I am a big fan of Palapas food. Everything I have tried from start to finish has been great. Starting with a mango michelada which was super balanced. Sweet, salty and a hint of tartness; garnished with a Tamaroca, a mango and cucumber slice dipped in escarcha made it absolute perfection. To start they bring you some great chips, salsa and bean dip which are a nice little appetizer. We got the California roll and let me tell you, it doesn't compare to any Japanese sushi place, but was still OK. The Ceviche in salsa negra is great and full of flavor. Definitely my go to. Had to try a shrimp taco, because why not!? When I first got the taco and saw that it was made with a flour tortilla I was a bit skeptical, but after I bit into it my taste buds were pleasantly surprised. It was cheesy, crunchy, with a bit of spiciness from the salsa they provide. It was truly amazing. Definitely going back and gettin' me some more in the near future! The service could be better, the waitresses are not too friendly. The atmosphere is nice with some Mexican music playing in the background. One of the times I went I was charged for valet parking, but thankfully I think they did away with that.
Kid-friendliness: Not too much to offer for kids.
Parking: I have been charged for valet before, bit sure if they did away with it. I hope they did because they'll charge you to park your car 10 feet away from the back door.
Wheelchair accessibility: Floor level
WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT. Saw all the social media post, about how awesome tand tasty this place was. That the micheladas were amazing ... blah blah...BLAAAH...BUNCH OF B.S. Let me start off by saying this place was dead, 1 couple was there and they were done when we showed up. We went for an early dinner late lunch. Music was blasting as if it was a night club...service was TERRIBLE. Ordered our food and drinks. When food came out they forgot 1 order. Then my son's plate came out AFTER we all finished. Then we all ran out of water, no refills. Like if we were inconveniences for the wait staff. They over charged us for our drinks by 2 bucks each, according to the menu price. Not cool. Now that "AMAZING" michelada tropical...HARD PASS...1st it's way over priced...2nd way watered down...3rd wasn't good...below not good. Food was... MEEEH...GET READY TO DROP DOLLARS...DOLLAR DOLLAR BILLS Y'ALL. We should of walked out when sing says "cash only"....should of walked away. My 2 cents.
Parking: Parking is in the rear.... watch out now cause looked liked some shady stuff was going down. In the middle of the day. If that's your thing, this the spot.
The worse service. Servers have a bad temper. They mix the orders. I couldn't belive that for a order of 3 plates and drinks we got charge $25 on top for service. Whatttt?.. never will came back
Haven't been here in a while the live band music was too loud and I didn't like the valet parking, no more band and no valet parking the food is awesome and very reasonable.
This place is good. Lots of fish options. Music is a bit loud but overall its good.
The food was ok nothing to write home about its ridiculous that they charge you to park here for valet and have no other option for parking it's not a 5 star restaurant for them to charge valet though, the drinks are great but the food is so expensive not worth it in my opinion not saying it's bad but it's not worth what it's priced at, I've had much better seafood at other restaurants for half the price a 20 dollar cali roll is all I should have to say about the food pricing, great drinks ok food high priced and it's not like it's a great hang place with live music or nothing just a regular smegular restaurant.
Food is great, no matter what you order. Always hits the spot. Only downside is cash only but come prepared or use the ATM on site.
I ordered shrimp ceviche with octopus and it was not good at all. The octopus tasted bad (I love octopus so i eat it often, I know how its supposed to taste).I think it was bad, I told them and was told - oh no it's good. Maybe it's you.I couldn't eat it. My husband asked for shrimp zarandeado and was not good.Too bad, I was looking forward.
Really great marisqueria, we ordered the ceviche en salsa negra and the lobster rolls. Everything was tasty a little pricey but worth it.
This place is expensive. Also to be able to park inside you have to pay Valet.. The food is good but too pricy.. We waited too long for the food.

I should of read the reviews before coming here . Like everyone mentioned valet parking just to eat at this restaurant, rip-off, then it’s cash only food was good 2 out of 5 stars , drink are better 4 out of 5 stars, probably would come back for drinks only
The food and service never disappoints.
The food. Was so salty. !!!! 6. Dollars. Valet parking. Horrible. Customer service. I’m not coming back again. !!!
No because the waitresses is horrible at taking the orders. She do not speak English and she get mad wen you order the special of the day… she get bad personal actitud and is not really nice. If you want or like surprise food. Order on the phone to take out and eat there. I’m NOT TAKING MY FAMILY THERE. It’s like a congal.
I come here often , but after today forget this place Not a soul in the parking lot Valet comes over wants to charge me six dollars for parking , I can see if it was full. But an empty parking lot. Not good , not going back
