We were served chips with green sauce (gets spicy) and red sauce (is spicy) and were given a second basket of chips by our friendly waiter. I ordered a hot chocolate (delicious) on a whim, and enjoyed every sip. Laura ordered a burrito, I ordered three tacos. Large servings -- and, be advised: heavy hand on the cilantro, although I found it just fine. Food was excellent. Our waiter is from the Mexican state of Veracruz, and he was really friendly and nice. Great value for the money. Laura has been there before. I know I'll go back. Highly recommended.

My grilled chicken tacos were bland and nearly overcooked, with no juiciness to moderate the raw white onions they were served with. My guac was chunky, served cold, and lacked aromatics, textures, and even salt. The chips I got were hard and thick; difficult to crunch on. All in all I felt this location of La Bamba was inferior to its cousin in Boonton.

Came in on a Tuesday night and were the only people in the restaurant. I know week nights are probably slow but would've thought there would be some more patrons. My husband got the taco Tuesday special (2 tacos and a margarita for $14) and I ordered the Enchiladas Suizas. They also bring out chips when you first sit down. I thought all the food was very tasty and they've definitely improved since our first visit. Also helps that they serve alcohol now. We'll definitely be back again, maybe on a weekend to see if the atmosphere is more lively.

Beautiful and festive decor sets the mood and everyone gets a tablet menu but you still give your order to the staff. Complementary chips and salsa hit the spot, but my Horchata tasted shy. I like mine richer and bolder with the cinnamon. Then their Signature Tortilla Soup that has chicken in it tasted just okay. The chicken leaned dry and the tortilla was scarce. My coworkers raved about this place so I need to order better next time. NOTES/TIPS: **Great service **Small lot, clean restrooms

***2 1/2 stars***…read more It's rare that I have a mediocre experience where I actually want to go back to the place to give it another shot. I came here yesterday for a post-Odyssey meal with my top-tier chum from the Kingdom of Sussex around 3:30pm. We found this place by playing one of my favorite games, Yelp Roulette, where you scroll through the nearby activity feed and just pick a place that shows up on there. You can really get burned doing that, or find an interesting spot you wouldn't have otherwise stumbled upon. This one was a little column A, a little column B. The overall space is what Norte 175 really has going for it - it's a really cool building, and they've done some edgy interior decorating. It's super spacious and definitely a place I could see myself coming back for drinks in the future. My chum got a margarita but I'm in training so had to forego - arguably, maybe that was the issue; comparing notes, the drink was probably the best item either of us had, and I didn't get it. And it IS a tequila bar. I did get a diet soda, which had solid carbonation, so there's that at least. Neither of us were insanely hungry (we had a bit of fuel before our three-hour movie screening) so we split three apps - the guac, the chicken quesadilla and the grilled octopus. None of them were particularly noteworthy. Palate preference, but the guac had way too much stuff in it for me; I like a smooth, avocado-forward guac, not obscenely chunky with tons of onions guac. The octopus was not the best - texture is really important with that dish, and this one was way too chewy. The accompanying sauce didn't do enough to negate that for me. And the quesadilla was just okay; a bit bland and could probably use some kind of aioli sauce in it, or perhaps more seasoning overall with the chicken. It was fine and the best of the three, which sadly isn't saying much. We also got the raspberry lemon mousse cake (well, pretty much I did - my chum had literally one bite to be polite). As you can see from the attached, it doesn't look like anything like its stock photo on the menu, which is worth noting - still looks fine but given how different it looks in person, arguably false advertising on some level. If you're thinking about getting it, I'd rely on customer photos versus the menu if the optics are important to you. Tasty but a little too sweet - they doubled down, essentially, on the tartness, which made it a bit overwhelming, but I could easily see a lot of people being into this. The service was just okay. Our waitress did stop by occasionally but just didn't seem to be in a great mood. It honestly felt like a bit of an imposition to ask her for anything. Obviously could have just been having a bad day, but when your primary responsibility is hospitality dot dot dot. She wasn't mean by any stretch but I just wouldn't categorize her as pleasant. Is what it is. This place could really benefit from its location, literally five minutes from the Rockaway Mall - and this isn't an area with an enormous amount of options beyond the chains, so they have a legit opportunity to cash in if they can improve the food options. We'll see what happens in the future with round two.
