"I came here for the first time last night with my mother. I 've been to other Mexican restaurants in the area many times over the years, and while I 've always been satisfied with the food at other establishments, I wanted to give Las Palapas a try as well. Boy am I glad I did! The restaurant has a casual south-of-the-border vibe, and is also festively decorated. There is a bar with seating, and numerous comfortable booths in the dining area. We were greeted and served very quickly, so right away the service stood out from other local restaurants as being fast and friendly. The menu options are extensive and what you 'd expect from a Mexican restaurant--tacos, burritos, fajitas etc, but also a few items unique to the restaurant. The prices of most dishes are average, but they have nightly specials, and we somehow got an extremely low special price on house margaritas last night! Not only was the service friendly, but everything came out quickly as well--the drinks, the corn chips and salsa, our meal, and our dessert, and our server made sure to check on us occasionally if we needed anything. And best of all, everything was delicious! We ordered the chimichangas for our main, which come as one beef and one chicken, and served with sides of refried beans and a Mexican rice. Everything was very tasty, and I loved the shredded chicken and beef inside the chimis, which was perfectly seasoned and tender. The lime margaritas were delicious as well, and even the small was sizable. Having been to other Mexican restaurants for years and receiving generally slow service and mixed results on the food, after our experience last night Las Palapas will now be our go-to and I 'd highly recommend it!"
