I'm a big fan of La Palapas, but this is my first visit to this particular one. I was impressed with the consistency and what I'm used to from La Palapas. Our service was great. The margaritas were amazing as usual, and the food was delicious with very generous portions. I love trying their Barbacoa on weekends and I tried and true. Their chicken tortilla soup that by far is the best around. read more

We love this Las Palapas! The people that work their are so kind and sweet. Usually Mimis or Carmen is our server and they are both attentive, efficient and have wonderful personalities. The food! Consistently delicious, out in a timely manner, and you can tell the cooks care about what they're serving. We especially enjoy their breakfast, but the green enchiladas are always a hit too. Inside is casual diner style seating, booths and tables, nothing wild. The restaurant and the bathrooms are always clean. They recently got new booths that are super comfy. Even though it's a chain, not all Las Palapas are the same. This location is one our favorites, definitely the one we go to when we're in town. read more

Taylor was great. Friendly, polite and said thank you literally every time she came to the table to check on my family. Cheese enchiladas, borracho beans and green/ red sauce were awesome. We will be back. Nice thing as also the place wasn't busy and had a bar with dressed beer and margaritas. Only downfall was the ladies stalls walls needed a wipe down and the stainless brackets needed a scrub. You could see the restroom check off form, however. read more

Las Palapas - They were so good I ate the first one before I could take a pic - Salad Near Me - New Braunfels, Texas

We attended a football game in New Braunfels last Friday night and were starving. Someone suggested Las Palapas. We looked and they were closing in 30 min- a big no no in my book after working at restaurants for years. We decided to walk in to check out the vibe since it was close to the stadium and there are few late night restaurants except for Whataburger (always a winner!) Looks are deceiving. It appears as a fast food/drive thru stop. After walking in and seeing other football game fans walking in and the friendly attitude of the employees, we decided to stay. Former waitresss in me - no way couldn't have been this sweet and enthusiastic about serving customers 15 min before closing. The waitress and the hostess were working together- seating, explaining they were busy and may take a second, waiting on tables, taking orders, bussing tables, and all with a smile!! Best staff ever!!! Their enchiladas were good and their bar was yummy!! We also had their nachos and they were so good after sitting at a game - hit the spot! Friendly service, and food was perfect after a 4 hour drive followed by a game. Give them a try! read more

For the price the food is very good. Hot sauce are fresh and tasty with different heat levels for your chips or food. Serve is always excellent for inside table service. Margaritas are a good price especially at happy hour. Check out their daily deals a great price for the right amount of food specially for us senior citizens. read more

Good for Tex Mex Fast Food.. we get the chicken ranch tacos & the jalapeño dip ... great for a lunch

Loved the Carne asada enchiladas. Their competitor across the parking lot, when asked for the same, could only tell me they had: "whatever was on the menu, nothing more". They offered chicken, ground beef, and fajita enchiladas none of which I wanted. What? So I drove over to Las Palapas, friendly, accommodating, and aimed to please. I have found my new eating spot, close to home. Las Palapas seemed apologetic for the reasonable up charge, which i had no problem with. BRAVO. read more

Let's just say that I am a fan of Las Palapas. Even saying that, I have to say that we have our favorite location and have only tried a few of the other locations. So tonight, we tried a new location. When we got to the restaurant, we found a very open parking lot that made us wonder "where is everybody". Then we walked in and found the same thing. At that point, we started to think maybe this was a bad idea tonight. However, a hostess greeted us immediately and was very attentive to where we would like to be seated. She took us to the seating area and obtained menus, water, chips & salsa, and utensils. Our waitress came quickly, and I wish I remembered her name. She was such a wonderful young lady and deserves recognition. She told us all about the specials for the day and for the rest of the week. We told her we would be back for the lunch special the next day:) I ordered the taco special as it was buy 2, get 1 free. She convinced me to try a taco that was different than my usual (I've looked on the menu since we ate but I didn't see it). That taco was a grilled chicken breast, quacamole, grilled onions, and cheese. The food came out quickly, and as I was starving, I attacked my food. Let me just say, this grilled chicken actually tasted like it just came off the grill(really). It was so good that I ate all my food before thinking about taking a picture. Will I return? Definitely. I think my favorite location has some competition, and I need to return and find out who our waitress was. read more

Everything we have eaten here is authentic! The service is good. We've become regulars so we know about the roasted salsa & homemade corn tortillas! Staying on the healthy side I Love their Al Carbon salad, very healthy & bountiful!! Their frozen margaritas are my husbands favorite! There's been some minor changes by management, but nothing we can't live with! read more

Cold when ordered too thin. It's convenient and I keep trying to give the place a chance but why are the flautas Cinammon stick thin. It's only tortilla and barely any chicken. The people are usually nice and service is fast. Flautas are always cold though. read more

Food is always consistent. My favs are the puffy chicken tacos, chicken flautas and breakfast tacos. I love that they have a drive through. Service is always good. Never had any major issues. It's a typical Tex mex restaurant. Clean restrooms. Friendly atmosphere. read more

Stopped in for lunch on 11/30. Wanted to order soup, but before ordering, we asked if the chicken soup was made with breast or dark meat. Initially the waitress said she "believes the soup is made with white meat - breast". We asked her to please confirm as "I believe" isn't the correct response. When she returned, she said she asked both the manager and the kitchen staff and both told her the chicken and chicken tortilla soup are both made with only white meat. So, both my wife and I each ordered bowls of chicken soup. Well, guess what we received? Two bowls of chicken soup with nothing but dark meat. In addition, mine had cheese which should only come in the chicken tortilla soup. We did inform the manager of our experience and that we asked prior to ordering. Also asked him how my soup had cheese when it should've have. His response was that he needed to "yell" at the kitchen staff. He did offer to replace our order with something else, but we elected to leave. This is the second visit in a row where we received terrible service and less than acceptable food. We will not be back. read more

This was our second time here and this location really is exceptional. The interior is a nice vibe-- clean, stylish. Staff was friendly and quick. Our food was fresh and made to order as always. Great location! read more

Great location, fast service excellent food. Nice arrangement of vegetables, staff, very nice I've even ordered beef tacos to go and driven 20 minutes back to my house and they still are crisp. Don't know how they do that. Great chicken, tortilla soup full of chicken, wonderful rich broth The vegetable enchiladas excellent mix nice grilled flavor Locations are easy to get in and out of as well as the drive-through Go here regularly read more

So, long story short! We got a new puppy and didn't want to leave her. We decided to use the drive-thru at Las Palapas on W HWY 46. As soon as we got to the ordering area, A joyful voice came on the intercom. He made us smile . He was positive, helpful, joyful and made us feel welcomed! We could not believe it!! NEVER EVER have we been through a drive thru and experienced someone that tried to make the customer feel so welcomed and cared for. He really cared! When we got to the window , we could not wait to see who this amazing young man was! Handsome, gorgeous smile that we felt in his voice ! WOW! What a super sweet young man! We had a short but sweet conversation. His name was Brandon ( like our son) ! Love this guy! So, management..., pay attention! DO NOT LET THIS YOUNG MAN GET AWAY WITHOUT A HUGE RAISE! SERIOUSLY!!!! We eat at this place quite often! Service is usually great! Food is FANTASTIC! Very clean place. We loved this guy! He truly made our experience fun and felt welcomed! 8-)))) THANK YOU , BRANDON! read more

The hubs felt like soup for a late lunch so off to La Palapas we went. Their chicken soup is really good! I was sick a couple weeks ago so he went and got me some of that yummy chicken soup. Boy it really hit the spot. Anyway, back to our late lunch. As you can see by the pics, he had chicken soup in a combo format. It's the soup with a flauta (also known as a rolled taco) and refried beans. I got a cheeeeese quesadilla. SO good! The restaurant was hoppin' for such an odd hour, but the place was clean and we got fast service. The server was on his second day on the job but did well and was very friendly. We really like La Palapas. We'll be back! read more

Stopped in to grab a quick breakfast while on the road home. I wouldn't say this meal was great but it was alright. The potatoes were cold and tasted like stale fries but other than that, the rest was ok for a quick breakfast. I've never been to a Las Palapas before and I always hear it's ok. I'd agree with that as there are many locations. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive! She checked on us often and had a great attitude. I don't know if I'd voluntarily eat here again for breakfast but I'd try their other plates for lunch/dinner. The chips and salsa were pretty good! read more

We love the rollback days and their tortillas are sooo good! We look forward to trying more.

This is the first time we have ever eaten at a Los Palapas. And the very last time too. We were the only customers in the drive thru. Ordered 2 Ground Beef Tacos with sour cream. It took about 5 min to get our order. The taco was barely warm. It was as if they took it out of the refrigerator. There was a smear of Sour cream. And the taste was nasty, as if the lettuce was soaked in bleach water. And the ground beef? Was it ground beef? Or something else? If a restaurant can not make a decent taco.... How can they possibly make anything else. The 5.00 Ground Beef Taco...Let this business fizzle out to make room for better restaurants. My dog is now burping up the taco. read more

Las Palapas - Gave the 5.00 ground beef taco to my dog. It was awful. - Salad Near Me - New Braunfels, Texas

for the price point, fantastic! I'm from out of town but would definitely eat at a few times a month if we had one local.

Ordered the sour cream enchiladas and they were very tasty. Refried beans and rice were also good. Tres leches cake is very moist and delicious as well! read more

Good hood but got ripped off.. ordered beans and got a tablespoon and a half of beans with tons of liquid and jalapeños. Paid too much for that. read more

Las Palapas - That's the amount of beans that came with my order. Not even 2 tablespoons of beans. So disappointed. - Salad Near Me - New Braunfels, Texas

Love their fresh tortillas and rollback specials which help my budget out when I don't feel like cooking. They have a monthly calendar of cheap rollback food specials featured on Mon and Wed. On Tuesdays they have a buy two tacos get one free and it even applies to breakfast tacos as well as lunch and dinner. Their picadillo mixture of seasoned ground beef with potatoes and bell pepper is always delicious and consistent. I like their chalupas, breakfast plates and chips and salsa. The staff is always friendly and polite and service is reasonable. Also try their green salsa as it never disappoints! read more

Las Palapas - Lobby entrance - Salad Near Me - New Braunfels, Texas

Just received my order thru the drive thru. Got home and had no salsa, the mama Ruth's flauta plate, cold. This plate should have a fried flauta and cheese on top. No melted, meaning not appropriately kept. And the rice, tastes like chalk and smell like, bad paint or cement. Pic to follow. I ordered 2 fajita tacos, no salsa, they asked, but it wasn't included. Because I saw through the order window, the attendant was trying to get salsa out of an empty container, so apparently no backup and for sure no communication that there is none. Should have also had that for the flautas. Again none. Don't go, it is not worth it, at all! One of the reasons I go, and I would guess others go, is because you get salsa and the food would be hot or at least warm. read more

The one at Creekside is delicious! This one I stopped at the drive thru for chips and queso and a bowl. The queso was super expensive (no meat in it or anything special). It was good, though. The bowl was absolutely disgusting. No avocado like it said, super salty like salt was spilled in it. Also, the chicken fajita meat in it was so hard. My fork wouldn't even go into it. I couldn't even eat a quarter of the bowl. I'm scared I might get food poisoning. read more

Always fresh and always the best customer service. Have never had a bad meal there. Margaritas are perfect.

Excellent food and service. We enjoyed the enchiladas plate and beef Street taco platter. First time to visit and we will definitely come back. read more

We keep wanting to give this place a chance. They have healthy food options, a full bar & convenient location. Major downside: 1 waitress at a time who waits tables, pulls from the bar & runs the cash register which equals to long waits.. Usually there is a manager, but seems to be mosty in the back. Tonight the family with loud crying babies broke the camels back. In my day, a parent took the child outside or to the bathroom. I don't suppose there's much we can to do about that issue. So, we took our food 'to go' & they missed out on a bar tab. Too bad so sad. It may be just this location? Who knows? 3 stars towards the food! read more

Ok, the food is fine. Any Las Palapas is going to provide consistent, mediocre Tex-Mex which is fine. It is what you would expect. My gripe with this particular location is when you hit the drive-thru to grab some breakfast tacos on a Saturday morning and there are only 3 customers in line you don't expect it to take 30 freakin minutes. This was not a singular event. This has occurred multiple times. These aren't hand-crafted delicacies made from the finest ingredients... we're talking about slapping some dadgum eggs on a tortilla! Go talk to chick-fil-a next door. They have 20 customers in line all day and you're in and out in under 5 minutes. Figure it out and it's a 3, maybe 4 star rating. read more

From time to time I like to take out a group of special needs adults to have Lunch. We usually try to call ahead to let a store manager know that we are coming and what day we will be coming. We told the store manager of this location that we would be there on November 6 to have lunch. Little did we know that we would be dealing with people that have no idea how to serve people. This is another restaurant in new Braunfels that likes to take advantage of special needs adults. We had one waiter that brought the food to us and made us serve it to our clients. Then charged us 18% gratuity to do his job. This waiter was also very rude to everybody at that table. The food was good. The atmosphere looked nice. The service was not so great. I don't agree with paying gratuity to people that don't deserve what they do. So we'll talk this one up to another restaurant that we will not go back to in new Braunfels, Texas with special needs adults. read more
