OKay, we all know about the awesome tacos. Check. But have you tried their wings?!?!? They are fire. I ordered mine with the garlic butter and I can't stop thinking about them. Service is always great and the ambiance is tacoliciou. TRY THE WINGS!!! read more

After shopping at nearby Nordstrom Rack and knowing dinnertime was a ways off, I decided to check out Bamba for something to tide me over. Bamba is as much a bar as a taqueria, with a full alcohol selection and lively music. The bro at the counter who took my order was patient and friendly as I navigated the menu. Eventually, I opted for a chorizo taco and chicharrones (pork rinds). Wow, the lightly spicy chicharrones were super delicious, really the best I've ever eaten. Recommended! My chorizo taco was perfectly decent. Salsa selections are a bit limited. read more

This place is so good!! I can't believe I just tried it today. Taco Bamba is actually quite affordable and delicious. And they serve breakfast all day - an instant win in my book! I ordered the Tighty Whitey breakfast burrito and it was loaded with flavor for only $11! Very filling and delicious - plus it comes with a free coffee. I would recommend the tacos as dirty style so you get the sauce, cheese, and grilled onions. The meat options for the tacos are all the same price which is wild and awesome! Very friendly and helpful service. Not a lot of seating options indoors but there is plenty outdoors. They also have loads of free hot sauces to pick from. We ordered the churros for dessert and they were so soft and fresh like the old Costco churro!!! Give it a try! read more

I have tried a few other Taco Bamba locations and was excited to find that this Fairfax location offered three varieties of vegetarian tacos. I tried all three: Spicy Shroom - 4.5/5: Spicy with great texture from the mushrooms. Fairfax 4-Way - 3.5/5: The Brussels sprouts and granola had good flavor, but the taco felt a bit underwhelming overall. Mr. Chow - 2/5: A few cauliflower florets were too mushy, while others were undercooked. There was very little flavor. I had hoped it would taste like the Iron Mike taco that was discontinued at the Vienna location, but I was disappointed. The service was quick, and my takeaway order was ready in a short amount of time. Everything was packed well with a good amount of sauces. read more

Taco Bamba was a pleasant surprise. I love Mexican but it's typically all the same. When we walked in they had music blasting Wu Tang Clan. Then Beastie Boys. I was instantly excited! They had a nice assortment of cocktails and a great happy hour. We chose peach margaritas and they did not disappoint! Their tacos are very unique. They are twists on other dishes. I chose the, "Let me speak to the manager" taco which was a Gyro taco. I also chose the Hocc's Hog which was a pork taco. They were both incredibly delicious. All tacos are ala carte and they are a decent size. I couldn't finish both of mine. My bestie chose this odd tube like wrap that had a bunch of ingredients inside and was fried. That's the best I can describe it. I can't remember what else she got but she loved it. Apparently there is another, bigger location with an outdoor patio and a DJ. I would love to check that out next time I visit! read more

I went to pick up my online order at Taco Bamba today around 4 PM. I ordered 5 carne asada tacos, a carne asada quesadilla, and fries, but the staff told me they were out of carne asada. I got annoyed really fast and requested a refund. How can Taco Bamba even be open and not have their most popular meat? Since I was already there, I told the girl to just give me the fries so I wouldn't leave empty-handed, and I left with only fries. I'm never coming back, and I'll be waiting for my refund read more

It was quite busy on a Saturday 11:30/12- they have a small indoor dining area, so it's a bit cramped but the food is good. My friends got some specialty tacos and I got the Cup' O Bamba from their breakfast menu- which was good and filling. Their free coffee with breakfast is just from a self serve pump. Would return though, did feel slightly claustrophobic. read more

Our go to place for weekday lunch hour!! This place has been around for ages. I feel Like I grew up with it. Perfect bite every time, it's a must try for a quick but tasteful bite.

Was just there the place is PACKED! Fun vibes, good music, fast service and the food as always was amazing! Son is gluten free so he had a quesadilla on corn tortillas. I got carne asada taco. Yum! Special shout out to Daniel. Very nice and professional. Great service and wiping and bussing tables when people weren't ordering. read more

I was craving tacos because the week prior, I was having some of the best tacos in Las Vegas. To fix that, I stopped by Taco Bamba for some taco cravings. I decided to be adventurous and get a sampler of some of the tacos that interested me. I got the following: Al Pastor, Birria, Pollo Al Carbon, Carne Picada, and Carne Asada paired with a nice cold Corona beer. Honestly they were all good but my favorite would have to be the Carne Asada and the Al Pastor. There's nothing like simplicity with these two tacos. It wasn't too busy so I had enough time to sit down and enjoy my tacos. If it was a Friday night? Maybe it'd been a different experience. Luckily that wasn't the case. Since this location is close to where I work, I might have to come back for more. I like the other taco options they have and it brings more things to try out like their specialty tacos! If you are into tacos, check this place out. read more

I ordered shrimp nachos through DoorDash from here, and wow, were they delicious. I was staying in the area for the night I wanted something to nosh on before I went to a concert. They were really the best nachos I've had in awhile and I was happy that they didn't arrive soggy. They were perfect. I took off a star because they arrived COLD so I had to pop them in the microwave, and the serving was very small. I could've eaten 2 orders. read more

Excellent authentic food! We had the nachos with chorizo and chicken and a Cuban sandwich. Both were huge portions. Gave nice reusable to go bags with the meal. Lots of sauces to choose from by the carry out area. Price range for single tacos 3-5 bucks but they were stuffed with meat. Excellent. Too bad the other taco place was "closed" today with a sign on the door - it made this place make hand over foot in sales today and their food was much better. read more

We were opting for something quick for our first night's dinner in Fairfax and found this Taco Bamba location nearby. We opted for four tacos: Carne Asada, Tinga, Pescado & Chorizo. I found their Chorizo to be way too dry, and I had to seriously douse it with salsa to add some moisture to the taco. As for the Pescado, I found a hair on the side of my tortilla, which completely killed my appetite. There is limited indoor dining tables available, as well as some heated outdoor seating as well. Situated in a private strip mall, there is plenty of free parking available in the private lot. read more

I get takeout from this location every so often. The food is always good whatever I order. Yesterday I got a few usual items like the guacamole and Chitty Wok chicken and I also tried some new items such as the queso with chorizo, juju da burger and cookies and cream churros - all outstanding. And it was all packaged in a reusable bag. It was the first time that I used their Toast app and I had trouble with it using the guest option. I had tried to post a tip on it for the employees but by the time I was forced to create an account and tried to pay, the tip did not record.... So an extra thank you to the employees, I'll take care of you next time. I am still thinking about da burger...can't wait to get another. read more

Food is great, likely like any other taco bamba out there. I haven't been to any other but I'd assume they're all similar with the exception of some specialty tacos being different at each location. Personally I always get the chity wok chicken and cactus jack. My wife likes the robinson ramen too. Service there is great, they are pretty quick and tell you an estimate on how long it will take. My only negative about the place is how its all setup. Those ordering takeout stand by the door waiting and to order there you have to go deep into the restaurant. So during peak times, there be be a lot of traffic of people just standing around and you're not sure whos waiting for food vs waiting to order. read more

5/5. Was in the area, and decided to stop by hear for some tacos, and Taco Bamba is always a good choice. The Food: Went with my favorite taco, the Lengua Taco. The meat was quality and cooked perfectly. Paired with a nice double tortilla and some onions/cilantro. Can't get any better. The Service: Service was good. Ordering was fast, and orders went out within a timely manner as well. The Atmosphere: Small place, with little seating. But it is setup like almost any other Taco Bamba. Nice decor and huge menu on the wall for you to browse when waiting to order Overall, a 5/5 Solid taco place. getting kind of pricey, but the food is delicious as always. read more

First time at this location. The food didn't take long to come out, the service was nothing short of perfect and they had so many salsas and options of out sauces to put on your tacos. the inside is small but there are additional seats behind the cashier desk and there is also outdoor seating! I got full from two. same with my brother. they don't skimp on the meat! read more

Taco Bamba isn't bad at all flavor-wise, the tacos are actually pretty solid. But the stinginess is what kills the experience for me. Charging extra for the consommé sauce is already annoying, but then you pay for it and they hand you this tiny little cup that's not even close to 2 ounces. If you're gonna nickel-and-dime customers for sauce, at least give a decent amount. Feels cheap for a place that already isn't exactly inexpensive. Good tacos, but the portions/add-ons make it hard to justify coming back often. read more

Located in the University Mall shopping center, it was easy to find parking in the lot. It is a fairly small shop with limited seating inside and a few tables outside. They do have those outdoor heaters for the winter. Most tacos are priced around $4 these days but they are pretty generous in terms of the filling and they do double wrap the tacos. Last time I went they were also offering free coffee with any purchase, all day long. I like they have water stations inside and outside. I've tried: -taco bamba - ground beef in spicy seasoning - has some kick, plenty of flavor, ground beef was a bit dry though -carne asada - beef chunks with onion and cilantro - beef was pretty dry when I last had it, but good flavor -lengua - beef tongue with onion and cilantro - this was actually my favorite, it has a lot of natural rich beef flavor and it pairs well with the onion and cilantro The tacos have a lot of flavor, meats could be less dry. Corn tortillas are marginally better than store bought ones in terms of thickness and flavor. I think for people who can't stand cilantro, they should have a parsley option. They do have some vegetarian options though. They also have various other Mexican options besides tacos as well as alcoholic cocktails. Overall: A good taco joint for grab and go or with a small group. Most of the employees there were very friendly and helpful in getting us the right order. Do wish the place was a little better kept and that the menus could be seen closer to the cashier. The menus also are a little hard to read. Can feel claustrophobic at times. But prices are ok. read more

Good dudes, good tacos.... a solid mom and pawps atmosphere. Great place to decompress (*on quiet evening) watch the chef prep the meal then go to town and devour tasty chow.

I ordered from this taco place on DoorDash because I didn't want to go out late at night. I got two carne asada tacos and one birria taco.

Nice location. Definitely popular for good reason. The tacos here are quite creative. My personal favorite is the "Aribe." This taco with Middle East influences is delicious. They are a bit expensive, but quality over quantity here. They have a host of tacos, and also delicious margaritas. Please don't drink and drive. It is trendy and popular. You might find crowds here. That's just part of the equation, as a place many are fond of. The staff here are solid. Great customer service, and the folks working have wonderful recommendations. I like this as a date or hangout spot. Lines can be long, but the staff takes efficient care of all customers. If you're in the area, my recommendation is consider this. It's a viable fun place! read more

They are really nice!! They've messed up my order three times and I keep coming back. The food is just so good. Usually they'll give me the wrong protein choice, forget dressing, or forget a taco.

Food is incredible read more

We came to his place due to its proximity to George Mason University. On Fridays this place is generally packed but today it was not so packed so we decided to go in. We ordered the Bamba tacos with chorizo and ground beef and they were tasty, but very very oily, and the big daddy fish taco was also pretty decent although bland. The service was good and fast although the sitting arrangement is very tight. read more

My very first time I tried Taco Bamba was at the Falls Church location years ago, absolutely loved it and always saw it as a hidden gem. They've opened several locations since and I've noticed they just don't have that same quality. I got their tacos and they most definitely have potential to be great with where they are going with flavors. Unfortunately, overly dry, some meat where just not tender, and worst of all, for a place that specialize in tacos, their corn tortilla was the dryest I have ever had. Extremely hard to eat. read more

I order takeout from here semi-regularly, and it always turns out really good! This is definitely my go to place for tacos in the northern Virginia area. The only other place I might recommend over it is bartaco, but the tacos at Taco Bamba are much more affordable and are a bigger portion size. I typically order the Chity Wok Chicken taco, which has fried sesame chicken in it with candied peppers and rice. It is absolutely delicious, and one of the most creative tacos I've ever eaten. I've also had the Al Pastor taco, the Arabe, the Carnitas taco, and the granddaddy fish OG, and they are also very good, but I would say my favorite is definitely the Chity Wok Chicken taco. For sides, I usually get the grilled Mexican street corn, and it is very flavorful and consistently good. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place if you are looking for tacos that are relatively inexpensive for their portion size, and are tasty as well. I would definitely say they're a good deal. read more

Juju Da Burger Think cheeseburger as a taco. I was pleasantly surprised at the flavor and how tasty this was. They over cooked the hamburger meat so it was way past well done, and a bit dry. Good flavor, I would get this again. Carnitas - dirty style Very good carnitas. This taco fiery style was my favorite out of the ones that I got. Moist pork, complimentary flavors and that soft flour tortilla was the best. Chorizo This is the driest taco of them all. They cooked the chorizo so overdone that it could've been dust. Even salsa would not give it enough moisture to fix it. The tortilla was also very dry and almost cooked to a fried chip state. Cactus Jack The shrimp were overcooked. I'm a hometown seafood girl so I'm really picky on what I consider perfectly cooked shrimp. The topping overpowered the taco and the ratio of toppings to shrimp was way off. Hard pass on this one. Mexican Grilled Corn on the cob This was excellent! Perfect ratio of toppings on the street corn. I loved that it wasn't burnt as most places tend to do. Well done! Rice & Beans I had the black beans, tasty. I could've done without the rice that contained a crap ton of vegetables. Location Small spot, with limited seats so be patient or take it to go. Overall a good taco spot. read more

Had a very good first time experience at Taco Bamba! We came on a Tuesday peak dinner and was able to grab a table and our food order in 10 minutes or less.
