My wife and I were wanting to support small businesses as we live close by and drive past it all the time. The staff was friendly, but unfortunately the food was not good. The meat was hard to tell what it was and there were HUGE chunks of fat in both of ours. We both feel sick to our stomachs. Unfortunately, we probably won't be going back for this reason. Unfortunate, because the staff was nice.

After reading lots of reviews I thought this would be good food and it is not. The food is under seasoned, lacks flavor and salt. I paid extra for spicy salsa only for it to be watered down. Don't trust food reviews in Minnesota unless you see a variety of people from different ethnic backgrounds say that the food is good.

Super friendly staff, small but very clean restaurant. Loved the big windows and TVs. We are outside which was a nice option. The pollo loco was not pleasing to my taste buds but my husband loved it. I had asked for the shrimp to be left out due to my allergy. My husband knew the shrimp would have made it perfect. I enjoyed his steak burrito instead. Nothing remarkable but I would reccomend going here. We'll be back to try other food on the menu. Love that they offer chorizo on the menu too!

I love this place. Really good shrimp tacos (I request corn tortillas so they are GF) and add lettuces, tomatoes and sour cream. Great chips and salsa. Always friendly. I also love eating outside when it's nice. Don't miss this place.

Excellent spot for some great Mexican food.
Restaurant was clean and well kept, and they have a nice patio for outdoor dining.
Staff was extremely pleasant and welcoming.
Food was absolutely fantastic.
Prices were lower than expected.
Loved the small menu with a great selection of top hits.
Overall amazing experience. The epitome of a hole in the wall place with outstanding service and food.
Highly recommend El Bamba to everyone.

Best Mexican food around and excellent value! Authentic Mexican food is extra special here! Service is outstanding and helpful. Never go wrong with the El Bamba burrito and the fried ice cream. Worth the trip!

Super friendly staff, quick service, I'm never disappointed when I come here! Authentic food, huge portions (you will have leftovers!), and get some chips and queso to go! You'll want some the next day!

The delivery took an hour which wasn't too big a deal as I was in no rush however when It got here the lady didn't speak English so I had no idea what she was asking me to do. Then on the bill they charged me dinner prices even though I ordered at 11am so that was an extra $3. And after all this when I opened the food the nachos were just lettuce and chips and a small amount of meat. The flan was watery and just a golfball sized thing which was surrounded by whipped cream liquid. Called it in and was offered a 25% off coupon on my next order which I will probably not be ordering from here again

If you love Mexican food then you have to visit this place. Limited parking and seating however awesome food for sure. Close to outlet malls. Quick service. You have to try their jalapeno and sriracha salsa. Very reasonable prices. Delivery seems to be very popular. Good size portions as well. Don't worry about the "hole in the wall" appearance, one of our favorite places to visit.
