo good. The menu is so unique with so many different varieties of meat/veggie combos. I can't wait to go back. read more

Ok. I feel like giving this place a ZERO. The food is awesome. Absolute favorite taco place. Great draft and 2 taco deal. So why do I want to give them ZERO STARS. Out of the last 4 times here. They have overcharged me THREE TIMES. al least 2 of them they charged me for tacos I didn't Order. Another time they didn't give me the happy hour prices. This place is always busy. Most of the people working there have been for a while. So this type of mistake should not happen to someone this often. I was going to drop to 3 stars. But thinking about it while writing this I dropped another star. Oh and when they have to get a supervisor to correct the bill. He always looks pissed and never once have I been apologized to. Maybe I should drop it to 1 star... read more

The chicken taco and nachos. Both were delicious, highly recommend. We went post COVID and they still had a big traffic, but curbside was super easy. We put the order in over the phone and it took 40 minutes for it to be ready which seemed a little too much. The quality of food is good, the price is super reasonable, service is okay. read more

bomb and very filling tacos! the ingredients taste fresh and obviously, made to order! my favorites from the bunch that my sisters and I ordered were they birria, al pastor, and tinga. if you like to chew, then the "taco bamba" one is good as well. they have the "do it dirty" option which is a nice addition to the taco if you want additional toppings. I also got elote on the side which I probably wouldn't get again. Would def come back for more tacos! read more

Taco bamba continues to deliver excellent tacos. Ordered carry out of chips and queso, chicken tinga, taco bamba (of course), bulgogi, al pastor, a pita one and a wine. Someone had nabbed my order by the time I arrived but the staff made me a fresh order and gave me an extra small wine (it's a glass worth) to compensate. That gesture was above and beyond to me and the food quality was everything I've come to expect from taco bamba. This was my first bulgogi from here (each location has their own specialty tacos) and it was GOOD. I would considering ordering from this specific place again so I can get that taco! read more

If I could give 10 stars, I would!! The corn was amazing and the tacos were out of bounds!! I tried the tongue tacos and they were delicious!! Everything was flavorful and high quality!!

I've been here a few times now and, surprisingly, what I found i like the most here are the nachos, not the tacos! Don't get me wrong, I love the variety they have for the taco options, and my favorite is probably the "black sheep" (goat meat x squid ink? but tasty). However, the Aquaman nachos are damn good. Try them!! I'm glad Taco Bamba has so many quirky options for tacos because I personally find it hard to justify paying 3 or 4 dollars for a single taco. The only thing I haven't liked here is the swordfish, but that could be question of personal taste. Gets 4 stars rather than 5 because it's really noisy. It's either really crowded, music is loud, or both. read more

I had to get my taco fix in so decided to try Taco Bamba for the first time. They have a great selection of food and a fun little bar inside. I ordered the octopus, banh mi, lengua, and taco bamba tacos with an order of crazy corn. The ingredients were fresh and delicious. Everything was tender and full of flavor. The only issue was that it was way too salty to the point where it was difficult to eat. If they lighten a bit or actually quite a bit on the salt it would be just right! I've had my share of tacos around this area, and taco bamba definitely is a contender. But, at this time I'm not sure if I'd go back due to how salty all the food was. read more

Taco Bamba Vienna - Mexican Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

As someone who really doesn't care much for tacos, I have to say I was very impressed with this place. The food is affordable and extremely delicious! And if you're a fan of spicy, they have a lot of hot sauce options available for you to try out. FOOD: I have thoroughly enjoyed each taco I've ordered from here. So far, I've ordered the Crispy Shrimp, the Taco Bamba, the Arabe, and the Barbacoa; a set with a very diverse flavor profile that did not disappoint. Tacos are only $4 so ordering multiple is very common and affordable. I can't wait to try all of the other options on the menu. Make sure you ask for a cup for water! You'll need it. SERVICE: Service is very speedy. The longest I've had to wait for my tacos is probably 10 minutes. ATMOSPHERE: The restaurant itself is very low on space, so make sure you can nab a seat or two before you order. The place itself has a very modern, industrial vibe - quite common with many other up-and-coming restaurant chains. read more
