Since 2018, I've been going here about once a month and have always enjoyed the wonderful food and friendly service. The portions are generous, the flavors authentic, and the atmosphere cozy and welcoming, making every visit a pleasant experience. Whether dining in or grabbing takeout, it's consistently satisfying, and I always look forward to trying something new on the menu.

The food and service at La Palapa are consistently outstanding, making it a go-to for me since 2018. Whether I'm craving enchiladas or their addictive Bernadette sauce, this cozy spot always delivers a delicious and memorable experience!

Great food and great service. Very friendly staff. Their enchilada sauce is so delicious and the margaritas are the best.
