best mexican – dined at la palapa last night and had a homemade chosrizo and cheese stuffed gordita. It was delicious as was the fish special witha guacamole and tomatillo salsa. my hibisicus margarita also outstounding..I could taste the fresh lime... the food, the service and the value all are great. I will return...so will the friends dined with.
looking for new places – The food and atmosphere were top notch.The owner was out and about in the diningroom,and that was really refreshing to see.We liked it so much we went back the next day and took 4 of our friends.
nothing special – After spending more money than intended, I felt even more disappointed in the food. The southwestern spices were more than overwhelming to the point where you couldn't taste the actual food!
It's Palapatable :-) – $ of us had a Saturday brunch at La Palapa. I found the atmosphere quite confortable, the restaurant is bright and clean. I wasn't that thrilled with the food, though. I say stay away from the Bloody Marias and stick with the Marys (vodka); somehow tequila, tomato and horseradish make an odd combination. The "Fruit of the Day" offering is a joke - a very tiny portion of slightly oxidized canned pineapple, a sliver of unripe strawberry, why bother? I tried the french toast, also tiny, and way, way too s... read more
Fell Off – I've been to this restaurant 3 or 4 times. The first time was with a group for friend's birthday! It was great, we all felt it was one of the best meals we had. Unfortunately the next few times I went with my boyfriend our meal wasn't all that great. The guacamole was terrible, and the steak dish was too salty. And our bill of $70 (without drinks) was definitely not worth it. Too bad because it was a great option for dining in the village. BEWARE if you decide to change something in your dish like a different mole... read more
Great Food + Service – Went on a busy Fri nite and waited to be seated for 20 minutes or so. Other than that I have nothing but positive things to say. The food is tasty and served quickly. The service is prompt and professional. Our table happened to be near the liquor cabinet and when the owner needed to access the cabinet during our meal - which was hardly a major inconvenience - she removed the pitcher of Sangria we were drinking from our bill. An excellent alternative to your usual burrito and fajita Mexican place.
Those hidden extra $$$. – A small side of rice was $4 and a side of beans was also $4. Have chips and salsa at the bar. The same chips at your table and you'll be paying $5 for them (a NY mexican restaurant custom, it seems). Our waitress explained, "we charge for them because we make the chips and salsa here at the restaurant." The entrees are expensive enough. Don't nickel-and-dime the customer over the chips.
Authentic and delicious! – Being from Texas and constantly in search of good Mexican food, I have finally found it at La Palapa! The margaritas, especially the frozen pomegranate, are huge and delicious. The chips are dusted with a mild chili powder and pair with the guacamole spectacularly. I have had the mole enchiladas 3 times and have to say that they are just as good as back home--sorry, Grandma! The green chicken enchiladas are mouth watering, as well. I am so glad La Palapa exists and highly recommend it.
Underrated – One of the better authentic Mexican restaurants around. You get a great value for a great meal. Can't go wrong.
