Just average! High priced.

The food was acceptable. We were in the middle of our dinner and the waitress dropped the check, she didn't asked anything and walk away. It was three waitresses having a laud conversation at the work station right in the front of our table, dropping the dishes and silverware, it really was an unpleasant experience. I will not recommend to seat at that table is at the upper level, right in the middle.

Best lunch experince I've had in a LOOONNGGG time.Came in for lunch, no waiting & was seated immediately, my food was to my table in less than 5 minutes, and my waiter was there every time I needed anything at all.It was the perfect lunch stop and I can't wait to go back.Highly recommended!

Excellent food and great service!

May 2022, came here with friends and the place was very festive - my only complaint was the music was too loud so we asked them to sit us all the way in the back that was less noisy. Our server was wonderful, she took great care of our table. She quickly gave us a basket of Corn Chips and Salsa ( mild and hot) that was delicious. Only thing is if you want more Corn Chips you have to pay for them, so we skipped the second basket. The frozen House Margarita were also delicious, good thing we had a designated driver who doesn't drink and drive us all home safely. I ordered the Chicken Taco Salad that the salad that came in a Tortilla Bowl, the chicken cubs and salad was fresh. My friend ordered the Steak Fajita that came out sizzling, it was delicious. The steak meat was tender and fresh and onion, peppers were delicious. My other friend ordered the Ropa Vieja, Stewed Shredded Beef + Onions + Peppers + Tomato / Served with White Rice, Black Beans & Plátanos which she gets all the time and loves when she comes here. All and all, we will definitely come back here in the future, and you can’t beat the prices.

Friendly, accommodating service! Delicious palomilla and shrimp scampi! Savory Margaritas and Espressos, too!

We got a stomachache after eating at la Bamba after years of enjoying this restaurant on 441 and Sample. Also, if you order to go, you won't get salsa with your meals unless you pay extra.

We stopped in for lunch since we were on the east side of town, and I'd been craving Mexican food for awhile. When we arrived, we were seated immediately in a booth. Our server came to the table and asked what we wanted to drink. I was eyeing the Margaritas, and I was stuck between the watermelon and the blood orange. Our server explained that they were out of the watermelon flavor, so blood orange it was! He asked if we wanted guac or cheese dip with our chips, so we opted for the cheese dip. He left to get our drinks and chips, and left us to peruse the menu.When he came back with the chips, I ordered the Verde Burro (burrito) which comes with green sauce and Monterey Jack, and hubby ordered the Burro Dinner (burrito). The food came out in a decent amount of time, and was piping hot! The burritos come with a side of yellow rice and refried beans. Everything was fantastic! This was exactly what I'd been craving.Overall, we had a great experience here. The parking lot is ample, the restaurant is clean, the food is good, and the staff are friendly. We will definitely be back!

For starters…the bartender payed no attention to us (he works Monday nights) left us sitting there for 20 minutes without any drinks, water or anything. After 35 minutes of waiting, we had to ask for menus for the second time…after 45 minutes our food came out cold. We returned it and they brought it back microwaved with the plates so hot that you couldn’t touch them. The food was still cold on the inside. He has a very bad attitude and is the worst bartender there. As far as I know he works Monday’s. I go there at least 3 times a week and I’m highly upset. Ervin is the only one that seems to know what he is doing. I am highly disappointed. Stay away from the bar on Monday’s..this guy is horrible! .

Very busy on Sunday, always busy. Took a while to have order taken but there were 7 of us so didnt matter. However when we asked for more chips and salsa, waitress was emphatic that she would have to charge us for more. Annoying since we're waiting, there were two baskets of chips and two sets of salsa. We didnt think it was unreasonable to have more for 7 people. I get enchiladas every time there and they were good but unusually bland I thought.
