Hidden gem in nutty St. Mark's pl. – My first experience at La Palapa was disastrous. My blind date was ugly (not restaurant's fault), the beer was warm, and the food was so spicy it numbed my taste buds. However, I loved the ambience, and decided to give it another chance. I'm glad I did so, because all my gripes seemed to have been addressed. I've since been there many more times, and I would probably rate this restaurant as one of the top three Mexicans in the city. To top it all off, getting a table there is never a hass... read more
It would earn a 10 on a scale of 100! – La Palapa makes Burritoville look like Daniel! Here are a few reasons: 1) The margaritas are overpriced, unpleasantly sour and weak. 2) When not otherwise unacceptable - blandness, dryness, etc. - the dishes are generally one-note disasters with the singular note being hotness. 2) The sauces they leave on the table are the same sauces they dump on the food, one of which rendered the enchiladas - which don't earn a positive numerical rating to begin with - bitter, overhot and totally in... read more
you won't find better – If you are looking for refried beans, go elsewhere. This is modern regional Mexican cuisine. I have been to La Palapa several times with friends and each plate is always excellent. I don't know what other restaurant these folks are complaining about. I've had to push my plate away due to the large portions (the enchiladas are gigantic). Although, I have to admit that the mixed drinks are awful, stick with beer and wine.
Worst Dining Experience Ever – Having ordered delivery from here, I decided to go and try out the restaurant with six friends. We ordered apps and main courses. 3 apps came 10 minutes into being there, the other 3 came 45 minutes later NO JOKE!...then 5 minutes later they brought out all the entrees. don't know about you--but mexican food is type of meal i need time in between courses. having a full plate of appetizers when the entrees were brought out did not allow me to enjoy my food at all. The waiters were rude, the plac... read more
all about the mole – and the vibe. I had the Mole and a really cute waitress. Scene is a good one. I really dont know why everyone seems to be so nege about this place. kick back and relax!
avoid at all costs – La POOPlapa is a more fitting name. Don't bother with this place
3 – This place was a huge disappointment. Starting off with having to pay for chips n salsa (isn't this against Mexican restaurant tradition??) the food was very, very spicy. This is good if you like spicy food, but it was just too much. I even like spicy food but this one was too rough on my stomach. It had a lot of fancy Mexican dishes (those of you looking for the basics, go elsewhere) and it was super loud, hence not very romantic. All in all, it is a great place to go if you like VERY spicy food and you have a large gro... read more
Yum, yum, yum – All of you people who think that La Palapa is overpriced and not authentic are insane!!!!! They have the best Mexican food I have ever had, full of delicious unique flavors. And everything tastes so fresh! The staff is so friendly and knowledgable, and the owners are so personable, and often come to your table to give you tastes of dishes. Those of you who think it's too expensive: what's so espensive about $5 for a quesadilla, or $12 for an entire brunch. As for small portions, yes, a couple of the appetizer... read more
8 – upbeat mood and music...I was happy to see the table salsas were like the ones I had in Mexico and really loved the tacos and quesadillas. We tried the Hibiscus Margarita recommended by another ctitsearch reviewer and wow was it great or what!!!?
