Review La Bamba Mexican And Spanish Restaurant - Plantation

Upon entering La Bamba Mexican Restaurant in Plantation, I was instantly transported back to the early 90s. The atmosphere, while nostalgic, felt a bit congested and overly colorful. A more open space with toned-down hues could enhance the dining experience. The restaurant was bustling with customers on a Tuesday night, which initially raised my concerns about the quality of the food. However, these worries were quickly dispelled. The meal was a pleasant surprise - it may not have been the best Mexican cuisine I've ever tasted, but it was undeniably fresh and flavorful. A highlight of our visit was the service. Our server was exceptionally helpful and attentive, a remarkable feat considering the crowded setting. She frequently checked in on us, ensuring our dining experience was smooth. In summary, La Bamba provides a good dining experience with its fresh, flavorful food and excellent service. While the ambiance could use some updating, the overall experience merits a thumbs up. I'm looking forward to returning and trying more of their dishes.

Great service. Ordered mole enchiladas, chicken and skirt steak fajitas. Food was delicious. The waiter brings you a free order of chips and salsa.

This restaurant is on my regular rotation of local restaurants. I'm quite surprised I haven't ever left a review considering I have probably been here at least a dozen times. Noel was our server today; he was also our server on our previous trip and he very professional and attentive. I was quite happy to have him as our server today. The chips were fresh and the salsa was perfect as usual. I was able to try 3 different margaritas while I was there and I will say that they were all awesome. The entrees arrived in a timely manner and everything was amazing. I love there Beef chunks, I would highly recommend it. I'll post some of the photos and I look forward to a future visit in a few months. I think happy hour is Monday and Tuesday for anyone looking for half off the house margaritas, but call them to double check... I hope you enjoy this restaurant as much a do...

Always a treat to come here. Food will always do right by you, especially the fresh chips and salsa they provide on every order. The only thing was the rudeness from the front desk girls on Sunday, Nov 5 around 2-3pm, one of the girls kissed their teeth and gave an attitude because we came in from the new entrance side and no one was there to seat us. So we went to the other side where the old entrance was and was not kindly greeted but coldly instructed to go on the other side. I’d give this place a 5/5 all day if it wasn’t for the greet staff establishing such a cold and mean interaction.

Impressed!!! They renovated this space about a year ago and it's beautiful... Wide open seating. The waitresses and waiters work together to always be available....they do a great job caring for the guests. Food was amazing, hot/fresh and served fairly quick. Will definitely be back, maybe even a weekly regular. Their salsa and chips are so fresh. Refried beans recipe is amazing....must have!!!

Family favorite place to eat! Nothing special but give good portions of food. My parents love the chicken fajitas with extra sauté onions, and I love the steak burro! We do not like having to pay $5 for a second bowl of chips and salsa, which used to be complementary, but they are fresh and hot when they come out. Some servers are good and attentive. Some you can't find, and that is with anywhere nowadays!

The food is good, they serve a lot, it gets busy some times, the waiters are good, but sometimes it looks like they want to remove the dishes so quick that they interrupt your dinner time.

The fat kid in me ordered the steak, chicken, and shrimp fajitas and was not disappointed. Most the time I'm not a big fan of the veggies in fajitas. But the oinions and red bell peppers were grilled to perfection and bathed in flavor whose only draw back is that you've got to wait for the sizzle of the skillet to cool before cramming them all in your mouth. Also, the strawberry margarita was elite!

The fried pork chunks were cooked to perfection! Our waiter was super nice! Did not like the ultimate margarita as it had too much mix so I did not drink it but everything else was delicious!

Their online ordering system doesn't work! Don't use it. Several times it has lost my order, I arrive to the restaurant, and they don't have the order, and I have to wait while they make it. It used to work well two years and more back, but for the last year, it has had many problems. I've been a customer for over six years. The food is great, they have some great wait-staff who have gotten to know me over the years. Management must be good, because there is low turnover and employees seem happy. However, I'm disappointed with the online ordering, and give 4 instead of 5 stars for "Service", because I feel the staff and management just wash their hands of the online ordering issues. The owners need to change online providers, the current one is no good, or do something to fix it.

Delicious food! The portions are big enough and the flavor is great, real Mexican/latinamerican food. The price per plate is about US$14. Lots of parking and the waiters are very nice.

We eat here often. Tonight I had the beef chunk burro. And the hubby had steak a la Mexicana. Food is always delicious
