La Palapa Restaurant

Service was perfectly fine.

Food was largely bad. Very strong fishy taste off the shrimp. Buffalo shrimp not devained. Buffalo sauce was odd tasting and didn't taste like actual buffalo sauce at all. Two of us tried it and both remarked that it was weird.

My seafood enchiladas had like mushy undercooked tortillas and it was so fishy and off tasting I could finish it. The beans were fine but everything else was just meh. Rarely have I ever been grossed out enough to not finish my meal. The cheese sauce was pretty good but I couldn't power through the taste of the shrimp or the texture of the wrap that started to feel like dough.

Later that night it was apparent that something was definitely up with the food. My bowels were very unhappy. Same for my husband as well.

Sorry but not coming back.

Reconsider testing cooking methods and clean the shrimp please because nobody wants to find poop veins in their shrimp. That's just foul.

This is my first time coming here and the presentation of the to-go meal was phenomenal! As someone from New Orleans, this place is going to get me in trouble I can tell 😆. The host was super nice as well! Keep up the good work!

OMG I found my new spot! I just moved to this side of town and I’ve been trying a little bit of everything BUT this is IT! So many great selections to choose from. It was hard to choose but the seafood flautas hands down the best!

Excellent food! Guacamole is the best, as well as the fajitas and quesadillas. Love this place!

We were disappointed in the food. Being brought up on New Orleans style poboys, we felt the shrimp poboys were not too good. Too much breading on the shrimp. And we found out the piboys did not travel well. We got take out and by the time we got home the poboys were soggy. Also thd fries were rock hard. The bread used did not fit our perception of poboy bread.

Stopped by for the first time and was pleasantly surprised! Seafood boil, fish tacos, seafood enchilada were all fabulous. We had a big group with lots of kids; they all had something different (chicken tenders, burger, quesadilla, corndog) and left happy. The only item I wasn’t a fan of was the gumbo.

Monica and the whole team were fun and attentive. I had the steak fajitas with flour tortillas. The steak was perfectly seasoned. The seafood boil with shrimp and snowcrab was also good. Come during happy 3pm-6pm.

I was SAD that this restaurant wasn't packed. Well, we were there around 3pm, but I really hope their business will grow. It was our first time there and everything was absolutely delicious! Our server was Pedro and he did everything right! I can't wait to go back!

My wife and I went here when they first opened and were not impressed. We recently returned and were very impressed! Great food and our server was amazing. The next time we ate here we saw a Thursday seafood boil special. We didn’t get it as it wasn’t Thursday. We came back today (Thursday) and I opted for the special. The flavor was great but the Peel and eat Shrimp was almost impossible to peel!!! I expect to work for the crab meat. I didn’t expect to work harder for the shrimp. The shrimp would be better if it had the back spine cut releasing the poop and creating an “easy peel”. These shrimp were FULL of poop and harder to peek than the crab. The music was 80’s and we considered just chilling out and enjoying it! That would be awkward so we left. We will be going back soon! I probably won’t get the Thursday special due to the hard to peel shrimp.
