Good for what it is. Food was solid felt like a chipotle or Moe’s inside and I wasn’t a huge fan of the salsa. But that’s just me. My tacos were very good.

Not the worst, but unfortunately very overhyped. Paid $60 with tip for tacos that we couldn’t eat because tortillas had hardened, the carnitas had no flavor :( the chorizo was basically ground beef, and when you ask for lime they give you a tiny plastic cup with one small slice (unnecessary plastic waste) I really wanted to love it but probably won’t be back. The chilaquiles were decent! Good horchata.

The Bamba fries are great and so is the Taco Bamba. The 'Ol Dirty Basket quesadilla and the mulita birria was good but slightly one dimensional. The consomme was overpowering the meat. The Queen Bee taco is really different from the rest of the flavors and is definitely new age.

THE CHURROS!!!? Let me tell you…I’ve had fake churros never any real ones. THESE Churros at Taco Bamba are LEGIT. They’re moist, have just the right amount of sweetness and is served with this heavenly chocolate sauce. 100/10, going back for more in 2 days since I didn’t save my girlfriend some ?

So I haven't eaten there actually but have picked up for UE once before. Tonight, my UEpickup wasn't quite ready yet (needed 2 more mins, which is fine as I've waited longer at other places). Kyler at the pick up asked if I wanted food since I had to wait (I had to verify it was for me, not the customer) and they had extra. He gave me a lamb birria quesadilla w/ spicy lamb broth birria sauce. It was great! Maybe I'll order when I work from home!
What an amazing place! The staff is very friendly and helpful. I received above and beyond service from Esme. The manager stepped away from what he was doing and answered a couple of questions with a smile. And lest I forget, the food is amazing as well! Lol. I couldn't recommend this place more.

Having moved to Raleigh from the DC area several years ago, I was SO excited for Taco Bamba in Raleigh. I would frequent the original location and am so happy to see their continued expansion and success. Everything is consistently delicious. Probably the best tacos, etc in the area

This is my favorite place to eat!! I've had the salad, multiple tacos and the food is soooooo delicious. They also have a bar if you want to belly up.
We drove an hour away to try something “different” we did think it was gonna more traditional food.3 of us tried the street corn we strongly do not recommend it. Its a little more tangy then normal.We got the and loved the queen bee taco (your gonna want 2 of them)We got the lamb birria tacos and it was good but the consama had no flavor so we perfer the taco truck in Raleigh.The choriqueso and I thought it was salty. My boyfriend liked it but wish it had more pico and quac.Overall it’s not a bad place if you don’t know traditional food.Kid-friendliness: Outside area for kids to run around
