La Bamba was recommended to me by some friends and it sounded alright.
Food: The food was alright - neither good nor bad-, except that the two mains we ordered were brought to us a whole 25 minutes apart from each other.
Drinks: Ordered a Sex on the Beach and a Long Island Ice Tea. Now a Long Island Ice Tea is normally served in a Jumbo glass, not a Long Drink glass - but I can live with it. But a Long Island Ice Tea is known to be a potent drink and this one certainly didn't taste that way. Not impressed. The Sex on the Beach was mediocre at best. Not impressed, better to spend 5 kuai more in Lush next door and get proper ones.
Service: Friendly, but not too competent. I don't expect Chinese service staff to speak English, but I would imagine it should be possible to learn to understand the names of the most common items on the menu. For example: Cocktail names (Long Island Ice Tea, never heard of it, Tacos: big question mark). Now my Chinese isn't too bad, but I really don't know the names of Mexican food in English 
Overall: I can imagine that the specials can be quite attractive, but if you are going for a casual meal and drinks I really wouldn't recommend it.
