Decent but not the best ever. Went here w my wife and we sat on the patio. This place is a view of the strip but based on ratings thought i would try it. We got the shrimp croquettes for appetizer. It was strangely like mashed potatoes inside and not great. I ordered surf and turf w salad side. He didn't ask me how i wanted steak done. Waiter came back later and said they were out of steak. I ended up w coconut shrimp as main and they brought it w no salad. They were ok but meh. The salmon and salad my wife got were actually good and a recommend.
best ceviche in the hotel zone .. the fried fish was spectacular .. we also ordered the diablo shrimp plate and to be honest, all three dishes were exceptional. place is tucked in between the oxxo and natura hostel and can be easy to miss.. you would never know the quality of food that comes out of here unless you go in and give them a try. service was great and we got lucky with an air conditioned inside table.
Ordered pick up through Whatsapp - so convenient! We got the fried whole fish, some ceviche, and a couple orders of the coconut shrimp. Everything was delicious but wow the shrimps were excellent. So juicy and perfectly fried. Coconut flavor was mild and not overwhelming.
Fish tacos were filling and crispy with good flavor. Solid for the price. My friend ordered a variety of the other protein options and thought they were solid as well. Service was relaxed and location is good.
The food was great, the service was excellent and the ambiance is chill. The fish tacos were nicely cooked, the chicken was good, maybe 30sec less would have been more juicy, the steak could use just a hint less salt, but overall everything was good. Oh the Guacamole with the fried shrimp bits was actually pretty good! We finished Everything! one of the better guacamoles in the area.
Really good shrimp tacos and ceviche + sauces LOVED THE TUNA CARNITAS WITH CHIPOTLE SAUCE (ate before I took photos) Good service too
The fish tacos are amazing! Cool little spot to hang out and enjoy an ojo rojo. The music playlist was great as well.
A must stop if you're looking for low key delicious seafood, great service and a ton of flavour! We sat out on the patio (small) and enjoyed each dish (especially the margarita!) Service was amazing (and we appreciated the recommendations!) The patio does sit on the sidewalk downtown Cancun so although busy, they've created a cute little spot to enjoy (and we did!)! Next time we're in Cancun, La Bamba will be a must!
When it comes to tacos I think of La Bamba having delicious tacos! I still dream about it to this day! The staff is great and they're very quick about getting the food out! I stopped by here 3 times and loved my visit every single time! My favorite was their shrimp, fish, and chips and guacamole! They have seating inside and outside. Highly recommend coming here when in Cancun!
The food was delicious; great quality tasting food: best I've had up to date. The service was great: professional, down to earth humble and honest servers. Highly recommend!
This was the best meal we had in Cancun. We went here THREE times in the span of one week for our vacation. The seafood is sooo fresh, usually my ceviches are super sour, but this place made it so perfectly that it was too sour and had that fresh taste to it. Everything on the menu looked so good, even the pizza but we only came for the delicious seafood. The pork belly tacos were SOOOO SPICY, had us dying so beware of that. The margs were DELICIOUS. We got 1L frozen margs and that thing was HUGE. We all got so fucked up from it and it was around $7usd. Great plan for a pregame! And they take credit card too! The place itself is small and usually a small wait time of 10-15 mins during dinner hours. Some seating inside and most of the seating is outdoors. Absolutely will come back one day!
La Bamba is a true hidden gem in the Cancun Hotel Zone. We ate a several restaurants in the area including the JW Marriott where we were staying and found food in the area generally lacking in flavor. Decided on a lark to explore the northern hotel zone for something family owned and not touristy and found La Bamba and ate there twice. The first time we ordered off the menu the chicken wings, ceviche, fish tacos and beef quesadillas. The ceviche is the best we have had in Mexico, which we find generally too tart for our taste but La Bamba'a is a wonderful balance of tart, natural sweetness and umami of the fish. The chicken wings were so well fried as was the fish in the fish tacos, both were super flavorful. We were so impressed with our meal and knowing we were headed on a fishing trip the next day, we knew we wanted La Bamba to cook our catch, if any. The extremely gracious host/owner? Patricio obliged us and sure enough we had a successful fishing day and brought our bounty of Mahi In the next day. Patricio and his team made us a Mahi feast in 10 different preparations, each and every dish more outstanding than the next. The star for us was the fried mahi fish sticks, which we decided is hands down the best fish sticks in the world! La Bamba has an incredibly talented fry cook with perfect batter for every dish, great crunch, crispiness and texture. This place will be a must for us if we are ever in Cancun again! 10 out of 5 stars for La Bamba!

My stay here at Cancún is almost over, so we had to come to La Bamba restaurant after seeing all the reviews. The reviews didn't not lie... great food and at a very good price. I also had a Michelada with Indio cerveza... I'm coming back to Cancun in June 2022, God willing, and yes I will come back. Great job guys. Try everything.... one of each. read more

Fresh and tasty food in the seediest part of Cancun. With a margarita the size of a fire hydrant. Staff friendly, helpful and polite. I will be back to try other things on the menu. read more

We were greeted and served by Pato (Patricio). He was very cordial and attentive. The vibe was relaxed and the music was new age top 40 type music. The decor inside is simple but tasteful. The best part: THE FOOD! Super delicious! I ordered the seafood tower(torre de mariscos). It was fresh and a good-sized portion. And the presentation, as you can see, is great! It was a great combo of lemon, green salsa, shrimp, avocado, and fresh tuna. I would order it again! My wife had the fried fish (Which she had been craving) and was very happy with how it turned out. "She wouldn't mind this l flavor in my mouth all the time!" Haha! Needless to say, this was definitely a great spot to come for fresh food! read more

Food was fresh and tasty mojitos were huge. Definitely would come here again. They were so good to us! Let us charge our phones and we tried several things on the menu and they were all delicious! There is a gentleman that will take your picture and put it on a bottle of tequila for you also if you like but not pushy if you don't. The AC is awesome! Very nice people and customer service! read more

Pato and the staff have an amazing restaurant. The cuisine was not like anything I have ever had before, it was unique and delicious. You can tell they put a lot of time and effort into the items on their menu and the taste definitely reflects that. I highly recommend you eat here when you're in Cancun! read more

We had an amazing meal last night. Everything was shockingly perfect. We had New York steak with shrimp; whole fried fish with rice and a super fresh salad; and a pepperoni pizza that was the best in Cancun. I actually thought we were in the states. The presentation was beautiful, meals served on natural sliced tree trunk....really cool, and the servers/owners were very professional and extremely friendly. 10 stars really, a must eat place! read more

We went there for a quick bite not knowing what to expect since it's a new place, and came back delighted with everything. The burguer was delicious and very thick and juicy. The fries were amazing and the sauces gave it an extra kick. Even the mojito was great. 5 stars without a doubt. read more
