What an absolute GEM! Wonderful food, service, and atmosphere! We dined on the patio, under perfect weather conditions. The food was prepared expeditiously; and Julia's service was delightful and timely, as well as insightful - assisting our party with meal selection. 5 STARS!!!
The food was tasty, and the server was friendly. The atmosphere was fun. It was a bit pricey for the portion size.
The food here is delicious. My favorite was the chicken quesadilla and the pina colada margarita. I went during lunchtime, so the entire menu was not available. Parking is not an idea. There are a few spaces in the front and other parking spaces across the street.
Awesome place , we got a great experience today here , beautiful place , staff super friendly and respectful, the food is delicious and they came in a big size (also really fast) . The waitress always approached us with a smile, and you can see a team work all the time. We will definitely be back soon. Don’t hesitate to visit this place .
La Palapas is always good. Service is excellent, food is excellent, and drinks are always excellent. It's been there since I can remember. If you don't eat everything, it tastes just as good, if not better, the next day.
Just had the fish tacos on Taco Tuesday and wow they were awesome and a great value. The service was very prompt and our group of 10 was treated well, although they didn't split the bill. Will definitely be back again soon.
Visited for lunch. What a great and fun restaurant. The staff was very friendly and attentive. I had a problem with my food, but the waiter was right on it. I highly recommend this restaurant as a stop when you are in Ellicott City.
