Bamboo Café

It is a CRIME that this place isn't better known! On the Western side of Antiques Row in Kensington, on Howard Avenue - an industrial street lined with auto repair shops and antique stores lies this lone little eatery run by some absolutely sweet Hispanic ladies who sing in the kitchen and make some absolutely great food! The Bamboo Cafe' is a real blue collar, working class lunch eatery. No pretense. No nonsense. Just a hole in the wall with a solid menu for breakfast, lunch, and early dinner. Don't let the outside fool you. I was fortunate enough to wander in while my tires were being changed down the street. Maybe one of the more fortunate accidents I've ever had. The menu is straight-forward. A mixture of Salvadoran and American foods for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Want br

The food was delicious! One thing to note is that it’s a popular lunch spot so it’s imperative you call ahead.

Bern was awesome! So fun and great atmosphere! He offered us the best service and the drinks were fabulous. Benny the guitarist was fantastic!

Both the service and food were top notch. Despite the restaurant name, they serve Authentic Mexican food. It smelled like my abualitas kitchen when I walked in, so I knew the food was going to taste great - which it did. Both the kitchen and dining area were exceptionally clean and I'd say it's a great place to stop and get some tacos or orchata while you wait for your car to get fixed or once you find out how good it is you'll probably come back anyways. It is a true hole in the wall restaurant that I hope gets the recognition it deserves. 5 stars. 👍

Came to try the tacos - delicious and filling! I’ll be back for sure.
