I honestly couldn’t wait to post this review.
Wow, just wow. Taco Bamba in Rockville left an unforgettable impression on me. When I first walked in, I wasn’t entirely sold—the casual setup of ordering at the counter and getting a number wasn’t my favorite. However, I opted to sit at the bar for full service, and I’m so glad I did.
I arrived around 6:30 PM, just as happy hour was wrapping up, but that didn’t deter me from enjoying every moment of the experience. The prices were very reasonable, making it even more appealing. At first, the bartender, Jesicca, was a bit reserved, but as the evening went on, she warmed up and provided wonderful service.
To start, I ordered the Mexican street corn, and let me tell you—it was absolutely delicious! I’d happily order it again and again. For my main course, I chose the Fauda Taco and the Turkish Wrestler, and I have to say, I’ve eaten at countless restaurants, but the flavors in these tacos were unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. The Fauda Taco, in particular, was pure heaven. Every bite was an explosion of incredible flavors. It’s hard to put into words just how amazing it was!
Overall, I was beyond thrilled with the food—it was creative, bold, and utterly delicious. However, there were a couple of drawbacks. The heating wasn’t working, and on a freezing cold night (14°F outside!), we had to keep our coats on. Additionally, the restrooms seemed to be neglected, likely due to the lack of traditional table service. The sink water was icy, and there was no toilet paper available, which was disappointing.
Despite these minor inconveniences, the exceptional food and reasonable prices make Taco Bamba a spot I’ll definitely return to. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly unique and flavorful taco experience. Just bundle up if you’re visiting on a cold day!
