Always loved La Bambas. Went in there one night drunk and told them I wanted to try their hottest sauce they have. I about died that night 😂 all the cooks and employees came out to watch and were laughing their ass of at my expense.
I didn’t know they had a sauce hotter than what’s on offer but have since learned almost all Mexican places do, even the ones that are more Americanized. About 2:20 on Thursday mornings I would wait in line and always get the super burrito with jalapeños and the hottest salsa they had in the little tubs. I want to say they were around $7 for a super burrito but the jalapeños and sour cream added a little bit. Seemed expensive to me at the time too.
The result later in the day Thursday was always the same after a long night of drinking beer then dumping that super burrito on top of it. Wasn’t hungry all morning, by early afternoon there would be this biting pain mid-abdomen, which by late afternoon became a crescendo of agony as it moved its way down.
Everyone probably knows how the rest goes. No wonder I was diagnosed with diverticulitis before the age of 40.
