  We have been here many times before but this time was the worst. The food was not as good as usual, the salsa was bland and runny and the chips were very greasy. My taco salad was very watery and also very bland...and hubby's nachos were skimpy on the chicken and flavorless. He had wanted beans on the nachos and was told that to add .30 of beans would cost 1.25. No thanks. The biggest issue was our server. She was clueless. After the discussion about the beans/nachos she pretty much ignored my hubby altogether. We asked for napkins, she brought ONE. We asked for straws, she brought ONE. We had to ask twice for the lemon for our sweet tea...and it just kept on like that. When the bill came, she put it on front of him and he slid it over to me while she was watching. I put my card on the tray and she came back to take it and then came back with the bill to sign...AND SHE PUT IT IN FRONT OF HIM AGAIN. He said to her "it's her card" and slid it back to me. Oy!
  The last straw was that she came back to the table and took the bill and her tip (we only left $2 on a 20.00 tab) off the table while we were still there!! Bad form!! We will NOT go back there...La Parilla or El Rodeo are much better.

  I’ve visited La Bamba on many occasions and always had a pleasant experience, making this my “favorite Mexican place.” When I invited some friends to experience it with me, I expected to have a wonderful evening with the delicious food and friendly service I was accustomed to. One of my friends, however, asked for “no shrimp” in his meal. They brought out his fajitas with shrimp and he politely asked they remake the meal because of an allergy to shellfish. The took the dish back and about five minutes later brought out another dish with no shrimp. About 10 minutes into our meal, my friends had difficulty breathing and his mouth and chest were burning up. That’s right. Instead of remaking the dish, they simply picked the shrimp out of the meal and re-served it.
  
  I am not typically the type of person to complain, but when a restaurant fails to uphold the very basic standards of food safety, I am unhappy. The fact is, every time you go to a restaurant, you literally place your life in their hands. If La Bamba does not understand the importance of adhering to food allergy requests, which is akin to putting poison on someone’s plate, then I must wonder what other basic food safety issues they overlook. Have they ever heard of cross-contamination? I don’t know. The point is, now I would have to wonder every time I walked in the door, which I most definitely will never do again. After all, I value my health. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Not only did they needlessly and knowingly endanger my friend’s health, we never saw a manager and nothing was ever done to show any remorse or regret or even offer a remedy for the situation. Just a quick, “I’m sorry. I’ll tell the cook… here is your check.”
  
  If you enjoy gambling with your health, eat here at your own risk. As for this former regular… never again.
