Delicious food and great service. This place offers a variety of mexican dishes with a twist. They served fish ceviche and jalapeños dip with tortillas on the house. Crab legs are market price. Loud mexican music plays in the indoor-outdoor dining area. Th3 music drowns out the busy street nearby. Beautiful beach vibe and decor throughout. They offer a lot of seafood dishes, too. Overall, this was a nice dining experience.

I was invited to dinner at La Palapa for a birthday celebration, I know that this is a seafood restaurant and I'm not a seafood person, so I had the Carne asada. It was fantastic, so glad I went.

The atmosphere was nice, clean and cozy. The food was ok. It's really ideal to enjoy time with friends or family as a group.
The BYOB is definitely an over charge if it's only two people, but worth it if it's over 6 people.

Service was good, the waitress was nice. However, the food was the opposite. The arrachera plate was salty and gross. The meat was cut thin and then thick, the beans were salty too. My gf ordered the seafood (7 mares) soup and it had no flavor. Spent over 70 for this, def not coming back.

This is a great place to eat Mexican seafood. There is always a crowd that lets you people are willing to wait. I wish they have a bigger parking. The empanadas de cameron are good a appetizer. The shrimp in aguachile was not spicy at all. I do not know if is becuase we ordered them black peppered. I enjoyed the mariscada which is great for a two and i think it is more economical. I would come again.

I've been here twice now and oh my lord they have the best crab legs I've ever had in my life! Pricey but it's worth every penny I will start going here as much as possible your food and restaurant is both outstanding. My only negative I got the shrimp with rice last time and the shrimp had too much seasoning 1st time was perfect. I will be there this weekend:)

Whenever I want to introduce people to Mexican seafood, this is one of the restaurants I highly recommend. They have an extensive menu, ranging from ceviche and fish soup to fish tacos and whole red snapper. Just the appetizers menu offers great options, like shrimp empanadas. The portions are generous, and you can get a platter with rice and fries. The flavors here are rich, bold, layered, spicy, with an assortment of sauces, textures, and preparations to choose from. This is not the watered down Mexican food you might find in other parts of the city, this is the food that Mexicans turn to for a great weekend meal to share with friends and family.

You know when you find THE seafood spot and then go nowhere else for years… well this marks a new beginning of customer loyalty for me at La Palapa. You don’t only get good food, but the location, and aesthetic of the place is very well thought out for an overall great experience. ¡Bravo!
