Unpleasant Food and Service
I have never been treated this rudely at a restaurant. The food had no taste and could have been better if it was just in the frozen section of the supermarket.

How is this place still here?
It is pretty hard to make Mexican food that is just no good. This is the kind of place that put like a frozen vegetable medly into the vegetarian enchiladas. And you have to take off a few for Mexican places that charge for chips and salsa unless they're extra classy. This place must only stick around because unwitting people keep stumbling in. Too bad, it's a nice spot for a good restaurant.

Food was ok. drinks were ok, service not ok!
I went to Bamboleo with my sister who was visiting from out of town last Saturday. We decided to give the place a shot after reading the menu. The place is decorated in a sort of tacky red,green, and white (Mexican flag colors) but that's ok... I didn't mind it at all. When we got there the place was empty, and we recieved quick and courtesous service, but soon afterwards the place got packed. And as soon as it did, we were ignored by our waitress. We didn't catch her attention for about 20 mintues and when we finally did flag her down, it took literally another 20 minutes to get our 2nd round of drinks. The margartias were overproof and bland so we tried the Pina Coladas which were obvibiously straight from a can and also bland. The food was good, or maybe I was just hungry, but it doesn't excuse the really poor service and drinks. Won't go back.

DISSAPOINTING!
our teacher took us here for a great meal that we could speak spanish with the waitor etc. it was very dissapointing when we spoke in soanish in a mexican restaurant and the waitor says "i dont speak spanish"...i mean that was the whole reason we went there. on top of that the service was horrible...we asked for tortufo, "no tortufo" we ask for mandarin sodas "no mandarin sodas" the food was okay but the service was not good. if you're looking for a good restaurant i do not recommend this one =[]] also they totally destroyed a guitar to make a tip box ahha,,,its an ok atmosphere in a mexican restaurant playing pop music...

Disappointing Food
I ordered vegetable enchiladas with ‘spicy sauce’. The enchiladas were small, there was hardly any sauce and the vegetables inside were bland and undercooked.

Very Disappointing
The dishes seemed as though they were the assembly of pre-prepared, frozen or processed foods. The chicken, although I did not pay the extra dollar for white meat, was unappetizing.

Hit or Miss
I've been here a few times. One time it will be great - tasty margaritas, good service, good salsa. The next time, the waiter will be completely out of it, and the margarita will be pure sweet with no lime taste whatsoever. Stay away from the picadillo entrees - the seasoning is more italian than Mexican. But the chicken items are fine and potato quesadilla is always good.
