The food is amazing but the thing about their service is they take sooo long and then they bring it out one by one and not at the same time. But super nice

I have dined in and the food and service was excellent. What i don't appreciate is the delivery service they use and how they have no accountability or responsibility when the delivery service fails to perform. Toast (3rd party) is unreliable. And they contract through UBER Eats who denies association . So poor customer service and shame on the driver who stole my purchase. This occurred 20 July by a driver by the name of Maria per the delivery notifications.

We stumbled upon Lapa Lapa while searching for good seafood and walked away with a new favorite spot. From the second we walked in, the energy was vibrant, the staff was friendly, and the drinks were top-tier. The mixologist clearly knows what they’re doing because every cocktail hit the mark.

But let’s talk about those oyster shots. Hands down, the best I’ve ever had. Fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with just the right kick. They were so good we almost ordered a second round before our food even arrived.

Then came the main dishes, and wow. Every bite was a flavor bomb. You can taste the pride they take in their seafood. Perfectly cooked, beautifully presented, and seasoned like they’re cooking for royalty. The portions were generous without sacrificing quality, and the prices were surprisingly reasonable for the level of food we were getting.

Lapa Lapa isn’t just a seafood joint, it’s a full experience. Whether you're a local or just passing through, do yourself a favor and stop in. Major props to the whole crew for creating something this good. We'll definitely be back!!!!

We had a very good experience. The food was amazing. we ordered the lapa tostada and green aguachiles, they tasted fresh and were very delicious, I will come back to try more food from their menu. The cubano for my beer was amazing too. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is a great restaurant. We were greeted and seated right away. The staff was very courteous and quite knowledgeable regarding the menu. It's a nice place to have drinks and a good lunch or dinner. The view of the mountains is a bonus. We'll definitely return.

We had a wonderful dinner date at Lapa Lapa in the Northeast on June 13, and I couldn’t wait to share my experience! First, I want to highlight our amazing server, Jocelyn. It was our first time at this restaurant, and we were a bit unsure about what to order. Jocelyn did an excellent job describing the menu and guiding us through the various options.

We kicked things off with the oyster shots—absolutely fantastic! Next, we tried the Clamato with carne seca, which was equally amazing. When our food arrived, my partner ordered two shrimp quesadillas, a sirloin steak taco, a beer-battered fish taco, and the Lapa taco. Hands down, my favorite was the Lapa taco, but every taco was exquisite! I opted for the grilled fish, which was delicious as well.

We were thoroughly impressed with the incredible flavors and can see why the place is always busy. This is truly a must-try restaurant! I’m looking forward to many more visits and trying everything on the menu. And let’s not forget the chips and salsa—delicious!

Lastly, the service was excellent and fast. Jocelyn made our visit even more enjoyable with her patience and detailed explanations of the menu.

Our waitress was amazing and very attentive ! Service 100! ?
The food was very delicious considering we are no where near an ocean lol I got a shrimp cocktail and it tasted like the ones my mom makes! ? My kids each had a different kids plate which is chicken nuggets, fish sticks and popcorn shrimp. They didn’t like the fish sticks but again, my kids are so picky! ?
The atmosphere and decor they have is great too. They have music playing, which isn’t too loud or soft. I would definitely come here again !! :)

I tried really hard to like this place but the food was just not good for me. I ordered the marlin empanadas and the octopus tacos and everything we had was like biting into a lemon. The flavors were literally lime with a side of lemon. Service was great and the place was a nice little lunch spot but I don’t recommend the marlin empanadas or the lemonade.

Today’s experience isn’t what we expected. Service was wonderful that wasn’t the issue at all the servers are great there. However the food quality has declined significantly. The fish soup was not good and definitely a disappointment and the red snapper was almost burnt all the way through it was basically extra fried with a little bit of soft fish. Definitely need to recoach the cooks would be my recommendation.

I ordered oysters, and more breading and a tiny bit of oyster. Too much cost for a bad appetizer. Shrimp cocktail was ok but flavorless. Not enough mixture of sauce and good condiment. I will try again to try other dishes before recommending to people. Service was great
