La Bamba Jarocha
La Bamba Jarocha Restaurant is a very local place that is well established in Playa. It is not in the tourist area, and you won’t find too many tourists here but can be worth checking out. It is an open-air restaurant with beaded bamboo curtains around the outside with fans going inside. You will hear Mexican music and see families that like to come here for a beer, tortilla chips with salsa and some seafood.
The food is not the nuevo cuisine of Mexican style but rather the old tried and true flavors that locals like. It is sweet tasting seafood cocktails and fish done a variety of Mexican styles.

About The Author
I ate here several times when I was recently there. One of my favorites, as I really like their tres leches cake y pescado entero. I got the shrimp ceviche, but like Pirata and MANY places in PDC, they must cook the shrimp first before adding the lime, so I pass on the shrimp ceviche. it’s tough to find Shrimp ceviche that isn’t cooked first in PDC…
