Finally found a restaurant that is not afraid to put meat in their tacos! Very flavorful and prepared quickly.

I'm not giving 3 starts bc the food wasn't tasteful, the food was actually good. However our steak had more gristle than actually meat. The waiter was very nice and he made sure we were well taking care of. We might go back but next time we will not be having steak.

Overflowing tacos.I had 6 carnitas tacos and each one was stuffed to the max. They were each slightly seard to stay tender and just enough for crispy edges. You know the ones I'm talking about. Since it was carnitas, tender pork, skin, tendons (maybe), and magic.Could use a dash of salt, eat in if you can.Sauce was green and red, very fresh, but not a ton of kick. Would still get again regardless.I also order sope, but that was for my friend I didnt get to try it.

Came over while I was getting work done on my vehicle! They weren't busy, but definitely ready to be of service! I ordered 4 carne asada tacos with cheese and babyyyyy, they did not disappoint! The verde sauce was the best I've ever had! Needed a cup just to sip on, for taste tasting of course! And the tacos, OMG!, the tacos were seasoned and marinated to perfection by the taco Gods! YES, YES, YES AND YES was all I could say or think at least, in between stuffing my mouth! They were so dang meaty, I had enough to make 2 more tacos! Yes sir! Definitely coming back!!!Parking: Enough parking for 6 to 10 vehicles. Including parking availability at next business as well.Kid-friendliness: No alcohol other than beer. Seating is open as well!Wheelchair accessibility: Has way access fur entry of wheelchair ease is needed!

A lot of Mexican restaurants claim to have “authentic cuisine” but they don’t. La Palapa truly offers authentic and fresh food. Great menu selections that are hard to find anywhere else. My personal choice was menudo soup, it was delicious! Ten stars as far as I’m concerned. Felicitaciones al chef!

My wife and I have been here twice both times it was in the morning. We ordered breakfast food the first time. I had the Ranchero Omlette and it was simply amazing. My wife had the Tita's breakfast. She said the breakfast was great as well. The second trip she got taco's and I got soreno omlette (can't remember exact name) and it was phenomenal right amount of spice in the omlette. The service has been great every time we go and the food is always hot and fresh. I highly recommend trying this place.
