Great spot on the island, service and food were both great. For the portions (large) this is a very fairly priced restaurant in the island. It was great to change up and get Mexican food, on an island with few non-American cuisine options. Nothing fancy, just good ambiance (casual), great service and awesome fish tacos.

While on vacation down at LBI this year we wanted to try someplace new and we heard GREAT things about La Bamba. Let me tell you...the hype was real and on point! We got there kind of early because we didn't want to wait and we wanted to watch the sunset. When we got there there was only one table being used so our party of five grabbed a table and passed around the beers we brought. We ordered a mix of entrees plus the triple dip and chips. We ordered a lobster quesadilla, two chicken burritos, a combo fajitas and the camarones Al ajillo (shrimp in a garlic sauce). The food was all pretty tasty and came out in a timely manner. My only negative was with my fajitas - PLENTY of beef and chicken, but vey little veggies and the ones I got were underdone. Otherwise everyone's food was great. Just remember, this is LBI so you're paying LBI prices. Also, they only serve bottled water at $2 per bottle. Our waitress was super friendly and the place seemed like it could be a lot of fun.

You know it's legit when the locals eat here. Service was perfect, place was spotless and the food was delicious!

The food and atmosphere were excellent at La Bamba. We enjoyed the generous portions and delicious entrees while dining in the cozy Mexican vibes.

The food here is DELICIOUS and authentically cooked by Rosa. Wonderful ambience too, colorful and vibrant. Burritos are huge and specials are excellent (especially lobster quesadilla, more like a grilled taco--rich, garlicky, tons of meat). Best fish tacos on the island. Also recommend the chicken tortilla soup and Mexican street corn side. The tres leches cake was a giant slice and pretty good (more cakey than milky). The fajitas smell great and usually set off the fire alarm! Mexican coke in a glass bottle along with other authentic Mexican drinks to try. You won't be disappointed here.

The food is excellent here. We had enchiladas (awesome mole),, guacamole is pretty good (could use a bit more flavor, fish tacos are amazing and so are the fajitas! The service is not very attentive, definitely needs improvement. the place is a very low-key vibe which we were looking for that night.

Highly recommend!! We went for dinner with two families -- the food was great and we appreciated byob (they offered ice bucket and bottle opener). We had a few young kids with us and the servers were so helpful and accommodating. Loved this local spot, will certainly go back next time we're in town.

They had a sign that said "soft shell crab tacos" so i walked in and ordered them. That simple. Excellent food, excellent service, i will definitely be coming back!
