Day at the bar and even though there was no one there but me the bartender ignored me for 5 plus minutes while she catered to the floor. It would have been nice for her to at least acknowledge I was there. I ordered tacos and when served I had to ask the hostess for napkins and water even though the bartender was at the bar. The tacos were not good at all. The tortilla was stone cold and the shrimp was absolutely a frozen fried shrimp. I grew up cooking in restaurants on the east end of long Island and I can tell you the food has definitely cheapened here from when they first opened. This is the third time I have been here in a short time to see and it's the same. All I can say is get it together BOMBA you need a great chef and staff that does not appear they feel they are above you.

We search high and low for new places for my son to eat, that has GF options. I have to say..this is one of the best we have ever found. GF Brazilian cheddar cheese bread balls, with a Chipotle honey dipping sauce. What!!! Yep. Legit. Tacos were fantastic, some of the best I've ever had. Top notch. Staff was extremely knowledgeable about celiacs. Stop reading this..get in your car and get you some tacos!!

They have a lot of fun and out of the box types of tacos but I had a hard time finding something simple to eat. I ended up getting some kind of taco salad and it was okay, but I wouldn't get it again. The plantain chips were really good, though, as a starter! The restaurant had probably one or two other customers the entire hour and a half that we were there, and it was on a weekend. Doesn't seem like a very popular spot!

Used to be really good but it’s just not spicy enough now.Bring back Fresno peppers. Put hot sauce in tacos by default.If people can’t handle the heat, why are they at a taco place? Just add an option for the “I’m a wimp” version of tacos that removes all heat but you’re a taco place so KEEP THE SPICY.Edit: Fresno peppers, was told they’re removed for being too spicy. Hot sauce used to be hotter and doesn’t come on the usual tacos, was told it was too hot for people and it was now more mild. I’ll definitely be back still

First of all this place was delicious and the service was great, let’s get that out of the way. We ordered a beer, a delicious margarita (roasted pineapple or something to that effect) the dip trio, and the lunch tacos with a side of fries and an extra taco on the side. Well, we had ordered the sweet potato side that they had but they gave it to us in taco form, but it was pretty good and much cheaper than the side. Oh, the tacos we got were all three of their vegetarian options, the Brussels taco was outrageously tasty.I rated this place 4 stars instead of 5 because it was just really expensive. The food was very good quality, so I can’t complain too much, but the dip trio was over 16$ (we definitely wouldn’t have ordered it if we would’ve noticed the price) and it was not necessarily worth that much money. They have little suggestions on their menu of how much food a normal person might expect to need to get their fill, trust me, you probably don’t need THAT much. 3-4 tacos a person + a side and an app might render you unable to leave the restaurant!Thank you for the tasty meal!

Where do I start! Well, let's start with my amazing server! She originally was on bartending because there wasn't a host to help us, but she stepped up to the occasion. She sat us immediately and gave us some waters and came back for drinks. I got a Mexican piña soda, and my Brucie got a agua fresca! We both enjoyed it very much. While we waited for our food, we took in the amazing low warm lighting, I felt right back at home in Argentina. My food came steaming and delicious, and of course we went back for dessert. Thank you to my server for making this a unique experience, and thank you to Brucie for being my bestest of friends

We were visiting in Akron and stopped here to grab some takeout. The staff here is top notch. The entire process of ordering and getting our order was so smooth. The staff was polite, professional and extremely helpful. We weren't super impressed with the rice bowls (they were too dry) but the hibiscus margarita was out of this world (you can get it to go as well!), the rest of the food was pretty good as well. We will give this place another try next time we are in town.

The plantains are one of my favorite side dishes of all time. The build your own guac is also really good. And they have a lot of unique taco options. Based on how their menu is built, they would probably be a good place for large groups as well.

Fun place, good food, fair prices. The Nashville Hot Chicken tacos were the best. Wish I got all 3 of them but BBQ pork and Spicy Shrimp were good. The Banana chips with the Mango salsa was an excellent combo.
We had a great Time at Bomba! My wife and I had a 10 pack of tacos, pretty much everything on the menu. Awesome flavor combos! I loved the Vietnamese meatball taco. My slightly less adventurous kids both had quesadillas, which we're tasty and well made. We also tried some margaritas, and both flavors hit the spot. We will go back!

I've always enjoyed bomba the most for tacos. I'm always shocked to see some locations slow. Always have loved their food!

First time coming here . Our waitress did a great job helping us decide what to eat off the menus and working around allergy concerns . Impressed with the waitress we had but unimpressed with the food! Was very bland , unseasoned and smallPortions for the price. Mid to higher end on cost!

So two years later we did return. And it was much better than the first time. We ordered 4 kinds of tacos and none of them disappointed.Thai Chicken a nice blend of hot and sweet, with peanuts and cilantro slaw.Smoked BBQ Pork a little heavy on the crispy onions but loaded with delicious meat.Chicken Tinga great combo with nice lime cream and vinaigrette slaw. A bit on the spicy side.Carne Asada delicious combo of what you'd expect from a carne asada taco.We also ordered the guacamole for appetizer which was ok. Not a lot of flavor, I would have added more cilantro, onion and lime. It's served with plantains, malanga and corn chips.Good service, very competitive prices. We'll return.
