About La Bamba

La Bamba Mexican Restaurants Group is a chain of 20+ concept-based Mexican "fast casual" restaurants serving both college towns and big cities, primarily in the Midwest. With a catchy "Burritos as big as your head" slogan, La Bamba features cooked-to-order Mexican meals in the $6-$7 range as well as a selection of Value Meals. The food is delicious and truly authentic Mexican, the portions are large and the service is quick. Our restaurants are all decorated with a bright, Mexican theme in red, white and green that helps to create a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. The restaurants begin serving lunch at 11:00 a.m. and stay open late at night to cater to the "after bar-closing"crowd.

About Quesada

BLAND IS NOT AN OPTION Our goal is to bring the Quesada brand of Made-Fresh-For-You Burritos to cities and towns across Canada. Franchising is about making the right decisions based on a past pattern of success. Decisions based on experience. At Quesada, yes, we know how to make an award wining burrito; but before we got to making the burrito we had to learn how to choose successful real estate, how to negotiate a good lease, how to design and build a restaurant at an affordable price, where to buy equipment, how to manage food and labour cost and how to market our concept. What Quesada does for you is help you make the right decisions about things that you may know little or nothing about and about things you may only do once; like choosing a site, or a contractor or a piece of equipment. And then we teach you how to manage your business, minimize your operating costs, increase your sales and market your business. And nobody comes to the table with the same skill sets. And everybody has something to learn. If you are strong in one area, we can help make you stronger and if you lack a skill, we can help you learn it. One hand washes the other in this business. We offer: *Site Selection *Store Design and Construction *Training *Advertising *Opening and Ongoing Support We have put together a great team and look forward to working with great partners as we build the best Burrito chain in Canada. Give us a call, together we can make it happen.
