What People Are Saying About La Bamba
The Editor

In Short – Walking into its bright, spacious interior, it's hard to tell that this taqueria is part of a national chain; customers are made to feel like regulars. Although La Bamba serves the standard range of Mexican fast food--tortas, tacos, quesadillas--the signature item is the burrito, which comes in three sizes (miniature, regular and super) and is stuffed with steak, pork, chicken or chorizo plus beans, lettuce, tomatoes, onions and cheese.

Horrible even when I'm drunk
by tearear at Citysearch
If you have ever had good Mexican food, you know this is the opposite! NEVER PUT LETTUCE IN A BURRITO!
- Pros: It gets out of your system quickly!
- Cons: Taste

GREAT TACO TUESDAYS!!!!!
by luzmaria81 at Citysearch
I lived all over the Chicago land area and I have to say La Bamba is great Mexican food!!! Clean, friendly, and good service. You also can't beat $1.00 taco on tuesday (they have to be beef) but it's worth it!!! CHECK IT OUT SOON before it's over!!!!
- Pros: $1.00 taco on tuesdays, open late
- Cons: Not enough seating during peak hours

Great Late Night Burrito
by layalisss at Citysearch
I noticed that fast food options are slim after the clubs get out but as far as late night eats go, this is among the best. I guess having a few drinks in me might also make me a little biased! Being from Arizona it is hard to find good mexican fast food anywhere but in the Southwest, and this is by no means comparable, but it holds its own in Chicago. The burritos are tasty, the salsa is spicy, and the guys who work there are the nicest in the city. I really like the Horchata there too, it's all I ever drink! When my options include things like gyros and pizza, this place always wins.
- Pros: Cheap eats, fast service, good food
- Cons: No parking, not enough seating during peak hours
