    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)!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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."

    The food is great. They're happy hours are the best they're serving. Staff is the best. Their manager is awesome. He's just the nicest most personable guy the bartenders very personable and it's almost like your hometown corner bar and everyone likes that so taco Bamba is the place to be if you gotta go go on taco Tuesday night or any night for happy hour and you won't be disappointed

    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.

    og breakfast taco - really good and filling.
    Jeff B.

    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.

    Had take out to celebrate a friend's birthday and it was delicious. I had a tinga taco and pollo al carbon taco and both were delicious. The meat was tender and flavorful. Really enjoyed these tacos and look forward to trying more in the future!

    Is delivery available in the Rockville area? their website doesn't allow me to place a delivery order within Rockville.

    I would not want delivery from this place as by the time you received your food it would be cold.

You order at a counter and are given a number to display at your table. Our food took only a few minutes to arrive. The server also brought over a box holding three salsas in squeeze bottles. The green salsa was pretty mild and the orange one was super hot. The dark one was, I think, chipotle. I didn't care for the chipotle. The tacos looked great and were each pretty packed with ingredients. Pollo tacos - I thought the chicken was a bit dry and, because of that, disappointing. Veggie - The veggie were filled with cooked onion, mushroom and peppers. Although they were well prepared and held a lot of veggies, there was no seasoning, so the taste was pretty flat/boring. I had to rely on adding guac and some salsa for flavor. I was hoping the veggie would have some flavor without having to rely on sauces. Al Pastor - was very good. Guacamole - comes "market price". The side we got was $3, which I think was a good value. The guac was flavorful and was a nice portion. I am glad I had it to supplement the disappointing Veggie taco and the dryness of the Pollo. The corn tortillas were good. The place is nice and comfortable.

Not fancy, but nice and comfortable tables with huge umbrellas to block the sun. The food here is good. In the past, we got the Platter for 2 ($27), which is a nice sized platter of wood fire grilled steak, chicken, sausage and shrimp with rice/beans/salad and tortillas. We couldn't finish it all and it was all delicious. No complimentary chips and salsa for the table, so tonight we ordered chips and guac to start. The guac was good with chunks of tomato, onion and avocado; it would have been nice to also get some salsa with it when you order the guac, but there's a separate charge for chips/salsa. For entrees, we got a Carne En Vara and Carne Asada. The En Vara is a skewer of chicken, beef, onion and green peppers, with rice/beans and a side order of arepitas (corn fritter). Everything was well prepared. I liked the arepitas. The Asada was a decent piece of beef that was well prepared. Came with rice and beans and flour tortillas. The service was very good. We were seated and received ice water promptly. The guac came out quickly as did the entrees, but not rushed. The server came by a couple of times to see how we were doing snd she refilled our waters. This is a "Latin" restaurant, and maybe I'm used to the ubiquitous Mexican restaurants that place salsa on the table, and I will say I missed it and didn't want to have to spend $3.95 for salsa. There were a couple of times when I would have liked to dip some of the meat into a sauce/salsa. They do put a bottle of Habanero hot sauce on the table when you sit down. The entrees tonight were good, but if you want to try the fire grilled meats, for value I recommend the Platter for 2.

To begin, I ordered the 8oz guacamole with freshly made crispy tortilla chips. For my main course, I sampled from the single taco selection: the Birria, Smash Burger, Chorizo, and Carnitas tacos. Each taco was a masterpiece, featuring a crispy tortilla that appeared to be dipped in a savory sauce. The portions offered a perfect balance, packed with compact flavors. I MUST highlight the Loaded Fries with Steak--they arrived perfectly crispy and were generously topped with steak and a delicious secret sauce. Of course, I had to try the Flamin' Hot Elote Loco in a cup. Unlike many places where the corn lacks freshness, Big Papi's elote was unmistakably fresh and utterly delicious. For dessert, the hot, crispy churros were the perfect sweet finale. A special thank you to Jorge and Edward for their exceptional service.

I'm suprised that Big Papi's isn't pushing this protein more because it's something the other taco places in the area are offering. While the flavor is great, the portion size isn't and for 15$ it makes it tough to recommend. I dont want to compare it to other taco places in the area but with so many around, I have to. Other places, its a bit of a challenge to finish 3 tacos with the toppings and at Big Papi's I finished the 3 and felt like I could still eat more. So while the portion size was good, it didn't beat out other places. Lastly there were two sauces included but I wasn't sure what they're base was an if they were vegan or not. Either an explanation or note what the sauces are would be helpful for those that order this option.

    I was introduced to Trippy Taco via a Yelp experience. Since I was happy with what I saw (or…read morerather, with what I ate), I've dropped by Trippy Tacos on a few occasions to satisfy taco cravings. Overall, I cannot complain about the food, quality, service and price. Tacos will typically run $3-$4, which is a bit standard for the area, and they are loaded with plenty of fixings. Also, Trippy has daily specials for certain items on the menu. For small place, the restaurant has a pretty extensive Tex-Mex menu, so I think everyone should find something that they'll like. Although the restaurant has some seating, this place is more of a take-out spot. One tip: I highly recommend ordering before arriving to Trippy Taco, so you can simply grab and go. Unfortunately, parking is a bit limited and tight (like most places in this area). While the food, service and prices are pretty good, I'll admit that I would not go too far out of my way to visit since there are no shortage of Tex-Mex spots in the area. But, it's a great spot to check out on your way from Point A to Point B. Usually, I visit on my way home from the gym (to undo the benefits of my workout).

As well as Tacos cost just about $3-4 each, it is a soft Taco with corn tortilla and flavorful seasoned filling, plus green salsa - that's perfect combination. I have not much to say about service, as it was a take out by online order but it was smoothly pick-up, everything was ready and packed nicely when I was arrived. The restaurant is quite tiny and old building at the back, but there are plenty free parking available around. Mainly for take out order but I think you can dine-in too - there are some seating table inside and outside. The Trippy Taco menu seem variety and interesting. They have not only Taco, but also a lot selection of Burrito, Soup, Quesadillas, Sandwich. Nacho and Fries. Yes, don't judge a book by its cover before you explore it.

Pictures are from when I got home with my food. Needless to say, for $32 or so (which includes a 20% tip), I had enough food for 3 meals. The Gorditas, while not necessarily healthy, definitely fill you up. The Tacos Dorados were very good for a late night, post drinking (water, of course!), dinner, and the chicken tacos were excellent for a next-day lunch.
