I absolutely love this place. It’s my go-to when I’m in the Albertville area to get food for the family before heading back home. Last few trips have been disappointing though. Went through drive thru. Ordered a couple larger sides of rice and tacos to be done Mexican style, even repeated multiple times not to be done with lettuce and cheese. Only to come home and see that it was made wrong and also the small sizes of rice. Disappointing and not worth going back to get it fixed since don’t live close to the area. Otherwise the food is good there.

This is not Mexican food... this is what white people want to see on Mexican food. The salsa verde on the enchiladas verdes tasted like vinegar... their "cheese sauce" is awful. This is not Mexican food! The service was ok.. the only good thing about this place was the ambience. It had good morning and it did felt like an actual little Mexican restaurant but the food was AWFUL! They sale a Philly steak sandwich......? How is that Mexican?.......

Their food was absolutely delicious!! I was also very surprised with how COZY it was inside since it's a smaller restaurant. The windows definitely make it feel much bigger:)But it was very clean, everyone was super friendly and the service was outstanding! We will definitely be back!

A very small but delicious outfit that is prepped for quick service with good food. The chips/salsa are often reviewed as overpriced and undersized, but I didn't think the bag was small for what I got inside. #14 was divine.

This fun colored fast food style service this establishment has a wonderful and friendly staff with are very fast serving time. Now to get to the actual meal I ordered a couple of there most popular items as well as there queso or there "cheese sauce" I was immediately disappointed by the queso being at a cold temperature although the taste wasn't as bad as you may think as white queso goes it was about a 6.3/10 now it is quite surprising that they served that as there main and only there queso. Another thing I noticed was the extremely small amount of chips that comes with the meal but I do understand why they would do that with the style of restaurant. As for the actual food I got the chicken quesadillas, le bamba burrito as well as the le bamba fajitas. The chicken quesadillas were about a 6.2/10 on the scale with a creamy inside but not a very large size to it. The chips themselves were your average tortilla chip but I do think it pairs with the queso quite nicely. As for the burrito which I got in steak and chicken options and I found that although it's extremely hard to eat without a fork I do think it is a 5.6/10 on the scale as the rice was well cooked but the beans where not the best it still was not very bad for how fast it was prepared. On the other hand I did find the fajitas to have a very light taste to them but the beans were still subpar so it lands a 6.2/10 on the scale. In light of all this I give the establishment a total score of 6.6/10

good Hassam

Foods good but they make it so fast if u call it in its cooked b4 u get into your car. So i just wait the 3 min it takes too cook everything us prepped too cook fast AF. Only other problem is they charge $3.99 for a 20oz bottle of coke- not even the mexican coke, borderline robbery.

Great food! I live in South Texas and came to visit my daughter in MN. The tacos were definitely comparable to the tacos in the Rio Grande Valley!

I really enjoyed my ground beef chimichanga, rice, beans, chips and salsa and my wife also enjoyed her food. I ordered guac and the container was small and it was a bit watery. We got take out and the vast majority of the food was very good! We will definitely be back!
