La Mama Latin Tapas Bar & Restaurant

My friend recommended La Mama and so we decided to try it out; I have to say it was fantastic. In our group of 3, one was vegan and I'm gluten free. There was plenty of choice and the service was great; all the dishes tasted amazing and the atmosphere was lovely. Pricing was very reasonable and I'm not going to lie...best green beans I've had in my life! Will definitely go back and kicking myself we haven't come sooner (been living in the area for almost 2 years) The bill for 3 people; plenty of food; one Cocktail each and dessert was £115 including tip; very good value.

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 🙂

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!
