Tacos, Tacos, Tacos.... How do I love thee... let me count the ways.... I love you with fajita steak, shredded chicken... al pastor, and with shrimp... Being Mexican, having had an unhealthy share of street tacos in Mexico... I'll tell you that it doesn't matter if you like it or not. This is one of the closest taco spots in the area to hit close. I mean this in the most sincere way possible... If you are wanting tacos from a place where a kid from a Chick-Fil-A store or commercial is taking your order, and all of the food choices are combination of about a dozen ingredients slopped together by someone who seriously thought a GED was "Good Enough" by the company behind Pepsi (cough Taco Bell) then this place isn't for you. I like my steak where the recipe to the chicken, pork, and steak isn't "cut bag open and place in warming bin idiot". All jokes aside this place is pretty legit. It's authentic enough where I'm pretty sure I was the only native English speaking person there, including the customers. But not so authentic that there was a cows head in a pot. This place has twisted my arm for all of my Taco money. While you transparent folk are going after the latest version of the Doritos Locos Tacos that's largely corn and recycled Chinese newspaper I'll be here. read more

The place is so legit. The ladies who make the food remind me of how my tía's would make food, homemade, hot and good. Horchata is great, best in Richardson, Plano and Dallas area. It doesn't have fake flavoring and is not overly sweet. Loved their fresh hot chips with the warm salsa The barbacoa Gordita was so good because the masa was cooked on a comal instead of fried. And loved their bacon and egg tacos and their tamales also had a good amount of meat in them.. this will be a regular visited place of mine now. This place is elite read more

La Bamba Tacos - Chips and Barbacoa Gordita - Tacos Near Me - Plano, Texas

New taqueria tucked away in a strip mall. Got the taco plate with 3 tacos, rice and beans. They have some pretty authentic flavors including the fried intestines, lengua, al pastor. We settled for the fried intestines, beef and potatoes, and barbacoa. We got it in corn tortillas and they were thick! But in a good way and you could yell they were fresh made. Tacos were loaded with meat and rice and beans had lots of flavor. I didn't see any salsa until afterwards when someone brought it back so would suggest more salsa bottles. Also got a horchata and it was probably the best I've had. It was so smooth and didn't have any grainy texture like a lot do. Not sure if they filtered it out but it was so good. Would happily return and try more of the menu! read more

I was in the area and decided to check out this new taco spot. We ordered the taco plate and birria tacos, and I love how they make their tortillas fresh! The birria tacos were some of the best we've had -- crispy, cheesy, and packed with flavor. Definitely coming back for these! The tacos were also solid and paired well with the salsas. read more

I was looking for a new place to try tacos and saw the great reviews. La bomba is a nice and clean restaurant and the young lady who took our order was so kind. The food is well priced and I like that the taco plate comes accompanied by beans and rice. They give you the option of corn or flour which are made in house Fresh -- you can definitely taste the difference when you're eating a fresh tortilla. They provide you with complimentary chips in salsa both were warm and tasty. I ordered the fajita taco plate, the steak would have been better if it was cut in smaller pieces and was a better cut. The rice and beans were very tasty. Overall not bad but not great read more

Really enjoyed La Bamba, and will try again. I *loved* the warm salsa they served with tortilla chips. It was great w the freshly made guac also. Service was really friendly. Tacos were very good- shrimp flavorful, fresh tortillas. Carnitas were my favorite. Birria tacos very flavorful if you like fried. Rice and beans very good. Will definitely return. read more

We went here for authentic Mexican food and it was delicious. The restaurant was clean and plenty of searing. Music played and gave upbeat vibes. The lady who took our order was very kind and friendly. I love the large open are where you can see the cooks prepare the food. read more

You need to try this new taco spot!! I have a feeling before long it will be hard to get a seat in this place. The staff here are so kind and helpful when ordering and bringing out your food! They even let us taste all the frescas which I can say are all amazing you can't go wrong but we decided on the hibiscus and tamarind ones which were perfectly sweet and refreshing. They then brought us complimentary chips hot off the fryer and homemade which were a perfect start. I cannot say enough good things about their tacos though! As a corn tortilla lover myself you can tell they made theirs with love as they were so fluffy and delicious. We ordered Tinga, Al pastor, barbacoa and Calabresa tacos and my favorites were the barbacoa and tinga but you really can't go wrong here!! We finished our meal with a delicious and rich flan which I would reccomend. Great prices, great food and friendly service it doesn't get better than that. We cannot wait to come back and try their pozole soup and Birria tacos soon!! read more

I love trying Mexican taco spots so when I was in Plano I had to check out La Bamba. They initially won me over with having Tripa tacos on the menu so I placed my order. When ordering they ask if you want the Tripas crunchy or soft. Since I don't like them extra crispy I settled on soft. Unfortunately they were too soft. Usually they at least come semi crunchy but these looked very undercooked. I understand it's a tough protein to get right. I will say the salsas were decent and the horchata was actually really good too. Maybe i'll go back and try again. read more

La Bamba Tacos - Half eaten chips. They were so good I almost forgot to take a pic. - Tacos Near Me - Plano, Texas

O M G this place is LEGIT!! The absolute best, authentic tacos. What puts La Bamba over the top is they make the tortillas to order (flour and corn). And with the open kitchen, you see them putting the dough through the press then on the flat top. We've done most protein options in these tacos, all excellent!! Their birria tacos are phenomenal. Chicken tinga super flavorful, al pastor delish, beef fajita also infused with flavor and always lean/high quality. Their taco sauces are super on point, including this peanut flavored one that is different and totally addictive! Even the chips n salsa (for order/sale, not complimentary) is outrageously excellent. Think we've eaten here 5 times now, every experience great. All the stars!!! read more

The best tacos I've had in a long time!! I used to travel to Mexico City a lot for work, and the tacos here are legit. Highly recommend the taco plate since you get to choose 3 tacos (my faves were al pastor, barbacoa, and tinga de pollo), choice of refried beans (black or pinto), and rice all for $10.99. The flavors are incredible plus they included half of a grilled jalapeño and grilled onions on the side and your standard lime, onions, and cilantro. I'm already planning to go back! Also the guac was perfection. And the corn tortillas are homemade?! So delicious. Want to call out that I ordered in English with zero issues plus they have a customer-facing digital screen while ordering so you can read (in English) exactly what is on your order. If it's wrong, that's on you. read more

La Bamba Tacos - Taco plate with 2 al pastor and 1 tinga de pollo tacos, refried pinto beans, and rice. AMAZING - Tacos Near Me - Plano, Texas

My wife and I were really hoping to find this place with great food! Unfortunately what we got was not good! One bite and my wife almost threw up! She said it just tasted off. My chicken taco had a weird texture to it, idk if it was way over done or what, but I couldn't eat it. Honestly the girl who helped us was sweet but neither my wife or I speak Spanish, so it was really hard to communicate with her. The setting was pretty basic, but it seemed nice! We might give it another try, we're just not sure yet! read more

The homemade tortillas and salsas were amongst the best I had ever tasted anywhere from many years of trying taquerias around town. My one complaint is that the pastor meat was chewy and didn't have the typical red marinade. I would definitely go back and get a different kind of meat as everything else was excellent about them.They also give you free chips and salsa while you wait. The salsa that came with the chips was excellent, but I didn't like the chips themselves as they were very thick and kind of hard. Over all, great tacos and that red salsa will have me coming back. read more

My family has tried more items from the menu than I have and they're always happy but I mainly wanted to add a review about how good the shrimp cocktail is. Delicious but also loaded with shrimp. I've never had a shrimp cocktail with that much shrimp. The staff is super friendly and the kitchen is visible to customers the way Chipotle does it. The restaurant is very clean with lots of seating and a few tvs. I've never dined in but it seems like a place I'd hang out in after my meal. read more

Very clean place tucked into the corner of the strip mall. The food served was generous and such good quality. I really hope this humble location takes off. The he sweet ladies working here deserve it. read more

La Bamba Tacos - The Gordita Plate - Tacos Near Me - Plano, Texas

Tried for the first time this week after seeing the good reviews on Yelp. It is hidden in the corner of an old big parking lot, so you could drive by it a hundred times and not notice it, which is a shame because it was soooo good. I'm a vegetarian and usually taco places just slap refried beans on them and call it done. But these guys have a pepper and queso option and the flavor was amazing, one of the best tacos I've ever had. The green sauce was great and my husband tried a chicken taco he said had a great flavor. I'm so glad I found this place, if you haven't definitely check it out. Also, the service was friendly and love supporting a local business. read more

Are here today and we ended up throwing out all our food. The meat was worse than what I would serve to my dog. Dry and tasted spoiled. Horrible service, horrible food would not come back. read more

I'm not sure when La Bamba tacos opened, but it's relatively new and I'm so glad we found it!! Nestled in a shopping center near Parker and Alma, this little place is a gem. Everything is neat and clean inside, and the folks there are very friendly. Lots of good options to choose from, but on Saturdays they have Pozole - and it's amazing! Lots of chicken, not way too much hominy like some places, delightful flavor. So nice and warm on a cold day!! Husband got the pastor tacos, and thought they were very good. There were two hot sauces to go with them, both were spicy and delicious. The corn tortillas are homemade and fantastic, so are the chips. Their salsa was served warm, it was so fresh and satisfying - and I am generally a cold salsa girl!! Looking forward to going back and trying their agua frescas and more menu items. This one is a winner!! read more

First time at this new establishment which opened about January 4. They are located in a shopping center of small businesses with plenty of parking space. It's a casual semi fast food dining/pickup Mexican food restaurant. Good floor plan with the tables. You walk up to the counter and order your food from the above large menu on the wall. Restrooms are clean with soap and paper towels. The customer service is friendly and helpful. You can observe the kitchen food handlers prepare the orders from where you are seated. Mexican music and videos are played on the overhead TVs. The street tacos and super sized burrito was tasty. We will return soon to try the other menu items. read more

Authentic Mexican flavor served with both corn and flour (tortillas de harina) and hand-made tortillas. It's been decades since I last enjoyed a pozole verde, a dish originating in the Mexican state of Guerrero. Everything is delicious and the ladies taking the order or cooking are a pleasure to chat with. I have been here with my wife twice since we discovered the place. Highly recommend. read more

5 stars for service, 5 stars for authenticity with hand made corn tortillas, 5 stars for elote, 5 stars for chips and salsa (fresh house made chips!), 5 stars for the addition of jalapeño, lime, hot sauce etc. for tacos (much better than other taco places), 4 stars for meat (both fajita and lentils was good but seemed to be a bit bland). Can't wait to try other menu items on the near future. read more
