I chose to spice things up for lunch today at my local Taco Bamba Taqueria. We ordered a variety of tacos, and for myself, I got a ‘Can I See A Manager’, the ‘El Gringo’, and with a side of ‘The Other Fries’ containing nacho cheese, pico de gallo, jalapeno, and salsa valentina. Our food was delicious
…but there was a long black hair that was found in the fries, that is a no-no.

Today we went back to eat at Taco Bamba and tried the new item, the Bamba Double Smashburger. It was okay for me—I think I’ll stick to ordering tacos at a taco place.
The churros weren’t the same as last time; they had less cinnamon sugar on them. My daughter went back to ask for more, and she was only given a pinch. I went back myself and the same thing happened, which really surprised me. Is it expensive to give customers a little extra cinnamon sugar, or did the lady at the counter just not want to? I don’t know, but I was disappointed.
We didn’t get the same experience as our first visit, when we were excited to try it again. Try at your own risk—you might not get the same experience every time.

Had no idea what Taco Bamba was when we saw it driving by but decided it looked good for lunch, and it was a great choice. The menu is expansive, with all sorts of tacos from classic Mexican street tacos to fancier American style, breakfast all day, lots of drinks from the bar, and more. The queso and chips were good, and I enjoyed my carnitas salad bowl, it was very filling with quinoa and greens and more.

Outstanding as always! We’ve been going to taco bamba for years now ever since discovering their original location in Falls Church. As expected this location was great. Even with a line to the door on a Friday at 6pm they still delivered great food and excellent service. The big bar is great too because you can grab a drink while you wait in line.
Cashier was super nice and the food was just as good as any of the other locations. We’ll definitely be back.

Even tho they are Mexican fast food chain, they make tacos tastes like tacos. They are making fresh juices which has natural ingredients. I liked this place and recommend Taco Bamba for Taco and cocktail lovers.

I usually go to the vienna location and never had any problems but this time my family and my self went to the fair lakes place, we were hungry so we order some tortabambas 4 total. every single one had the breaded chicken the one they put in the sandwich, so dry, burned and over cooked, with a lots of small pieces of meat hard like a rock it looked like leftovers from the flat grill. I was so disappointed. someone has to do better job controlling the Quality of food that comes out if the kitchen. or maybe cooks needs better training.

At this location, I had the pleasure of savoring a torta bamba richly filled with meats, pickles, avocado, tomatoes, and pineapple. The generous portion size made it ideal for sharing between two individuals. The atmosphere exuded vibrancy and liveliness, with other patrons adding to the energetic ambiance, complemented by lively Latin music in the background. The interior design was captivating, featuring a blend of red, black, and white tones that left a memorable first impression. However, there was a noticeable delay in food preparation after placing the order, suggesting that there may be an opportunity for improvement in this aspect.

This is one of the newer locations and is as dope as the others. Taco Baba hits it out of the park with just about everything on the menu! Drinks are fun and STONG ! Daniel was our bartender and did a great job navigating us through the menu as I was with a first timer to the restaurant. We enjoyed several menu items and drinks. Always a great time and of course I’ll be back !!

The bar seating is so nice because the tables are limited but I’ve not had a problem getting a bar seat. The service at the bar has been fantastic. Someone is always checking on me. The customer service is really good here.
The tacos are phenomenal! The Rico Pollo taco is the best. I can’t recommend that one enough. The taco flavors are unique and they’re portioned well. I never leave hungry! The drinks are flavorful and also super cute. There was obviously a lot of time spent on the ambience of this location as all the decorations are fantastic. My only gripe is that the guac and chips aren’t fresh, which I guess should be common sense, but yea the guac is definitely more of a take out versus eat in food choice.

Worst place ever. I suffered discrimination here.
I was picking up a DoorDash order when one of the workers (it was a Latina) accused me of stealing.
I used to bring my family here for dinner.
Never again.
