La Bamba Mexican and Spanish Restaurants — Restaurant in Fort Lauderdale

I recently had the pleasure of dining at El Patio, a Mexican restaurant in my neighborhood. I had heard good things about it, so I was excited to try it out. I was not disappointed!

The restaurant has a warm and inviting atmosphere. The walls are decorated with colorful murals, and the tables are covered with festive tablecloths. The staff was friendly and attentive, and they made sure that we had everything we needed.

We started our meal with the chips and salsa. The chips were warm and crispy, and the salsa was fresh and flavorful. For our main course, I ordered the enchiladas and my husband ordered the tacos. The enchiladas were filled with chicken and cheese, and they were smothered in a delicious mole sauce. The tacos were filled with grilled steak, and they were topped with onions, cilantro, and guacamole. Both dishes were excellent!

We also ordered a side of rice and beans. The rice was fluffy and flavorful, and the beans were creamy and delicious. For dessert, we shared the flan. The flan was smooth and custard-like, and it had a delicious caramel sauce.

We had a wonderful dining experience at La Bamba. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great Mexican meal. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the warm and friendly staff. The restaurant was beautifully decorated, with bright colors and traditional Mexican artwork. I was seated at a table in the corner, and my waiter brought me a basket of chips and salsa. The chips were warm and crispy, and the salsa was fresh and flavorful.

I usually keep my mouth shut....if you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all but I feel that my scandalous experience here needs to be made clear. A few of my friends from the gym and I went to La Bamba after the gym to celebrate our birthdays, we waited forever for the waiter to show up, when he did show up he took our drink order and then we waited, waited, waited and waited. When he brought out the pitchers of margaritas it was overflowing with ice. Literally there were only 3 glasses of margaritas in the pitchers, there was nearly no tequila, mainly very sweet very syrupy sour mix. Mind you they were $32.00 each, which would have been fine if there was alcohol in them and they had margaritas in them instead of overflowing ice and way to much sour mix. Then the food..... The food all came out at separate times, so much so that when the person who got their food last, the people who got heir food first were done eating. The waiter only came around about 4 times in total. THIS IS NOT BECAUSE THEY WERE BUSY......When I got up to use the restroom, he was inside lounging, not sitting, laid back lounging at a booth with a female co-worker laughing and joking"flirting". I will never go back there and strongly suggest that you don't as well unless you want bad service and over...

Wifey and I thoroughly enjoyed our date night! Amazing food and drinks with excellent service. It was our first time and we will definitely go back. Camerino was our server and he was very attentive and polite. Our food came out relatively quickly and very hot. Wifey and I both had the La Bamba Combination that came with Chicken enchilada, Chile relleno, ground beef taco and yellow rice with refried beans. Bring your appetite because the portion sizes are like eating at mama's house! I felt like this is a family restaurant where the wait staff works together to make everyone feel right at home. The bar staff is amazing and the drinks were equally Awesome! Raven is now my favorite bartender! She made us cinnamon toast crunch martinis for dessert which were AMAZING!!! I had a Mojito with dinner and wifey had a passion fruit margarita, they were made to perfection. Raven and Shirley were very friendly so we hung out for a while. To top off my night Raven made me the BEST cafe con leche! Not even exaggerating, it was perfect. This restaurant was authentic and the entire staff worked like a well oiled machine to keep the flow going. There is ample seating, to include an outdoor patio area with a bar. There is abundant parking available including a parking garage. Looking forward to...
