    Salmon w salad
    Scott J.

    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.

    Tacos

    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.

    Shrimp Ceviche, Steak tacos, Chicken taco, Fish taco, shrimp tacos, and Guacamole with Chichiron Shrimp!

    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.

    The fish tacos are amazing! Cool little spot to hang out and enjoy an ojo rojo. The music playlist was great as well.

    Pepperoni and pineapple pizza was good 7/10..

    Really good shrimp tacos and ceviche + sauces LOVED THE TUNA CARNITAS WITH CHIPOTLE SAUCE (ate before I took photos) Good service too

    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!

    Pork belly tacos?
    Sherry J.

    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!

    Seafood tower and pina colada ( with alcohol)

    Good portion of food with reasonable price and food came fast without long wait Service also nice and I am glad that's high chair.

    Decent food. I'm sure the seafood options were really fresh but only so so. Servers were amazing but otherwise not that memorable of a meal.

If you want beautiful…read morescenery, high quality seafood, and a less-touristy atmosphere in the hotel zone, check this place out! Waiters speak Spanish and English, are very friendly, and absolutely no wait for the waterfront table. The shrimp ceviche had so many shrimp with a tasty sweet sauce and avocado garnish. Guacamole was perfectly prepared, and all meals come with tortilla chips and a variety of salsas on a decorative boat tray. The tuna steak and Salmon with Lime Sauce were prepared perfectly and were both tasty and high quality. Sadly, the food was so delicious and filling we had no room to try the desserts. About a block away from the Isla Mall, but a much more authentic experience than the mall restaurants. A must-try dinner spot for seafood lovers in the Cancun hotel zone.

    Awesome. Nothing new for Cancún eats on Hotels Kukulcán…read moreBlvd. Totally dug the wide variety of fresh selections sitting at this gorgeous beachfront locale. From varying tortas, quesadillas, & burritos; to seafood risotto's & shiny tuna steaks.. (get the Camarones à la Mexicana). (Needs to get the Octopus off menu; cmon.) Check out the outdoor cabana-style comfortable seating area next to the joyful boat dock. Service is quick, efficient, extremely friendly, and informed.. as expected ;)

They start you with complimentary chips and a seafood soup. Both were very good, there were three types of dips for the chips. 2 were spicy one was not. My wife ordered the octopus tacos and they were excellent. The octopus was chargrilled but not burned, very tasty. The soft shell crab was very good, the flavors all complimented each other. The pizzas looked great so we got the lobster pizza knowing we'd have leftovers. The pizza is different but good. The mac n cheese was very yummy as well, we really enjoyed it. While we were there they had live music and I was able to get them to play Brown Eyed girl for my wife. It was an excellent dinner and experience. Very close to giving it 5 stars, it is a little pricey but it's upscale food with an amazing interior and view.

We ventured outside of the resort to experience local cuisine and we could not have picked a better place. It's located right on the water so there was a nice breeze where we were sitting. The service and the food was absolutely incredible. Everyone in my party was very happy with their experience there. 5 stars is not enough!
