We enjoyed a late afternoon lunch with friends. I had a medium margarita which was way too large for me. It was good but I had to stay awhile to finish it. I had enchiladas that were very tasty and the birilla tacos were delicious. Very nice ambience in the restaurant and the wait staff were very good.

Nice presentation with all the food and drinks. Also very tasty. Great staff and service. They were very attentive and courteous. Nice atmosphere with good music.

Really good Mexican food! We're from LA, and this was very good especially for Minnesota where it's impossible to find good Mexican food. Definitely hit the spot. The workers were super nice and helpful. The Queso Fundidio was really good as an appetizer with the homemade chorizo. We'll be coming back again!

Takes both cash and credit card. Parking is limited as the lot tends to get full quickly. Luckily, you can park at the businesses next door. We came here on a Saturday and the place was pretty busy. We had to put ourselves on the waitlist which went by fairly quickly. Waited about 5minute which was fairly good. Their menu is fairly large and can be overwhelming. Many of their dishes are priced reasonably. However, it's tough to figure out what to order given their multi-layer menu. Upon getting our table, it took the server about 10minutes to provide us with the complimentary chips and salsa. The chips were fried crispy, but the salsa appeared to be very runny. They have tons of beverages from non-alcohol to a wide variety of alcoholic drinks. We ordered the supreme fajita quesadilla and Jalisco Special. The Jalisco contained rib eye steak with marinated chicken and sides for $11.99. For the price, it's fairly cheap. However, the steak lacked any flavor and the chicken was a bit dry. Also, it advertised that slices of avocado were with the dish. However, we did not notice it on there. Although it was quite a bit of food, I think it lacked seasoning which made the experience questionable. The supreme fajita quesadilla was very hearty. It's very salty which made it a bit of a challenge for finish the dish. The servers were hit and miss throughout our meal. They tend to let you enjoy the meal. However, it took them a while to ask our party whether we wanted refills. This place tends to get very crowded and that's when you get less attention from staff. The interior decoration of the restaurant is nice as it has tons of character with all the neat decoration. However, management needs to focus more on quality control on their foods and improve customer server throughout the meal. In all, the meal was okay. However, there is areas for improvement. Good place for large gatherings, but make sure you get your name on the waitlist.

Stopped in for lunch. Everything we had was really good. Medium margarita was huge which I loved! Large portion size and the servers were super friendly , I will definitely be back to try more dishes from them.

Standard Mexican restaurant. They won't blow you away with their food and service but it'll fill a craving for Mexican food. I'd go back.

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

Food- amazing. The chips were great, salsa great, queso…read moredip yummy. We all got some burritos, which i tried most of them. Each one delicious. I'm really trying to be fair, as the service shouldn't bring this to a 1 star, because there were highlights. Secondly, I've been told a lot of good things about this place and feel we may have had a one off. The parking lot was pretty open but i couldn't really tell there were parking spaces up front. The interior is very comfortable and nice looking. However, our visit had a sour taste when it came to our service. It was roughly 630-7 on a Saturday night. There were 4 other tables in our section. The greeter was very pleasant and welcoming. Then we got this guy who changed the whole mood. Not seeming to want to be there or not wanting to help us.. possibly both. He took our order and was nice about it. But that's where the good service ended. He checked with us to see if we were ready to order within 5-10 minutes. However, we were waiting on the last of our party. We did order drinks and queso, which came to us. Our last of our party arrived, where we waited like 15 more minutes before he finally came back to see if we were ready to order. She ordered a drink, which he went to go get, rather than taking our orders. By this point 3 other drinks were empty and he did not check to see if we needed refills. We advised while ordering our food we needed more drinks, which he brought. I believe he didn't come back until they brought our food out. Then he never came back again. Our Last person never got a one refill of her drink and the rest of us did not get another refill as we we're all ready to go at this point. He actually never came back to our table, and had one of the hostess or another waitress come to us to see if we were good. This girl was much better and attentive, unfortunately we were on the way out.

When we got here, no one else was in there. Others did arrive, though. The food was GREAT. This was…read morethe first mole I've really enjoyed in years. Staff was attentive and professional. I don't know if I'll pass through Mankato again, but if I do, I know where I'm eating!
