A really good meal – The staff was really helpful, we were a big group and we got a good table so that was a good start. I had the red wine sangria which was pretty good. For dinner I had the fish tacos which were great.I will definitely go back soon.

DMANBURGER "La Palapa" – Life feels relaxed-when you enter this St. Marks place cocina. Al fresco dining welcomes you as you walk into a lively bar scene, where patrons are sipping margaritas and noshing on zesty salsa and tortilla chips. The dining room is spacious with votives flickering in the dim light, while Mayan sculptures and an antique map of Mexico city decorates the walls. Cuisine is simple, fresh and plentiful - the trio of Tacos pescados were flavorful and delicious.

Not Really Authentic!!!! – Let's just say my girlfriends and I walked out of the restaurant, halfway through our meal due to a visitor in our table AHHHHH!!!! My friend pointed out that I had a cacaroche (city search bans the true word from reviews... hmmm... conspiracy much?) crawling on me, we screamed to high heaven, and a bus boy came and put it in a napkin and ran to the kitchen. Next thing I knew I was asking for the manager, who was a broad with too much attitude.... she tried to debate with me whether it was a cacaro... read more

Excellent service! – I went to La Palapa on a Thursday night and the bar was low key and inviting. Great staff! All were super upbeat and friendly. My bartender was prompt, fresh, and helpful. She was extremely informative on the bar menu, happy hour, and food menu with a ton of specials. All of which is rare at most NYC restaurants. Essentially, she made me feel comfortable, even when she was busy. Based on her great suggestions, I had the Pato con Mole Negra.....and I never have duck! So delicious! They are so many margari... read more

The worst Mexican food I've ever had – Anything you order with beef in it will have so little beef you will literally have to tear apart your dish to find what you've paid for. The staff is ignorant, but prompt. Avoid at all cost.

The best quesadillas – This place was fantastic. I had a seat outside and enjoyed a quesadilla with some friends and a nice margarita. The atmosphere is great especially on a Sunny day. I would recommend this place to anyone.
