We waited less than 15 minutes on a weekend night at dinner time. The food, service, and atmosphere were wonderful. Generous portions, well prepared and presented, scrumptious taste. We ordered a little more to take some home with us for the next day. We highly recommend La Bomba Read more Read less

Still, the staff managed to prep 6 jibaritos, 2 entrees, and 6 frituras in a very short time. They were friendly (fast & friendly is a win-win), and even accepted my certificate--because I had a large order (they are only accepting dine-in certs at this time)! Will be returning soon!

Service was not good, they didn't bring water to the table after I asked twice. They had no forks, knives or spoons at the table I also had to request these items. The food had a lot of fat I could not enjoy it I was picking out a lot of fat and so was my husband. We order a Jibarito and mofongo with carne frita. Was expecting more out of this restaurant.
