We search high and low for new places for my son to eat, that has GF options. I have to say..this is one of the best we have ever found. GF Brazilian cheddar cheese bread balls, with a Chipotle honey dipping sauce. What!!! Yep. Legit. Tacos were fantastic, some of the best I've ever had. Top notch. Staff was extremely knowledgeable about celiacs. Stop reading this..get in your car and get you some tacos!!

They have a lot of fun and out of the box types of tacos but I had a hard time finding something simple to eat. I ended up getting some kind of taco salad and it was okay, but I wouldn't get it again. The plantain chips were really good, though, as a starter! The restaurant had probably one or two other customers the entire hour and a half that we were there, and it was on a weekend. Doesn't seem like a very popular spot!

Used to be really good but it’s just not spicy enough now.Bring back Fresno peppers. Put hot sauce in tacos by default.If people can’t handle the heat, why are they at a taco place? Just add an option for the “I’m a wimp” version of tacos that removes all heat but you’re a taco place so KEEP THE SPICY.Edit: Fresno peppers, was told they’re removed for being too spicy. Hot sauce used to be hotter and doesn’t come on the usual tacos, was told it was too hot for people and it was now more mild. I’ll definitely be back still

First of all this place was delicious and the service was great, let’s get that out of the way. We ordered a beer, a delicious margarita (roasted pineapple or something to that effect) the dip trio, and the lunch tacos with a side of fries and an extra taco on the side. Well, we had ordered the sweet potato side that they had but they gave it to us in taco form, but it was pretty good and much cheaper than the side. Oh, the tacos we got were all three of their vegetarian options, the Brussels taco was outrageously tasty.I rated this place 4 stars instead of 5 because it was just really expensive. The food was very good quality, so I can’t complain too much, but the dip trio was over 16$ (we definitely wouldn’t have ordered it if we would’ve noticed the price) and it was not necessarily worth that much money. They have little suggestions on their menu of how much food a normal person might expect to need to get their fill, trust me, you probably don’t need THAT much. 3-4 tacos a person + a side and an app might render you unable to leave the restaurant!Thank you for the tasty meal!

The plantains are one of my favorite side dishes of all time. The build your own guac is also really good. And they have a lot of unique taco options. Based on how their menu is built, they would probably be a good place for large groups as well.

Fun place, good food, fair prices. The Nashville Hot Chicken tacos were the best. Wish I got all 3 of them but BBQ pork and Spicy Shrimp were good. The Banana chips with the Mango salsa was an excellent combo.

We had a great Time at Bomba! My wife and I had a 10 pack of tacos, pretty much everything on the menu. Awesome flavor combos! I loved the Vietnamese meatball taco. My slightly less adventurous kids both had quesadillas, which we're tasty and well made. We also tried some margaritas, and both flavors hit the spot. We will go back!

So two years later we did return. And it was much better than the first time. We ordered 4 kinds of tacos and none of them disappointed.Thai Chicken a nice blend of hot and sweet, with peanuts and cilantro slaw.Smoked BBQ Pork a little heavy on the crispy onions but loaded with delicious meat.Chicken Tinga great combo with nice lime cream and vinaigrette slaw. A bit on the spicy side.Carne Asada delicious combo of what you'd expect from a carne asada taco.We also ordered the guacamole for appetizer which was ok. Not a lot of flavor, I would have added more cilantro, onion and lime. It's served with plantains, malanga and corn chips.Good service, very competitive prices. We'll return.

We went for a late lunch, it wasn't very busy. Our server was fantastic. The food was delicious, definitely loved the shrimp taco with mango and jalapeño, just amazing combination. The guacamole was delicious. Overall just a great experience, great service and excellent food. Highly recommend.

This is my favourite restaurant in Fairlawn! I come here on a more or less regular occasion. There are plenty of vegetarian and gluten free options. Some vegetarian items can be made vegan as well (I'm vegan myself). Their margaritas are absolutely lovely! I always take my friends here for lunch.

Vegetarian options: Plenty of Vegetarian options

Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free, Vegetarian, Vegan

Quite an interesting place and so many unique tacos to try. The chip blend was different but delightful. We enjoyed the peanut salsa. The drinks were a plus. I would have enjoyed more moist ingredients on the tacos. Still pretty good.

Take my advice and don’t order the brussel sprout taco on a hard corn shell. The shells tasted burnt and were super greasy. The filling was almost none existent.FYI: Please give an option for a SOFT white corn shell and/or a HARD corn shell on your menu. I expected to see yellow corn shells when I initially ordered my food.I will give this restaurant 2 STARS for my fries with the mildly spicy seasoning. I didn’t enjoy the tacos.

I just love their tacos! Always flavorful and packed full of ingredients. The kids meals are a great value for their portion sizes too.

The lack of teamwork at this restaurant is disgusting! Our server not only seated us he bussed tables, ran drinks, apps and entrees! I noticed other servers with less tables and not helping at all. His drinks sat at the bar and no one helped, not even the bartender who did not have guests. Bathrooms were appalling. Food was great tho
