La Bamba Authentic Mexican Restaurant

If you are on the Interstate this is your quick and easy stop. Very quick and good food. You will not be disappointed. Also anything else you will need to get back on the road. Within a rock through is Gas, Super Market, Walgreens and more.

Good Mexican food! These loaded nachos were so so so good! Nick was a wonderful server and accommodated our large party well!

Have been here before and had a fun experience but tonight we had a reservation made for a birthday celebration and they did not have a table prepared for us. What is the point of a reservation if you aren’t going to actually RESERVE a table. Very sad and disappointed

The food was bland. The jalepenos were not even hot. They advertised a dish as a Ribeye but the steak was not a ribeye cut. The beer was WARM!!!! Worse restaurant I've been to in the Ruston area.

We like this place more so then others still not Texas Mexican food restaurant but it'll do

My senior mom picked up dinner this evening. They overcharged her for a Burrito La Bamba and a separate charge for the side of rice that should've come with the meal. Their menu on their website shows the whole meal should've cost $8.99, before tax. They charged her $10 for the burrito and $2.25 for the rice. If they did that to her, who else are they overcharging and double charging? And the shredded chicken in the burrito was tasteless and dry...definitely not worth the price.

We had my daughter's graduation dinner here with a party of about 20 with her siblings and friends and it was totally amazing! Food was wonderful the staff was super friendly, the price was right and my family was happy! Definitely got my vote! 😉💯

Absolutely awful sat for 45 minutes and never got our drinks refilled and when the food finally did come out it was cold I will never go back!!!!

Excellent service. The crunchy taco was very tasty. The enchiladas were a little bland but dousing them in salsa perked them up nicely. Good value for the lunch menu.

Food was great and service was top notch. Gabe waited on us and could not have done a more professional job. Thanks La Bamba!

The people working in the establishment were friendly. Moreover, they provided us no silverware or napkins, as we ordered to go.
The carne asada was tough basically like the meat served 15 years in San Quentin, Ca. Asked for corn tortillas but got flour!! Asked for a mango margarita but got a regular margarita . The refried beans were burnt, no sour cream was provided however the chips, salsa and queso was good.

It wasn't bad just not the best "authentic" Mexican food I've had. I'm not sure how authentic this actually is. I've been to many places and never had green peas in my Mexican rice. But the salsa was very good. Nice service. Clean. Just a little bland on the flavorings.

The service here is very polite and helpful. I have eaten here twice in the past 3 months. The first time I ordered chips/queso and crazy rice. The food is tasty, but the portions are very small. I ordered chicken and shrimp crazy rice and there was barely any food on the plate. A very thin layer of rice and just a small bit of meats. The second visit I and someone I was with ordered the same meal and a quesadilla. Like I mentioned before, the food taste very well, the portions are just very small. I would understand if the meal wasn't priced at what it is for the small portion. Despite the

When this place first opened, it was fantastic. The food quality, service and prices were exceptional. However, in the last year or so, conditions have declined. My usual selection, chicken fajitas, has gone from outstanding to mediocre. The onions and peppers are burnt not caramelized and the chicken is dry. Even the chips seem not to be as fresh. I am so disappointed because this was my favorite restaurant in Ruston and I recommended to everyone. I can't do that anymore. I hope that this restaurant returns to its roots.

Food was MEDIOCRE. And that's a stretch. chips, salsa, and queso were the only good things at this restaurant. I asked for a steak quesadilla. "Steak quesadilla with just steak and cheese" and they brought me a fajita chicken meat quesadilla with American cheese. This was greasy and the grease was overwhelming me and the taste was not good. The La Bamba burrito was okay if you like lime flavor. This isn't even the worst part. They had my whole order wrong and I was actually hungry so i ordered what i get at El Paso. Just a side order of fajita steak. The waitress asked

So good food and very nice service delicious seafood I love it I recommend so happy to stop here for lunch

The service was extremely slow, our tables orders arrived one at a time over a 20-25 minute span. That was after we had already waited 30 minutes . Food was mediocre at best. I don't recommend this restaurant.

The food was ok. My daughter went with some of her teammates and she had the chicken enchiladas. She said they were pretty good but the rice and beans were just ok. I think I might go try this spot out the next time I'm in town, review it for myself!!

I really enjoyed it. I was looking for a quick lunch, and I saw this pop up on yelp. They seated me pretty fast, and then gave me a huge basket of chips and a pourable salsa. I probably ate the whole thing by myself. It was really good. I ordered the beef enchiladas, it came with rice and refried beans. I liked it so much, I ordered another order to go, for later!

Ok. So it's been open a few years now. Food is good and fairly priced. Chips and salsa are good. Menu is hard to read because of the paper. Service is slow. And I just waited 20 minutes to get the check and then my change. I had to go find the manager after my family left and I was still waiting on the check. I'm tired of the wait. If you want good food and don't mind iffy service then go.

Passing through on I 20. found this place! everything is so fresh. this is by far the best mexican food I have ever had! everything was seasoned to perfection.

Experience was alright ate lunch /dinner with a group of friends. I have had better....

Very good food and the service is always excellent. What more can you ask for? I have been on nights the have Karaoke, which is very loud. I recommend going at lunch.

Best Mexican food I have ever had. The chicken burrito is awesome. Also here fajitas are excellent! Normally really busy every time we go. My in laws came to town and we took them here. My mother in law said the steak fajitas were the best she has ever had!!

Probably the best Mexican food in town. This is the "reincarnation" of what was Old Mexico (which was shut down for health reasons). The new La Bamba seems like it's always clean. Food is standard, but tastes better than El Jarrito. Probably the best queso in town. Relatively small, but has a lot of seating that is spaced well.

Really the only negative against it is the location. It's in the main strip mall in town, but it's right in the middle. The parking lot can be confusing.

I love Mexican food, and I crave it almost daily. So it breaks my heart to say that my favorite Mexican restaurant in town has continuously been letting me down.

If you do not care about receiving good service, then ignore this post. The food is normally pretty good, even though recently it has not been as good. My poor rating is mainly due to the poor service. The past 5 times I have been, I have given the servers the benefit of the doubt. I have officially had enough though. Waiters will constantly walk by and not even pay the slightest attention to us, the customers. Our glasses will remain

Horrible...was my 1st time here and i was expecting way better..even the margarita was nasty
..very nice decor though
