I started enjoying this restaurant when I attended Purdue University back in the very early 1990's. I immediately fell in love with their steak burritos and their hot sauce. For the next several years after that I enjoyed La Bamba quite often. Especially the old Broad Ripple location and the store on Michigan road. Unfortunately, pretty much all those locations that I used to enjoy have now closed. I actually thought I had lost La Bamba forever. But recently a friend and I were reminiscing about our love for La Bamba. For whatever reason I did a quick Google search and realized that there was a location still open on Lafayette road!! I was so excited learning this. So I went there as soon as I could and it did not disappoint one bit!!!! I ordered my old favorite steak burrito and it was still as delicious as I remembered. I've since been there a dozen times in the last few months even though the restaurant is over a half an hour away from where I live. I didn't care! I drove 35 minutes one way and brought a cooler to but my hot burritos in so my wife and I could enjoy them at home. The staff is very friendly and get your order out fast. Now the building is old and a little run down, but at least it's clean. That's why the three stars on atmosphere. So if you used to love this place and thought it was gone forever like me, well you're in luck!!! Go enjoy a burrito as big as...
Read moreCalled from home and asked if they had egg they could put in my steak burrito.
After I asked the man on phone if they have eggs he could put in my steak burrito he rudley and impatiently yells at me saying - “WHAT?!
I repeat myself asking if they have egg they could put in my steak burrito.
He gives me a half a**ed answer of yes and I think he only said that so he could hang up the phone.
So I repeat back to him one last time - “So you do have egg you could put in my burrito? He then gives me a very clear answer of - “YES”
I drive 20 minutes to the location and In the drive through I tell him I just called earlier asking if they could put egg in my steak burrito.
...He acts like he has no clue what I am talking about and just repeatedly keeps saying “we have no egg” “we have no egg” like I was crazy for asking in the first place.
Every moment of communication I had with this man was very unpleasant and he just seemed completely bothered by me like I was a sort of nuissance to him.
After angrily driving away I was still hungry and was fortunate enough to find a taco truck nearby with delicious tacos and actually...
Read moreThis is easily the worst food and the worst customer service I have ever had. I ordered one 2 taco 1 quesadilla combo, a burrito and chips and cheese. All of the tacos had different meat and were covered in bagged shredded lettuce. There was no quesadilla and no chips and cheese. The burrito wasn't even edible. I called back to ask for a refund and was instructed to come back to the store. I could not because I live 20 minutes away and I was on my lunchbreak. I was then told to call back today. I called this morning and the person insisted I bring the food back even though I tried to tell him that it was purchased yesterday and had been thrown away. He was extremely rude and kept interrupting me. I could not seem to get my point across that the food had been thrown away/ was missing. I have no idea how this place is still open. Horrible food. Even worse...
