Taco Bamba

This is my second time eating at Taco Bamba. (I left another review on the one in Backlick Rd) We we’re attended promptly and the food came out fast. It was beautiful to eat outside in the outside seating available. The food was deliciously good, seasoned, and the colors popped out! Although, I don’t really agree with the drinks pricing. $4 for a coca cola in a glass bottle… That’s way over priced. Anyways, I will continue going to Taco Bamba for their well-prepared traditional tacos and their carne asada steak fries. Taco Bamba never disappoints when it comes to their well put together food.

I visited on a Tuesday evening to satisfy a Taco Tuesday craving. Ordering online was quite easy, and I appreciate being able to note food allergies I have. After reviewing the menu, I ordered pasole rojo soup, guacamole and chips, two regular tacos (birria and chicharron), one special taco (million to Juan), and some churros. My order was ready a few minutes earlier than promised online which worked great given I arrived a few minutes early anyway. Service was cordially efficient, and I was pleased to see the effort taken to double check my order for accuracy (which it absolutely was). The soup had a clean taste with well cooked pork. The chips were crispy and not overly salty and went well with the portion of guacamole that tasted fresh and refreshingly mild compared to others I have sampled. Tacos typically had assertive flavors in past visits, and these did not lack for flavor or spice. The birria taco I found to be a little too spicy to enjoy the meat like I wanted. However the other two had not only well cooked protein and other ingredients but appropriate seasoning for my taste. Churros felt a little blander than I remembered but still satisfied me with a crispy texture without being at all oily. The caramel at the bottom is just about the right amount so the churros retain their crispiness. The bill came to around $35 including tax and tip, so I feel like I received a good value for my visit and could return for future visits when for a taco Tuesday or a non-Tuesday taco craving.

Tacos are excellent, tried the fish and shrimp with both varieties they have and all was good. I made a mistake ordering and asked for flour tortillas after they had rung me up. The teller was upset about it but made the change. Service is fast but they could do with cheering up a bit. Not exactly service with a smile.

So good, always. By far my favorite taco place. Everyone who works there is so nice, and the food is FANTASTIC, quick delivery, great variety. Love their specialty tacos like Grandaddy Fish Og and Arabe.
