What People Are Saying About Bombers Burrito Bar

The Editor

In Short – College kids in Birkenstocks mill around as the staff prepares food for a never-ending line of customers. While they wait, patrons lounge in a beat-up barber chair, survey the chalkboard menus or chase the ghosts in Ms. Pac-Man. Hefty tacos start under $2, so it's possible to eat like royalty for under five bucks. Catering to the vegan crowd as well as meat eaters, Bombers offers up barbecued tofu, tofu fries and vegetarian chili.

Amazing Burritos and even better wings

by csatennis at Citysearch

We go there constantly. I love their huge burritos, especially the bbq pork And while they are best known for burritos, their flavored wings are very reasonable and taste wonderful. I like the garlic ones the best.

And there is no better place to go on your birthday, where they give you an enormous Margaritta that is big enough for for people for free.

The best place to sit is upstairs by the window overlooking Lark Street. If you don't want waitress service then downstairs may do, but it is kind of dark an dingy there

The service is pleasant and efficient and I think anyone visiting Albany should go there at least once.

  • Pros: great food, great atmsophere
  • Cons: NONE

Not the cleanest place

by B Mac at Citysearch

It seems a good idea has given way to a place that now relies on it's "History". The tables are filthy, and that makes me wonder about the kitchen, out of view. The employees seem more worried about tips than actual work performance. My burrito was cold to boot. The Schenectady location is better, great upstairs. However, the Lark St. version is just a dirty mess......

  • Pros: Hearty Burrito's
  • Cons: Dirty tables, Unkempt looking workers

It's great! As long as you're drinking...

by Monkeybrain81 at Citysearch

I used to fancy Bomber's much more than I do today. If you are looking for expensive and overly sweet drinks in a loud environment, then this is your place. But if you are looking for a burrito with rice that is cooked all the way through and cheese that may actually be melted...then this is not for you. Have some of the drinks first and you will not notice, but if you want a burrito that is good when you are sober, head to Burrito Joe's on Columbia Street (Just off of Pearl). You will not be disappointed.

  • Pros: Fast food (if you don't order Veggie Chicken Nugget burrito), large drinks.
  • Cons: poor service, undercooked, over-hyped food.
