Bomba Taco + Bar | Newtown

I visited Bomba to meet a friend for a weekend dinner. We were sat by the hostess as soon as we came in. The restaurant was very well-staffed to accommodate a busy Saturday evening. Our server did a great job answering any questions we had. We ordered a few appetizers while we were deciding on our tacos. Our Street Corn and Brazilian Cheesy Bread appetizers arrived first. Even though Bomba is more contemporary than authentic, the Street Corn was grilled and seasoned to perfection. It compared very similarly to what I’ve had at traditional Mexican spots. The Brazilian Cheesy Bread was delicious, but definitely more dense and cheesy compared to what’s served at Brazilian restaurants. Our tacos were presented exceptionally when they arrived. I ordered three different tacos. I was surprised that my favorite was the Sweet Potato taco. Both the flavor and texture of the toppings completed the sweet potato perfectly. The Yard Bird taco was much more flavorful than expected. The chicken was seasoned perfectly, and the toppings were fresh. The Nashville Hot Chicken taco was solid besides the chicken being a bit too oily. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked Bomba Taco. Food was great, service was consistent, and ambiance was enjoyable. I definitely see myself returning if I’m in the area again.

The place looked funky but food fell short. The tacos sounded very nice on paper but when it came, the amount of protein vs taco was out of proportion. Also the heat/kick component was missing.

We went to Bomba for brunch. We ordered the Bomba breakfast bowl, tropical fruit waffles, the yard bird taco, the baja shrimp taco and the April taco of the month (Taki crusted cauliflower), and a Bloody Mary. The food was good. Everything was tasty.

Bomba Taco in Newtown has become my go to place for tacos! My favorite tacos are the Blackened salmon with no jalapeños and the Carne Asada Tacos. I’ve got these tacos multiple times and the salmon has always been cooked nicely and the sauce is really tasty! Also, the steak in the Carne Asada has always been good and still juicy after getting it home! I have also enjoyed the smoked Brussels sprouts and the BBQ Cauliflower Wings. If you’re in the area you should definitely stop by and get some tacos!

My husband and I recently moved to the area and quickly found Bomba. We haven't had a reason to look elsewhere. This place is GOOD. Fresh, delicious, and the service is really great. Everyone there is super kind. We haven't had any alcoholic drinks there, but they look good and everyone seems to love them. I'll try the out one day. You can get the tacos a la carte or do a 10 pack. Highly recommend the 10-pack because it's more economical, and who doesn't like leftover tacos?

Bomba taco was so good and the atmosphere even better. We sat outside which was very nice. Could be a great place to share a bunch of apps with friends. We def wanted to try everything. I highly recommend anything with the mango, as it was so fresh!

I felt that the food was solid, but not great. 2 of my 3 tacos were good, and the Mexican street corn was a winner, but a few of our dishes just didn't really do it. My wife did love her smoked pineapple margarita, though. It was quite pretty. I found the service to be slow and our server abrupt, and the entire place was just too noisy for me - but I guess that comes with any place that has "and bar" in its name. I'd be willing to give it another shot, but not too soon...

Everything was great! Atmosphere was super fun. The appetizers recommended by our waitress were also phenomenal. We had the smoked corn and caramelized onion queso. It comes with a few different kinds of chips which was cool. Also tried the cauliflower wings which i loved. All the tacos were amazing and the margaritas were great too. We loved the watermelon one! Angelique is a FIRE waitress - definitely recommend asking for her.
