" I'm so glad I found La Bamba on my recent trip! This cozy spot offers some of the best fish tacos I've ever had. The authenticity is palpable; they really do Mexican cuisine justice. The staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. While the restaurant was quite busy, and we waited a bit longer for service, it was still worth every minute. Can't wait to return!

I tried the chicken chimichanga and guacamole, and it was simply delicious. Fresh ingredients and well-prepared.
