We really enjoy coming here for food and fresh smoothies--it's become one of our favorite spots. There's an older employee who is incredibly sweet, always friendly, and great at recommending new things to try. She truly makes every visit enjoyable. That said, we've had a different experience on other days. At times, the service can feel less welcoming, and during our most recent visit, we were told the location was only offering to-go orders and closing early. When we mentioned the posted hours (which showed closing at 9:00 PM), we were informed they were closing earlier and that the hours online may need to be updated. We understand that things come up, but clearer communication and consistency in service would really help maintain the great experience we know this place can offer. We still enjoy coming here and hope to continue having positive visits in the future. read more

For a town with so many Mexican restaurants this is a solid choice. You actually feel like you are dining somewhere across the border! The staff is friendly and welcoming and the food, while not fancy is great and a good value. The sampler platter for $32 is enough for three people! Put it on your dining rotation, you won't be disappointed. read more

I'm going to keep this short, sweet, and to the point. You can find the best tortas in the 805 here. That is a hill I will die on. read more

Amazing drinks and food , OWNER is beyond welcoming and great servicing .i recommend the tortas or the quesa tacos, thank you once again

I loved coming here back in the day! This restaurant isn't as good as it used to be though, something changed. Parking isn't a hassle. Got 2 milanesa tortas and 2 licuados which came out to $37! A bit pricey in my opinion. The milanesa didnt have much taste and it wasn't reheated properly. The liciado was good though! I'd like to add the order was ready for take out in less than 15 min. Would I return? Maybe? read more

Food 5/5 This place is a gem tucked away ! I recommend the burritos and tacos de asada Service 5/5 This is a small shop but they are quick ! Ambiance 3/5 I don't like the parking here and there is limited seating read more

10 10 10s across the board I wished I would have gotten the chorizo torta but the turkey one is good too read more

Tortas and juices are spectacular here!!! It's a small place so try to come just before or after lunch hour to avoid a big wait. Not too much seating. Just a couple booths. I love the torta de jamon with everything. No A.C. So it's stuffy inside during hot weather days. If you live Tortas, and are in north Oxnard, give this place a try! read more

Unfortunately just noticed that they charge you for service 3.99% "service charge" , when I asked for the manager the lady said that the charge is for the use of your credit card, and as you spend more, more is the charged! Not ok to overcharged customers! and not even putting a sign so customers can see this EXTRA FEE! and be aware that the receipt will appears with a subtotal, total taxes and "service charge". Definitely a complaint to follow . CUSTOMERS PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR RECEIPTS AND SPEAK UP, since this abuse should STOP! read more

La Palapa - OVERCHARGED! Customers are not being aware about this extra Fee! - Mexican Near Me - Oxnard, California

This place is disgusting and I will not support unsanitary restaurants. Not to mention it took them an entire year to post prices. read more

The food was real authentic Mexican cuisine, the Torta was just phenomenal, I recommend to get that with all the meats inside of it. I also got the Quesotacos which hit the spot. I got the horchata which was the best tasting horchata that Iv ever had. The staff went overboard with great customer service. I also got to try the Nachos which were amazing, definitely would recommend it to anyone in the mood for Mexican food. I was stuffed at the end it. I wanna say that Greg made my day by going over board with the hospitality. read more

Came for freshly made vegetable juice and loved the drink. I ordered a vampire juice containing beet, carrot, celery, cucumber and a bit of orange juice. Flavorful, fresh tasting and healthy. The place is clean. Customer service was very friendly and our drinks were made quickly. I recommend this hidden juice bar. read more

Best horchata ever. The smoothies in general are amazing as well as their tortas. What seals the deal is they also have a panadería right next to it read more

This place has yet to let me down, been coming here since I was a kid. Their Tortas have such a unique taste, they toast the bread with butter before making the torta. Then followed by a meat of your choosing, lettuce, tomatoes , queso fresco, and pickled jalapeños. Also, the licuados here are delicious. (Mexican style smoothies). They make the perfect combo together, another hidden gem in our community! read more

La Palapa - Asada torta, strawberry and banana licuado - Mexican Near Me - Oxnard, California

This place just baffled me. I'm not even sure how to start. To put it bluntly, the prices are incredibly high, Yet the place looks like a hut and feels like it. These are Carlitos prices , or high-end Mexican food establishments with tons of ambiance and nice decor, this place has none of that. They're obviously not putting money back into the place-it could use a lot of detailing and a deep cleaning. This isn't even near any tourism, yet these are waterfront prices. $16 for two enchiladas? I honestly don't know. read more

Be careful they over charge, bought an Arizona drink, can says 99 cents , I asked why she charged me $2, she said the system charges them that LOL and then she say there's tax?! Hahaha not a whole dollar of taxes, over charging check your receipts!! Thieves !! Rateros!! Te cobran de más !! read more

Best asada tortas, I love coming here but employees need to be more attentive and in a better attitude

Came here once and got hooked on the food , very much every time here I try something else So far everything is awesome. The only thing about this place no good is the location and the parking lot , some times you have to wait for few minutes to find one or just go a head and park on the street By the end of the day I have to give them five stars for the outstanding food read more

I still love their horchata smoothies, but was highly dissatisfied with the fact they microwave your meat. I don't know why I never realized it before, but honestly thought it was freshly cooked or at least reheated on a comal. I strongly dislike the taste of microwaved meat. This will definitely not keep me coming back. read more

the customer service was excellent & very welcoming . thank you for the experience we will be coming back !

Best tortas in town. They are Really good and reasonable price. The bread is made fresh at the bakery next door witch they own too

Torta de asada con un líquido de Fresa Under new management the people there are pretty friendly and cool make you feel welcome and to top it off the food is legit read more

During a pandemic, this business is disgusting.The cashier was not wearing gloves, took our money, didn't wash her hands nor sanitize them, made our drink and gave it to us. Then the cook was not wearing gloves and even pressing our food with his bare hands while putting every condiment on what we ordered all without gloves. They tried to justify themselves that they have been already checked and that there is no problem with not wearing gloves while taking cash and with making the food. I've never had a problem with this business and have ate here frequently, but during a pandemic, this is disgusting and unacceptable. read more

Wow! Best horchata I have ever had in my life! Wish it was a little more "cinammon-y" but still, its like drinking a milkshake!

I'm not sure why this place doesn't have all great reviews. Recently visited SB and stayed at Hyatt Place which is right next door. My family and I ate at La Palapa pretty much every single day of our trip and it was great. They hqve delicious food and really greAt service. I highly recommend.their Shrimp ceviche and micheladas are to die for. read more

The food was okay. They do reheat the food, it is not fresh. The service could be better. A simple hello or welcome goes a long way.

GREAT Micheladas!!! Fresh hand made toritallas and overall grwat vibe. Service was fantastic and waiter was very cool. Stayed at the Hyatt next door and went everyday! read more

My 1st time here, this place is the BOMB! Best Tostasas de camaron ever!! If you are craving a tostada de camaron this is the spot!!!!! You won't be disappointed!!!! Best tortas de Milanesa! They don't have a kid's menu just an FYI, but they have fruit cocktails for them kidos, so if you want to bring your kids here it's best to feed them at home or take snacks for them! read more

La Palapa always provided a good torta in the past for me. Jamon, pavo, asada, pastor, you name it. Any one of them would be a good choice and was at a decent price. You got a monster of a torta for under $7. I stopped going when I noticed quite a few flies buzzing around the area where they prepared the food. The door is always left open and discovering them on the VC Enviromental Health department restaurant temporary closure list just prevented me from ever eating here again. The practice of safe sanitation is really questionable here. Eat at your own risk! read more

The horchata drink is my favorite! I can drink this everyday lol marisco plate are huge and yummy !

This place is sooooo good. It never disappoints. There are quite a few torta places in Oxnard & this one is by far my favorite. Can't forget about their licuados they are so good! Our personal favorite is the choco plátano. read more

Super friendly staff. Food is really good. Only cons and why I didn't give it 5 stars is the aesthetic appeal and there only 2 people usually working so it might take a little bit longer to get your food but place taste awesome and they have the best horchata ever! read more

Best tortas in town omg love the horchata from this place la torta maranita is amazing i give it a 10 out of 10

This is my favorite place on earth. I will never get tire of eating here ever their food is alwas fresh and so good and their horchatas are so good read more

Ordered two liquados de horchata fucking delicious. But they fucked up. They gave my girl a good amount but gave me literally half empty with the rest being foam. I mean I felt the difference between mine and hers. The fact that she was holding both and felt the weight difference and still gave it to us and didn't say shit is why I'm giving you stingy fucks 1 star. Shoulve made more if you saw you didn't make enough. Shit was lime 7.00 dollars. I was not satisfied at all. Fuck this place at least the people or just that lady I don't care there's other places that sell bomb ass liquados they aren't the only ones. Skip them. Assholes. read more

Have you tried their tortas!? Bomb.com!!! Also great price!!! The customer service was great. Highly recommend! read more
