We've gone twice to Las Bugambilias and I'd go again! The restaurant is very clean! The service has always been very good. The food is terrific and very fresh. The Mole sauce is really a wonderful deep flavor you know took hours to produce ! Looking forward to our next visit and finding other gems on the menu!
We were the only table at noon on Super Bowl Sunday! Our hostess was our waitress who also made our drinks. And she was fabulous. Great colorful decor and the food was fantastic. I loved my brunch plate w/scrambled eggs, chicken entombata (like enchiladas) and mini pancakes (banana blueberry) plus the orange spiced coffee was tasty and different. I'll come back to try the Mexican ice cream and other deserts.
Delicious, filling Tamales! Mexican hot chocolate is thick, creamy and made upon order. It only has a slight hint of spices so perfect for kids or people who cannot handle spicy food.
Delicious nachos alert!! All the makings of a great plate - queso that was oh so stringy and savory, pico that added the right amount of freshness, and pickled jalapenos for that much needed kick. Topped with the most tender steak thats been seared well before cutting. Cannot go wrong with getting these. If you still have a lil room in your stomach after, come here on a tuesday to get $3 all day - while they aren't gonna knock your socks off, whatever meat you get will be well cooked, and their house habanero salsa (that you have to ask for) saves everything.
I love the decor and energy in this place. We were seated immediately. Our server was helpful and very nice. The bartender is skilled! I had a Paloma and my husband had an old fashioned, both were delicious! We split a shrimp salad that was a special that day and it was very tasty. My daughter enjoyed an order of churros and hot cocoa, cleaned her plate. I would return if in the area again.
