Tacos, Tamales and Tortas, Oh My!!…read more 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.

They got my order wrong because they literally couldn't hear me. It was so loud it was an occupational hazards for the workers. I love music and I liked the music they were playing but it was overwhelmingly loud, louder than any nightclub, concert. I play loud music and this was excessive. Diff not enjoy my food and rest of the day I had splitting headache. They do have outdoor seating, which I would have used but the weather was not permitting it. I don't expect to return.

I tried the pollo, carnitas, and al pastor. My favorite were the Al pastor - nice char and sweetness. The tacos came with fried green onions, fresh radishes, red and green sauce. What an amazing gem! I will for sure be back!

An establishment for a reason!…read more I will never turn down tacos and firmly believe that they're hard to get wrong. I came here on a Saturday afternoon with a friend, a little after peak lunch hours. The parking lot was full and the restaurant, bustling. From the outside, it doesn't look like much and upon walking inside, it transports you. I ordered 4 different tacos- chorizo, asada, lengua, and al pastor- and a tamarind agua fresca. My friend got the shrimp sopes. The food came out quick and super fresh! The plate came with two salsas and I got more at their salsa bar at the front. Honestly, wasn't crazy about any of them (I tried 6!), which was the biggest disappointment of tbe meal. The tacos were otherwise good and lots of flavor. I was so happy they included the roasted onions, too. There were other menu items that looked phenomenal but will definitely try whenever I came back!

Pretty good tacos. I would come back because the tacos carnitas were pretty alright. I wouldn't get…read morethe tacos pastor again. They weren't bad but maybe this spot does other meats better. Also had the shrimp tacos that were decent. I guess "decent" would be how I describe the food here on this trip... But something tells me to go back and get something different. The tamarind juice was good! I do appreciate how much meat they give you for the carnitas.... And prices were acceptable here.

Takeout review! I…read morewas craving some nachos and stumbled upon this place. Well, I'm so glad that I did because the food speaks for itself! El Bacho Nachos with grilled chicken. These nachos were DELICIOUS! The nachos cheese sauce took it over the top but the other toppings and the grilled chicken were all chefs kiss! It's the kind of nachos that you want to share but you're also enjoying too much to share. Al pastor taco with spiced pork and pineapple on a soft taco. This was FANTASTIC! The pineapple helped cool down the heat from the spiced pork but both flavors were perfectly paired together. Delicious! Overall both of my items were excellent. Not sure how it looks in person but the goal is now to visit and grab some more of their nachos and tacos. Packaged well for delivery with a few sauces on the side and a coupon for the next order. I'm a new fan! I love a good nachos and tacos so I was happy to stumble upon this.

I stopped by Taco Bamba for happy hour and ordered guacamole and a drink. The bartender was not friendly, and the guacamole was served in a to‑go cup with the chips in a brown bag, which felt odd since I expected it to be served on a plate. While I was still eating, the server brought over the card reader. I told him I felt rushed, and he responded by saying to just let him know when I was done. The whole interaction annoyed me, especially considering how many times I've been here and have never been treated that way. He didn't ask if I wanted another drink, but he was quick to hand me the card reader. The customer service from the bartender was disappointing.

I'd never have guessed 'spicy' (at a Mexican restaurant) is a $2 up-charge!! Only found out when I got the bill. And yes, I did mention it but nada. A heads up that asking for your Bloody Mary'spicy' will cost you $2 extra would've been nice. I also didn't appreciate the $14 guac that came w less than enough chips to finish the dip, but ordering "extra" chips are an extra cost. (free for the table with salsa at other Mexican restaurants). Anyways, I caveat this by saying photos online tell a different story, but it wasn't how ours came. My wife ordered 2 tacos for $14, no sides or anything else included, meh. If you end up going, their drinks are probably the best part of the place, but don't deviate without confirming you're not adding a hidden cost. Also, ration your chip/dip ratio, unless you're ok with spending more than $14 on a one avocado guacamole. Other than that the food was ok, our waitress was good (except for not telling me about a charge), but the nickel/dime policies aren't the best. It just left a bad taste.

I would describe them as a combination of classic and elevated Latin food. The vibe of the restaurant is very casual, but the presentation of many of the dishes takes it to another level. They also have a wide selection of beer and wine. I have had tacos, octopus, breakfast tacos, and tamales. Everything was flavorful and quite tasty. I will admit service was a little slow the last time I went, but given the weather and the fact that we weren't in a rush it wasn't a big deal. If you haven't been yet, you should go. The colorful presentation reminds me of Palette 22, and rumor has it they are expanding to the Ethiopian restaurant that closed next door. I hope that's true!

Could work on those fried plantains as they were a little soggy. The quinoa salad was good, a bigger portion would have been nice for the price paid and maybe if it would be easier to eat if served in a bowl. The chorizo sandwich was okay. Presentation and bread could be better. We left curious about their regular menu so we may give it a try some other time. Their staff were nice but not very knowledgeable about their menu items. They didn't really know how to answer my question about their vegan tres leches and told me it was not actually vegan after indicating it had condensed milk and heavy cream.
