This is more of a 3.5 star rating but there were a few cons that really kind of weighed big on this rating.
I've heard a lot of hype behind Bomb Tacos. My office is in DTLV and they just opened their second location and people have been raving. Since this location is by my house, we figured we should check it out.
The service here is great. The people were very kind and were very patient with us because we were definitely trying to order the whole menu.
There were two items that really stood out - the fish tacos and the shrimp diablos! Like those two items alone were phenomenal and I would definitely be back for those! The fish tacos were probably the best fish tacos I have had in LV. The fish is battered perfectly and literally did not require any salsa. Same for the shrimp tacos. They were spicy but also so very good.
Now... I really wanted to love the potato taco but I was really not impressed with it. There was not much flavor and it was just not what I was looking for to fulfill my craving. I also felt this with the fried beef taco. Serious lack of flavor and pretty pricey. We also got carne asada and pastor tacos - both - meh. Also not impressed and the meat seemed either a little old or a little dry. I guess it was either a bad day or a little overpriced. I totally don't mind paying the premium if it's going to be BOMB - but we just didn't experience that.
Lastly, we ordered al pastor fries. Geez - when we were looking at them, we were SOOO hyped! Like YES, this is going to be amazing aaaaaand the fries were old. Legit dried inside. And we are fries people. It looked so great but the fries were legitimately dry! It was so sad! Great to photograph but we probably ate less than a quarter of it before throwing it away. Sad face for wasting food!
Honestly - I will probably be back for the fish and shrimp tacos but that's about it. Those were bomb for sure, however, the other things, I probably won't be back for. Maybe I'll give the fries another shot one day but I'm still pretty heartbroken over the dryness.
