La Palapa Reviews
My husband and I hosted a rehearsal dinner here a few weeks ago and it was perfect! From the get go, Monica was easy to reach out to, accommodating and went over and above what she said she would do!
Fantastic Mexican Food!! Best in the area by long shot! You can taste the love in every bite. Homemade tortillas and everything was as fresh as can be.
They have limited staff and only had one waitress when we’ve eaten at La Palapa. So if it’s busy you may have to wait awhile for service/food. If you want a second drink, good luck if they’re busy because you’ll probably have a hard time getting a second drink.

La Palapa is a charming Mexican restaurant in Baywood Park that features a colorful ambiance and friendly service. They offer a variety of dishes, including fresh seafood, delicious shrimp enchiladas, and the highly recommended chicken posole. The vegetarian enchiladas with mole sauce are a hidden gem, while the fajita tostada and combination plate with enchilada and tamale are also popular choices. Their house-made tortillas are served warm and complimentary with flavorful salsa. The food is top-notch, with perfectly seasoned sauces, generous portions, and well-plated takeout options. The restaurant has a lovely family atmosphere and stunning bay views. While the hours may be sporadic, the overall experience is worth it. La Palapa is a favorite spot for many locals, known for its affordable, tasty, and well-thought-out Mexican cuisine. The staff, including the pleasant waitresses, provide professional service, making it a wonderful spot for good quality Mexican food.
