Prob the best chain taco spot in Virginia. Love the fiesta corn, love how you can get your taco in a lettuce wrap, love all the salsa options. Really nice stuff

I am so mad at myself for sleeping on this place for so long. The food hits the spot every single time. Great happy hour with actual happy hour pricing. Tried them out for breakfast too and the chilaquiles were flavorful. The rice is meh but the beans and others seasonings more than make up for it. Try the Jeffrey to have your tastebuds transported. Also had the cup o Bamba which was a lot of food for the price point. Packed with protein and flavor. Love the free coffee. Great mocktails as well as selection of tequila. Can’t beat the service. They are super friendly and attentive. Will keep coming back.

Ordered take out. A bowl and three tacos.
The bowl was $15! No bigger than a chipotle bowl. They have way too many toppings and not enough meat. I got the al pastor which was dried, clearly cut way ahead of time, and wildly salty.
The tacos are $4 or $5 each. We had a fish, shrimp, and al pastor. fish and shrimp were good, but al pastor was the same as the salad.
Overpriced for portions and the meat was prepared way ahead of time.

I usually love Taco Bamba but the shirlington location is really stingy with their bowls. I ordered the bowl and there was barely any quinoa, meat, or beans. The container was a little less than full and was more salad greens than anything else. Whenever I go to the other location in Springfield they always fill the bowl with good portions of all the ingredients. Overall, I was disappointed with Taco Bamba Shirlington.

Got some food to go and was really great. Not sure what their beans and rice recipe is but delicious. Only gripe is that music inside is concert level.

Overall decent but I was underwhelmed by the torta. Would liked some less chewy bread and a different style of protein (not ground meat). I did like that there was a free coffee special and the staff were very friendly. I would still come back for their tacos which I've had before and enjoyed.

Consistently fresh and flavorful tacos. If you're not eating breakfast here, then you're missing out. Possibly the best breakfast tacos in the DMV, and they come with free (and delicious) coffee. Highly recommend for a quick and satisfying meal.
First time at this location and it didn’t disappoint. We had the huevos rancheros, taco carne asada, and chicharron tacos. Great flavors and service were top notch. They were offering discounts for Federal workers during the government shutdown. Will return for sure

This is where I go for my torta fix. I’ve tried all the ones they have on the menu and they’re all fantastic. The salsas they have are great.

Food is okay but the prices keep going up. $5.50 for a taco …. Not worth it
