Taquería La Bamba — Restaurant in Marysville

I went here with my wife, we had wanted tres hermanos but saw this place along the way and thought we would give it a shot.

We got inside no one greeted us which is fine, the selection of food was small but that's okay we aren't picky.

We ordered at 130pm and a few more people ordered after us. They got their food right away while we didn't get ours till 2pm. It was not a complex order.

The waiting would have been fine if it wasn't for the fact they were playing a very loud TV in the middle of the room which was explaining in great detail about sex in the animal kingdom.I'm talking engorged wolf penises, duck necrophila, and baby seals being raped and impaled to death by much larger elephant seals. With full footage of every little bit.

While this was informative it was a bit creepy seeing as how the children and the male adults seemed to be really interested in it.

We got our food and tried to make the best of it. But the meal turned out to be mediocre at best. It was dry and burnt in some places. My wife had ordered steak sopes and their was chicken mixed in it. It was sad. My wife also has acid reflux so I asked a lady with black glasses and a red and black flower shirt if they had any salsa that wasn't as spicy. She looked at me and point blank laughed, finishing with " well ladies you know eat at your own risk"

Cute.

We had finally had enough and I went to go pay the same lady was the one who checked me out with the black square glasses and the red and black flower shirt.

Luckily this place does take Samsung pay so while I had to explain to them how it worked I finally got it done. She asked me not once, not twice, but four times if I wanted a receipt while I was attempting to punch in my phone number to get it sent to me through text. She kept pulling the machine away to try to see what I was doing which cancelled me out of my phone number twice. Finally I reached over the counter punched in my phone number completely ignoring her and we LEFT.

worst place every, I will never go back and I will advise no one else does either.

The staff was rude unprofessional and either someone has a beastiality fetish or they are just way too enthralled at staring and animals having sex while people are trying to eat.

If you really want somewhere good to eat go to Tres Hermanos right down the road best food ever...

I had my first experience with their food yesterday. I ordered one a dish that isn't offered in most Mexican restaurants called Posole (Pozole). In talking with the lovely woman who took my order I discovered that it was her mother's recipe. Immediately I had high hopes as I always prefer to eat at Mexican restaurants that are using family owned, run and uses family recipes. It came with a healthy offering of sides, a small container of chiles and salsa too.

When I got home, I eagerly tore into the package. Having took a little longer to get home than expected, I reheated the posole. As soon as I poured it onto a pot, I could smell that warm and hearty smell I expected. At first taste, I could tell they made it for those who were less adventurous in terms of spiciness, which explains why they included the chiles (add to ones tolerance).

Fast forward a few minutes, I sat down to start eating and realized that there was so much, it was enough for two. However, I couldn't bear to share it for it has been nearly 3 years since I last tasted this rare treat. My first spoon full was filled with the broth I love and healthy chunks of meat. It was just as I had hoped. The meat was soft. The hominy, tender in the right way, the broth...filled with memories.

I find myself writing this review in the early morning because I find myself wishing they were open right now, so I could get more of that amazing and delicious posole.

Needless to say I was thoroughly satisfied and my stomach thrilled while being filled. Taqueria La Bamba will be a favorite on my list for a long...

I went in for lunch, and to work on a project on my laptop. The people working acted like I was out of place for asking what the wifi password is, I asked 3 different people two or more times each and got the same “one second I’ll be right back with that” answer repeatedly. On top of that, the food was greasy/poorly prepared, and the margarita was even worse. Owners of La Bamba- Please go down the street a few miles to La Hacienda to see how they make their margaritas, they’re amazing.

I had planned on ordering a second drink and food to go, but I left swiftly without doing any of the work I came there to do. I thought about straight up walking out on my tab.

The only reason I say any of this is because I genuinely hope the owners read this and do things to make their restaurant better. I have been in the restaurant industry for 11 years, worked as a cook for over 30 restaurants and the last four years I’ve been a server and now bartender. The only reason I left a tip was because I knew it wasn’t their fault, it was the owners fault for training their staff to serve sub par product.

Better ingredients, better training=better food and drinks.

I personally won’t go back here, but I hope for the sake of future customers this review does not...
