    As a student at Ball State in Muncie, Indiana, a good weekend night of drinking usually ended with a burrito as big as my head. The Muncie location closed more than 10 years ago...could this Labamba's bring back the same feelings from long ago. In short, Yes! It's just like someone turned the clock back. The menu, food and service is just as I remembered it. There's something about a large tortilla thrown onto the flat top smeared with beans and white American cheese slapped onto the beans. Followed by a scoop of steak and some pork mixture smothered in lettuce, tomatoes and hot sauce and rolled to perfection staying on the griddle just long enough to crisp up one side of the burrito. Ah yes...Labamba's! I've read some of the reviews here and if you're expecting top shelf Mexican cuisine, this place isn't for you. But if you want a no frills, delicious large burrito with a unique flavor with lots of spice and heat. Order the Super Combination Burrito - All the way - with hot sauce. And get a bottle of Mexican Coke to finish it off. Until next time Labamba's!

    This place is amazing. The super nachos with chorizo are my favorite. Stopped here before work and it was well worth it. I got the super nachos with horchata. Best thing I've hand in a while.

    Menu and TV. And an always clean grill.

    I ordered a "deluxe" veggie burrito and got a burrito full of rice. Maybe some onions. Do not recommend.

    IF YOU ARE ON A DATE ASK FOR PEDRO!!!!…read more I was on a date at this restaurant and when we asked for a check, instead of just asking if we wanted to split the bill, he positioned himself right behind my date and mouthed me the question so we wouldn't have to split the check. This is the first time a server has not only realized that I was on a date, but actively worked with me to make sure it went as smooth as possible. We paid the bill, left, and I made sure I gave bro a 50% tip. I've worked in restaurants for 2 years now and I've never seen a server as amazing as Pedro. If you're reading this Pedro, just know I will forever be grateful for saving me. oh also the food was really good

    I visited Veronica's for the first time last Wednesday night and now I know what the hype is all…read moreabout! I had been wanting to go for quite some time to try the Birria because I heard it is so amazing, and it really lived up to the Hype! Oh, did I mention they have the viral soft serve margaritas!?!?! I got the strawberry, it was so pretty, excellent presentation and absolutely delicious! I will say it was more like a dessert to me and I would have preferred to have it after my meal instead if before but that's just me. We got there between 6:30 and 7:00 and it was really busy, luckily our friends got there first and grabbed a table. They had already had a round of drinks while waiting on us but it took a while for anyone to come over to greet us or refill their drinks but again it was busy and everyone was helping everyone. We ended up splitting the birria platter and still had plenty of food to take home which we just ate last night as leftovers and were still absolutely fire!! I think the egg roll and quesadillas were my favorite over the tacos bc I love the melty cheese. I also ordered a small side of queso which was surprisingly a little spicy which I really enjoyed. They even surprised us when my BIL ordered a small margarita and it came out in a fish glass (see photo). It was so unexpected but also so cute at the same time ... it's really the little things like this that bring joy, okay? LOL This place was absolutely amazing and I can't wait to try it again.

When we arrived we had a brief wait before we checked in, and were seated on the second level. Our server was excellent, our service was quick and he was always around without hovering. It was bitter cold outside so instead of my usual margarita ($14+) I opted for a beer ($6). We started with the salsa trio, one of my favorites with handmade assorted chips. It includes three salsas, somewhat spicy, sweet tomato and tomatillo - the spicy and sweet were my favorites. Next we ordered the tacos el carbon and carbon burrito - pricing is expensive! We both ordered our steaks medium rare. My tacos had a beautiful presentation, the meat came out on a skewer and smoking from the hot coals. All toppings were repeated on the plate. The steak was overcooked and tough though. Had a nice smoke to it, but very chewy. My husband enjoyed his burrito but wasn't the best he's ever had. They also had a mariachi band walk around but they had "tips" all over their instruments and clothes. Overall we had a nice meal but the price point doesn't equal the food quality.
