    La Bamba is one of the best drinks I’ve had in such a long time, with the menu. Fresh tortilla chips with a great seasoning and amazing salsas Thankful, this place is just down the street from us. Though I miss blind pig, I love the twist that they took on the food here. Highly recommend it

    No Happy Ending 😞Service was wonderful by Maria & Oscar who assisted with finding flowers and saving special table by the water for a special date. However, unfortunately the waiter didn’t seem to want to be there or just didn’t care. He was was clearly watching us but no water, no offer for expensive drink re-orders, the bill could have been doubled. ( I needed drinks for the lady 😉) No checking on us, and no desert! Said you were closing. It was around 7pm. I finally had to insist. He wasn’t too happy about that. My lady loves this place and patronizes very often. She was very unhappy & apologetic for waiters service. The food was great! Sea food enchiladas. Sat night 3/1 5pm.
