La Bamba Restaurant

Great atmosphere and great food. They have an excellent mix of different island classics. I had the fried yucca and the Virgin Islands combo.

I've eaten here 4 or 5 times--and fall more deeply in love with every visit. The wait time for the food can be lengthy on a crowded night, but it's always worth it. The jerk chicken is to die for. Extremely flavorful and delicious. It pairs perfectly with the rice, beans and veggies they serve it with. Highly recommend!

Very good. Waitress was pleasant and attentive. Food came out really fast and was a generous portion size. Happy with the dishes we got (curry goat and jerk lamb). They do no currently have a liquor license so are BYOB, which I consider a plus. Would definitely recommend.

The food was of great quality and the service was great. However the outdoor seating and the cleanliness of the patio was subpar. They allowed a dog to roam freely throughout the patio which is not what I want while I'm eating my lunch. I would eat here again and after seeing their happy hour menu I would try and visit during that time!

Pretty sure this is the best Caribbean food in LA, this place is total hidden gem. The furnishings are modest, all the care is put into the food. From the fresh chips and homemade spicy tomatillo salsa down to having a great cup or coffee. The pork is amazing, get the giant burrito wet or the tamales and the plantains are the best I've ever had, dessert like, and amazing. The beans you get with almost every dish and they are tender, sweet, and taste of cinnamon.
