Review of La Bamba Mexican & Spanish Restaurant

La Bamba is inarguably the best Mexican restaurant in Delray Beach, Florida. In fact, pretty much all of South Florida, with its rich family history, delectable food and drinks, comfortable environment, and pleasant staff. A restaurant that remains open late at night (11:30 am to 10:00 pm), serving delicious Tex-Mex cuisine. La Bamba is an accurate embodiment of the American dream. The history is inspiring and the food magnificent.

History of the restaurant

Established in 1988, La Bamba Mexican & Spanish Restaurants are the embodiment of the American dream. In the early 80s, the humble Molina family migrated to the US from their home in El Salvador to secure their future.

The Molinas strived day and night, and after years of struggle, their devotion and diligence paid off as they were able to open their first restaurant in Inverrary, Lauderhill. This eatery employed most of the twelve Molina sisters and brothers. Working at the restaurant together helped the family establish an unbreakable bond with each other.

Today, La Bamba has 6 locations in South Florida, and the most prominent location can seat up to 234 people. At each of the La Bamba locations, one brother works in the kitchen while the other sibling works in the dining room. Even though the twelve siblings are separated by geography, they have only grown closer to each other in the past three decades.
