Nice downtown storefront location. Nice decor. Very friendly staff. Based on other reviews,…read moreeveryone seems to love this place and I understand why now. There are many comments about the pork burrito smothered with white sauce. I must have ordered the wrong thing, because mine was smothered the green tomatillo sauce that's often served on pork. No problem though, because it was delicious. The only problem was that there was sauce all over most of the rice and beans. Almost burying the thing that impressed me the most: The BEANS! In a world where you have been conditioned to just push your rice into your beans and eat them alongside the entrée, these beans are amazing. A little smoke. A gentle heat on the back of your tongue. I took an order home and after reheating, they make an outstanding dip on tortilla chips.

This place is fairly new, I believe a Chinese restaurant used to be here... They had a buffet on offer, but most of the options were entrees not of my personal liking, so I decided to order off the menu. I was very pleased with my meal. You do get a basket of chips (plenty for one) and a salsa that wasn't too thin, nor was it too thick. The food was plated nicely and the portions were very generous. The enchiladas rojas had a ton of chicken and was nicely seasoned. Lots of sour cream and cilantro to help balance out the flavors. Actual pinto beans were served too. Definitely worth getting off 169 if you're driving between the cities and Mankato.

Love the murals on the walls celebrating the Minnesotan culture and icons. The service is always great, and the servers always have a good menu recommendation if you're unsure what to get. The bar has delicious drinks and their Jamaica juice is so refreshing on a hot summer day. Happy hour is a nice discount on some favorite items. I will say anything with shredded chicken isn't my favorite (not enough seasoning on the chicken for my taste) but everything else we've tried is a hit! We always start off with the chips and salsa flight and add cheese sauce - it's NOT a queso, there's no peppers or spice. The creamy green sauce is our favorite salsa they make, it's delicious on everything. The torta is a great choice if you're unsure what to get, the pineapple bowl is awesome if you're trying to share with others. Tacos and burritos are always a hit - I love the crunch of the pork belly and the flavor of the al pastor, taco toppings are onion and cilantro unless you get the loaded taco with slaw. The burrito could probably feed two people with an appetizer. It's a little higher priced than your typical plate of tacos but the quality of the food is always top notch, the kitchen is open and clean, and I've never left hungry or without leftovers. I will note - if you're looking for "traditional" Mexican food this probably isn't the spot you're looking for. It's still delicious just slightly different than what you'd get at your typical taqueria.

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.

Excellent service -- greeted upon entry and our questions were answered quickly and thoroughly. The food is incredible! Tacos are full with meat, not light in portions. The asada (steak) was excellent and juicy. The carnitas were tender. The lengua is well cooked and absolutely my favorite! The menudo was excellent-- the tripe practically melted in my mouth and had no gaminess! So we ordered 2 more! The caldo de res was good, the meat was tender and was tender to the bite. Corn, green beans, and zucchini were all drenched in the broth and were also amazing! The interior is warm and welcoming with colorful flags across the width of the dining room.
