CAFE LA BAMBA – Mexican
Behind a Hollywood Hotel facade at the edge of Universal Studios Florida's Hollywood district, Cafe La Bamba works a southwestern-leaning room and a Southern California take on Mexican cooking. Build a rice bowl, taco plate or salad around pollo asado marinated in garlic, orange and lime, Baja shrimp seasoned with chile, coriander and cumin, beef, pork, plant-based chorizo or portobello. Chicken taquitos and a salsa flight cover the table; tres leches closes it out. The bar pours margaritas, beer and wine. Breakfast runs privately for VIP tours before lunch opens to everyone. In season, mobile orders arrive at your table.
