Bomberos is a cool little spot, no doubt about it. Its like Postino's sexy Latin cousin.
But unfortunately that means that you can't help to compare to Postino. In that aspect it falls short. The menu isn't as good....you only get a choice of 3 types of brushetta with the plate and there are less options to choose from. (And its not nearly as hearty). The veggie panini I had was ok but it comes with chips which can't be substituted....which brings me to my next point. They don't offer salads. If you're a vegan and you go here the veggie sandwich (hold the cheese please) is all you can order. I'm not a vegan, but I'm just saying. The no salads thing kinda does suck though.
The wine list is short but interesting. Our server suggested a fantastic white that was everything I requested in a wine.
The patio is lovely. However, when we were leaving there was this awful loud live music going on. We originally tried to sit on the patio but the table that the server tried to seat 4 of us at was really only meant for 3. When she couldn't find a 4th chair she suggested that one of us sit on a half log- half bench thing. I wasn't in the mood to get splinters in my ass so I asked if we could be moved inside. The inside is kind of spartan....I feel like they could have an extra table in there or something. There is a great large round table that seats 8 which is a great option for a large group. I think they have wifi as I saw some ASU folk doing some grading while we were there....and they have one large TV which was showing the basketball game.
All in all it was a 3.5 experience but I'm pulling it down to a 3 because there was nothing that was simply outstanding. I would definitely return but if I was given my choice of wine bars in the Valley, this would not be the one I choose....I would definitely choose Cheuvront or Postino over Bomberos.
