Yessir!

The best walking taco I’ve ever had. Whether you’re going to LaBamba after the bars or for lunch, this place is the best! Don’t even bother with the rest of the places in town! LaBamba is a Kato Classic!

I want to start by saying I love La Bamba, and for a long time I considered it the best Mexican food in Mankato, but they’ve unfortunately changed over the years. I’ve been considering leaving a review for a few years as I’ve noticed things start to shift, and I guess this is that review. There was a time in my life where I would go to La Bamba multiple times a week; I was in college, it was convenient, and it was priced more similarly to Chipotle where it was a no brainer to choose La Bamba. Prices are now more similar to a sit-down restaurant, and the times I go there have dwindled down to once every couple of months. When I do go, I’m met with some inconsistent quality. Sometimes they absolutely nail my order, other times it’s pretty lack-luster. For reference, I order the nachos every time with the same toppings. The most recent time I went, it seemed like they were using store-bought chips when they previously used to make the chips in-house. Maybe this was a fluke. I understand that there might be extenuating circumstances that cause them to resort to something like this, but if that’s the case, I guess I don’t know why I was charged full price for an inferior product. It’s made me consider other eating options in town. If I’m paying the same as I would for a sit-down restaurant, I might as well go to one; if I’m looking for something more fast-casual, Chipotle or Giliberto’s are cheaper options. It seems like the business has grown pretty large and I am happy for their success. Unfortunately, it seems like they’ve lost a bit of their identity in doing so, and it’s turned me off from visiting as often.

Ordered tacos, they said flour or corn tortillas. I said flour they went in the back and said they are out of flour shells on a Friday night. Ordered 3 tacos and a slushy. They forgot the slushy and still charged 5 dollars for a small. The ice was freezer burnt also. The tacos were bland and had no taste. Wish I could rate it 0

Tacos and chimichanga were great. Their hot sauce is actually HOT and good! The mangonadas are great. The guy serving us was friendly and knowledgeable.

It's not like it use to be! Menu is smaller, you get less food and people are not very warm!
