Delicious food at a cafeteria style restaurant. We ordered several times here and they were all amazing. Being from nyc we found the prices to be very affordable since nyc is so much more expensive. I would recommend this place to anyone that wants to eat great Cuban food

La Bamba is hands down one of the best Cuban restaurants I’ve ever been to! From the moment you step inside, you feel like you’ve traveled back in time, thanks to its nostalgic and charming ambiance. It’s an experience that’s as much about the vibe as it is about the food. Speaking of the food, everything on the menu is absolutely delicious. The Cuban sandwiches are out of this world—perfectly toasted with just the right balance of flavors. And don’t leave without trying the flan; it’s smooth, creamy, and the perfect sweet ending to your meal. The staff and the owner are exceptional. They are incredibly attentive, making sure you’re comfortable and happy with every aspect of your visit. Their hospitality truly sets this place apart. Best of all, the prices are very budget-friendly, making La Bamba a spot you’ll want to visit again and again. Whether you’re there for a quick bite or a long meal, you’ll never be disappointed. Highly recommend!

Wow! Some of the best Cuban food I've had! And it's an extremely reasonable price. This is a must visit if you're into Spanish food! The employees are all very nice and friendly. And there is a lot of room for seating with side rooms that are good for larger groups as well. As soon as I saw the photos for this restaurant I knew I had to try it!

Ordered over the phone, my cuban sandwich was ready when I arrived which was good because I was in a rush to catch my flight. Owner supports military personnel which is a plus for me. Cuban sandwich one of the best I've tasted. Definitely coming back here when I am in the area.

Had a layover in Tampa for the day. Stopped in and picked up a Cuban sandwich, Cafe con leche, plantains, beans and rice. All were very good. Prices and portions were amazing. Highly recommend and will be back if I’m ever in Tampa.

Delicious food, at very fair prices, in an authentic place. I had both the Cuban sandwich and the Western Omelette. Both delicious and generous portions! A great option for breakfast if you’re staying in a local hotel.

We stopped here for breakfast while visiting the area. The restaurant was easy to find as it was near our hotel. They also had plenty of parking. We ordered the Breakfast special which was quickly served. The meal was nice and hot and perfectly cooked. This is the first time I've ever received perfectly cooked over medium eggs! They were delicious and cooked to perfection. The bacon and bread was also delicious. The portions were very large for the price. Everything were very reasonably priced, great value for the portions.
