First time at Bomba. Amazing! Our server Gwen was alot of fun and did a great job explaining and directing us on what we should order. Their food is made to order and fresh made. No goopy cheese dip here.
The chips and hard shell tacos are terrific and created in house. Great selection of margaritas and beers. Lots of tv’s for us sports fans and a big outdoor area for kids. Chill vibe. Get here now!

Service was nice and fast but this place feels heartless, despite the neon “taco tuesday” signs. Mango salsa was lacking in depth and all meats on tacos were overcooked, especially the chicken tinga. Basically feels like a soulless corporate restaurant with overpriced food.

I ordered the 3-taco combo with carne asada, chicken tinga, and baja shrimp. The shrimp taco was by far the best- crispy and well seasoned, with a very good mango salsa. The chicken tinga was a little bland, but the carne asada had a great char to it. The side of coconut mango rice was not good- very salty and not creamy. Little tiny diced pieces of mango. The charred pineapple mule was fantastic- it had pineapple blended in and just overall a great flavor. Great service.

I had such hope for this place. The atmosphere is amazing and all it had to do was serve some killer tacos and we would have made this our regular spot, but alas, the food fell short and the price is astronomical. I fear we will not be back.
We were sat on the patio, which we requested, the guy who sat us was great, he moved an umbrella to make sure we were in the shade, since it was the hottest part of the day we were thankful. We perused the menu.
Tacos come in packs of 2, 3, or 9. Huh? Why can’t we just order each taco that we want? And why does it go 2,3 then 9? Why is there no 4 pack? 2, 4, and 8 would make WAY more sense. Then we do the math, each taco is like $5-6!!!! Whaaat? No wonder it’s hidden under the multiple packs, that come with nothing by the way, no rice… or beans, or chips… did I mention you have to pay for chips?
So we decide to try the Brazilian Cheesy Bread (which was odd to see here but okay) and then the guacamole fries. The standout of the visit was the cheesy bread. The guacamole fries were cheap and definitely not worth the $12.50 price. That should have been way under $10.
We ordered two ranch waters and they came out without sparkling water, like they used still water, so they were bland. My husband asked on his second one for sparkling water and it still came out with flat water.
Then the tacos came. Uneventful. The steak was okay, but tough, and no sauces or possibility of sauces were provided. The Tinga tasted like cheap tomato sauce, and the Al Pastor was not like any Al Pastor that I have ever tasted. Everything was just bland. Forgetful. We added plantains as a side for $3. The plantains were great but please do not put sour cream and onions on them, that’s weird and it tasted weird.
Our server was fine, kind of strange. When my husband ordered our drinks she just went OKAY abruptly and walked away. It did appear she was covering a lot of tables so maybe she was in the weeds. She was fine.
Our bill came and it was $82. Whaaaat? We had two appetizers, shared a 3 count Taco, and I had one drink and my husband had two drinks. There is no planet in this world that should have been that much! $50 would have seemed fair since we had 3 drinks. But a ranch water is usually a pretty cheap cocktail which is why we ordered that.
This was my first and absolute last visit to this establishment. There is nothing aside from the atmosphere that was repeatable. The food needs work and the menu needs reworking, allow people to order tacos one at a time and adjust your prices, tacos should be $3-5, the higher price of course for the more expensive meats.
The value for what I spent just wasn’t there.

It is a fun place to hang out if you don’t mind the extremely loud atmosphere inside. The patio is a lovely on a nice day and the grassy area outside is awesome for the kids. Our waitress was very kind. Unfortunately the kitchen was unable to modify menu items for our allergies. Furthermore, the lettuce in my salad was brown and slimy. In my opinion the tacos are overpriced and should come with rice and beans included not as a $3 additional charge (each).

Good Tacos. Try the mix and match, recommend the Nashville Hot and Grilled Veg and the Coco Loco for the drink. Service is fast and a relaxed atmosphere overall. Slightly higher prices for the tacos but the quality is good.

I have been going to Bomba Malvern since the site opened - and let me tell you, I have LOVED their food and drinks. The atmosphere is always fun, and the service is usually mediocre. HOWEVER, I felt that I had to leave a review after our most recent experience. While the food continues to be delicious, I could not believe the price increase along with the decrease in the amount of food you get. For instance, I get the Baja Shrimp taco every time I go. In my recent visit, I received just two shrimp on my taco - half the shell was empty. This was also the case for the Americano taco. A year ago, the tacos were so full they were almost like sandwiches. Also, to charge $10 for queso (with toppings) and to receive less than a half cup of dip - that is not okay. After my last visit, I may not return because you do not get a decent amount of food for what you pay for.

Overpriced small tacos. Had pieces of meat that were so hard you couldn't chew them. Server was bad. Messed up multiple times and then left before we were done.
