Welcome to La Dama

“ My first encounter with La Dama was at an event. They had a great veggie dish in a parking lot full of meat dishes. Based on that my mom and I decided to visit the restaurant recently. We did not have a reservation, but we lucked into seats at the bar. We'll know to book ahead moving forward, because this is a small restaurant. The space is dark and moody, with fun art. There's a second small dining area in the back. We started with the queso - their version includes burrata and crab. Who can resist that? It was excellent, although like so many places, there were just a few pieces of toasted bread served with it. My dish was an appetizer, as was my mom's, but they were more than adequate sized to eat as a meal. Both were very good and reasonably priced. Mine seemed a little salty and I am a person who likes a lot of salt. A to-go order we brought home of pork was also much appreciated by the eater. Our cocktails were good as well. The bartender provided solid service and menu insight. ”

“ My three girlfriends and I went to La Dama Mexican Kitchen & Bar in Walker's Point for dinner Friday night. A reservation is definitely needed for this cute and quaint restaurant! We ordered the guacamole, which was refreshing and pretty! I loved the pomegranate seeds and fruit on top. We each order the three taco dinner, my favorite tacos were the Tampiqueno (hangar steak) and the Pastorcito (guajillo glazed pork belly). They were flavorful, well-balanced, and the meat was very good quality and tasted great. I love how everything was seasoned. The staff were very friendly, including the cooks, who you can see when you arrive and leave the restaurant. ”

“ I've driven by La Dama several times and finally had a chance to stop in and try their food. I'm not sure what I pictured for the interior, but it was definitely cozy and laid out well to maximize their limited space (plus a few seats at the bar - where I sat). I didn't realize going in that the menu would be at a higher price point. I was skeptical about $8 tacos and as much as I wanted to mentally reprice them - once I ate a taco, I switched my mind, these are appropriately priced. I got 3 Pancita tacos (guajillo rubbed roasted pork belly...) and I still think about how impressed I was with these. In addition, I ordered Chillitos Rellenos (egg battered stuffed jalapenos with duck carnitas...) as an appetizer and after the first two plates, it wasn't hard to entice me to try dessert. Just three options on the menu, the bartender called attention to the Tarta de Arandanos and it was a great choice. If you're looking for a date night spot, this would be a good fit. ”

“ Great service. Love the cute outdoor patio. However the inside is very small. We opted for the guacamole and chips which was okay but the chips were very salty. Then we tried two specials: the fall stuffed poblano and the barbacoa tacos. I very much enjoyed the deconstructed barbacoa tacos! Their basic margarita was a little sweet for my liking. Their other cocktails were okay but would have liked to see more cocktails featuring tequila. ”

“ La Dama had been on my list for quite sometime, finally made a reservation & was so glad we did! The place was bustling on a warm Saturday night. We were seated indoors, right next to the host/ess stand which is in the middle of the dining area. We felt a bit cramped with so many people coming to check in, & it got to be a bit loud & hard to hear each other. All things aside, the food & service made up for it all! We started with the guacamole & aguachile rojo-very fresh start to our meal! For our entree, I chose the lamb shank birria-FAB-U-LOUS! It's hard to find lamb shank on the menu anywhere, so when I find it, I order it! Perfectly balanced, savory, umami goodness. My friend had the sea bass special & said it was delicious! I will return in the near future, but will ask to be seated on the patio. ”
