Lunch today sent me straight into a food coma nap! These birria tacos were everything and more. The server convinced me to add cheese and boy am I glad I listened! My mom ordered the green salsa chilaquiles and I may have helped her out to make sure we didn't leave anything behind. The steak we added to the chilaquiles were the true star of the show. She and I enjoyed sitting in the patio for two hours, thanks for not kicking us out, Palapas! Ps. say yes to the paloma's.

We just happened to stumble upon this place because we went to the bank across the street. Normally I check out the Yelp reviews anytime I go to a new restaurant but I didn't today and I'm glad. Several negative reviews but honestly, we had a great time today. Parked right in front, no line, we were told to sit anywhere when we said it was for here, Jessica promptly brought us menus and she was so attentive the whole time. Yes, the food was expensive but hooray for us, it was Taco Tuesday and tacos were $2.50 each! Still a lot but the combo with rice, beans and three tacos is $16 so we saved some money. The tacos were amazing, but the only issue I had was that they were falling apart because only one tortilla was used for each taco. Most authentic places I go to give two tortillas. Jessica did tell us that after 5pm, the tortillas are handmade so of course we'll be back next week! Price goes up to 3 for $10, I'm sure they'll be worth it. They have a beautiful palapa outside with a fan and lots of seating but we were plenty fine inside with the a/c. Also wanted to mention that they have menudo and pozole DAILY before 2pm, good to know because most places only have menudo and pozole on the weekend.

It was Delicious If you get the chilaquiles a la diabla just know it's spicy but good spicy. 10/10 Good Service I recommend this place

I was feeling lazy and ordered some food from Palapas in the Uber Eats app. Food was good, got the green enchiladas and a sope. Everything was great about the order, I feel like the Carnitas could've used a little bit more seasoning, but for the price it was good. The only issue I have is not so much with them, but with their Uber service menu. It doesn't give you the option to select different kinds of food. The ambience however was great! (Cuz I at it at home)

Food was pretty good. The customer service was great. I went on a Sunday afternoon it was said that they have mariachi but there wasn't any, which was one of the main reason I wanted to try this brunch spot. The agua frescas are delicious

Got together with the girls for a much needed Sunday Brunch and it did not disappoint...well for the most part. We arrived at 11am and waited about 20 min or so not bad considering it was a Sunday and it was pretty busy. The place itself is not very big in fact its pretty small so minus the 1 star for that. There is plenty of parking in an adjacent parking lot and it's free.We were seated in their patio area which is also not very big , it was shaded but unfortunately it was a hot day and it was toasty. Servers were attentive, efficient and personable. Everyone enjoyed their food and portions are a decent size. We shared the mimosa flight and they were just ok for me not very strong but I guess it is just a miimosa lol-next time I'll try a drink drink ;) overall a fun brunch and I would recommend to come check them out!!

Dropped by on a whim (with the help of Yelp locator) and was interested in the birria ramen, which was something that I wanted to try at foodie fests but didn't get a chance to. The restaurant is modern but cozy. The music is loud which makes it a fun casual place to take your friends and family. Service takes place at the counter and they take your order to your table if you decide to eat in. The day was beautiful so I chose to eat outside at the covered patio. The ramen was hella good! It came out in a Tapatio ramen bowl but hacked the stock with the consomme and the birria. My order even came with a queso birria so I can try the meat in a taco form. It is also delicious so so ordering the queso birria tacos on their own is a good choice. After ordering a gobenador taco and eating both tacos, I was very full. It is a lot of food! Because the ramen is sold in the ramen cup, they don't have a lid or a container with a lid so be forewarn if you want to bring the soup home. They can provide a foil to seal the top then a small bag to secure it in. Ramen was good the next day as the flavors intensified. Overall, I had a good first visit.

Honestly, this place is great. I've been here several times and their tacos al pastor (my usuals) never disappoint. Flavorful and great size. Salsas and Aguas Frescas are great! Their sopes, tortas, burritos are yummy too. The only meat I would not get is Chicken. It is not the best. They have different specials throughout the week.
