Taco Bamba

i had a great time at taco bamba! i was there for a drinking competition so there were drink specials! i got the hibiscus margarita && it was so good! i didnt try any food but from what i saw people indulging in looked finger lickin good because i for sie saw a few fingers being licked bathrooms are clean. the restaurant is pretty large && they have a large outdoor patio which was nice. everyone was friendly! go say hi to my homie matt behind the bar!

Satisfied. They are a solid delivery option, and the food delivers. They have standard Mexican fare plus inventive tacos, too. Maybe not the most authentic if that's what you want, but the food is good.The noodler is my fave - a crispy catfish taco with a dill crema. Really good. My number is the that thing, a chicken chorizo taco, and the shell is lined with a green chile relleno. Very interesting flavors and packed with the goods. I have also enjoyed the bobby leo (crispy chicken and kimchi), aliens have landed (brisket with green saucer sauce, whatever means), and my wife's fave is the chicken caesar chavez.They elevate things with the lalo's fried rice, which has lobster, egg, bacon, and some other goodness. Real good.

After a long shopping trip to Wegman's, my sister and I were drawn into this beautiful restaurant not only because of its architecture, but because we love us some tacos! We walked in and immediately noted the free daily coffee they provide to their customers. They also have a wide assortment of tacos for breakfast AND lunch. We decided to indulge in the Migas taco and the Al pastor (the best of both worlds). The Migas taco was an 11/10 with the salsa they provide as the taco melted in our mouths. The eggs were light, fluffy, and had the perfect amount of cheese mixed in. The crunchy bacon added texture and the crema sauce added a boost of flavor. The Al pastor taco was okay, at a 7/10 mainly because It was a bit dry, but still had lots of flavor. The coffee was also very good, and was provided with milk and sugars so you can make it the way you'd like.

Finally went to try this still relatively new Taco Bamba in the newly developed City Ridge area in Tenleytown. It's got a nice location on that very spacious and landscaped block. Lots of seating inside and out - now the weather is cooler the outdoors patio with gigantic umbrellas is a very pleasant spot to have a drink or quick bite. It's fast casual style so you order at the counter, get a number and food will be brought to you when ready. The menu is quite extensive with many taco and non taco options. We had the fish, shrimp and beef traditional tacos on double corn tortillas as well as the Jeneral which is on a piece of cabbage instead of taco shell. Nice flavors - the Baja shrimp a bit overcooked and tougher than expected but is the most spicy and flavorful. Great to have another reasonably priced taco place in the neighborhood. Will be back again soon for sure.

We came in around 1:30 for lunch. It wasn't too crowded and we ordered and paid at the counter. They were fine with changing some of our order - tortillas instead of cabbage cups for the Jeneral Tacos.We got some salsa from the salsa bar! I think there were 4 options - we got 3, all but the very spicy one. There were all good!I had the shrimp taco and that was so yummy! Seasoned so well with tangy slaw and crema. I had a bite of the Jeneral and Bamba and both were also delicious!The nachos was great too!Will come back when I'm in the area.

This place came highly recommended by one of my surgeons..who started to discuss with me how much he loves this place, while at work. The entire operating room was drooling with hunger...and agreed to go to taco bamba one day for happy hour.And I will say: the recommendation was spot on, and possibly surpassed it. This place was surprisingly good..like really good. Everything was bursting with flavor and served hot and fresh.The birria tacos are a slow roasted braised lamb..and was delectable!! Also, I elected to get it "dirty style": flour tortilla, cheese, grilled onion, and sweet chili sauce. The carne asada was tender and the shrimp were a great size and was accompanied by excellent toppings.And the cactus bambina empanada was so tasty..it's filled with mixed fajita style meats...and comes with a great green chile sauce. Unfortunately, this empanada is kinda expensive for just one morsel..but I low key love it..so it what it is! FYI: every locations' menu varies..so just a heads up!overall, highly recommend

Watermelon agua fresca was amazing. The cashier said she just made it and I can tell it was 10/10. The food was descent could use some more seasoning or sauce but the fish taco was great. I got it baked was nice and different. The place was clean and cute. Would definitely return and try more food.

I came here for a salsa and bachata dancing lesson they had for September and October. I got the pack the bowl, which was great and felt healthy also. My friend and I also shared the churros, which were great. Service was great. They delivered the food to us outside. The ambiance is great. This is a bigger location than their other ones, making it great for dance lessons. I definitely suggest this fun staple in dc!

I don't exactly like the location of this Taco Bamba because Wisconsin Ave is always a wild ride, but I love the inside of this location because it's so spacious and the bar is huge. Plenty of room to meet with your friends or chill at the bar. Very clean and lots of natural lighting. I stopped by today and sat at the bar with my husband. The bartenders were so friendly and nice. Greeted us with smiles and were very attentive. We talked and laughed with them and it was just a nice vibe. Our food came out quick, and our drinks were great! The bartender was very knowledgeable of the menu and I loved that because even though I've had taco Bamba tons of times it's still nice to be able to ask questions about dishes and be given an honest answer. I got the Barbacoa Tacos (my favorite taco on the menu) and rice and ate every morsel it was so good. My husband got the cup of bamba (comes with a little bit of everything) and he was highly pleased as well. My daughter scarfed down the chicken tacos and none of us had complaints. You can park on the street or park in the garage for a fee. Pay attention to the signs if you choose street parking because the meter maids love giving tickets in this area.

Its namesake, the taco Bamba is a confusing mixture of flavors that rendered it inedible. I had to dock a star for that. Other tacos were pretty good (chicken, barbacoa, steak). Pretty restaurant with nice branding. Salsas were good, too, and tasted fresh. They also have an impressive-looking bar.
