Reviews for La Bamba Mexican and Spanish Restaurants in Fort Lauderdale, FL

This is was our first time Coming to La Bamba. I came with my wife and our friends. Our server was very nice and friendly. Chips... and salsa were first brought out they were delicious, it was only the start. We all got fajitas, steak and chicken and theveggie. it was all very tasty. The reason for us going to dinner at La Bamba was because I got a flat tier on the highway andwas waiting for AAA for hours no one would show. Ray stopped on the side asked if he could give me a hand with the flat. He hadit fixed in 15 minutes. I asked what he did. He said he and his family Owned the La Bamba restaurants. I wanted to try it. I'mso glad we did. It was fantastic. We will come back for sure. Great service awesome food. Read more

Stopped in with friends from out of town to share an early dinner. The margaritas were good, but kind of overpriced for what we... got. By the way you are better off ordering a pitch of the margarita as it will be a better deal. They brought chips and salsawhich were very good, both the spicy and non spicy. If you wants more chips you will be charged for them, just a heads up. Weordered the mexican pizza and quesadillas. Both plates were very tasty. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. All in all itis not a bad place for food or drinks. Will we return? I would say it is a 50/50 shot. Read more

Used to go here as a kid and the food was great. Went here for my 21st birthday dinner to show my girlfriend where we used to... eat. We couldn't finish our food. It was obviously days old and looked like regurgitated bird vomit. Clearly this place has gonedownhill. Service was bad. Food horrible. Yuck. Read more

Love this place I always get the same thing that is the chimichanga meal with a Taco on the side and the hubby always gets the... La Bamba combination and a extra taco Read more

Food was great, but the server was as dry as the tortilla chips. The food was prompt and flavourful. The fried ice cream and the... fried apple burrito was excellent. Read more

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 theMargaritas, and I was stuck between the watermelon and the blood orange. Our server explained that they were out of thewatermelon flavor, so blood orange it was! He asked if we wanted guac or cheese dip with our chips, so we opted for the cheesedip. He left to get our drinks and chips, and left us to peruse the menu. When he came back with the chips, I ordered theVerde Burro (burrito) which comes with green sauce and Monterey Jack, and hubby ordered the Burro Dinner (burrito). The foodcame 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 isample, the restaurant is clean, the food is good, and the staff are friendly. We will definitely be back! Read more
