La Palapa Review

Reviewed by Corinn45 from St. Louis, MO on 2/14/09
Very nice atmosphere on the beach, you can see and hear the waves crashing. Very lovely dining area, there was live music the night we were there, a soloist with a flutist, very nice. I ordered the shrimp dish with crusted parmesan and sweet potatoes (the shrimp were huge!), and my brother got the tuna. Both were excellent. Nice wine list and several good desserts. Service was very attentive and not too slow. Definitely recommend for a romantic evening, or just a nice dinner with friends. However, don't go here looking for Mexican food so much. If Mexican is what you want, you'd be happier elsewhere.

It was a beautiful atmosphere I will say that however in my opinion the food was only slighly above average and portions small,I know you are paying for the ambiance and they know how to give it.I would go back and try sonmething different.

Outstanding service and flavorful food. Some may consider La Palapa expensive relative to other local options. The setting on the beach is just great.

My girlfriend and I were thrilled with the creative twists La Palapa put on traditional Mexican dishes. We were served at one of the white linen covered tables on the sand, less than 10 feet from the water. The food was excellent and the wine list wasn't anything to shake a stick at. We look forward to a repeat visit and would recommend to any of our friends.
