    I will always give the great restaurant 5 stars The founder of Las Palapas was fatally stabbed by a family member at a home on the North Side, sources told KSAT on Tuesday. My condolences go out to the family and all the employees of allLas Palapas restaurants here in San Antonio and beyond .

    The food here was AMAZING!!!! The service was great. The ambiance was nice. The restaurant was a little too cold but besides that, I was able to enjoy my meal. Thank you Las Palapas for awesome service and great food.

    Soup combo

    We went there at about 4 40 pm yesterday to enjoy the nice weather on the patio. The restaurant was very clean inside and out and the staff was very respectful and kind. Our server was named Pepe and he was very personable. The meal came with free chips and salsa. They were just okay, not very flavorful. The appetizer we chose was the Sopes plate. I had never tried these delicious tapas before but was blown away by their amazing texture and flavor! They had beans, guac, meat and a perfect base. I got the LP soup plate that came with a bowl of chicken soup and a flauta. The best part of the dish was the refried beans with melted cheese, it came with flour tortillas to make it into a bean and cheese taco. The flauta was not too flavorful but with sour cream and guac was okay. It was pretty big! As for the soup, I've gotten it at other las palapas and this time the flavor fell flat. That being said the rest of my family enjoyed their entrees. Now for the best part: the Sopapillas! These took a little while to come out but it was worth the wait! Soft, warm, fluffy, sweet and oh my the honey drizzle was the perfect touch! For only 3.99 you have to get these! Overall we left full and happy for the price! You can feed a family of 5, plus get an app and a few soft drinks for around 100 before tip which is great in my book! However all the food took quite long to come out. This allowed us to watch the sunset and enjoy our time together but just know it's not quick.

    Waited 25 minutes in an empty restaurant for this skimpy taco. I will not be coming back.

    I want to start by saying management was so sweet. I ordered while we were waiting for the fiesta medal event they were having and the manger gave us a tiny cup of soda extra for my daughter. Then we ordered a kids meal and employees were so kind and being patient while we decided on what to order. Food was delicious and the price was reasonable for what you got also comes with a drink! Great experience!

    Wonderful as always! This is our favorite Las Palapas! Oliver and Pepe are the best--they always make sure our meal is perfect and delicious, and that the entire experience is outstanding. Thank you!

    My family and I frequent this location at least twice a week, sometimes even for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Unfortunately, tonight's experience was extremely disappointing. I ordered four crispy tacos with everything on the side so they wouldn't get soggy by the time I got home. For nearly $4 per taco, I expected better quality and care in preparation. Instead, I received broken shells, small 4oz cups of lettuce, tomato, and cheese, no hot sauce included, and barely enough chicken to make two tacos. When I called to address the issue, the manager Jamie was rude, dismissive, and unprofessional. Rather than apologizing or offering to make things right, he only offered to replace two tacos and acted as if I was inconveniencing him. For someone in leadership to speak to a loyal customer this way is unacceptable. I was giving him the opportunity to make it right, but his lack of professionalism and compassion showed how poorly trained he is in handling customer concerns. Because of this, I drove 20 minutes back to the store to return the food and get my money back. This location not only seems to nickel and dime its customers, but also demonstrates a serious lack of customer service and accountability. After years of being a loyal guest, my family and I will no longer be visiting this location. I hope upper management reviews this situation carefully and provides proper coaching to ensure future guests are treated with the respect and courtesy they deserve.

    Thank you, Alejandra.

    This is the first time I've written a review on Yelp complimenting a server. We dined this afternoon and our server was exceptional. She anticipated our needs, refilling our drinks promptly. She provided excellent service without being intrusive, and her timing was perfect. She was attentive throughout our meal. Kudos to the manager for hiring her! We will certainly request her again on our next visit. Thank you, Alejandra!

    Las Palapas off Potranco in the far westside has certainly met my expectation. My wife and I decided to dine here on a busy Friday evening and we were quickly seated. The atmosphere is very open, bright with Mexican theme concept and the air was a bit on the cool side otherwise it was very spacious! The service was great, our waiter made sure our needs were met and had excellent suggestions! We ordered the Dosarita, frozen perfect blend of tequila and Margarita mix with an upside down Dos XX was a great way to kick off the weekend! For the entrees, my wife ordered the Enchiladas con Creme plate, rich and creamy sauce topped on rolled soft chicken filled corn tortilla was great in every bite! I ordered the crispy chicken tacos, the chicken is packed with flavor like they marinate it while cooking it and inside a crispy taco shell, it was really good, as for the beans and rice were the cooked well with the perfect amount of seasoning. Overall I highly recommend this Las Palapas if you're ever in the neighborhood for their prices, food, and drinks, I'll be sure to visit again!!!

    Came in on a Saturday morning, by the looks of the parking lot we could tell it was a busy morning. Finding parking was not an issue and neither was finding a place to seat. Martha greeted us at the bar, took our order and made us a couple of tasty drinks :) This Palapas is different from the others I've been to, it's super cozy with beautiful indoor and outdoor seating. Everyone is very nice and attentive, they know when something is not going as smooth. At some point a very nice lady came out from the kitchen and apologized for how long our food was taking, I didn't even notice lol! We were having such a good time but we really appreciate her coming over and making sure we got our food.

    We love Las Palapas and so so glad this one opened up so close to home. It's very nice and has a bar in the front of the restaurant unlike many other locations. It kinda gives the feel of a bar and grill. This is my second visit here, and I got the roll back special today. It was huevoes rancheros for $3.99. What a steal! It was delicious and very filling. My mom and daughter got the half stuffed veggie avocado with soup. They both enjoyed their food, too. Service wasn't the best today, but I figure it was because it was lunchtime. That definitely won't deter me from coming back. I highly recommend this place.

    We went to the new Las Palapas on Potranco. The wait (during peak dinner hour) was only about a ten minute wait. The service from our waiter was excellent. We got complimentary chips and salsa that was so fresh and the chips were so crunchy and complimented by the salsa. The food was attractive, temperature appropriate, as delicious. We will definitely be back as this was a win win. The prices were very reasonable. Great new restaurant that isn't fast food with a welcoming atmosphere. Great job from these happy diners!

    I have been here several times. It's one of those staple tourist places that you have to visit when…read moreyou are in town. Service is fast, place is decently clean for the foot traffic, the servers all look happy and eager to work. I ordered tortilla soup, I usually like it with a cup of rice and avocado like most places serve it. However, I definitely think this is a safe Mexican food restaurant when it comes to not overdoing it with spices and the extra stuff. My soup had a decent amount of chicken. I had a mimosa, loved that they used fresh orange juice. Flour tortillas were delicious! Before heading out you need to have the sweet bread!! So goooodd!

    People say when in San Antonio, do like the San Antonian's. Nobody really says that. I mean, I just…read moredid, but I also just made it up. With that being said, let's make up a review. Except I'm not actually making the review up, I've been to the place. Both San Antonio and the restaurant moments away from being reviewed. I'm always down for solid Mexican food. It's always pretty damn good. I mean, at the pure base of things, it's basically the same few ingredients, just different vessels to get it to your mouth. I'm never bad about that. I love transportation. Mi Tierra was a pretty great looking place. Plenty of space, a nice outside waiting area, plus a bakery. I have never been to a place with a bakery that I didn't like. It seemed like a very authentic place, and that's coming from a resident of Michigan. A resident that eats Taco Bell. A resident who eats Taco Bell and think's THAT'S authentic Mexican. The first thing I noticed was that this place did not seem to serve burritos. Not a marker really for me, but it was something I've never came across before. I also thought that you were stuck ordering enchiladas or tacos in a meal type of setting. Upon further questioning, you can order a la cart. That was a relief. I ended up ordering the enchiladas Verdes because sometimes I ignore my color palate and go for green. And because I can't just stop eating one form of meat, cheese, and sauce, I ordered a taco. Actually, I just ordered a taco because I wanted a dryer enchilada. Or did I order the enchiladas because I wanted a wetter taco...I don't know anymore. Anywho, I ground beef, American style taco. Now, I've always been a big fan of chips and salsa. Some salsa hits, some miss. Some salsa is pureed and is basically red water. Some salsa is just a full tomato. I like my salsa like I like my orange juice. With extra calcium. Wait. Mild pulp. That's it. This salsa pretty much hit those notes. Had good flavor and a little spice left to linger. The main course came out and everything looked delicious. Green enchiladas looked exactly like I expected. However, it took me a moment to realize I was not looking at a burrito...but instead, my taco. It was served a peculiar way. wrapped, seam down, with a little bit of the meat on top, pico and lettuce on the outside, next to it. It was a burrito peacocking as a taco. I've never seem this display before, and I have been to many Taco Bell and non-Taco Bell restaurants. The taste was pretty good, though. All the taco flavor in a burrito jacket. The enchiladas were pretty decent, too. Everything tasted like it had all the ingredients and that they were in all the right spots. No doubt about it, I was full after e

    Surprised the wife with a trip to Pan Fila for her favorite hot chocolate and concha. We started…read morewith the Pan Fila Conchota combo that is a combination of the two that is 1/2 gallon of hot chocolate made using a base of Abuelitas with additional cinnamon, and cocoa along with something special. It was delicious! The concha was soft, buttery and flaky, with just the right sweetness. We took home the majority of it and it stayed nice and soft instead of turning hard like so many others. We decided to try several appetizers to go along with our concha to get a wider taste of their food than we would by just ordering a couple entrees. Let me tell you, this was a great idea! We ordered the Tosti-Ceviche Verde, Panela Asado, Mexican Street Corn, and their Spicy Bean Dip. The Ceviche Verde was excellent, the freshness of the fish and shrimp was wonderful with the chipotle mayo and avocado. We chose to have it on the salsa Verde Tostitos and it was all great combination. The Panelo Asado was a completely new dish for us and was extremely good with a savory flavor from the salsa Tlaquepaque that mixed well with the Panela cheese. Their tortillas though not made in house, are made for them and taste like mom made them. The Mexican Street Corn was great and had the perfect bit of char taste from the corn. It was creamy and flavorful, we did think it could use just a tad more lime juice though. The Spicy Bean Dip was very good. You can't go wrong with Oaxaca, Chorizo, and pieces of pork mixed with some mildly spicy beans. Our server was fantastic. She had great recommendations for us, and was quick with checking on our drinks and generally helping us throughout our dinner. The food was prepared quickly, was hot, tasteful and refreshing. We definitely will be going back, and recommend Pan Fila to all of you.
