This is my favorite restaurant in Philly! Whenever visit Philly from NYC, I always make sure to go to La Bamba for the eclectic cosy atmosphere, to hang out with the owner Michael who is so awesome and welcoming, as well as the amazing food! I always have the best time at La Bamba, it’s a must go t
I am so lucky to have stumbled across this place!!! Incredibly friendly and generous people working here, especially Michael, the owner! The food is fantastic. Best shrimp taco I’ve had in the city. Thanks for an awesome meal!
a bit hard to find but so worth it. the owner was so friendly and helpful. we didn’t really know how the menu worked so we just got brisket tacos and they were INCREDIBLE. seasoned, fresh ingredients. absolutely wonderful, would definitely recommend
Truly so delicious—such a fresh, incredible tasting burrito and delicious drinks! The owner was so friendly and welcoming as well. The filet mignon burrito was out of this world.
Before La Bamba, life was a dull every day occurrence that I was forced to endure. After La Bamba, I finally know what real, sincere optimism is. This food the environment, and the experience is something that you would only imagine exists in an imaginary universe inside your favorite multi-season
Amazing food and juice! Heritage Burrito and Mahi mahi taco platter were delicious and very filling.
Such a unique little spot! Felt like we were in a movie the way the music was playing and the table was set up for us on the sidewalk. Truly so memorable
La Bamba is your MUST-visit, MUST-try, MUST-love spot if you want the badge of honor associated with being able to say to your friends, "I've had the best burrito in the city." I recommend the "Heritage Pibil Pork, BB, Plantain" burrito. It's just delicious and a positively new experience for burr
Michael's restaurant La Bamba is a hidden gem. I took my friend here for his birthday dinner and we actually passed the restaurant as we circled around multiple times trying to find this place, overlooking what appeared to be an eclectic shop of some sort. We almost gave up but our serious determina
This place is a beautiful combination of cozy, genuine hospitality, delicious food, and incredible ambiance. Classic cash only spot, ATM on site, and the prices are really fair.
Michael, the business owner is the Jack of All Trades in this place; FOH, chef, and host. He started us off with some hug
I can say with absolute certainty say that the brisket burrito I ate earlier tonight was the best I have ever had. Michael the chef was extremely personable and an all around pleasure as he provided excellent service. It almost feels like being invited into someone’s house and being served a home co
Love this spot! My husband and I try to come here as much as we can. The owner is super nice. The burritos are the freshest and most savory burritos I've ever had. I always get the pork but the chicken is also amazing. Just be prepared for a longer wait time as their kitchen can get backed up.
Burrito was the best I've had in Philly, maybe best I've had anywhere. As others have said, the tortilla itself is something special. All the flavors are just spectacular. Owner is passionate about his craft and always having a great time. I recommend it to everyone who asks about Mexican food in th
Outstanding establishment with great food. Michael, the owner, is a great guy and very friendly. Pretty sure it's a one man show so it might take some time for the food to come out, but well worth any kind of wait. Michael was very attentive and ensured we were enjoying ourselves. The menu might not
We try to stop here and pick up burritos whenever we're driving home from Philly. The juices are amazingly refreshing, and the Heritage Pibil burrito is our go-to favorite. The tortillas alone are better than any we've had before! This is really a hidden gem and the owner is so kind.
Quite possibly the finest and most delicious vegetable burrito in existence. I say that as an omnivore.
I came back to LA Bamba for the first time in a while. The prices have been increased to keep pace with inflation and prices at comparable places. Honestly not a big deal, still worth the money, but it was nice before that the food was underpriced. I splurged for fish tacos and they were unparallele
