A while back I tried their tacos al pastor, which was the first time I had eaten it anywhere. I love it so much I rarely order anything else. Recently I did a bit of traveling so I decided to do a tacos al pastor comparison tour. Nothing even came close. If I had tried it at any one of the other restaurants, I would have NEVER eaten it again. LaBamba's freshly grilled pineapple, onions and pork is so delectable that I will only eat it here!!! You should try it! If you can handle the heat, add the sauce, and don't forget the lime!!

Absolutely loved everything about this place! The food was flavorful and fresh — The staff was polite and helpful, and the ambiance was perfect for a relaxed dinner. Will definitely be back soon!

Food was delicious but the flies were annoying. I have noticed flies are a common problem this year in many places I visited.

Service was good, atmosphere was good, but the food wasn't good Mexican food. It was bland at best. If you don't know any better, then you may like it. If you were raised on authentic Mexican food, go elsewhere.

For a small town Mexican restaurant, this is a good place to eat. The portions are quite large, and the food is delicious. The front dining room reminds me of a cheap diner, but the back dining room is a lot better although not fancy. The food and portion size easily make up for the atmosphere. The service was adequate. One of the servers could speak very little English; however, she was singing quietly as she worked near us. She had a beautiful voice. That was a nice addition to our meal.

Food was great in the beginning and has slowly gone down hill. Being open is a slight issue but it's getting better

In town for a week doing some work and went here for one of our meals. Expected the great small town service we got, but pleasantly surprised by the food. I recommend trying it out.

Oberlin native here. I was extremely impressed with the quality of the cuisine. I can’t imagine a better Mexican restaurant in Northwest Kansas.

Hands down The Best Mexican Food in Kansas. Seriously. If you live in Oberlin, (lucky you!) I hope you support this small business. If you are travelling anywhere near here, make sure to visit. Warm, welcoming service. Lively music. Addictive chips and salsa. Authentic, fresh, beautiful and delicious food.

Cozy little restaurant. Really nice waitress. I hate giving a below par review and maybe I ordered a dish they were about out of. I had the steak fajitas and could barely find enough steak to fill 3 small corn tortillas. The steak pieces were really tiny.
So so on the salsa and the queso, wasn't anything to write home about.

I stopped by about 2 months ago on my way back to Hays and I ordered the Chile Colorado and it was fantastic. I’m a bit difficult to impress when it comes to authentic Mexican food and their flavor profiles and cooking textures were on point. I will stop back by later today to try a new dish. Great job??
