    Muy buena comida. Exquisito sabor. Fresca y apetecible. Las meseras un poco rudas, y muestran cierta rivalidad entre ellas. Pero vale la pena visitar el lugar. Felicidades a los cocineros.

    We have been going here for DECADES! They have literally been here since I was a kid and they have the best salsa and chips in the universe. I could easily eat two buckets of those and they come complimentary!! Other than that, I love their chimichangas and quick service.

    La Bamba is always our "go to"...because of their tasty food, their fast service, and the staff is always welcoming. If you've never been, give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

    I had a great experience at La Bamba Mexican and Spanish Restaurants Federal. The burritos were flavorful and the salsa and chips were fresh. The margarita bar offered tasty drinks and the prices were very reasonable. Friendly service and a comfortable atmosphere made it a pleasant visit. Would definitely come back again.

    I forget this locations exist, but thank God it does. We had very bad Mexican food the night before and needed to redeem our tastebuds. La Bamba is the place for you if you like authentic Mexican food, delicious flavors and great service. The decor is definitely very dated and could benefit from some updates. Also, I noticed the Hostesses still using pen and paper for seating, pretty old school, but it works. Open Table has a good system, maybe consider them when making updates. Our server was wonderful (I wish I remembered her name, she was an older woman with a small brace on her left hand). Her service was very energetic, professional, timely, conversational (but concise) and very kind. We ordered: Super Nachos - I was taken aback when I realized it only came with 8 chips...but it was so delicious and worth it. Every bite was perfect and you didn't have to fight to get toppings. Plus you already get a free basket of chips when sat, you can just combine it. And it's only $5 for unlimited chips. They were warm, delicious and crispy. Chile Relleños - My husbands standing order. Delicious every time! Mexican Pizza - A different concept, but delicious. There was a lot of veggies, but very flavorful. Combo Plate (Chicken Burrito + Chuck Steak Enchilada) - Wow! So good. I love Chuck Steak and this did not dissapoint! Very tender and flavorful. I definitely appreciated the amount of cheese! And wow, the refried beans are PREFECT. If I had to complain about anything, its just the colors of the plate. Everything is delicious of course, but everything is beige or yellow. The appearance can definitely benefit from cilantro (or some type of green herb) sprinkled for some color and life. All around, great food and understated decor, and wonderful staff. We'll 100% be back. Thank you.
