Maybe come here for dinner and not lunch, like I did. I honestly wonder if the kitchen was just getting warmed up. I went in for lunch at noon on a Sunday. 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. read more

One of the best places to get real Mexican cuisine. I can't name one plate only because everything you try has an authentic flavor from Mexico. Service is great, from the owners and the staff. The ambience is good. Recently we had a reunion and was extremely successful. The flan is one of the best on the county. So if you want to have a great experience full of flavor and tradition stop by in the Bamba Grill in Dover or Bamba Grill ll in Boonton. read more

best tacos in the area and my favorite spot to go to on my lunch break. looking forward to trying their al pastor tacos next week.

Home sick with a chest cold. Dying for a body and soul warming soup. Got the seafood soup and I might have to go to work tomorrow. Tastes great and accompanied with rice made it even better. Steak tacos. Banging. Will try the rest of their menu soon read more

La Bamba has been a place I've wanted to try for quite a while. This Mexican restaurant moved into what was the Dover Diner a few years ago, from their original location on Blackwell Street. I had been to the diner a few years ago, and this is a huge improvement! The festive Mexican decor just makes you feel happy. We started with fresh guacamole. Our entrees included Enchiladas with green sauce, Carne Asada, and Tacos de Carnitas. We all thought the food was excellent! Service was very friendly. We all enjoyed La Bamba and will definitely be back! read more

We checked this place out based on a review saying they made the best tacos in the area. The tacos were amazing, friendly staff and clean restaurant. Will definitely return again soon. read more

I think this is one of the best places to go for tacos in the whole area. They are spot on. Super flavorful and the price is right. The deep fried tacos are also amazing. Chicken enchiladas were perfect with green sauce. I have taken 3 groups of three to this place and every one has shared they would go back. It's pretty authentic and I can't say enough about the food. Food comes out quickly but the service can be a little slow. That seems to be the norm these days. Everyone has been very kind and patient. Place usually has others in it which is a good sign. The space is decorated a lot to reflect the culture of the food you are eating. read more

Very good local spot for authentic no frills Mexican food. Tasty food. Attentive service. Had steak tacos and chicken fajitas. Guacamole was a little lacking, but the salsas are very fresh and tasty. Will be back. read more

This is my third time dining here in the past 6 months. The good: friendly service, modest prices, clean The not so good: the "fresh" salsa is obviously made with canned tomato sauce. the corn tortillas are the chalky-tasting store bought Goya kind. Not fresh! No longer an option for outdoor dining. The person I believe was either the owner/manager was not wearing a mask. Fortunately, he was sitting about 20 feet away. I went here last week and lo and behold once again did not have tamales. Apparently they only make them on Saturdays. I've been here on a Saturday and they did not have any. (the third time was not the charm.) What's the use of having them on the menu when you never have any available? I had the menudo which was real tasty and tender. Still, it was a downer that they (kitchen) refused to serve it with the tender corn kernels (hominy). I guess they can open cans of tomato sauce and goya tortilla packages but not any cans of hominy. read more

La Bamba was originally located on Blackwell Street and was one of the businesses devastated by the big Dover fire from a year ago. The new location on 46 is larger with lots of free parking. Easy to get in and out. Food is good with great prices. I've been there a few times and enjoyed what I ate each time. read more

La Bamba Grill - Enchilada Verde dish - Mexican Near Me - Dover, New Jersey

I ordered the bisteck A la Mexicana $10 and the carne Asada $9 from here and the bill came out to $37. They didn't individually put the order down on the receipt and just lumped it onto a bill with the sum being $37. I called and told them that I was being overcharged but they just said "our meat prices went up." When I told them it was an $18 difference they just kept saying the meat prices went up and tried to deflect. I understand things are rough right now, and I really don't like complaining, especially when I want to help support small businesses, but I strongly encourage anyone to be very cautious with ordering from here and make sure they are keeping track of what they are charging you with. I am very upset since the food is pretty good, but I will not be giving them my business anymore. Be careful when ordering and paying through the phone. read more

Excellent food! Quality and service. Very authentic and fresh!!! Delivery super fast!

Today I order some tacos al pastor and pozole, the tostadas that comes with the pozole were AMAZING! As well the tacos My only suggestion is to change the salsas, since salsa is the key for excellent tacos. I think they should make it a little creamer. Other than that the food was amazing read more

Just passing through and decided to check it out. Love Mexican and this is one of the best Mexican restaurants at which I've ever eaten! The sopes are to die for! Service was super nice and friendly as well as accommodating of our request! read more

The shrimps were clean and food was fresh! We also had tue flan and that was the icing on cake! We will be back dinner or breakfast! read more

The food is okay. But the delivery drive is is reckless. He hit and ran my dog. And the guy never apologized.

The place is fantastic! The food comes out pipping hot, and everything was delicious! My kids who are very picky eaters enjoyed their meals. One thing tho is that my husband didn't speak Spanish and I found myself having to translate everything our waitress said. Very friendly and helpful tho. read more

Great food, with wonderful atmosphere and decor. I followed a waitress from another restaurant to LaBamba, and I'm so glad I did. I love the family atmosphere, and the new location. Been there several times, and we always receive stellar service, but most recently had a small party for my niece who specifically requested LaBamba all the way from Sussex County. She was turning six, and the whole experience was great, and the staff made us feel like family. Recommending this place to everyone. read more
