Bomba is located at 19880 Detroit Road in Rocky River, Ohio. They specialize in Tacos, Guacamole, and Rum. They also have Tortas (Sandwiches), Salads, a couple entrees, shareable appetizers, and desert. The menu is primarily a la carte selection of tacos and sides.
Today 3 of us went to lunch. Our combined meals included six tacos, one order of guacamole and chips, queso fundito, and a side of yucca frittes, and two iced teas. All of us walked away full and the total bill was only $46.
The tacos are $3 or $4 each depending on what type you get. There are 18 types of tacos to choose from. Today we tried one of each of the following;
CRISPY FISH
jicama, mango, jalapeno remoulade
RIO STYLE CHICKEN
caramelized onions, poblano peppers, peanuts, cilantro aioli
BEEF PICADILLO
pico de gallo, chihuahua cheese, olives, key lime sour cream
SMOKED BRISKET
pickled onion, aji verde
LAMB BARBACOA
radish, tomatillo salsa, key lime sour cream
SLOW BRAISED DUCK
pickled onion & pineapple slaw, aji verde sauce
All of the tacos were delicious with well composed flavor combinations. They were all a little sloppy to eat but that is expected with tacos.
We also enjoyed an order of the house made traditional guacamole with tortilla, malanga, yucca, and plantain chips, and an order of queso fundito. The queso fundito was served with soft tortillas. I feel it would have been better served with chips of some sort.
The atmosphere at Bomba is fun and casual. I can see it being a really hopping place on a Friday or Saturday night. It would also be a great place for after work meet ups with friend or coworkers.
I cannot recommend this place enough. Go check it out.
