So all that hype around this place… and OK, so maybe we went there on a wrong day at a wrong time - Friday night, around 5:30pm (which was still a happy hour I think) but it was one of the most unpleasant experiences we had in a long time. The place is very small (a couple of tables inside) — and so combine it with an EXTREMELY loud music, A LOT of people, almost no separation between the tables and the bar with a lot of loud-talking adults and you have a disaster. My drink was mostly ice with very little tequila in a small glass (again, probably happy hour thing), so that’s minus a point. A lot of take-out orders, seemed going a bit slow… Cannot emphasize it enough- the music was so loud, we felt like we should’ve brought noise-canceling phones with us and to order a drink at the bar my husband had to get soooo close to the barman that he won’t care to admit, lol. We just wanted to have something new, not necessarily traditional tacos and let me tell you - believe them when they say “hot” - they really are super ?️ !!! The mushroom one I couldn’t eat, it was so spicy. So if you like basic but very spicy food, you may enjoy it; we won’t be returning though.

This was my first time actually eating from Taco Bamba. I heard rave reviews from friends, but sometimes their judgment can be questionable lol so my new colleague is going and I decide to order a bowl. AMAZING!!!! Everything is fresh, delicious, and it feels healthy...is that even a thing? Okay I am making it a thing...a delicious gym in a bowl. I will be back here for more.

Food was good and the staff was really nice. My only issue was that the music was too loud and it took away from the dining experience. Besides that, I would really recommend. The mexican street corn was SOOO good!

My only regret is that I was too hungry to take pictures! The manager, Dave, greeted us like old friends and seated us outside. It was a pleasant evening in March and we enjoyed the eclectic music wafting out on the cool Spring breeze. Dave was very friendly and engaging throughout our meal. We laughed, we cried, and all the while we felt so alive.We ordered the Bamba Fries, the Tinga Pack The Bowl, the Palestinian Chicken Taco, and the Crunchy Shrimp Taco. Everything was superlative and the Palestinian Chicken is a new favorite. I imagine one morning in the not so distant future I'll find myself in the shower planning my day and craving a Palestinian Chicken Taco.Just my 3 cents ?!

By far the best Taco Bamba in the area, great music, cute neighborhood feel bar, quick (when not too busy), and ample parking. Convinced they have the best specialty tacos, like the Sweet Meen (must try) and the Palestinian Chicken. $5-$6 Margs during happy hour, try the Michelada too. Love the steak torta as well. We go multiple times a week and it NEVER disappoints. The fact they have delicious bottomless salsa bar too really makes you feel like you get a great value. Worth the drive even if you live closer to a different Taco Bamba.

We got take out, and watched as they prepared the food. Everything was done quickly and everyone took appropriate sanitary precautions. The descriptions concerning heat need to be a bit clearer. I do not like real spicy, and so I thought anything called el gringo would be safe. Not so. One bite and I was done. The crunchy shrimp taco was delicious and evenly spiced.
Five stars! Food quality, taste, price is perfect.

Bless this staff I came in right at the end because no where else was open and the manager (Michael ) and his staff were so accommodating and really came through for me. They’re very hard working and the food is always top notch!
Go to taco joint. The wings are great!
