Gross, hard peel of the avocado was all inside the taco as if done

Chilaquiles were soupy, soggy, too spicy and downright awful.

Pretty disappointing. The brisket taco was BLAND and the side salad was literally a few pieces of lettuce, some radish and pico de gallo (but not a lot). Good thing I got chicken on top of it because it wouldn’t have filled me up. Also quite expensive so definitely not worth it. Why is it so hard to find a decent taco in NYC? Smfh

A palapa is an open hut with a palm-thatched roof. I assume the place is named for that because it is the only house you would be able to afford after purchasing food from this place. The tacos are delicious with different spice rubs and marinades for each meat, and double wrapped in traditional tortillas. But 5-6 dollars plus tax per taco is pushing it even for Manhattan.

All the vegetarian tacos were amazing. This is my go to spot for quick take out in mid Town.

$15 for quesadilla the size of two tacos!Growing up in the 90s, Taco Bell was part of my diet (before I learned about the sand additive, which they have subsequently taken out). I didn’t like their tacos much, but their quesadillas was quite fulfilling. A large, soft tortilla filled with beef and cheese folded in 1/2 and cut into slices like pizza. It brings back fond memories for me just typing it out, even though I would be extremely disappointed if I have one today.So when I saw this place serving quesadillas with al pastor style meat, I couldn’t resist, even if it cost $15 before taxes. I know, midtown lunch prices has gone up quite a bit since I left my previous job back in 2016, but at $15, they better be on their game. They were not. If putting cheese on tacos lets you call them quesadillas, then at least have the decency to put up a picture of how it looks like. But nope, that’s nowhere to be found at their stall. Never coming back.

Meh. The avocado taco was mostly corn & beans with a thin slice of avocado. Brisket taco was very disappointing, unseasoned, & bland. Likely the worst brisket taco I've had. Go to Los Tacos 1 instead.
They said nothing when I picked up my order. Just placed it in my hand. They weren't busy at all. The breakfast burrito was good, not great. 8% egg. A breakfast burrito should have at least 20% egg. It was tasty, service was non-existent, egg was lacking, tomato was watery. Decent not great.

Service was slow even though I pre-ordered by breakfast burrito 5 minutes before arriving and then had to wait 15 additional with no one else ordering or waiting for food. Burrito was good though, but not sure I would order again. Might have to pre-order 20 minutes in advance to accommodate for the slow service.

Ordered 2 Tacos and Chips & Guac ($15) Pretty pricey for the portion. Good flavors but the tortillas weren't toasted so my tacos fell apart.
