   The food here was outstanding. I've read that the portions here are two small for the price, but I disagree. Fine dining is not large portions to make you feel too full to do anything over than be really full. Yes, it is on the higher end of price, but we'll worth it.

   Good good and good table until it started pooring rain. We told our server that it was our anniversary and did nothing about it. It took him long to clear our table. Did not assist us when we decided to move inside the restaurant. As a result, we got wet and barely got seats inside. Good live band.

    This was my second time at La Palapa and everything was outstanding both times. Whether you have a group of twelve or need a romantic dinner for two, this is the place to go in Zona Romantica. I wish I could give the service 6 stars. They are friendly, speak a good amount of English, and were very knowledgeable about the ingredients in the food (someone in our group has severe food allergies). Everything on the menu is delicious, cooked perfectly, and comes out hot. Get the Al Pastor Potstickers. Just do it. We all loved every cocktail we had. There was a Jason Mraz-esc gentleman playing acoustic guitar and singing which was very pleasant and complemented the sound of the waves crashing on the beach. I recommend sitting on the sand and keeping your eye out past the pier for fireworks.

    The prices have went up, but that’s a sign of the times. We ordered the lobster which was very pricey but well worth it. The best part of this place is watching the sunset, on the beach and the live music. It would be nice to not have the vendors coming by every 5 seconds so I could eat in peace. Service a bit slow but very nice. Definitely recommend checking out this go to spot.

    We eat out almost everyday. The servers are young & inexperienced. We watched 4 different tables all treated differently by 4 different servers. Very inconsistent. Please save yourself the money for a horrible dinner & go next door to El Dorado. La Palapa is HORRIBLE & a total waste of money.

    Had a romantic dinner with my parter at La Palapa. I made a reservation requesting a sunset view of the ocean which was honored. The service from everyone in the restaurant was impeccable. The cocktails were above average and at a reasonable price for a tourist zone. We really enjoyed most of the food items except my partner felt his red snapper dish tasted more like fried rubbery cod or similar fish.

    Had a reservation and was seated in a few minutes. Great table location with a view of the setting sun. Our server was super nice. Only issue was that our entrees came before everything. Bread, water and drinks were not on the table until after our entrees. I'm all for super fast service but the order was not correct. Gave us the impression that they wanted us out of there quick. Entrees ordered were the Chicken and Short Rib. Churros were hard, but the Flan was delicious. The sauce of the short rib was very sweet and tasted like ketchup. Overall the environment and view is what made up for the meal.

    Party of 5. We came for brunch/lunch around 11:30 on a Thursday. Seated outdoors under a palapa. Lunch menu only available at this time. There weren’t many guests however service was slower than expected, although friendly. There were beach vendors approaching our table almost every 5 minutes which definitely took away from the experience. The food was great. Fresh ingredients. Easy on the salt. Good portions. We moved over to the beach lounge chairs after our meal and the quality of service improved greatly. Super on point and friendly. Prompt. Complimentary fresh fruit popsicles. My wife’s favorite part of the culinary experience was the mango chamoy popsicles. Would recommend the restaurant maybe for dinner as the vendors seemed to wane down during sunset. And would highly recommend the beach lounge area any time of day. You can order the entire menu from the beach. Gracias La Palapa!
