I read a comment here about how this ranked right up there with Mexican food found in SoCal. I lived in SoCal for over 2 decades, and I was excited to give La Banda a try because of this particular review. Portions were comparable, but in my opinion, that is as far as it goes. Taste of both our entrees was rather bland, as was the guacamole. Seemed to be a popular location as every table was filled and people were waiting all the while we were there. Thankfully, our Foodie Card saved us $10 on the total. I will continue my search for an authentic Mexican restaurant here in the Toledo area that truly ranks up there with so many of the Mexican food establishments in SoCal. read more

Went for dinner yesterday with 8 friends. Each of us had something different and there were raves all around. I had the steak a la Mexicana. Steak was not huge, but I still took some home after. Guacamole salad was excellent, as were the rice and refried beans. We got there at 5 pm and it was nearly empty. By 6 it was packed with lots of happy people. read more

This establishment is in a strip mall in a small town and is the anchor of the strip. The decor is over the top and the atmosphere is dull. I ended up not eating because I just wasn't feeling the place. It's to wide open for my liking. It reminds me of a cafeteria. The staff and service were perfectly fine and accommodating. I just didn't get a good vibe and had one beer and left. read more

I accidentally found this restaurant one afternoon when I decided to make a random trip to Waterville. Nestled inside a plaza near Kroger this place is more of a hidden gem than its surroundings. For starters, this place was packed on a Saturday afternoon and I was surprised when I was seated quickly! The waitress was super nice and attentive during my visit. The food... AMAZING. It was fresh, made to order and was well prepared. The only thing I'd like for them to do is actually USE seasoning! The food was good but if thru used actually seasoning the food would be exceptional! read more

My family's go-to Mexican joint. Primarily because it's so dang close to us, but more importantly nice peeps and good food. Everything is above average, but the street tacos they have are one of the best in town. There are (what I personally consider) better overall Mexican restaurants around town. (In fact, it's really surprising how many decent Mexican restaurants are out here... What's funny tho, is that there isn't THAT ONE Mexican restaurant with all authentic Mexican menu.. Every place does something right, but others wrong) But as far as the Mexican style street tacos goes, La Banda (Bamba) has them down right! Until the day I can find the likes of El Taurino in L.A., my search for authentic Mexican place continues.. read more

Staff are super friendly and it's nice to have so much parking next to Kroger's. They give the table complimentary chips and salsa which is nice to snack on. I had the speedy Gonzalez which was off the lunch section. It includes a beef taco, beef enchilada, and rice or beans. It was ground beef and this was nothing special. Someone else ordered the huevos chorizo which was good. Don't forget to order yourself a golden margarita tho! I would give this place a 3.5/5.

Today was my second visit, at noon on a Friday. Not busy when I arrived, but several customers came in a few minutes after I did. Service was fast and friendly, same as before. My entree today (steak street tacos) was better than my last meal...but not by much. The mexican rice and refried beans just don't do anything for me. The beans were almost liquid. Maybe I just don't have the proper appreciation for what authentic Mexican food should be. Maybe I'm spoiled by a long association with Ventura's. That's where I'll be going tomorrow to get this bad taste out of my mouth. The next time I go to the Kroger plaza, I'm going to toss my Labanda gift card on the sidewalk in front of the door so someone can use up the 3 bucks and change that is still available...because I have no desire to return. He/she will be able to have one marg on me. read more

I have nothing bad to say about Carlos's Waterville location...well there is one little thing...see…read moremy tip. But in general, like his Perrysburg location, and his place downtown (Toledo), this is an excellent restaurant. Is the food authentic? Probably not, but personally, I couldn't care less. Tex-Mex and Toledo-Mex are good enough for me. (Besides, authenticity is overrated. After all, would you want to go to a Brazilian restaurant and find atta laevigata on your plate? Hell no, I'd say). My man Deadpool would LOVE this place, because Carlos makes one of the best chimichangas in the city. Also, what he can do with pineapple and cactus, you need to taste in order to believe. The salsa is made with the same recipe that he uses at his two other establishments, and, it's the best salsa in the city. It's made from scratch two times per day, and you can really taste the freshness. The service, at least at the bar, was perfect; it was fast, friendly, and accurate. The building that houses the restaurant was built in 1840. Suffice it to say, this restaurant is not located in a strip mall. The atmosphere is dynamite. Do yourself a favor and check it out, along with Peddler's Alley. I/we will definitely be returning. 5 stars.

At first glance, I wasn't sure if it was a takeout place or a restaurant, but I could see it was a dine-in restaurant upon entering. The ambiance is rather dark but with a pleasant atmosphere with colorful decor. I was surprised that there weren't more people there at prime lunch time. I was promptly seated and served with tortilla chips and salsa while I reviewed the menu. The chips were thicker than I prefer and the salsa was rather thin/watery for my taste. The flavor of the salsa, however, was good. I ordered the lunch "Special Burrito" with shredded chicken and guacamole salad. It was promptly served. I would have preferred an entree with beans and rice but my server informed me that the beans were fried in lard; I'm not a fan of lard and there were no other bean options. The chicken burrito was decent and the guacamole was fresh. The fresh guacamole was the best part. I added some of the watery salsa to give the dish more flavor, but it mixed with the watery bland creamy red sauce that was already part of the burrito. It wasn't bad aside from the watery texture but definitely nothing I would crave. It was a fairly quick lunch that cost approximately $7.50 (only water as a beverage) before tip. I might stop in again if in the area, but might also keep driving. I've posted a picture of my lunch below.

Table we were at was wiped clean except for middle of table which was greasy and dirty. Our regular server Sandra was not working due to an injury to her arm.

I kind of thought the nicer tables would have been saved for folks that made reservations. The waitress took forever to take our drink orders. It took forever to get the drinks. We ordered our meals when the drinks came so we could try to get ahead of the curve. The soup/salads came and before we could finish, the main courses started coming out. This really upsets me. Take forever to take our orders and then rush us out the door. Dinner rolls are available, but one has to ask for them. It's in very small print on the menu. Why the server can't ask if the diners would like bread is B.S. I know their method saves them money, but I think they could change their practice and still keep the lights on. The prime rib was tough and not very flavorful this time. The server didn't bus any of the salad or soup dishes, so the table was an overly crowded mess by the end. Seriously, to have to keep your side towards the middle of the table is just a P.I.T.A. Not sure how much potato fell off of my fork on its way to my face.

A good steak, but not great and maybe not even very good. My wife's scallops were very good and came with a great corn relish underneath. The sides must be ordered separately. We got the mashed potatoes and those were absolutely excellent-- probably also too much butter, but that just makes potatoes better. We got the feta appetizer and that was good, but very thick in our mouths. My wife had the leftovers for lunch and found it better as it's own meal The service was simply great. They knew we wouldn't finish the feta and had it boxed and bagged with extra toast before we were done with our entrees. Nice, attentive, detailed. We both looked at the cocktails and wines and saw nothing that interested us. We're not big drinkers, but were surprised. Usually an expensive place has something for us. The tables are very large. We were on a date, but we felt too far to have an intimate conversation. My wife skipped a few topics because it felt too public to talk about them. I do not disagree with paying a lot for exceptional food. I came in expecting to drop $200 on dinner. I wanted to wine and dine my lovely wife. But Benchmark was not exceptional. It was above average. And when I'm trying to decide between 3 and 4 stars, feeling as though it's not worth the price makes me drop to 3. It would have been 4 stars at $100 or maybe $150.

One of the worst Taco Bell locations apart from Maumee. Brand new building and somehow has poor…read moreservice, low quality food served cold, and insanely dumb wait times.

Great service, fresh, hot food, clean store, nice location. One of the best Taco Bell locations…read moreI've been to in a LONG time. I recommend the grilled cheese steak burrito, tacos, and cruch wrap. Also, the strawberry lemonade is set to a perfect mix.
