Very good food with nice portion sizes! Staff is very friendly and the restaurant was very clean! Will definitely come again! The margarita flight was very good, I ordered two which was a mistake because it’s enough for 4 people which means I was lit! Complimentary shot of Tequila because it was my birthday! Will definitely be returning here

This is hands down the BEST Mexican restaurant! I haven’t found a place I enjoy more than Las Palapas. The atmosphere, the food, the margs, the endless chips and salsa refills, everything here is perfection. Make sure to check the waitlist before driving out here!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a fantastic experience at this Mexican restaurant! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in. We arrived around 5:30 PM and there was already a wait, so I definitely recommend using their website to make a reservation or join the waitlist ahead of time. The portions were generous, the drinks were strong and delicious, and everything we ordered was packed with flavor. We especially loved that they offer a great happy hour Monday through Friday from 3 to 6 PM — such a nice bonus! This is definitely on the higher end when it comes to Mexican cuisine, so be prepared to spend a bit more, but the quality, service, and atmosphere make it well worth it. We’ll absolutely be back!

I lived the decor of this place! Very cheerful and festive. We were seated right away and the waiter was accompanied took our order promptly. They give generous portions. I had the Fajitas Mixus. ( chicken and steak) It came with a second big plate with shredded lettuce, beans and rice. Mmm. My only tiny complaint was the steak was a bit tough. Everything was seasoned well. Delicious. Even the bathroom was decorated nicely. Plenty of free parking available.

Came here on a Thursday night and waited about 30 minutes for a table for 2 people. Got the chicken fajitas and they were fantastic! So much food! The chips and salsa were delicious and fresh. My boyfriend got a burrito and he said it was delicious. I’d definitely come back here. One of my favorite Mexican restaurants I’ve dined at!

Large portion sizes, good chips and salsa. Service was good, but our waitress only checked up on us a couple times (not a big deal just took a long time to get refills). The food was delicious and filling. Prices were fair. The atmosphere inside wasn’t the most appealing or exciting, maybe because we were seated right by the bathroom and kitchen.

We were craving birria tacos and decided to try somewhere new, and we’re so glad we did! We started with the charico dipping, which was an amazing appetizer, and then each ordered the 3-piece birria tacos. The meat was phenomenal and really hit the spot. Too bad I couldn’t drink this time, but the drinks I saw at other tables looked pretty good. We’ll definitely be back to try more dishes—looks like we just found our new taco joint!

The food is wow! I was shocked since most Hispanic cultured food / Mexican restaurants have been a disappointment but this spot is AMAZING! The food hit the spot! I definitely recommend coming here if you love Mexican food, fish food, and want amazing service! The staff is very kind and genuine. They deserve all the love! Beautiful memories here with our family, this place is very special to us. Memories that can’t be recreated for some of us. I genuinely recommend Las Palapas for any foodie lover like myself that can actually tell the difference between authentic and far from it. I’ll give this place a 99/100 haha! The 1 is missing because the floor seemed a big fall risk for people it was very, very slippery. This restaurant is located in a safe neighborhood close to a Costco. Thank you for everything!!!
