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.

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.

Group friendly Mexican spot. I came here for a work party and there was another large group near us…read moreso this place definitely has group dining down. 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

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.

There is a full bar which is huge and can make any drink you wish. They have some excellent specialty cocktails. We ordered the guacamole and chips before ordering delicious entrees. We also got the corn and split it so we had room for dinner. I had the rib eye special with a chimichurri sauce, spinach mashed potatoes, and veggies. The steak was perfectly medium rare and the sauce was perfection. I never had spinach mash before but felt good about getting some extra iron in my carbs. I didn't love the zucchini, (weird taste) but the other veggies were fine. My friend picked the burger and fries to satisfy their beef craving. The fries were crispy and perfect while my friend said her burger was excellent. Other friend went for the salmon and veggies, she enjoyed it and had to bring some home because it was a big serving. Last friend got the chicken rice bowl special and opted for grilled chicken instead of fried. They were super accommodating about making changes so we had exactly what we wanted. Again, big portion so she is excited to have lunch tomorrow. The music is very lively and the service is excellent. Be sure to stop in but do make reservations. We decided to grab dessert and had the lemon raspberry cake plus some of the homemade sorbet. One cappuccino and a cup of tea made us all happy and we enjoyed a nice leisurely meal. My friends had not been here before and we all plan on coming back soon. There was valet parking, so be aware and bring some cash for tips if you are so inclined.

5 Star for the Food 1 star for the service…read more I work across the street which is a 10 minute walk from our office. Arrive a 12:30pm. This is prime lunch time. This place is not prepared for more then 2 tables. took 30 minutes to get our drinks, 45 minutes to get our food. Hamburgers and Tacos. not a complicated order. 45 minutes to wait for food and they got my order wrong. I ordered Fish Tacos, saw the waitress (bar tender) write it down. Not sure how it translated to a salad??? So had to send it back and wait 20 more minutes to get my "Fish Tacos" (came out as "Shrimp Tacos"). Had to get it to go since it was over and hour and we had to get back to work. Party of 5, and I had to watch everyone eat and then I had to carry my lunch in a to go bag and eat it when I got back to the office. I kow there is good reviews listed but that must obviously be when the are fully staffed at night. Their staff today 6/16/2026. One server, Bartender, and chef. That is very poor management. multiple parties walked in while we were sitting and watch them take 15 to 20 minutes to be seated. This was the 3rd time we tried this place for lunch and it always takes 30 to 45 minutes to get food. Will be the last and we always tell our Corporate coworkers to NOT go there becuse it take way to long. You can go to Reno's right down the street with 10 people and each lunch with in an hour. Sad thing is, like I said, the food is actually pretty good
