So after I posted again, the manager got and back to me with a very good explanation of why he missed my email and had been unresponsive for that I completely understand. I will definitely try taco Bamba again. I will do it this time when it's nice weather so if the music is way too loud, I will dine outside at their tables. However, I do hope they just turned down the volume just a little pinch. I mean, I get loud music I actually like music I like loud music that was just really excessive so hopefully they just turn it down a little bit and I will post a new review next time I visit which hopefully will be soon Well I called the manager as he requested and he never followed through. So his offer was fake. read more

Tacos, Tamales and Tortas, Oh My!! Not a traditional Tex Mex taco place, they offer traditional tacos but also some fusion tacos as well. I love how they incorporate local flavors, and how they frequently update their menus. This past holiday season, I had the pleasure of enjoying their limited selection and special of tamales, they offer ones with pork, red sauce, green sauces and vegetarian. All kinds offered were absolutely amazing and delicious. Services is always fast, efficient and friendly. They play music at their locations and everything is always clean. I am a personal fan of their juices and cocktails. You'll love them if you love tacos, traditional and new fusion flavors. Check them out. read more

Met some friends here for lunch and beat the crowd. Ordered 3 tacos: taco bamba, al pastor, and black pearl. I probably could have eaten one more taco, but I needed to be functional the rest of the day. All 3 tacos were great, but the fish taco was the best by far. A huge piece of fried fish and avocado slice was a lot more flavorful than I thought it would be. They have so many things on the menu I want to try like the tortas or smashburger. Will return soon read more

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! read more

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 read more

Everyone in here working was so insanely kind it made my day. Quick and excellent food and service.

Great Taco Bamba location. Wife and friend picked up. They have a cocktail area you can get stuff to go and tacos.

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)! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Another great evening at Taco Bamba's Happy Hour...it was their Bar Crawl night where with the specialty drink, The Paloma, you get a free specialty glass. Isiah is a great bartender! He really takes care of Us...and it's nice that Zach, the manager remembers Us. He really works hard, front and back of the house to make Taco Bamba a success. We look forward to next week with the Bomba Colada. See you there...it's lots of fun. And the food is amazing too...Cheers! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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." read more

When they first opened my teen could not get enough of their tacos but today she mentioned its not as juicy as it was before. I found the meat to be a bit tough and chewy too. Otherwise not bad spot and one is very filling. I think I prefer the outdoor seating as I'm not a big bar person and their bar is the first thing you see as you come in. Staff were friendly and inside it is a little loud but it worked out. read more

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. read more

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. read more

If you're craving elevated, flavorful, and unique food, Taco Bamba is the spot to hit. The Migas Taco is a hearty breakfast favorite, especially when topped with queso for a rich, satisfying finish. For a lighter option, the Cup O'Bamba delivers protein without the carbs. Spice lovers should brace themselves for the Jamaican Beef Patty--crispy, juicy, and boldly spiced. And the Black Pearl Taco, with perfectly fried fish and crunchy slaw, is a standout that's both fresh and delicious. read more

I always see my co-worker ordering food from here so I figure let's give them a try. The staff were very nice. I asked since questions about done of their specials.

Well be brining some friends with me my next visit. read more

The empanada and Turkish wrestler was very tasty! I loved all of the hot sauces they had for me to try it with each item. We ordered at the front and the food came out pretty quickly. There was plenty of space for us to seat. A huge parking lot (free) right in front of the restaurant. Both really great vegetarian options and I'm excited to go back to have it again! read more

Taco Bamba - Cheese empanada, turkish wrestler - Tacos Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

I haven't been all over the country but quite a bit and I've had many many tacos. I find tacos to be quite tasty. I went here (Rockville) because I'm in town and had the best tacos I've ever had in my life. Most places you go hold back on flavor because they want to appease the general public allowing them to add flavor (salt, pepper, lime, etc.) if you need it. This place was a power packed punch of flavor to my senses with layers of flavor from lime to chorizo to cilantro. It was a great blend of spices in seasoning a bit of heat but not too much. Enough to make me sniffle and tingle the lips. Great Place all over the DMV. I highly recommend. read more

Taco Bamba was an unexpected delight. We walked in a little skeptical -- the first thing that caught our eye was a painting of a rooster with a bare, featherless neck. For a moment, it felt more horror film than happy hour. But any unease vanished as soon as the food hit the table. We ordered Mexican Street Corn, The Best Life Torta, Taco Barbacoa, and Cerviche. To be honest we were bid confused by the menu and thinking that we ordered "The Best Life Torta" as a bowl so when Jeff the manager realized that without any hesitation he offered us both a complimentary "Pack the Bowl" with free choice of protein. The tortas turned out to be amazing, loved that there is alfalfa in the torta which soaked up the distinctive sauce nicely. In addition to Jeff's hospitality it just put it over the top. By the time we left, that featherless rooster didn't seem strange anymore -- it felt like part of Taco Bamba's wild charm. Great food, great people, and a reminder that the best meals often start with a little surprise. read more

Food: 4.5/5 I ran into Taco Bamba after visiting another store in the shopping center. I was randomly craving nachos so I decided to give the El Bacho Nachos a try. I got the nachos with chicken as the protein. The nachos were delicious! Service: 5/5 I chose to get my cheese at the side because I prefer to dip my chips and the staff was able to accommodate my request. The staff was helpful with explaining the menu options as well. I'll definitely go back again to try their tacos! read more

Taco Bamba is the BOMB!! Came here for happy hour on Tuesday at the recommendation of a friend and it was fantastic. I got the chicken quesadilla for my 7 yo, I got the Jeffery, my friend got two tacos, and we got the el bacho nachos to share. We were stuffed. The Jeffery is so unique and delicious, I was sweating eating it, but couldn't put it down! It's huge too! I'd love to come back for drinks. Seating is very casual and they also have free coffee all day. They had the Olympics on when we came. Prices are fantastic and I could not believe the Jeffery was only $5 during happy hour and tacos are $5 each at all times. I'm already planning my next visit. read more

I came to Taco Bamba on a Sunday afternoon. It wasn't packed and plenty of seating was available. It is fast casual here, you order and seat yourself wherever you please. This location is in Congressional Plaza, parking lot can get chaotic on the weekends since so many retailers share it so keep that in mind if you plan on coming on the weekend. My husband and I weren't super hungry so we ordered a few items to share and have our son try. - Bamba Fries - This comes with Carne Asada, Chorizo, Queso, Pico de Gallo, Serrano Chiles, Crema, Cotija and Grilled Guacamole. You definitely need a fork when eating this, all of the toppings are dumped on top of the fries and it is hard to scoop them up without using a fork. I enjoyed these and it wasn't overwhelmingly spicy as long as you don't take a bite of the peppers. If you like spice then eat the peppers for a strong spicy kick. - Carne Asada Taco - This comes with Seared Beef, Onions and Cilantro. This wasn't my favorite, the beef was tough to chew. - Al Pastor Taco - This comes with Spiced Pork, Pineapple, Onions and Cilantro. The meat was very flavorful. I am not a huge fan of pineapples in my taco, but I still enjoyed this and would order again. Overall, this is a decent taco spot with a variety of options on its menu. Staff were polite and food came out quickly. I would definitely come back here again :) read more

Taco Bamba may have good tacos, but my go-to here is the torta tradicional with carne asada.

I placed a request for a catering quote from Taco Bamba via their website. Without minutes, I received an email back with my quote and link to pay. Ordering was seamless and payment was required 48 hours prior to pick-up. The restaurant itself has both inside and outside seating. There are booths and high tops, also some seating around the bar. They offer free coffee and a fresh salsa bar with tons of options. The service was fast and friendly and I was in and out in less than 15 minutes. As promised, my order was ready at noon, double bagged and ready to go. While picking up my order, I ordered food for my husband and I. I had the huevos rancheros, while my husband had the shrimp, carne asada and carnitas tacos. The food was very tasty, cooked perfectly and seasoned just right. For my catering order, I had the Bamba Bar with shrimp, chicken, beef and pork. The portions were advertised to feed 20 people. Not only did it feed my 16 guests, we had plenty of leftovers for the next day. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the tacos, they were super tasty and very filling. I cannot wait to got back and patronize the restaurant again! read more
