I have been coming to La Bamba locations for years and never had any issues before. However at this location in Delray Beach I had a disturbing encounter with a kitchen employee tonight 10/11/25. I was in the bathroom washing my hands when I saw an employee with a hairnet (so he’s clearly working in the kitchen, unknown name) scooping water into his mouth, then digging his hands into his mouth, proceed to grab a paper towel, wipe off the counter, and left without washing his hands after. Being that I just ordered food, I felt very disgusted and said something to the manager. Not even 5 minutes later this man comes up to my friend and I sat at our table and put his hands on the table and stood over us, telling me he washed his hands. I told him he did not after sticking his hands in his mouth and I felt that was not safe food practice. He continued to ramble on, standing over us, making us both uncomfortable to the point that we canceled our order and had to leave. This man should not be working at this restaurant let alone in a kitchen. You have just lost a valuable, loyal customer.

My number one choice for Mexican food. Everything is usually on point here, attentive staff and there is always a manager walking around interacting with the guests. Great customer service.
Not enough customer parking. Must use valet. Pleasant atmosphere. Hostess tried to seat my party right next to another table for her own convenience, when there were plenty of other tables and booths available that would offer privacy, at least until there were more restaurant patrons that would dull the conversational noise! Then the hostess seated another party directly behind us, when there were still other seating options offering space. Restaurants should know that this practice is distasteful to patrons that come in to enjoy a meal with friends! The booths were all taken, yet the tables were empty. Hope someone is listening.
Parking: Limited free spots. Valet service after that. Not much choice.

The food was delicious, but the service felt like I was in Walmart. To add on, $4.50 for a small side of rice is absolutely insane. They need to stop price gouging people
