La Bamba Burrito Express

Had a super lovely experience here! Incredibly friendly staff, a great weekly special line up, and delicious, spicy salsas. I ordered the fajitas and while there were more onion than I like, the flavors were great and they came with possibly the best corn tortillas I’ve had in Asheville—super soft, sturdy, and pliable. I loved my experience and I look forward to coming back to try more of their menu!

Nice little hole in the wall place. This is very different from the "California style Mexican food" places that have taken over everything and they do have traditional dishes from many other Hispanic countries. They have one of the best Molcajete I have had in the area. That is the giant lava rock bowl that shows up stuffed full and boiling hot.

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Slow down and read the menu, especially the last page! Remember to get your own salsa in the front of the restaurant, there's plenty to choose from. #AshevilleStrong

Ehhhh service was a bit rough, drinks/dishes sent to the wrong people, no straws, stale chips, half of our table got their food 5+mins before the rest did. Service picked up when another worker checked on us but yeah... I'd say save your money on this one. I will note I've come here for dinner previously and really liked their molcajete, now that was worth it.

Exactly what one would expect for a Mexican restaurant with a grocery attached… delish! We got the burrito specials they had for Mondays $4.99 my husband got beef with refried beans and I got chicken with black beans. Holy Buckets they were huge for $4.99 and were great. Good flavor, lots of filling, side of chips with Pico and queso fresco. Such a deal. It’s the best queso I’ve had in the area as well. Not watered down, thick and cheesey. Will defo be back!
