Q:
Do they have Tamales? I got baby Jesus in the Rosca de Reyes, so I need a place that has good tamales to take my family on February. The menu does not mention Tamales, but some reviews do, so I am confused. Thanks!
A:
Hi Franklin, Yes we do have tamales, but only at the Falls Church location. Hope that helps. Travis… more

Damn it's Tenzin back with another review and this time we have the local g spot aka that store that keeps you coming back for more Taco Bamba.
Listen is the tacos overpriced? Maybe.
Are they good? Maybe.
Are they AMAZING when your hungry asf? Yes.
That's the type of restaurant your dealing with here, at its core it's really not that good but in that specific scenario where your hungry and looking for something to scarf down while watching master chef like the slob you know you are then this store is for you.
And for all you gym bros coming at me talking bout some " i'm not a slob" bro go look at your room it's boring asf no wonder she left you.
All in all a great restaurant and honestly a good experience it does take a little long sometimes to get your food but it's worth it when your hungry and craving mexican tacos.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Gurleen M.Leesburg, VA107575Oct 30, 2023
Taco Bamba is a taco lover's paradise! This place knows how to craft mouthwatering, authentic Mexican tacos that never disappoint.
From the first bite, it's clear that Taco Bamba is all about flavor. The variety of tacos they offer is impressive, catering to all tastes. Whether you're into traditional al pastor, spicy chorizo, or adventurous combinations, you'll find something to satisfy your cravings.
What sets Taco Bamba apart is the quality of their ingredients. The meats are tender and seasoned to perfection, and the tortillas are fresh and delicious. The toppings and salsas add an extra layer of flavor, making every taco a delightful explosion of taste.
The ambiance is casual and inviting, making it a great spot for a quick, satisfying meal. The service is friendly and efficient, ensuring you get your tacos just the way you like them.
Taco Bamba has become my go-to spot for a taco fix. It's a place where you can enjoy a satisfying, flavorful meal without breaking the bank. Whether you're dining in or grabbing a quick takeout, Taco Bamba is a must-visit for any taco enthusiast. It's an easy five-star rating from me!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Tim K.San Francisco, CA015Apr 22, 2024

Taco Bamba is my go-to taco shop when I'm in the DC area. This was my first time at the Falls Church location. It's really small- only counter seating- and the biggest downside is there's no bar. They were playing awesome classic rock, but it was very loud so don't come here if you want to have a conversation with someone.
The man who took my order (Sandro?) was super nice and personable. The nachos were the best I've had in the area.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Aug 1, 2023

Really good chain restaurant option. I've been to the Fairfax one, but first time here.
I had the Carne Asada (seared beef) and Tinga (braised chicken) tacos. I also had the guacamole and chips. The tacos were good, but missed some greens on it. Good flavors, I added some guacamole to each bite. Very good. Really enjoyed the guac. Very well made. Could be a bit spicier but added some zing from the salsa bar. **Really fun option with their salsa bar. This dresses up any meal and bite. They have to-go cups so you can take it with you.
Very limited seating outdoors. Bar-like seating indoors. I think this is a popular to-go place.
Definitely consider them if you are looking for a quick, tasty bite.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Oct 17, 2023
Taco Bamba is a great casual spot to grab some quick tacos. They have a huge menu with traditional and special taco flavors. Do note, they pride themselves on only serving tacos, you won't find burritos here. Most of the tacos here range from $4-5. The meat in my tacos were seasoned generously and there's 4 premade salsas available to choose from. I also appreciated how they had lots of hot sauces out to use. My favorite was probably the Taco Bamba which is one of their most popular. I love the crispy bits of quac? on top, thought it added a nice texture.

Probably my favorite taco chain in the dmv. Solid tacos and appetizers and nachos. We came to the falls church location during the bar crawl week and we're blown away by the mango drink they had. The steak nachos were also solid. I got shrimp tacos, chicken tacos, and also chicken rings tacos. All were perfect. Can't wait to go back and try some more.
