La Bamba is without a doubt one of the best burritos you can find in the Bay Area. This hole-in-the-wall may not look like much from the outside, but the delicious food and fast service more than make up for appearances. If you go during the lunch or dinner rush, be prepared to wait in lines out the door, but they've got this stuff down to a science - don't expect to wait more than 5-10 minutes to get your food. They serve a wide variety of meats (just about everything but cabesa), and their carnitas is perfect - crunchy on the outside yet soft and tender on the inside, just like it should be. If I could find one fault it would be that their guacamole is a little runny, but the overall flavor of the burrito speaks for itself. Do yourself a favor and give La Bamba a try - you won't regret it.
