| - Friday was my first experience dining in with La Palapa. They recently moved closer to my house and i was excited to finally try it out. I had walked past their previous location but it was tiny and for whatever reason i never stopped by. I had their items at yelp events though.
This location to adorable. It has cute art on the wall, high ceilings and tall windows which showcase the Birmingham Bridge. It might not seem like an extravagant view, but it's a lot more interesting than just seeing people walk down the street ya know?
We were stumped on what to order. Everything seemed good! Initially i almost got the enchiladas Verde but my husband went to order it instead... Which meant we needed more time. Finally we decided on getting their sampler platter called Charola para Dos. Its $28.95 and a Includes a tamal, quesadilla, flauta, pork rib, chicken with mole and a empanada. You can choose your meat or vegetarian option on all items.
We went with a quesadilla (not really a quesadilla.. Like a folded fried tortilla shell with meat). We chose steak. It was good-- steak was flavorful.
For the empanada we chose beef and my goodness it was fabulous! Can't wait to order that as an appetizer itself next time.
For the flauta we chose chicken. I loved it! Super delicious!
Chicken with mole sauce was also great. Chicken was juicy and tender and the sauce went well with the rice served with the platter.
Pork rib was seasoned with Mexican spices and
sauce. Never had that on pork but wow it was great!
My least favorite item was the tamal. I personally felt like they could have chose some thing better... Like a taco or something. Maybe others find it tasty but it wasn't my thing to be honest.
We had the platter as our only dish but it filled us up. It could easily be an app for 3 people if everyone else was getting other food.
For dessert we went with the Sopapilla... fried tortillas with ice cream.. Loved it!
Service was great and even management stopped over to see how things were. He thanked us for our business and had small talk with us.. Super kind and humble guy.
Now, the downside. Ok in my personal opinion I find the drinks smaller, weak and overpriced. There was a special on margaritas for 7.95 i believe. (Normally $9 or $10) we each ordered 2. In comparison to other nearby places They were served in pretty small glasses and weren't strong in my opinion. At normally $10 i couldn't chill at the bar & have multiple margs with the girls. I do want to note that the margaritas were delicious, just weak.
Despite that i loved our experience here... Good food, service, management, cute inside, patio seating beginning soon and a cool bar. Im thankful we live so close. I'll be back for empanadas and to try the chicken mole and pork ribs as entrees
