The place is decorated with beautiful artwork including hand painted chairs and tables. Our server was expedient as was the food service. We were greeted with chips and salsa and I'd give the salsa a gold star for a mild/medium flavor. Pro tip to ask for spicy salsa as well as we added that to spice it up! My husband had the chicken enchiladas with red sauce and they were good but it helped to add some of the spicy salsa for more flavor. The chicken quesadilla was huge and so good. Perfectly stuffed with cheese and chicken and accompanied by refried beans and rice. And my kiddo had the smaller child version which was great. They have a full bar but as we were amid our long drive we opted for Mexican coke and Jarritos but their margaritas looked yummy!

Tremendous food at a very reasonable price. Well made, and courteously delivered. Highly recommend!…read moreWill almost certainly eat here again the next time I'm hungry near Saint James. Also, very clean. Eating here is a real pleasure!

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!

The quality of the food was a plesent surprise, and made it stand out amongst the crowded field of Mexican restaurants in the Mankato area. Most of the time the rice and beans are just there to fill the plate, but these had real flavor and texture. I was blown away by the ground beef in the chimichanga, it was filled with spices that mad me want to ask fro the recipe. Service was good, and drinks were kept full.
