Taco Bamba

"The team at local taqueria chain Taco Bamba unleashed a line of mezcals, made in collaboration with distilleries in Mexico. Agave lovers can choose between two different bottles available for purchase at the City Ridge location, one from Rey Campero and the other by Cinco Sentidos. It’s a labor of love for chef Victor Albisu and Taco Bamba beverage director Amin Seddiq; for the Rey Campero bottle, they worked directly with maestro mezcalero Vicente Sanchez Parada to create a mezcal with notes of roasted pineapple and light smoke with a citrusy finish." - Adele Chapin

"The 10-acre, mixed-use redevelopment of Fannie Mae’s old headquarters, anchored by D.C.’s first Wegmans grocery store, is also home to Tatte Bakery & Cafe, King Street Oyster Bar, and Taco Bamba’s big D.C. comeback project." - Tierney Plumb

"Taco Bamba, chef Victor Albisu’s popular taco chain with a knack for rock music, offers “Houndgarten” patio pups free red bandanas and water bowls splashed with cute branding. Suit up dogs across its DMW-wide portfolio, which includes its new comeback D.C. digs with a big outdoor component." - Tierney Plumb, Vinciane Ngomsi

"Homegrown taqueria Taco Bamba returns to D.C. proper, bringing its bold brand of Mexican street foods and classic rock playlists to upper Northwest’s City Ridge development. The location features a full bar, a 1,500-square-foot patio, and a rich interior with natural light and brand-specific artwork. The menu offers classic proteins, exclusive creations, and a deep selection of mezcal. Taco Bamba also serves breakfast items all day and offers twice-a-day weekday happy hours." - Travis Mitchell

"Blasting tunes audible from Center Court is the massive Tequila Lounge. Locally celebrated Taco Bamba, run by creative taco architect Victor Albisu, joins forces with Real Azul with tequila samples poured freely in the afternoons." - Evan Caplan
