Cecilia was absolutely amazing. She recommended her faves and explained the menu in full detail. The food was so good! Her pleasantness was topnotch. I'll be coming back and will try more of her recommendations, I look forward to it.

All but one taco is spicy. They're relying on the hot sauce to make food taste good. The staff wasn't very friendly. The location is convenient. I wouldn't go back since the menu is too limited for me. I have tried most things on the menu and they were fine. But really, please offer more items that aren't spicy.

**Also try their burger!** Taco Bamba in all locations but especially in Ballston is always bumping good beats and Taco Bamba in general literally has the best tacos in the DMV.

Not to mention….if you have not tried their burger, it’s a must! I don’t want to say it but it might also be one of the best burgers in the DMV, the flavors hit in every bite.
