We tried this Mexican restaurant on the recommendation of our hotel and we are glad that we did. We were seated promptly and had great service. The salsa is phenomenal as are the chips. I think. My wife had a burrito and I had enchiladas and both were great. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are local or just passing through as we are. I'll make this stop again when I am near. read more

Agreed to have lunch with a friend at this restaurant because it was located conveniently on my way to work. This was a second visit within two months. First time it was OK. Had a Taco Salad with ground beef. It was nice and the service was normal. This time I chose Taco Salad with chicken. Very bad choice. The chicken was tasteless and too wet, not juicy. So, the entire salad was also too soggy. I should know better than to order precooked chicken at a Mexican restaurant. First, we had a very nice server, but she got busy with a large party. There was another server standing and hanging around. When we were trying to motion and request more sodas, she didn't pay any attention to us. Finally, the manager filled up our drinks. I love Mexican food, but next time I will find another restaurant. read more

Very average Mexican restaurant with below average margaritas. The salsa was pretty good. It is served very cold. Wasn't a fan of the chips. They're super thick and were a tad over cooked. They have a very limited margarita section. I ordered the house and was not impressed. Super watery, just wasn't even a standard margarita. Ordered combination #6. Enchilada & Burrito combo with rice and beans. I guess I was expecting melted cheese on top of the enchilada and burrito. Nope, just a bunch of red sauce. The enchilada was good. Burrito, not so much. And the rice and beans needed salt and salsa on top to add flavor Very kid friendly restaurant. There were kids running all over the place. If you don't have kids and aren't feeling the drinks then this isn't the place for you! read more

La Bamba Mexican Bar & Grill is located and a nicely sized shopping plaza with Publix as an anchor store. There is plenty of parking and the shopping plaza itself is clean and conveniently located just off of the interstate. The service is friendly and professional and the overall atmosphere is somewhat standard in that Mexican restaurant model that also looks like they are trying to appeal to a different crowd by creating and almost bar-like ambience. La Bamba Mexican Bar & Grill pass specials on every day of the week, both food and drink specials. While the food is nothing special, it is not terrible. I guess mediocre is the word that comes to mind. Still, it was convenient to both the interstate and to the hotel that I was staying at. Would I recommend to your? I guess it's served its purpose in both convenience and for providing a hot meal but I got to the hotel kind of late. read more

This place is awful. I regularly (and happily) visit the Kennesaw location and tried this one tonight since it's technically closer to my home. We got there at 9pm, they close at 10. It took 25 minutes to get our drinks. We ordered cheese dip and it came to us before the chips. We had to ask for chips and salsa! The server asked to take our order twice before we got our margaritas. We ordered chimichangas--what was served to us were burritos. Flour tortillas rolled around meat. We asked the food runner, is this a chimichanga? And he shrugged. I didn't press it, I was already over this place. They turned the music off at 9:50 and started the stare down. Their message was clear--go home! I attempted to order a soft taco for my little boy at about 9:51 and the server said the kitchen was closed. Okay? Door says they are open til 10. They clearly want you out of here MUCH sooner than that. I will NEVER go back to this location. Unwelcoming, slow service, bad food, rude. If you want your staff to go home at 10, close at 9. Simple. read more

Stopped on this exit 277 on a road trip and happened upon La Bamba for lunch. We are huge fans of Mexican food and found this surprising fantastic gem next to the Publix We delighted in the super crispy fresh chips with chunky slightly spicy salsa and skinny margaritas. Perfect combo. Delicious all the way around. We decided on our entree. Shared the fresh make guacamole and mango habanero chicken dish. Healthy. Fresh. Perfectly seasoned. Tiny generous chunks of fresh mango. Mixed green instead of iceberg salad. Please come here and support this obviously family owned/operated restaurant. Order the guacamole! read more

By far the best authentic mexican restaurant I've ever eaten at. I'm from San Antonio, TX and so I come from really good cultured and mainstream mexican food. I can't believe I'm saying this but La Bamba beat any mexican restaurant in San Antonio (sorry San Antonio!). You know the chips are good because I ate a whole basket and my fiancé tried to take away the second basket and my eyes teared up lol. We laughed about it though. My waitress was amazing with a big smile and happy vibe. The atmosphere is very chill and relaxing. Something I haven't been able to feel in so many years. So far this is the only restaurant I will sit down in since COVID started. Style and decor gives me vibes like I'm in the movie Coco! My only suggestion, more flowers! Thanks so much for such a fantastic experience. I was in desperate need of some good Mexican culture and I got it! read more

La Bamba exceeded our expectations with delicious food and a quiet, relaxing atmosphere. We ordered four different dishes and every dish had amazing flavor. I highly recommend the Enchiladas de Tinga. This dish of corn tortillas stuffed with Tinga (shredded chicken in a traditional Mexican tomato sauce) was fantastic. My wife had the carnitas rice bowl. The carnitas were full of flavor, but you could still get all the flavor of the meat. I would imagine it would be amazing in a burrito as well. My daughter had the Nachos supreme. The ground beef was seasoned wonderfully and paired great with the refried beans and housemade guacamole. The service is very laid back. They give you plenty of time to peruse the menu without making you feel rushed and at the same time never ignored. Thank you La Bamaba! read more

This used to be a good spot , but it's become really bad. Solecido Lindo is way cheaper, With so many nearby options like Las Palmas, Huey Lueys, and all the ones on 92 and 41 - this is by far the worst option for Mexican food in the area. Service is always slow, food is bad, and drinks are sloppy. The shady hotel nearby , and some of the local clientele attract obnoxious guests that ruin the ambiance of a family restaurant setting. The chilaquiles are awful. Tortillas are hard, the floor is always unkempt. Mold on the onions. This is by far the worst Mexican place in the area - and there are dozens of options read more

I contacted La Bamba twice but did not get a response at all. This is what I wrote to them on Jan 5th and 9th I called in a to go order so I could pick it up while I was out. Jan 5, 2024 at 12:21. I ordered 2 La Bamba dips. Between the 2 containers there were 11 pieces of steak that was pure gristle. I have never had that when dining inside. So do you typically add the worst cut of meats to the to go orders? 1 was bad enough but that many is ridiculous and biting into that was just nasty and disappointing. La Bamba has always been our go to place. But I think its going to be a very long time before we come back, if at all. I would also like to add that when he picked up the order he decided to buy more chips and salsa. He was charged $4 for 1/2 a bag and there was no additional salsa. Only 1 small container to share with 2 dips. $27.83 plus tip for 2 La Bamba dips with the 1 salsa and the additional 1/2 bag of chips is not going to happen to us again. A $4 bag of chips should at least be almost full since they do need room to twist it down. read more

Terrible experience. I sat at the bar and it took about 10-15 minutes before I was able to order a drink, 30+ minutes for queso to come out and 45+ minutes before I was even able to order food and it was over 25+ minutes before I had to demand my food be served before I walked out. It took so long to even order the food that I was forced to order to go just so I could get to my family on time.

ordered from La Bamba for delivery. Two positives - the chips are thin and crispy and I didn't get food poisoning. Those were pretty much the only pluses to my dinner from LaBama. The Pablanos reminded me of an old raw bass. They were cold, soggy and have a taste that I just can't describe but would like to forget. The beef in the fajitas had gristle and wasn't really seasoned. Definitely not a place I would visit again. read more

For an addition $3 you can add an extra shot which I did and it made it all the better, still at a great price at $8. Chips and salsa came out literally as we were sat. Extremely quick. The chips were fresh, hot, and crispy. They had a nice light salting on them. The salsa tasted fresh and was garnish with fresh cilantro which gave it a nice pop. The salsa itself was a little bland, however. Definitely not spicy at all which is fine but I would have preferred a little more spice. I ordered the Quesadilla Birra. It was plated beautifully with a side of consommé. Overall they were just okay. The meat was nicely cooked, tender but it was just bland. Consommé was the same, bland. I likely wouldn't order this dish again. My partner did the shrimp fajitas and they were fantastic. The shrimp were nicely seasoned and cooked to perfection. Sautéed onions and peppers were also cooked perfectly. I will absolutely be back. I would like to give more of the menu a chance and the daily specials are hard to beat.

I realize food costs are rising everywhere, but this is ridiculous. 3 enchilada plates and a gauc, plus tip, was $100. The nights that the manager is not there are obvious on the food quality. Cold rice and beans was met with the new server touching the bowl and stating it was warm. The bowl was, the food in it was not. The ladies who have been there for years are great, margaritas are good, it's just not worth the prices even when the food is on point.

The chips are crispy and the salsa tasty, not hot and spicy. Husband ordered a shrimp taco salad. "These are tiny shrimp!" I had a trip of tostadas. One chicken, beef and pork. Each one was so tasty and flavorful! We found Zama on Yelp. We traveling from Florida to home. It was our first visit, which Dylan asked about. At the end of our meal, the manager came over and greeted us and brought us a dessert to share. We will arrange our next road trip to Florida to include Zana again.

Had a #6 (taco and enchilada). The taco came in a separate dish (okay) but fell apart when I tried to pick it up. I've eaten Mexican food for 50 years and this was the worst I've ever had (not kidding). The enchilada was cheese and there was plenty but it was about as dry as it could be. A little sauce would have definitely helped. The server was very attentive on the front end. When we were done, I had to flag the manager for our checks. He got right on it but 10 minutes later we were still sitting there, waiting to pay. I had to flag the manager down again. This was unacceptable. Even with 3 stars, I would never eat here again.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Mango Grilled Chicken Salad. If you have not tried it, it's a MUST! The chicken was tender, flavorful, and the spinach was fresh. The taste sensation was dynamic and I will be back for an encore. My highest rating for the restaurant and this dish! read more

Much more open, better vibe and there is also an outdoor bar. We were greeted quickly by a very friendly waitress and given menus. We ordered drinks and they came out pretty quick. Throughout the time we spent for dinner we were checked on frequently not only by our waitress but also by other staff passing by. The food was what you would expect from an Americanized Mexican restaurant. Decent size portions that were fair to the menu pricing. Everything was prepared well and tasted fresh. I very much enjoyed the salsa that came out right away. It actually had a decent amount of heat to it. By far some of the better salsa I've had at a Mexican restaurant. We also ordered margaritas and they were excellent. Be warned, the skinny margarita is a whopping $6 more than the standard house marg making it $16! Not sure why but it is and you've been warned. I will say, it was damn good though. But for a $6 savings I would just get the regular. IG: danny_fuelstherun
