As a native Texan, LA Bamba has hands down the best mole I have had outside of home. The staff and atmosphere are absolutely amazing.

First time there. Just to see how good it was. Great. When I walked up to the door a man saw me coming and greated me well. Directed me to a seat and gave me the menu and silverware and water. He asked if I would like anything to drink. etc. He took my order and I was so surprised at how fast he brought the Barreto with Beans and Rice. Yummy. When I first sat down, a girl put a dish of salsa and chips on the table. There is a bar also. I had a glass of draft beer. A very friendly fellow. Great place to be. Larry Ellis

I love this place so much that I went back 2 days after my first visit. Staff at La Bamba, including the Chihuahua, made my dining experience super enjoyable. The food is authentic and delicious - With each bite, I was transported to the vibrant streets of Mexico. Right after we sat down, I was already impressed with the free salsa for the table. The menu boasts a wide array of dishes, and I highly recommend the butter garlic shrimp appetizer. Each succulent shrimp was perfectly cooked and coated in a heavenly garlic-infused butter sauce. The combination of richness and tanginess was simply divine. I also found myself surprised by the amount of food I received for the price paid. It's a rarity to find such generous portions without compromising on taste and quality. Whether you're looking for a quick meal on your way to the mountain or a memorable dinner, La Bamba will exceed your expectations and leave you craving for more.

I have never seen my boyfriend enjoy his food more than when I took him here. We had the Pollo en Mole and the Burrito Yucatan and I pretty much had to hold him back from licking the plates. Their service was excellent making sure the drinks were never empty and they were always smiling and friendly.

Update: August 14th, 2022. We dined inside the restaurant for the first time in awhile. I got a taste of what real, homely service feels like again and it was quite refreshing. Speaking of fresh things, the food was perfect! I ordered a #6 burrito w/ground beef, no beans, extra rice. The amount of extra rice is exactly how much I was hoping for. I LOVE THE RICE. The ground beef was tasty and cooked just right. The burrito was NOT drowning in the sauce and cheese which also wasn't overwhelming the flavor of that delicious ground beef. The owner is a fantastic person, very patient and a very hard worker. The service is helpful, so patient, and friendly. My boyfriend introduced me to his hometown of Sandy around 4 years ago and the first take out meal I ate was from La Bamba, it was a 1 minute drive from our house! I was so happy to find a classic mexican restaurant near me, we ate here every Friday for 3 months straight. Now that we have moved slightly farther away (about 10 minutes) we try our best to eat here as often as possible. I enjoy supporting small town restaurants!
