What a fun place! We got there in time for happy hour. I tried a traditional mojito and margarita (yum! They make their own mix so it doesn't taste all sweet and sour and fake). I will definitely get the margarita again. The mojito was alright. My friends enjoyed their pomegranate and ginger mojitos as well as the white sangria. We shared a guacamole appetizer with goat cheese and bacon--sounds gross, but Tim, our server, assured us it was delish and he was right. All the plantains and yucca and Manteca to dip it in were a nice change to the traditional corn chip which also came with it. We had the quest fundido as well; this was enjoyed by the table, but not my fave. I like things a little more flavorful.
For dinner, Tim recommended the tacos and shared his favorites with us. I tried the blackened fish (so good and my favorite of the two) and the crispy fish. The latter came out cold and I informed the manager and she replaced it AND took it off the menu. She also suggested some dips for one of my friends that she really liked. The manager also bought two desserts for our table as an apology which she didn't have to do, but was a great service booster. We had the coconut flan which tasted like creme brûlée and the churros (another Tim recommendation that was right on).
The atmosphere was bustling and fun. I would definitely go back. There are many seating arrangements to choose from so you can have many different dining experiences within the restaurant. I look forward to the next time and taking some new friends to introduce them to Bomba.
A friend had the crispy shrimp as one of her tacos and said next time she'd get all three of them as that because it was so good.
