La Bamba del Norte prides itself on serving authentic, made-from-scratch Mexican fare inspired by the northern state of Chihuahua. Boasting a slew of classics prepared the traditional way, the menu lists such savoury fan favourites as burritos ($14), sizzling fajitas ($17), and spicy chipotle enchiladas ($16), as well as less familiar fare. These include La Bamba's dinner-only grilled specialties such as alambre, a skewered affair involving steak, bacon, onions, cheese, and midnight assignations ($18), and parrillada, a barbecued mélange of steak, ham, pineapple, and cheese ($18). Desserts from the fryer include light and airy sopapillas ($5) or deep-fried ice cream ($5). La Bamba mixes its signature margarita ($9.50) with a house-made blend of 100 per cent real fruit and genuine agave tequilas. The kitchen offers an array of gluten-free options and can transmogrify most of its meat-centric dishes into vegetarian, vegan, or virtual-reality variants.
