Please lay off the salt. This is my second time ordering tacos and they were so salty I could not eat them. Just gross. The food was fresh and ready for pick up when expected.

Food was good. Saw a cockroach behind the counter.

Best tacos we've had outside of Mexico City. The lengua is amazing. Loud bass heavy music is the only thing to complain about, but if it helps them make tacos all day, it's worth it. Will be back with noise cancelling headphones. Salsas are amazing too

came here Sunday and the man cashier who gives the food. act like a robot no talking and dismissive. if you work at customer service serve! don't just point at stuff. I think either he is slow or non English speaking. bad image for the company. the lady was nice but the other guy look like he too old to work there or his glasses make him blind.

The food was really good. The agua fresca at another location was way better, but this one was not bad. Only down side is the lack of space to eat. There a few seats outside, but there just isn't a lot of space. So I suggest ordering ahead and just doing carryout, unless you are coming for the margaritas.

This place has always been great but they were really 6 stars today. I ordered an uber eats pickup and the app did something wrong and placed the order for a different location. They sorted it out and made sure we were taken care of. This place always exceeds my expectations and I can’t recommend it enough.
2020 Most everything I've had was good. Taco Bamba Taco was very tasty. I love the Mexican Street Corn on-the-cob. It's so good. Did not like the queso & chips. Chips tasted burnt and queso was too thick and salty.
2025 Update. I've come to love Taco Bamba more than I realized. I've been to all the locations in Northern Virginia and enjoy them all. Recently I started trying noon tacos at locations that I've been to several times. Today I tried the torta for the first time. I got the Cubana. It was huge and delicious and very messy. All the insides slid out the bread. I eventually just ate the insides without the bread.

I’ve ordered carne asadas tacos and the meat was so bad, expired and it had sand on it. I wanted to go back to the place but it was closed already. I usually dine in here and never had an issue till now.

First I’d like to say that the tacos are amazing. However today I ordered tacos and noticed I was charged $1 to substitute 2 corn tortillas to flour tortillas. This is foreign to me because this has never happened before. Upon explaining this to Morena, she responded by saying the other cashiers in the past made a mistake and charging me was in fact correct. Poor customer service from Morena brings me to my review today.

The food is excellent 10 out of 10 but the service and the atmosphere is very tense and they are not very friendly, from what I observed the manager, I don't know if her name is Morena, she is very rough with the employees and with my experience in leadership, believe me that the character of the manager has everything to do with the work team, she does not know how to deal with people and that makes the environment stressful for the employee and they transmit that stress to the client!
The food is excellent, a solid 10 out of 10. However, the service and atmosphere feels very tense, and the staff is not particularly friendly. From what I've observed, the manager—I'm not sure if her name is Morena—treats the employees very rudely. Based on my experience in leadership, I can confidently say that a manager's character has a significant impact on the work environment. She doesn't know how to treat people, which creates a stressful atmosphere for the employees, and that stress inevitably gets passed on to the customers!

I LOVE Taco Bamba!!!!! Food was amazing!! And staff were great. Only giving 3 stars because they don’t have a changing table in either bathroom and I had to change my toddler on the bathroom floor. Luckily I have a changing pad but it’s still really gross and hurt my back. Also, it would be nice if they had a kid’s menu. I had to bring in Wendy’s for my kiddo.
