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.

We got the al pastor and lengue tacos. This al pastor did not come with pineapples, but the meat was juicy regardless. The lengue tacos were on the drier side but still had a nice chew and were flavored ok. Not the best tacos I've had (I'd say Cali does them better and cheaper), but still a good option in northwest Jersey!

The cashier knew the menu, so he knew to clarify if I wanted a taco platter or just three tacos. They handed me a beeper so I wouldn't have to stand in a crowd. But the ingredients didn't come through. My tacos had cilantro, raw onion, a guacamole sauce, and steak - pretty classic, standard combination. Unfortunately the steak was of middling quality - easily worse than Chipotle's, which is a good standard - and I didn't feel the flavor either. On top of that the hard shells were all stale. I guess I'll try the newly opened Cuban Eddie's the next time I'm at the mall.

They are connected with the adjacent Cafelombia counter. I placed an online order for pickup from Lola's recently and ordered the Grilled Chicken Soft Tacos ($12 plus tax) served with Mexican rice and black beans. The place was very busy when I arrived. When they got to my order, I watched the cook prepare the sizzling chicken on the grill, similar to a hibachi grill and make my 3 soft tacos. The grilled chicken soft tacos had tender pieces of grilled chicken, cilantro and onions in warm double wrap corn tortillas and limes and verde sauce on the side. The Mexican rice was cooked firm and not mushy. The black beans were cooked firm too. The flavors of the food were pretty good.

Fajitas were a great combo of shrimp, beef and chicken with loads of tasty vegetables, side of rice and beans. My wife had shimp quesadilla that was equally as good. Oh, and the margaritas was good. Not too sweet. Portions were generous enough that we both went home with extra. We left saying that this was among the best Mexican food in the area. One downside was that although we were told, a second bowl of chips had an upcharge.

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

The portions were really big, leaving plenty of leftovers. We ordered the chicken sandwich, penne vodka with chicken, pechuga a la Columbiana, pechuga empanizada, fried plantains, and yellow rice. All of the dishes felt subpar in flavor. While nothing was bad, it all felt very average. I enjoyed the mushroom sauce with the chicken, but nothing stood out in the flavor. The pechuga empanizada felt a tad over cooked as well. We also ordered the tres leches which followed a similar theme of not having much flavor. Id likely give this place another shot to see if the experience dining in is better.

We went to Tequila 55 and were very unhappy with the food and the service. First we were told to…read morepick a table (there were about 2 other occupied tables - mostly empty). The waiter asked us for our drink orders which was fine (Seltzer). Then we went to order the food and the waiter never asked the other two people I was with what they wanted. The complimentary chips and sauce which was not salsa but more of a crema blend was ok but the chips were not salted and not fresh. Probably fried the day before. The guacamole came out cold and unflavored (no salt lime or cilantro). So we cancelled the order and told them we would pay for the drinks and the guacamole but they left us sitting there with out a bill. So we added what the items cost and left $20 for the things we did receive but did not like. They did not seem to know how to handle the disappointed customers.... so unless you like flavorless Mexican food I would not waste your time. There are better places to go in Dover for good authentic Mexican food.
