“I cannot recommend this place enough - it truly hits the mark for any occasion, whether it be a casual hangout, romantic date, important business meeting, or catching up with friends. The ambiance is lively and vibrant, creating an atmosphere that is both energetic and comfortable. And let me tell you, the service here is unparalleled. The staff truly goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and taken care of. Even without a reservation, we were accommodated with ease. The hostess offered us a table, but we opted for the bar instead. Our bartender, Denisse, was an absolute gem. She was warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. She recommended some fantastic cocktails and dishes that we simply couldn't resist. We started with the passionfruit mezcalita, which was so refreshing that we ordered multiple rounds. And then, we dove into the menu. I decided to try a variety of tacos, and let me tell you - they did not disappoint. The roasted duck taco had a wonderful tamarind glaze and caramelized onions that added the perfect touch of sweetness. The pork belly taco was spicy and flavorful, and the crispy oyster taco was crunchy and delicious. The Baja fish taco, with its spicy tempura-battered cod and chipotle slaw, was an absolute standout. I loved it so much that I ordered four more! My girlfriend went for the chips and salsa verde, which were perfectly seasoned and fresh. She also ordered the chicken tacos, which were juicy and flavorful. And of course, we couldn't resist trying the cheese steak taco with Oaxaca cheese - it was a total winner. Overall, I can confidently say that this restaurant is a must-visit. The freshly squeezed pomegranate juice Paloma with tequila was the perfect finishing touch to an already incredible meal. Don't miss out on this gem in the Reston Town Center.“
“I love this place. All good is made from scratch before your eyes. I have eaten here many times and never had a bad meal. Burritos are great and are served with fresh avocado and rice and a papusa. I also love their ceviche. BeefsteakEnsenbollada is fantastic. Prices are very reasonable. Now days there are only 2 seats on a counter against the wall. At least that was as a month ago. When you want some really good food in the back of a convenience store, this is the place.“
“If you're looking for an international version of a greasy spoon, this is it! Food is superb. Prices are reasonable for anywhere, let alone NOVA. Atmosphere is attractively rough around the edges. And they have good beer on tap. Highly recommend!“
“Banditos Tacos and Tequila was definitely a pleasant surprise. Despite it being a busy Friday night and not having a reservation, there was no wait for great booth seating - and the music was great.The Hamburger Nachos were scrumptious and were definitely shareable — the portion size was huge!! I went with the Quesadilla Marina for my main course & devoured it!! The Old Bay seasoned shrimp and cilantro claw were THE perfect combo with the Chihuahua cheese ?Our server was super duper attentive and checked in often to make sure we had enough water and also weren’t waiting to order anything else.“
“My niece and I came for the Tamales cooking class. Chef Tomas was the best. Very friendly and his love for cooking is contagious. Our tasting included the Tamales, tacos and empanada. All DELICIOUS. We ended staying for the cocktail class. Lots of fun. Great vibe. Great people. Samet was our instructor for the Tequila tasting. He too was very friendly and made the whole experience a lot of fun. We drove from Baltimore for the event today and it was well worth it. We'll be back.“
“The best tacos and Californian Burritos you can find in the DMV area. Ditch Chipotle and other big name taco places - this place is everything you need. I love the Californian burritos and the steak tacos. The staff is always friendly and helpful.“
“Visited for the first time this evening and loved it! Sat at the bar and talked with the really friendly and helpful waitstaff/bar tenders. There was music playing, but not nearly as loud as some of the other places, so it was very nice to sit and talk with the person I was with. The happy hour drink and food specials are great and go on until 7pm every day! Once our food arrived, we were completely sold. We got 4 different tacos and all were wonderful! Very full tacos with lots of flavor. All the meats were juicy and delicious and the pico and corn salsas were obviously fresh and full of color and flavor. We will definitely be back!!“
“Great hole in the wall spot on the second floor. Food is delicious - not too oily so tacos don't get soggy. Great range of menu options. The steak, beef, chicken are halal.Dietary restrictions: The meat (chicken, beef) is halalParking: Strip mall with lots of spots to park“
“Let me tell you this place is amazing! The pork belly tacos, amazing. The birria was GREAT. THE SERVICE OUTSTANDING. Diego and Monique are the best! I will continue to come here and ask for either of these lovely people. This place is amazing.“
“"Taco Bamba is a true gem in the world of Mexican cuisine. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with vibrant colors and aromas that set the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The menu is a culinary adventure, offering a tantalizing array of tacos, each bursting with flavor and authenticity. Whether you're a meat lover, a seafood enthusiast, or a devout vegetarian, there's something for everyone here. The ingredients are fresh, the portions are generous, and the presentation is impeccable. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always eager to make recommendations. And let's not forget about the drinks - their margaritas are simply sublime! Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or settling in for a leisurely meal with friends, Taco Bamba never disappoints. It's a must-visit destination for any food lover."“
“Happy hour was packed and I thought I’d be waiting for a while for my drinks and food, but that was not the case. My beer came amazingly fast and my tacos were served soon afterwards and were delicious. I was just looking for a convenient place nearby my hotel, but it was so much more than I expected. I look forward to going again.“
“Taco Bamba in Fairfax is OK. But Vienna is better in terms of options and experience. Stilly, good vegetarian options. Been here tons of times. Staff, even if it's backed up, work really hard and people don't wait too long.Parking: Hard to find a space in the evenings.“
“Giving 4 stars because I had one of the absolute best steak quesadillas I’ve ever had here a week or two ago. I went back today but it seems they switched the meat and I am not sure how to feel about it… :( also there’s a blob of mayonnaise in place of sour cream. Maybe an off day?“
“Outstanding nachos! Perfect complement of cotija cheese and sautéed veggies. And the chips were robust enough to could keep up with my aggressive scoops. I’m 25 minutes from this place and I’d considered driving back just for another run at the nachos.“
“Best taco bamba in my opinion. Plenty of parking spots. Fast service. Food is goodVegetarian options: Depends on the menu, they have a coupleDietary restrictions: Ask the employee, they would be better helpParking: Open space parking lot, unique shopping center but enough parking spots if not the weekend or busy dayKid-friendliness: Clean and friendly environmentWheelchair accessibility: Not really accessible“
“Came here while I was visiting DC for the weekend and this place was great! Food was fresh and full of flavor. I had the fish bowl and let's say delicious. It was so good we had to come back the next day to get an order before we left town.“
“The food was absolutely delicious!! My friends and I have been wanting to try out this restaurant and I think we’ve found our new hangout spot. Our waiter was very attentive, everything we ordered was very tasty, and the Latin music added a fun and lively atmosphere. We felt very welcomed and we will probably come back this next week. Highly recommend!!“
“The Great Falls location our goto Friday night with the kids. The food is great and the manager is a real pleasure. I love the Margaritas and the beers on tap as well. We often bring friends and they always remark what a great place to unwind from a long week!“
“For something that's hidden in an office park I was surprised. Everything was cooked to order fresh. Very good breakfast sandwich hot toasty. Definitely coming back here.Hopefully for lunch to see what they got in store.But breakfast they got it locked down a love kind of like the deli atmosphere. Is there are restrooms for paying customers. Great bang for your buck. Definitely coming back.“
“A few years ago, this place deserved 6 stars, it was amazing. Since expanding and growing its lost some of its luster. Online ordering forces you to have the same toppings on all your tacos if you get a 2/3/4 pack. Plus you can’t get two of the same meat, makes no sense.The salsa is now in packets like Taco Bell.It’s great to see that they have been successful but just like District Taco, the quality and options have been reduced.“
