    Inside the establishment.

    The food here is good. Parking can be an issue late in the evening. There is a big menu. The service was good. The inside of the facility was great. We may stop here again when in the area.

    Yum! Breakfast was amazing!! So good. My husband said his pork chops were the best he's had in a while. My rancheros were amazing too. Nice waitress and service. I would recommend

    Al pastor tacos

    Al pastor tacos were so delicious ! I'm not sure about the tripe soup , you have to already like tripe to enjoy muendo. Anyways , service was amazing but the rice was a little weird if you're a texture person like me . Overall 4/5 stars I enjoyed my meal and service and drinks . I recommend coming to any Carmella's near you!

    The receipt minus my meal they comped after asking what would make me happy. I just want to feel appreciated for giving my business :(

    Today when going in for lunch after seated and brought drinks and a small queso our waiter took our order, only when it came out he brought me the wrong thing. So when I told him what I wanted he brought me the wrong thing a second time. So by the time I finally got what I wanted (maybe 15-20 minutes later) my mom and dad were done eating their meals. This is not that bad, but the 1 star is for how management continues to run this restaurant because instead of coming to apologize for what took place I was questioned, not once, but twice by husband and wife managers as to what happened. It made me feel as though I was in the wrong, and not the first time this has happened. I really wish I felt appreciated here, but I don't. The food is normally decent, but we've been treated as an inconvenience so many times here, it's so sad and I don't understand it.

    This is one of my frequent Mexican food places in Beaumont! The food is pretty good, the staff is super polite and helpful, service is phenomenal and the drinks are AMAZING! We try to make it at least once a week!

    Went tonight before 6pm for a belated BD dinner and out of all the joints in town I pick this place (drove in from Galveston too) Had the pleasure of server, Monica...NOT; she was the worst. Took just short of 5 minutes to be acknowledged (too long in my book) and then after we were acknowledged and got our .99 cent margarita( tasty but weak) she disappeared, and by that I mean...waited on all other tables but ours. When our party of 4 was complete...(about 615pm) as soon as the 3rd and 4th person sat down she cane to table and asked, "do you know what you want?" Umm, can they open a menu first? So, this chicks timing was all off. At that point we did order appetizers (queso and guacamole) and more margaritas (oh! But, let me say...the guacamole needs some attention...should be ashamed serving a smashed avocado with no spices or ingredients) After appys were delivered, it took 15 minutes before she checked on us again. She was around too..waiting on the booths along the wall but never looking our way so that we could order our entrees. 20 minutes in of eating appys...she asked if we were ready to order? We did. Food out in 10 minutes. We got the el torrito and the camal...it was good. Refried beans were too salty though so no one touched theres. Now, another 20 minutes go by and as we watch Monica wait on all those booth customers, she never acknowledges us. (she's just soo close but yet...so far) We never got refills on water or coke. We never got asked if we needed anything? Soo, at the 25 minute mark I follow her to the back and tell her I'd like a to go container and the check; she brings it to us, says nada and leaves. I mean, rude much? Monica you 90% ruined my experience; 10% was the food. But, being the decent people that we are we STILL TIPPED ms indifferent 25%...she truly did not deserve it though. PS--while checking out at register we noticed and bought a "worlds finest" chocolate bar...(obviously someone there has a fund raiser and was using the register as a selling spot) they charged us $1.50 but, the wrapper on bar said $1.00...sooo, what's that about? Food wasn't good enough to return. Service sealed the deal. No mas Carmela. You and Monica can have it. Adios'

    Enchiladas al Comal
    Greg J.

    Classic old school Tex-Mex from the decor to the menu. Service was friendly and efficient without being rushed. We ordered an appetizer of potato slices with bacon, jalapeños and sour cream. It was a great start...delicious. The chips and salsa were excellent also. I then ordered the Enchiladas al Comal. Two enchiladas stuffed with fajita beef and onions, covered with queso with rice and a side of beans. Everything was delicious. Even during this time of Covid19 and a hurricane affecting the area just two days ago (and most of the area without power), this was exceptional.

Coming from Houston, my expectations were kind of high, but Tacos La Bamba greatly exceeded expectations! 10/10 would recommend! I don't come to Beaumont often so I knew I wanted to support a local spot for lunch. Tacos were on my mind so this was an easy choice based on other's reviews. I ended up trying all 5 of their meats on tacos. They had beef asada, pork carnitas, al pastor, barbacoa, and chicken. Corn tortillas are a must for me and cilantro/onions are a necessity. What was surprising was also their red/green salsas. Both made in house, the green was a little spicy and fresh, while the red was smoky and complex. Then to wash it all down, I had their refreshing horchata as well. Tacos La Bamba seems like a Beaumont staple. They had a good lunch crowd with quick service. The interior is very colorful with a beautifully painted "Dia de los Muertos" animal theme. I will 100% come back whenever I'm in Beaumont again, cheers! PS. They have a little outdoor patio area too if the weather is nice.
