It was above The Den on kirkwood. Burritos as big as your head. That shit was awesome after a night at Kilroys.
I don't remember La Bambas when I was there. I do remember the Broad Ripple location in the 90s though.

loved that place. Must have been the beer talking , swear I lived in that place. They had one in West Lafayette too. And in Champaign
wonder if any are still around.
I liked it too. I don't remember much Mexican food in Bloomington beyond Taco Bell, Taco John's, and Chi Chi's.
Still a few of the around apparently

Remember Pancho's Villa? (dating myself)
I remember the movie. Does that count?

I think I do. Across from the wheel on the north end of town?

awesome. Thanks for the link. My older son is a freshman at Purdue. I'll have to hit it up when I'm down there. Yes it's hard to have a son at Purdue. Real hard. :).
Burritos as big as your head. Perfect after a night of drinking ... but the morning brings internal chaos.
@hoosiers94 Never been there, but your post gives me a heartburn just thinking about it. 😖
I used to walk there and have the burrito for lunch sometimes.
They used to be a college town staple. There was one in West Lafayette, Muncie, Bloomington, Broad Ripple, and several other college towns. Even Lincoln Nebraska,iirc.
I think there is still one on Lafayette Road in Indy.

50%+ of my graduating class went there. And they went willingly.

There was one in Louisville too for awhile…I still remember the sign on the building….it was a big burrito with a hidden head….all you could see was the sombrero, forehead and ears! 😁
ABSOLUTELY. Not sure how good it really was, but it was satisfying at the time. I was trying to remember the other day, was the Den both upstairs & down at one point in the early 90’s before La Bamba I distinctly remember buying bootleg CD’s upstairs….
