. "La Palapa offers incredible authentic Mexican food conveniently placed right on East Carson. Truthfully, I have driven past this place so many times without even knowing it was there. This place was recommended to me by a friend so I decided to check it out.\n\nThe place is BYOB, which I like a lot. The restaurant itself isn't very big but seems more than accommodating for larger parties. The atmosphere is bright with artwork on the walls.\n\nOur server was attentive and helpful with any questions we had. She even put our bottle of wine in their freezer since it wouldn't fit into the chiller they provide. \n\nThe food was awesome! We started with chips and guacamole; the chips were fresh and crisp, the guac was light and full of flavor. I ordered the chicken flautas which were delicious. The portion was very generous and included rice and beans (or the option of rice and vegetables) that complimented the meal very well. \n\nIt seems like they do well with take out, two orders stopped in while we were there. The night we went it was snowing pretty bad out, there was only one party there besides us so I'm not sure how busy this place gets on a typical night. \n\nAll in all, I would most definitely go back and recommend this place to others!"^^ .
