Tortillería y Taquería La Bamba — Restaurant in Florida

Well folks I have discovered a dusty gem. This is not for you prim & proper people. Just good food in a HOLE in the Wall place. This is located in the corner of Star Mall a very small strip mall. Way back in the corner. on N. Tamiami Trail & Pondella. This is a combo Mexican mart/travel agency/Taqueria.

When you enter you see all 3. The taqueria has a 6-7 stool white tile counter. Plus a small 2 person table in the middle. There are 5-6 remotes laying around. On the TV is a Spanish channel playing. EVERYTHING is in Spanish first and English 2nd.

They seem to hide the menu. It is pretty typical fare. Tacos, enchilada and the Burrito

Ahhh the super burrito! I thought it was a bit pricey at 7.99 BUT this was the first burrito where I NEEDED to use a fork. It was stuffed with all the fix-ins. There was no pork option but there was a chorizo option. It was DELESH...The salsa was fresh and the green sauce was ,NOT FOR YOU WIMPS, VERY CALIENTE.

So if you like hot & spicy ( the way I like my women ) and are adventurous....

If you are looking for good south of the border inspired food, go here. The owner is extremely kind and not only took our order but also talked to us about his inspiration for the dishes that he had on his menu. Everything we ate was good. I had the veggie burrito and it was huge and so good. I would get avocado with it next time for sure. (I ate the avocado from my dad's food and it was the perfect addition.)

My boyfriend had beef tongue tacos and was super impressed by them. My mom got the stuffed pepper and also enjoyed them. My dad got a mix of meats and said everything was cooked really well. The rice and beans was not the traditional rice and beans you get at every other Mexican restaurant (which makes sense...this is not a Mexican restaurant!) The beans were not refried but came whole with a flavorful sauce. The rice wasn't the usual rice you get at Mexican restaurants--it was really good though. Overall this place is worth giving a try. ...
