Loooove their empanadas and their taco salad. The best food and service around. Also their horchata is sweet and fresh!

First time getting food here and I was not disappointed. I’ve seen them over the years while on vacation and always wanted to try them and so glad I did. We were just grabbing a quick lunch so I opted for a burrito, and chose the Burrito De Mariscos. I have to say it was one of the best, most flavorful burritos I’ve had. The blend of seafood (which was cooked perfectly) with the rice and beans and spices was delicious. And it was big enough to share or get two meals out of it. There was no chips and salsa that you get at some places with takeout, but that wasn’t an issue for me today. I’ll definitely be back to try other things.

Best food on the island. Always busy so service takes a little. I recommend take out because it can get hot and smoky in the restaurant

Our large party of 9 came for dinner. Everything was delicious, service excellent, highly recommend!
Seems like everywhere on the island is like this.. mediocre service and top tier food. I don't particularly mind it. The people are nice enough and it feels kind of like part of the experience of visiting LBI.Softest steak I've ever had. Delicious and melts in your mouth. Unexpectedly amazing.Check your emotional expectations and enjoy the food I guess
Would go agian because the food was amazing. I had the chicken soup, burrito de pollo, and mixed fajitas. Chicken soup was okay tasted like chili from Wendy's. Burrito de pollo was very good and testy with a bit of spiciness. Mixed fajitas was good aswell. Everything was cooked well with alot of sauce. We walked in and saw the sign we need to wait to be seated but the workers didnt even acknowledge us. When i asked how long they kept on saying couple minutes but ended up being about 30 minutes. We placed the order immediately after being seated and the food took about another 25 minutes. The food was decently priced. Overall would definitely recommend because of how good the food is but the service could be much better.

La Bamba is an absolute gem that has brought the vibrant flavors of Mexico to the shores of Long Beach Island. From the moment I walked in, I was transported by the lively and inviting atmosphere. The staff were not only friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, making recommendations that perfectly suited my tastes.Now, let's talk about the food. Wow! Each dish I tried was a masterpiece of flavors and textures, showcasing the skill and passion of the chefs. Whether it was the mouthwatering tacos, the sizzling fajitas, or the delectable churros for dessert, every bite was a celebration of authentic Mexican cuisine.What truly sets La Bamba apart is their commitment to using the freshest ingredients, which elevates every dish to a whole new level. The presentation was stunning, and you could tell that every detail was carefully considered. I left the restaurant with a full belly and a happy heart, already planning my next visit.If you're searching for a dining experience that combines exceptional service, a lively ambiance, and a menu that pays homage to the rich flavors of Mexico, look no further than La Bamba Mexican Restaurant on LBI. It's a must-visit for anyone who appreciates the artistry of culinary excellence.
One of my favorite places on Lbi!
