    can I see a manager & el rico pollo
    Joy S.

    Parking: tons of parking! It is located in Fair Lakes Promenade, so it's a shopping strip area. Don't worry about parking! It may be hard to park when first watch is open too, because parking may get filled quickly on the side lot. Seating: there is some seating! Maybe around 10 tables and the bar seating area. Food: the two tacos I got were pretty good! The size is about 6 inch tacos. It is a chain restaurant, but there are some tacos other places do not have. I recommend trying those! :) Bathroom: there is a restroom in the back! Price: it can get pricey, depending on how many tacos you order. I think 2-3 tacos are enough for me! Service: you order at the cashier and they call your number to pick up your order. My cashier was friendly and nice. She was helpful in giving me ideas on what to order.

    Modern bar interior

    This spot is inside the shopping center with Nordstrom rack and the old navy. It's tucked in the corner behind first watch so I never noticed it was there. There's plenty of parking. The interior was actually so hip and not what I expected for the area. I liked it. There's a large bar that serves at lunch as well. You order at the register in the back. The prices are comparable, and pretty good. most tacos are $4, but I def recommend their $5 carne asada. It was the best one. They also have sauces white and green aren't spicy and the red one was a bit spicy could have more of a kick. The tacos were filling. I only needed about 2, but my husband needed about 3 but ofc finished what I couldn't haha. It's a clean space with a lot of seating inside and outside. I'd come again!

    Menu.

    I enjoyed trying Taco Bamba. They have quite a varied menu, including quesadillas and breakfast selections served all day. On this visit, I ordered a Chorizo Taco and a Barbacoa Taco. They come in a soft shell but ard meant to be eaten as handhelds. Four different salsas of varying spices on the salsa bar. The filling is onion and cilantro. Different, but I liked it. I also ordered a side of salsa and chips. Only corn chips arrived. I suppose you use one of the four salsas. Taco Bamba has Coca-Cola fountain products. including Coke Zero, a plus for me. I do want to return to try other menu items. Recommended.

    Posole Rojo and Horchata
    Staci S.

    I finally decided to give this place a try. It's located at the end of a the strip center, which has plenty of parking, by Nothing Bundt Cakes. Using Door Dash, I ordered the Horchata, Al Pastor taco, the dirty version of the Taco Bamba taco, and the Possole Rojo for pick up. My order was prepared super quick. They packaged my order well and you can ask for utensils and sauces before you leave. I've never had Possile Rojo before, but I wished it had more seasoning. Overall, everything tasted okay. I wouldn't be opposed to going back, but this wouldn't be my first taco choice.

    Bamba Wings, Corn in a Cup,  Cup O' Bamba

    I've tried 4 different Taco Bamba locations and I love that they are all the same great flavors and quality. I especially love the Fairfax location for their larger bar area and outside seating area. Bartenders are always nice and attentive. And the cashiers and food runners have always been nice as well. We recently tried the Bamba Wings, and really loved the flavors! Will definitely order again.

    Taco Bamba is always great and I've been more than a half dozen times to the Fair Lakes location since it opened last year. It was crowded on a Sunday around 12:30pm. I ordered to go, but a table opened up during the approximately 15 minute wait. I had the Posole Rojo, a namesake Taco Bamba, and a Moby's Hog. I tend to prefer green chile posole, but this one is good! It's mildly spicy and includes onions, cilantro, big puffy hominy, chunks of pork, and a side of seasoned chicharrones. This is always a comfort to eat and I like dunking the pork skins into the broth. Moby's Hog is made of gyro spiced pork, garlic yogurt, pico de gallo, feta, pickled onion, mint, dill, and pepperoncini on a single flour tortilla. This one was packed and very tasty. If you like the classic taste of a gyro, including the creaminess of the feta, you'll get that, along with a fresh zing of whichever salsa you add from the salsa bar. I would get this one again. The Taco Bamba is skirt steak, chorizo, grilled guacamole, cotija, pickled onion, pickled fresno chile, cilantro, and chicharron. This one was alright. The large chunks of meat were a little tough. It has a classic carne asada flavor topped with some brightness from the pickled onions and chiles. But the rest of it - chorizo, guacamole, chicharron - kind of got lost in the mix. I'll probably look at other choices the next time I'm here. The bar always seems to be active here - lots of patrons having a lunchtime cocktail. The music is loud and lively, but you can still have a conversation with your table mates.

    Tinga Taco  Pollo al Carbon
    Lydia O.

    I'll be honest, I came in very hesitant because I had tacos 3 days prior, and they were probably the worst I've ever had. But Taco Bamba was recommended by my brother and sister, and if anyone knows good food it's them! And once again, they didn't disappoint! I ordered the chicken tinga taco and pollo al carbon dirty style. They were both so good in different ways. The tinga taco was very traditional and still had good flavor to it. The pollo al carbon was very flavorful and making dirty style was icing on the cake. It was so good I wanted to go back and order another. Something else we enjoyed was the sauce bar. I wish I remembered the name of the sauces because my favorite two, mixed together took the tacos to another level. If you want good tacos and service I would definitely recommend Taco Bamba.

    Pineapple margarita
    Shannon S.

    I visited this location for lunch. It was very busy. We sat at the bar, the waitress was very attentive and helpful. The food was good, we ordered some tacos and wings. The wings were a chili garlic and they had a nice flavor. The pineapple margarita was very good and the presentation was so cute lol. There is ample parking and ample seating in the restaurant.

    The Dilly Torta (this was DELICIOUS! And picture perfect.)
    Niveen M.

    Can't thank Christian and his crew enough for making it right and going above and beyond. They made sure we had a meal that matched the standards were used to tasting in the past! Everything was delicious tonight- and as always, the dine in vibes are so fun. My boys were happy dancing through all of dinner. Really glad we came back, this was total redemption. The Dilly- GET IT!

    Steak in place of chicken

    We ordered chicken quesadilla and they delivered steak quesadilla. How reckless is that!!!! Worst when your kids are waiting hungry!

    Margarita

    I've always noticed how busy this place is whenever I pass by, so I finally decided to check it out and I'm so glad I did! Everything was delicious! I tried a variety of tacos, nachos, and margaritas, and each dish was packed with flavor. The portions were generous, and all the ingredients tasted fresh. Definitely a solid spot for great tacos and drinks!

    I finally tried out Taco Bamba. The ambiance is lively, with music and a full-service bar. There are so many choices in tacos. The cashier was helpful. She explained to us the difference between Tacos Tradicionales and Tacos Nuestros. We tried the Bamba ceviche, el Shrimpo and Jeneral (Taco Nuestros) and camarón (Taco Tradicionales). We came at 2 pm and it wasn't busy. However, the food took over 20 minutes to prepare. The ceviche came in a small cup, it was full of squids and shrimps, which was yummy. The El Shrimpo was amazing. My niece liked her tuna and shrimp tacos. Overall, we enjoyed our late lunch and will definitely come back again to try other tacos.

    Food: Tried the shrimp cocktail (shrimp, avocado, tomato,…read morechili, and onion), birria sope, beef gordita, and birria tacos. Everything was flavorful and fresh. My favorites were definitely the birria tacos and the sope. Price: 3 birria tacos for $12 -- pretty fair pricing for the portion and quality. Atmosphere: Very packed, which is usually a good sign, but still nice and organized. Plenty of seating and the restaurant was decorated really well. Family-friendly atmosphere too. Service: Customer service was great and everyone was friendly and helpful. Overall: Good food, fair prices, lots of options, and a nice environment. Definitely would come back!

We drove out of our way to try this place and honestly it was a bit confusing to figure out where to order. There are two lines and it's not very clear which one we are supposed to get in for what. Especially because some of the items are duplicate on both menus. I noticed there was barely anyone in the "restaurant" line. Anyway, we sort of got a little bit of everything and wasn't completely brown away. I liked that they let you add your own toppings, and all of the sauces that have available were great. But the taco meats all sort of lacked a bit of flavor. Carnitas are my favorite but these were a bit inconsistent. Some pieces were very nice and juicy where others were hard to chew. I will say the place is very clean and spacious. They're pretty quick with your order as well. The food was lacking flavor for me personally. Overall, I don't think I would go back.

    La Jarochita Restaurant - They have an entire concha wall which is always an indication of good things to come. I had lunch here and their food was spot on.
