What jent van c likes about La Palapa Grill & Cantina:
Really fun place to go. Food was delicious; service was good and friendly. I wish they offered the happy hour at all of the tables/locations but that’s a minor point. View all feedback. What Alex Palmer doesn't like about La Palapa Grill & Cantina:
Came here r for my birthday dinner. It was horrible. The lady who provided our service was not personable, extremely slow. The waitress never came and offered us a mother drink. She did not come check on us. My water took forever to come... got my food before I got a cup of water. Only got 1 cup because she never came to get ask if I'd like another cup. Then to top it off a bug was crawling on the wall beside me. View all feedback.
