This place is amazing…read more The bartenders are fantastic. Drinks take a minute but they are so worth the wait. Watching my drink made at the bar made me feel special. The bar and wait staff do that little extra that that really elivates and delivers on the experience. I prefer my salsa thicker, however I could taste the made in house freshness. My Cocktail was thick and loaded with shrimp and vegetables. A little spice would have been nice but that's what hot sauce is for. After finding this place, l went back two days in a row. Once for just drinks and once for drinks and a small bite. I'm looking forward to returning for dinner.

I love the concept and the sheer number of options on the menu--there's something for whatever mood you're in. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and actually knew the menu (which always makes a difference). The carne asada fries came out hot, crispy, and loaded with toppings--exactly what you want. And the birria ramen? Way better than I expected. A fun twist that actually works. Will I be back? Yes. And that says a lot...because I do not enjoy driving to that side of town.

I got the birria torta which was grilled to perfection. It came with okay fast food french fries. I would have preferred chips and may ask next time (and there will be a next time) for chips instead. I also got her a large Dr. Pepper and myself a 32 oz. horchata. $43 including the tip, which may seem high to some, but considering the high quality and freshness of everything except the fries (which were fresh but not terribly exciting) and the fact that we'll get lunch AND dinner from it... Worth every penny. A hundred times better than Moe's or Chipotle. They also have street tacos, salad, and a ton of other options. The inside is clean and brightly lit. Soon they'll have their ABC permits so they'll have a full bar.

Seriously, chunks of avocado, pieces of tomato, cilantro all combined to make sure we brought the leftovers home. That is pretty hard to beat or so you would think. The chop chop appetizer of grilled jalapeños, onions and cilantro was to die for. We would have brought those leftovers home but that would imply there was something left to bring home! My significant other had chicken fajitas and I had chicken chimichangas. They were covered with a tad too much sauce but again the fact I left nothing behind makes me think I didn't mind it that much. If you are accustomed to a crispy version I would either order it sans sauce or look for something else. This isn't the cheapest Mexican restaurant I have been too but the quality makes it worth it. A solid 4.5 stars.

I love, love, love the salsa here! I could just about drink it!…read more La Bamba is in my top 3-4 places for Mexican food in Greensboro. Recently tried the quesabirrias and was not disappointed!! You really can't go wrong with any option here - although the guac isn't my fav and can be kind of runny. Always very quick and friendly service! This place is an easy "yes" when suggested for lunch or dinner!

Y'all have heard of seafood boils. Some call them Low Country Boils. I call this the LOWER Country…read moreBoil. Mariscada en Bolsa. Seafood in a bag. Not only did I have the pleasure of trying this absolutely amazing dish, I had the pleasure of having leftovers. Let me tell y'all. This? This is food. This is where culture means Cajun. This is where innovation meets culinary. A quick run down of what we're looking at here. First, I have the seafood boat. A LITERAL boat topped with a fish as the sail. Ugly fish staring at me, but absolutely delicious. Crispy. Yummy. The boat had the BEST ceviche I've ever had the pleasure of devouring. Fresh, seafoody, and scrumptious. Pair this with crab, extremely crispy fried shrimp, oysters, more shrimp, and so many things I could write a post about just this item and still feel like it's not enough. Second, I have the House Sauce Seafood Boil. Now, this is just the prototype. They're also wanting to add sausage to this, make different types, as well as do a headless shrimp version. This was... What can I say? Delicious? Juicy? Scrumptious? What I do know to say is this: I'd buy it again. It was massive, it was filling, it was messy. Last and not least, we have the Super Fajitas. 4 kinds of meat, vegetables, tortillas. This is a meat lover's dream with sour cream. Delectable. Sizzling. Fresh. Mmm. Leftovers. The fancy drink? Locarita. Pink Flamingo or something like that. That was allllll my wife's and she savored every sip. There was more than enough food here. We ended up with enough leftovers to last us a year, I swear. Try it out. Let me know. Let's geek out about fresh food from a fantastic staff with the best food, and honestly, the best family environment. Bonus picture of my wife kissing the ugly fish. She's my better half and the more adventurous eater.

Our server was great--very friendly, attentive, and definitely the highlight of our visit…read more Unfortunately, the food was a disappointment. My ceviche was dry and lacked the freshness and flavor I was expecting from a Mexican mariscos restaurant. I probably should have trusted my first impression when I arrived not a single mexican in there because the overall experience just didn't live up to expectations. If you're looking for good Mexican seafood, I'd recommend going to Marlins instead. Giving this place 3 stars mainly because our waiter was excellent and genuinely made an effort to provide great service.

Been wrestling with this review since last night... 3 or 4 stars...I Placed a carryout order…read morethrough DoorDash for myself. The Order was prepared and ready on-time when I arrived. There were 5-6 other orders in the host counter area when I arrived. I Waited 7-8 minutes for an employee to show up and tell me the pick up procedure. I'm used to showing the online order or an ID or something. They just seemed to think I knew what to do. Sorry this was my first visit. The food was very tasty, I tried the street tacos with steak and the avocado salad with grilled chicken. The cilantro, avocado, whatever is in that salad dressing is amazing! You need to bottle that and sell it!! The tacos were pretty amazing too! The portion sizes of the tacos and salad were perfect. I would not order the side of rice again. Way over priced for the size. It was honestly pretty sad... BUT My biggest issue...NO utensils or napkins included in the order. I will give it another chance in the future, that salad was pretty awesome.

We enjoyed our meal, the service and said to each other that we needed to return. We did. I did. And it's GREAT. In classic Mexican restaurant fashion, the food comes out very fast and very hot and I don't care how. Rice, beans, cheese, tortillas and sauteed peppers and onions are all over the menu and in different forms. The menu is HUGE and the prices are very very reasonable. This last time, we got the enchiladas casas (or something like that) and coyote something or another. Basically, both dishes are enchiladas topped with pork. I have to tell you something: I don't like enchiladas. At all. I don't do corn tortillas and the red sauce is definitely not my favorite because it's usually too acidic and does not match with the enchilada fillings. All of my doubts about enchiladas were erased this day. The sauce is deep and rich, the cheese plentiful and the pork juicy and flavorful. The complimentary chips are warm, the salsa is chilled and the furniture is bright and festive. I think I really have a deep affinity for this little restaurant! Monte De Rey is now my Mexican restaurant of choice. I'll return here again and again without question.

Well, guess who makes sure there's plenty of salsa verde on your plate? Good ol' Pancho Villa, that's who. I have a certain fondness for Pancho's Green Burrito, and when I ordered that dish for lunch today there was a pool of delicious green liquid literally spilling from both sides of my plate! A bit messy for the table, yes, but far better than the scant offerings of their competitor. Pancho has long been one of my most consistent dining experiences in this city, which is why it's often the target of my attention for lunch. They get patrons seated quickly and orders filled quickly. The food is always good and there's plenty of it to enjoy. The service staff does a great job of attending to the wants and needs of their diners. It's easy to see why the place is popular -- and thus why a parking spot can be tough to find around lunch time.

I had no idea they offer free cheese dip on Mondays, which is a major plus for me. Anywhere there's free queso, I'm there. Say less ...I'll be pulling up on Mondays from now on haha. I love seeing restaurants grow and improve, and you can tell they're putting in the effort. Big shoutout to them for elevating the experience. I'll definitely be back!
