| - After many people told us that they loved Bomba, we finally tried it out. Well, I guess it is good to have tried it so we won't wonder about it anymore. We were very disappointed. It seems that you are not allowed to make any changes to what Bomba has created. For example, we wanted either a side of queso or queso on the chips, but that was not an option. We got chips with salsa which was fine. The salt was inconsistently applied, and the salsa was a little bland. The menu and the server tell you that 3-4 tacos are needed to fill you up. Two, if they tasted adequate, would be plenty. My husband order chorizo & potato, Rio Style Chicken, and Braised Beef. The only one that he thought was alright was Chorizo & Potato. The others bland. I got the Chipotle Mushroom, Spicy Cauliflower Taco, and Blackened Fish. I liked the Blackened Fish other than the pool of liquid that came streaming out of it. The Mushroom taco was so bland that I don't know how they could have ruined a mushroom. I love cauliflower, but Bomba found a way to make me really dislike the Spicy Cauliflower taco. The level of spice was fine, but the flavor was just weird.
The server was a little intrusive, but otherwise she was ok. The atmosphere was nice, but the booth was uncomfortable to sit in. It troubled me that I overheard people at another table trying to order a taco with chicken, cheese, and salsa. After some discussion/pushback from the server, the customer received the tacos as requested, but the cheese and salsa were in separate containers. There was so little cheese that she needed to request more. While I understand that a chef may have a point of view of flavor profiles, I find it troubling that there is little bend on prescribed menu options.
