Restaurant Nights

Today! Wednesday, October 23, 2024. 

Help us raise funds for the PTA by dining at Taco Bamba (2415 Centreville Rd, Herndon). Taco Bamba is a wildly popular chain of taquerias that has developed a cult following for its counter-culture brand. Explore the menu with creative versions of traditional tacos plus ceviches, empanadas, quesadillas, tortas, and more.

Dine with Taco Bamba on Wednesday, October 23 and 20% of all mobile, dine-in, and drive-thru sales will be donated to Herndon Middle School PTA!

Don’t forget to use the online "Coupon" Code: GIVE20 or mention HMS PTA when you order in person.
