Great Mexican food, lunch is good time, nice for dates – I've been there a couple of times and it never seems to fail my expectations. Their appetizing nachos taste like they are fresh out the oven. The sauces that are provided with them can be a bit spicy but Im not afraid of a little spice. The food is delicious and if you don't bring a big appetite then a dish can be shared for two it's that big. Its enviroment is delightful at night, everyone seems to not have a care in the world. Another nice treat would be the Margarit... read more
Wonderful! – If you are looking for great traditional Mexican food, look no further. I absolutely love this place! The food was delicious, the service can't get any better and the place is lovely. Our waitress was so sweet and attentive, and she was right about every suggestion. We had a beautiful, romantic evening and couldn't stop commenting on the food. The leg of lamb was extraordinary, the quesadillas and tacos were right on point and dessert was delicious. We dine out a lot, and Mexican is one of our favorite foods, an... read more
CHEAP HAPPY HOUR & DELICIOUS FRESH MARGARITAS! – I went for happy hour last week and the atmosphere was really great for after work. The frozen margaritas are very fresh and delicious. There are tons of great fruit flavors. I tried the pomogranate and the orange. The appetizers are cheap and small enough to try several. And you HAVE to get the chocolate dessert- "The Queen" I believe it's called.
My favorite happy hour – I have only been here during their happy hour, but I LOVE this place!! The staff is so friendly! You can't beat the margaritas and tapas menu. I also suggest the spicy salsa - it has a vinagarette flavor with kick - delicious! The atmosphere, food, and service have always been great. I would definitely recommend this place.
Good upmarket Mexican – This is way above your aveage burrito place but isn't insanely expensive. It has creative Mexican food without seeming totally divorced from standard Mexican cuisine. We were seated promptly, the decor and atmosphere were appropriate without being forced , and our server really was great- friendly and helpful in a real way. Plus, they have a million flavors of genuinely fresh margaritas (real fruit pieces!). Also, they're open late-ish. Portions aren't huge but by no means shabby.
Reservations? What a joke! – I've been to La Palapa a couple and each time I have mixed feelings about my dining experience. I suggest going during the week day at a time when it's less crowded. We went on a Saturday night and it was very packed, so I understood mind the 30 minute wait. We had excellent food (love the spicy yellow & blue corn chips) and okay service. We figured next time we'll make reservations and head over at an earlier time another weekend. Well, we did just that and still waited for 20 minutes with reser... read more
Problematic with potential – A friend and I walked into La Palapa off the street. The ambience and smell of food enticed in the doors. However, the experience quickly went downhill. First, our silverware was dirty, and our waiter scoffed at replacing it. Second, our table was wobbly. Our server, after two askings, fixed the table temporarily and finally gave us a menu after ten minutes. However, the table quickly wobbled again and spilled coffee all over us. We asked to be moved, which subsided the problems for a little whil... read more
Best Mexican in NYC – I LOVE THIS PLACE!! I have been here several times, and enjoyed every vegetarian-friendly item on the menu. The waitstaff is prompt and courteous, the food is phenomenal, and the prices are reasonable. Try my personal favorite dessert, the tres leches cake.
Great food – This is a great place to take out-of-towners. Perfect margaritas made with real lime juice, not a pre-mix concoction of sweet and sour mix. I'm surprised that one reviewer would actually complain about a soft taco costing $4.95. Um, you are at a restaurant. Not Taco Bell. And, is that really breaking the bank? I don't think so. Service has always been pleasant and helpful. We always sit as soon as our entire party gets there.
