Came for weekday happy hour and it was pretty empty. Food was good & great prices too. Server was kind & quick. The only thing I didn't like was the atmosphere. They need music for a more fun vibe!

The waitress was very nice! The restaurant was pretty clean too. The food was gross though. I make better tacos at home. I the tacos were small and looked like a cheaply made kids taco. I also ordered a side of rice. The rice was plain white rice with nothing on it. Very strange taco joint. Wouldn’t recommend. I hope they improve.

Came here with a friend for dinner. It was Tuesday which was nice because they have a taco Tuesday menu. The place itself is super cute with indoor and outdoor seating. We were seated right away and a server came over right away. I ordered 3 different tacos off the special menu, as well as chips and salsa. My meal came to 11$ which was a great deal! Now, I live in Vegas now, and any kind of Mexican food is wayyyyy different here than there. I guess I'm used to more authentic tacos now because while these were good, they didn't wow me or anything. I wasn't a fan of the chips. They just seemed like store bought and I got a simple salsa Fresca which wasn't fresh. But, again, for the price it was alright. I'd probably skip the chips and salsa next time and just stick with the tacos. We split the churro waffle s'mores dessert and that was so good! I'd go there for that. Overall, it's a solid place to go and I'd go back.

I've been to a few locations and this one has been my least favorite experience. While the prices go up the tacos are barely a children's size. Combine that with the slow food service and the rubbery and stale tortilla chips, and I won't be returning even though it's only a few blocks from my house. The beer was cold and the bartender was nice, that's about all I can say. Too many far superior options to waste my time and money here going forward.

Great food, great vibe! My boyfriend and I absolutely love this place, anytime we have a date night that is one of the top two choices. The staff is very accommodating and kind, there was a mess up with our order, we received someone else's side on accident and they gave it to us free. We hadn't touched the food yet incase they could give it to the correct guest but our server was so sweet about it.

1st time to Bomba, I had heard that had been good.The floors were dirty throughout the restaurant. The men's bathroom had trash overflowing. The sink on right had a broken faucet laying in sink.The food we had was assorted tacos and guacamole. The guac was OK, the tacos had over cooked/dry meats. The only bright spot was Kimberly, who seemed to be only waitress and bar tender on staff at 6pm, was attentive and efficient.This place needs a restaurant rescue!

The service here was great. It was calm and quiet, the patio was open for dining, and it was a nice day for it. As for the food, we had 10 tacos of different varieties, and they were okay. These weren't my favorite tacos by far, but the tortillas used were good. I suggest staying away from the fish tacos completely. Order the ground beef (Americana taco) if you like the soft tacos from Taco Bell because they're almost the same thing. I do suggest you go with chorizo, it has a nice little spice on it or try the steak, although some meat was well done and some almost rare, it tasted okay overall.

Went there late on a Friday night. The place was pretty empty but live band nights started everywhere else Friday nights so it's no surprise. Our server Kimberly was absolutely amazing. We had my 10 month old with us and Kimberly was so good with her. We ordered tacos and I was just going to give her some bits of the shells. Kimberly brought her a little cheesy bread in case she didn't want to eat it. Brought her a water cup, crayons and stuff to keep her busy. She was amazing.

Bomba Tacos was a great dinner option for a delicious and filling taco night. Service was great and responsive to our needs. I was pleasantly surprised how filled the tacos were (many other tacos places around here like to skimp out on that). The 10 tacos for $40 was great deal and the 3 of us were able to take home leftovers. The black bean soup is delicious as well.

AMAZING food but AWFUL service. I am so disappointed. I had my birthday party here with about 18 people. Never have I ever been made to feel like such an inconvenience to a server. I called two days prior to make a reservation. When I arrived there were no tables set up for us. We got put in a side room but we, ourselves, had to push the tables together. The server approached me as soon as I came in without any greeting, just asked me how many checks will there be and was obviously annoyed when I told them we were all separate. It took a very long time to get our drinks and then an even longer time to get our food. My food actually never came out. I understand big parties are a lot of work. I understand the frustration of separate checks. But be kind. Don’t show your frustration to your guests. I felt very uncomfortable and unwelcome. If this was a rating for food alone it would be 5 stars but I was very turned off by the treatment to myself and my guests.

Margaritas were good. Can't speak for the food as we only did guacamole but service was great

Nice restaurant with very delicious food and drinks. Thursday nights, they have live music.

I like this place over barrio in ways because the menu is very creative - I've loved every taco I've tried here! They used to have some really good lunch specials but I think they got rid of most of them.

Came two weeks ago on a Thursday to have good tacos and cheap beer. Food is great and drinks are too. At the same time discovered the band RikOshay playing live. They play music that is “Boomer genre” friendly and slightly after time frame and THEY ARE GOOD. Came back this week tonight on a Thursday and saw them again. They even let audience members join in to sing on songs and in some cases even play instruments. If you are of the Boomer generation come here, the food and drinks are good, staff is friendly, the check is way less in price, and the music takes you back to when you were young and stirs memories of a great time to live.

Their plaintain chips and dips were really good. I ordered the sweet potato bowl and it turned out to be really good too! I did the cauliflower rice instead of regular. Great option for any vegetarian at this place.
