Reviews La Mama Latin Tapas Bar & Restaurant

vegan 🌱 options clearly marked on the menu. Daniele the owner was lovely and really looked after us and explained all the dishes. Myself and @thesheffieldvegan shared some dishes: Sopaipillas al Pebre - fried pumpkin 🎃 bread 🍞 with a delicious garlicy 🧄 tomatoey 🍅 salsa dip. One of my favourite dishes a bit like nachos with the crunchy texture. Champignons rellenos They kindly adapted the mushrooms 🍄 to be veganised 🌱 with advanced notice 😁 they were delicious and a generous portion too! These days vegan cheese 🌱 🧀 is easily available, so if they did want to introduce a vegan/dairy free option to their menus it would be fab and definitely encourage more vegans & dairy free patrons to dine here. Albóndigas Veganas - vegan meatballs it was really nice to have these seitan & soy meatballs as a protein option with yummy basil oil on top a great texture and plenty of sauce. 😋 Porotos Verdes - fried green beans They were delicious, well flavoured with smoked paprika, oilve oil and pine nuts but a little too salty for my tastebuds but others may find it ok. Arroz - rice The meatballs in sauce went well with the rice, it was quite limey alone though. Papas Bravas - fried potatoes with a spicy tomato sauce. They were delicious well cooked potatoes and crunchy. With a tangy spicy tomatoey sauce. Which we got on the side as I can’t really have much spicy food 🥵 Desserts- Churros were not vegan sadly, but they did have a lovely Mango 🥭 sorbet with homemade berry coulis or chocolate & caramel cheesecake type tart which was delicious! The alcohol-free aperol spritz and coffee with oat milk were gorgeous and really great tasting coffee too. 🤤 My submarino was a nice strong but milky coffee with grated chocolate on the bottom to stir. Scratch made food by chefs and lovely cosy romantic atmosphere vegan 🌱 dishes are priced at £6-8. We ordered 6 between 2 and there was plenty with a few leftovers too! Our waitress Amily was lovely. We would recommend it and return here yes. Support independent restaurants and businesses #sheffieldissuper 😊 Our Meal was a blogger group *invite/partially gifted but an honest review given 🙂

Had a really lovely evening. Food and atmosphere were great. It is tight seating at times, there was only 2 of us and we did feel a bit in the way, having to budge in for people to get past. The food was really tasty though 😋

Estaban!! - our main waiter - MADE this experience wonderful. He was very attentive, really lovely and super approachable. I really enjoyed the green beans and potatoes and my bestie enjoyed the whitebait and calamari. All the dishes were definitely big enough for two people to split! The bill doesn't come with service added, but we were more than happy to add! I definitely recommend booking as you wouldn't have got a table on the weekend without doing so. It's a popular restaurant for a reason. Enjoy x

Gorgeous food, great service and atmosphere. Would recommend booking especially later in the evening as it gets busy. We were evening eaters and child free (for a change) but they do cater for children and have special offers for them late afternoon early evening. The flavours were great, all the tomato bases had their own little twist. The only slightly disappointing dish was the aubergine which seemed to be more cheese than egg plant, still yummy. Also order some bread as you'll want to sop up all the lovely sauces! The lamb was tender and the sauce rich, my mouth is watering just typing about it. Another thing I liked was that water was on the table already, in a refill bottle, so no worrying about sounding like a cheapskate asking for tap water. (I hate paying for overpriced water) the cocktails are well worth sampling!

The most amazing place. The staff and food are simply amazing. Thanks for making us feel so welcome. We had around 12 plates of food and everyone was superb. 5 Stars
