Great, now you can get tacos AND Fried Chicken while renewing your license. I love calling NC Home!

They have some interesting sounding vegetarian options on their current location menus - if they bring at least a few of those here I'll be giving the restaurant a try for sure!

Plus, you'd be required to have your tacos registered and inspected prior to consumption...

(yes...I know what DMV stands for in this context don't @ me)
DMV - District (of Columbia), Maryland & Virginia. Replaced NoVa (northern Virginia) some time ago.

As near-native DMVer now here, Taco Bamba is a very good place. Essentially all take out so no restaurant waits. Great food...and that is from someone who is not fond of Mexican/Latin food.

I did not know that. I sure hope they do a better job than Shake Shack. I was so excited because of all the "DMV" buzz, only to eat a $30 sub-par chain-burger. Never again to the shake-shack.

Generally speaking, my favorite tacos are the ones that speak very little English, and serve meat, cilantro and onion, with a "fixin' bar" for the rest. Not to be negative, but I don't see myself trying them. Maybe....

Shake Shack was definitely a letdown. They originated in NYC though. Incidentally my first (excited!) time trying Shake Shack was on a trip to the DC area. Found the burgers overly greasy and under-flavored and the fries just OK. Have been a couple times since they opened the one in Cary and still the same. Not "Bad" per-se....but underwhelming considering the hype.

I still look forward to trying Taco Bamba though. I love a good taco place though and won't hold geographic-origins against any chain! That beings said; if the West Coast's beloved In-N-Out ever makes it over here....I've already been underwhelmed by them when visiting CA too. Their fries leave....a lot to be desired.
