I have traveled throughout Mexico and have done a fair amount of complicated Mexican cooking. LA Bamba is very good. Don't order the regular strip-mall stuff like tacos. Go for the shrimp dishes (like the very good Camerones Veracruzanos) or a mole (like the Mole Negro con Pollo that I had recently). The staff is super nice, and the decor is good. If the restaurant was in a more trendy area it would be really week known. I highly recommend it. (I wonder about the negative post about a location that was on Sandy Blvd. Did the reviewer get mixed up about the name of that restaurant? I never saw a La Bamba on Sandy. In any case, my review is about a restaurant on SE Powell, and it has been very good for years.)

We have always had really good experiences here. We eat here at least once a month or more. They are very friendly and the food has always been excellent. I would highly recommend it to anyone!
