This taqueria is in a larger plaza with lots of lot parking around. The restaurant itself is pretty spacious. The ambiance is standard for a family run taqueria. Pretty casual, kinda diner-y. You order at the counter and seat yourself. We ordered a torta with adobada (marinated pork) and carne asada tacos. The food came out pretty fast. And was super delicious. The torta was super juicy and thick. The adobada was well seasoned and delicious. The torta itself comes with lettuce, tomato, pickled jalapeños, and avocados. Super yummy and on par with tortas I've had in Mexico, especially with it being less than $10. The carne asada tacos were also fire. Super juicy and flavorful. Might be a little too oily for some, but I loved it. The food also came with a tray of a variety of salsas which were delicious. Overall would definitely come back. read more

Taqueria La Bamba - Torta with adobada - Mexican Near Me - Mount Vernon, Washington

Was charged 5 dollars for a coke. A little over $20 for 4 street tacos and a coke.. Tacos were mid

Delicious. Some of the best Birria tacos I've had in WA. Messy to dunk the whole taco in the consommé but definitely worth it. Cabeza tacos also delicious. Salsa on side medium hot and tasty on the tacos. More affordable than anything similar down in Seattle area. The 3 Birria Taco plate includes the consommé and would have been enough by itself for a meal but I also love Cabeza tacos and couldn't resist. read more

Taqueria La Bamba - Birria Taco Plate plus 2 Cabeza Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Mount Vernon, Washington

Enjoyed the birria tacos and was sooooo happy they offer their tacos on flour tortilla if you don't like corn! Well done! I also appreciate how they have refried beans not just whole pinto beans or black beans. One drawback is that the birria meat did have a few pieces of fat, and hard parts of the beef that I had to spit out, that's why not 5 stars. If they could be more careful about that, the tacos would have been perfect. However, I'd go back for their tacos. They're a new favorite of mine! Service was nice too! read more

I only had the torta de asada but it was SOOO good and extremely authentic. They have beets and even brought out a little tray of 4 different hot sauces. Highly highly recommend checking out. Fairly priced as well. read more

Great rice pudding and great quesadillas reasonably priced great staff would recommend to anyone that wants great Mexican food

Overpriced for quality of food, won't be going back. Wait time was very long due to take out orders. Tables and chairs were not clean.

This is a family owned business, the menu covers everything you want in Mexican food... The prices are good, the food tastes fresh and has an old school flair.. There is no table service, and a ton of construction people are here for lunch, so that says volumes. I will definitely be back again read more

OMG! For years I have been searching for real, authentic Mexican food in Western Washington! This IS the place! The food is fabulous and the service is outstanding. I had two amazing Carnitas street tacos for less than seven dollars! read more

Taqueria La Bamba - Carnitas tacos - Mexican Near Me - Mount Vernon, Washington

This is the real deal. In the apex of soft tacos. Best order here imnsho is five carnitas taco slathered in their pickled habanero salsa. Radishes and a grilled pepper. Superbe. Fresh. Tasty. The entrees are also great but are simply too huge to finish and its not the sort of food that travels well. Stick with the tacos or maybe sweet talk them into building you some sort of combo platter. read more

Zero flavor. The ceviche was just tomatoes, onion, some chopped shrimp and a little cilantro. I paid essentially for tomatoes, and one tostada. The shrimp dish was more garlic than anything... plenty of shrimp but it had zero flavor- almost as if it had been steamed. Tell me, how does a Mexican restaurant mess up refried beans?! These had zero flavor almost no salt the only flavor was the cotija cheese on top. What a waste of my money! read more

This place is located at the corner of Riverside Dr. and Pacific Pl. There are also many other Mexican restaurants nearby. However, this place offers the most authentic, un-Americanized Mexican food in Mt. Vernon for the lowest price. As you enter, there's a large menu displayed on the wall behind the cashier. You order your own food at the front but they will bring it out to you. I tried the Birria and some carne asada tacos. Chips and salsa are three dollars extra. The tacos tasted as expected. The Birria only had beef and nothing else in the stew. It looked quite different from the menu picture. However, overall, the food were all satisfying. read more

We have been here before and we like their Menudo. We wanted that today but they ran out. So I order a caldo de Res and my husband order a shrimp cocktail and a asada huarache. We came with a couple people and everyone order separately but we sat together. All our friends got their food and by the time I got my caldo they where all halfway done. My husbands Shrimp cocktail was so bad he said it tasted like water and Clamato juice. We never got the asada huarache, so my cousin went to let the girl in the register but we still didn't get it so we where done eating and I told her to cancel the huarache. The girl has the worst customer service. So disappointed if everything today. We will think twice before going back. Oh and before I forget everyone's tortillas where so hard, like if they have them made and save and then just re-heat. Really bad. read more

The food at this place is mediocre at best. We ordered a torta and burrito, there was no mayo on the torta and the burrito wasn't even wrapped. Also, the meat was overcooked.. the service was good but it was a long wait (+25 min) for our food on a Friday night. The food is very greasy so be prepared, it might upset your stomach. Overall, I'd recommend going elsewhere. read more

First time eating here! Was delicious!!! Very friendly staff! I had 2 tacos combo plate one chicken & one carnitas. Very generous with the meat & toppings! My sister got the Huarache with shredded beef, it was also amazing! We were so hungry I forgot to take pictures sorry! Must try! read more

Stopped in after visiting the tulip festival. The food was fresh and delicious. We had a steak quesadilla and chicken sope. The fresca punch was delicious! Highly recommend, will visit again! Sopes read more

After reading all the great reviews I expected a lot better but was very disappointed. The Carne asada torta was a giant mess and the meat was just extremely overcooked and almost burnt. It didn't have much flavor and I had to rely on salsas and sour cream to get me through the meal. A lot of my friends at the table were vegetarian and their lunches were nightmares. Mexican restaurants usually have great veg food but I'm not sure why these guy's don't. All their veg dishes were basically cheese, rice and flavorless beans. I don't think I'd go back here again. The food is just not worth it. read more

I was greeted by a very friendly staff who enthusiastically took my order and brought it out to my table. I had a very authentic chicken burrito and watermelon/lime juice. It was served with a triage of sauces that left my mouth sizzling! Great restaurant if you want authentic Mexican food. That I was the only gringo in the joint says it all! read more

You can immediately tell this place is super good. I got the Birria tacos because it was the special. I want to try some other flavors and then maybe will have a higher rating. Would come back. read more

I went to this restaurant to pick up an order for delivery and I was treated horribly. I was ignored and when I asked how long my wait was the girl was very snooty and put it together very slowly. I ended up being 10 minutes late to drop off the food, I wouldn't recommend for delivery drivers. I don't know the quality of the food only the service. read more

Carne Asada was good but I literally sat for over twenty minutes for extremely over priced Mexican food. Who the heck calls an open face tortilla wrap style a burrito. Messy and hard to eat. Five fifty for a side of rice and beans! How are the prices more expensive than any taco truck in Seattle and just not as complete as a meal. Was real unimpressed. Don't know what others see in this joint. read more

Good food and service. I had Camarones a la Diabla after a long time and it was tasty!

By far the best Mexican food in skagit county. Great food, very clean, fast and friendly. I only wish they served chips and salsa but then again it just leaves more room for tacos. Even my 85 year old Mom who is super picky raves about the food here. She's telling all her friends at the senior living place she lives about them. I live in Seattle and I've gone there 4 times the last few weeks. I can't stay away. read more

As an LA native, I've had my fair share of great Mexican food. This place ABSOLUTELY makes the cut! I wasn't expecting such great Mexican food while traveling through WA but was pleasantly surprised! I had the Carne Asada plate, which was delicious and reminded me of a home cooked meal! The beans and rice were flavorful (and vegetarian) and the small salad it comes with was super fresh. The meat was also tasty, well-marinated and cooked perfectly. My vegetarian gf got the tostada combo without meat (beans + the works) and she loved it! Look forward to being back if I'm ever around. read more

One of the best carne asada I had in Washington state. The amount of meat, grilled onions and perfect marination. Going to make this my go to spot when traveling up to Canada. read more

The best Mexican place in Skagit County! Actually, this place rivals some of the best Mexican food I've had in LA and Chicago. I'm very picky when it comes to Mexican food, especially since there aren't too many authentic places here. The restaurant is located in a small strip mall near a salon and used clothing store so I knew it was going to be good. You walk up to the counter and order your food whether dining in or taking out. I highly recommend you try the aqua fresca which on the day I went was orange. This tasted like juice from heaven. This is probably what the Israelites had when they were wandering through the desert. They also have horchata. The food I had was a combo that I made up: they allowed me to order milanesa and also carne asada. It's not very often that I find a place that serves milanesa, so when I see it, I must order it. The person who took my order was very friendly and she was flexible in allowing me to create my own combo. I highly recommend this place. The rice and beans were also delicious, and I wish I had more on my plate. They also served fresh homemade tortillas. I had flour tortillas and they were delicious. They also brought over four different salsas that were home made. Each of them had slightly different flavors. The one you would think would be the mildest which resembled more of a pico de gallo was actually one of the hottest. I liked the green salsa the best. Would I go back? Heck yes! I'm already planning my next trip up there just for this meal. Parking is easy since it's a strip mall. read more

I dont't easily give out 5* on Yelp but this one deserves it. If you are in the Mt. Vernon area do yourself a favor and stop by this authentic Mexican Tacquiera spot. For 2 full orders of taco dinners complete with rice salad and beans we paid only $23.00 with tax and tip included. Definitely worth every penny. The quality of food was exceptional, service was super fast, friendly staff and fun enviroment. We just happen to be in the area after a long day of shopping and decided to stop by for a quick bite. So glad we did... yummy in the tummy!!!! read more

Followed our Yelp noses and found ourselves at Taqueria La Bamba for a late lunch. This place is amazing, a total hole-in-the-wall magical find that I'd happily come back to again and again. The menu is vast and everything is tasty and served in generous, steaming hot portions. I particularly enjoyed the huarache (thinly fried semi circular dough covered in refried beans, whatever protein you want and smothered in shredded lettuce, tomatoes and queso fresco) and the sopes (more thickly fried dough circles with your choice of toppings). The lengua (tongue) here is the best I've had in the states - soft, tender, and flavorful. The spicy beef is really good as well, as was the grilled shrimp and the beef cheeks. Yum! Most of the meals also come with a generous side of rice and beans and everything comes with 4 different sauces that you can add to your liking. If you're in the mood, I'd also recommend treating yourself to a michelada - they are enormous, refreshing and the most addictive mix of sweet, salty, tangy and savory. Prices here can't be beat and I walk away feeling stuffed and happy every single time. Be prepared to wait for your food as everything is made fresh when you order it, which is why it's so delicious. read more

Having spent a few years living in southern CA and visiting Mexico, I'm pretty familiar with the cuisine and if you are looking for legit Mexican food, this is your spot. I've ordered a variety of the menu items, from sopes with lengua to huaraches with spicy beef. The produce (lettuce, tomatoes, etc) is fresh; the rice & beans are hot and hit the spot; and the portions are generous. There are two bonuses here that really make it for me. First, the micheladas taste great and they are GIANT. Second, the home made salsa (hot sauce) on each table is f'ing delicious. By the end of the meal you'll be using your food as vehicle for the salsa! Last note, the staff are super friendly and more than happy to answer any of your questions about the menu. Plus, the kitchen is flexible, since all the food is made to order, BTW, so you can ask for substitutes or modifications to your order if you prefer. read more

La Bamba is "da bomb". All in the best way! Fresh, great food. Our new favourite place. Wonderful service and staff. Menu is just right for excellence of dishes. Their four hot sauces/ salsas are medium to very hot, and you are given a sample of all four, with corn tortillas fried whole, so you have to break them. So fun. Who doesn't like to break bread together? Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu. read more

Been wanting to try this restaurant for some time, having heard good things. Turns out the good things were true as the food was excellent, a bit of a different take on Mexican food, I loved it. My granddaughter had a burrito that was different from the norm and absolutely delicious. I had Milanesa de Carne, which is a lightly breaded steak with grilled onions. The portions were more than ample and everything was fresh, rice and beans just right. A tray of four salsas is brought to the table with the food, and they are spicy. The woman taking the order and serving the food was very personable, with a sweet smile. Definitely my new favorite Mexican joint when on the mainland. read more

I've been in here a couple of times now, once for take out and one eating in. The first time the food was quite good and had lots of flavor but I saw a couple ants crawling on the table. I figured maybe someone spilled some soda or something so I tried it again. The next time I ordered in and the food wasn't anywhere as good as the first time and saw 2-3 ants walking over the table. Pretty disgusting and won't have to be back. read more
