What's better than a burrito with cheese? One BATHED in cheese. A beast birthed at La Bamba, this behemoth means business and bueno flavor.------Chorizo Wet Burrito -- with all they had for fillings, topped with Cheese SauceCarne Asada Fries -- topped with Steak, Southwest Queso, Cilantro, Queso Fresco, Pico De Gallo, & Avocado SauceFrom La Bamba Mexican Taco House on Front Street ------My order was the wrap, and it slapped! To be eaten with a fork and not the fingers the queso was a glue from the Gods, adding excellent texture and flavor to the rice, salsa, and all the stuffings. Spicy and authentic chorizo sausage was the perfect protein to pull it all together, not to mention a terrific tortilla that would trump anything from a grocery store. Filling and fantastic, this one's for those who find dairy extraordinary As for the fries, my friend was not disappointed. With a similar queso to the burrito, steak, salsa, AND avocado sauce atop crispy fries, this selection is an indulgent feast of French fry fusion La Bamba is nothing short of da bomb. My only complaint is the NUMEROUS options... guess I have to go back to try somethin' else. Oh well... ;)Grateful to Quinn for the suggestion! Also thank you Jay and Kidus for going with to see how this Mexican place measures up

My favorite go to spot for street tacos in kato! Definitely recommend this place and the customer service is great! The inside is clean and due to covid no one really eats inside but they have outside patio also!

I must have done something right last year, because this year not one but two new taquerias have opened in Mankato. La Bamba is the newer of the two, so of course they must be compared. Having tried both I think Vero's might taste just a little better, and cost just a bit less, but La Bamba's amazing location and hours put them on top of the contest.The restaurant itself looks great. There's a clear flow to the room, fantastic decor, and every table has bottles of both green and red salsa and they both have great flavor and spice. The tacos are amazing, the burrito was okayish. Honestly, just stick with the tacos and you won't go wrong.Coming down from Saint Peter La Bamba's location is a much easier drive, so while both of Mankato's new taquerias are worth checking out La Bamba will be seeing plenty of me.

Great food. Poor customer service. Generally this is a great place to get your taco/burrito fix, though don't expect a warm welcome. I ordered the barbacoa burrito but when I walked in the store the person behind the counter just had a silent staring contest with me, as if he was trying to assert his dominance. I broke the silence after a few minutes by asking, "Are you ready to take my order?" After I told him my order he must not have listened or understood because he immediately asked what meat I wanted right after I said barbacoa. We then paused and had another staring contest until I asked if I could add some sour cream and cheese to my burrito. He almost seemed offended I would make such a request. I couldn't wait to dash out of there honestly. Maybe he was having a bad day. Maybe he hated his job. Either way, it wasn't a pleasant experience, but at least I was able to enjoy the burrito at home.

By far the best food we had in Mankato (not that this is saying much). Everywhere else seems to be mostly bar food so this was a welcome change. I got tacos with chips and salsa and an horchata. Everything was very good and my friends enjoyed their meals too.

I ordered a steak burrito to-go and had already eaten over half when I bit something hard. When I spit it out I realized it was a nasty finger nail! I called to report to manager and he offered to replace my burrito. I told him I am too disgusted to ever eat there again. I am so disappointed because I was really enjoying my burrito. I am officially traumatized.

cute little place!! I have definitely had better tacos but I would come back here again. The rice was seasoned just right. The chicken in the tacos was dry and not too flavorful. There was one guy running the place, taking the orders and cash register but he was really fast and was nice. They have outdoor seating for decent weather
