Visited yesterday. Spent almost 30 minutes in line and to receive my food. I ordered 2 bean and cheese tacos and 1 sausage and egg. The bean was primarily on one side and cheese tossed in. My kids didn't want to eat it bc it didn't look appealing. I added the sausage and egg to their taco. It was one tiny piece of sausage for each of their tacos along with a few sprinkles of dried up over cook egg. At over $4/taco, and almost a 30 minute wait, this is not what you expect. There were maybe 5-7 cars in line. I also ordered a cup of chicken tortilla soup (which did not have much flavor, but I suspect because I visited early), and I ordered a guacamole taco with corn tortilla. This is the second time I order this taco and did not get what I ask for. Instead, I got an avocado taco...smh. I ended up late to my event, despite leaving my house 1.5 hours early to allow for time to stop for breakfast. Because of the wait, I'd say not good for kids. The drive through service was excellent. The tortilla were nice and soft. Next time I visit it will only be for tortilla(s read more

Food was a disaster. Went in for breakfast tacos - the tortillas were like warm or cold, the beans in our bean and cheese tacos were cold and the cheese wasn't even able to melt a little. The chilaquiles taco was terrible and we couldn't get past the first bite. How does a Mexican restaurant screw up a bean and cheese taco???? read more

The service at the front of the house needs work. You walk in and get ignored until staff feels like helping you. When they do acknowledge your existence you get a mumbled "can I help you?" The food tastes freshly made and is always yummy. The restaurant is always clean. The wait time on food also could be improved. Overall the experience while I'm dining in is pleasant however, the service at the beginning with the host and cashier needs to be more inviting in my opinion. I'm sorry that me being a paying customer is irritating you. Is what I think while I'm standing there. read more

Las Palapas - Flauta and soup combo - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

There are other Las Palapas that are great but this one is NOT. Very hit or miss everytime I come. From receiving order wrong, to getting poorly made food. This time I ordered the steak bowl and received more rice than anything else with 4 pieces of edible meat. My daughter ordered pancakes which are available all day. They were extremely thin, rubbery and she couldn't eat them. Save yourself money go to another location. read more

I don't understand how you can get tacos wrong after I told the cashier my order three times and still get it wrong.. three shrimp tacos with just cheese and sour cream.. no lettuce.. they put lettuce no sour cream and I paid extra for it.. like come in.. I also said flour shell they gave me dry corn like you guys are getting worse not better. Ambience was not there either.. like just why so disappointed read more

Always got my order here and the crew knew it by memory, always a smile and a hello and thats hard to find nowadays. Every morning these guys got my order right and it was always a good experience. I hate moving from here and these guys are one reason why. I wish this store the best because thay have the best crew. Yours truly the crispy chicken tack with no lettuce guy! read more

Terrible location! Everything about the visit was bad. We went through the drive through and got told to wait further up in the line. We waited for over 15 minutes and got home and the order was incorrect. Absolutely terrible. read more

I live down the street and was coming here once a week with the family. Unfortunately, the food kept changing even though we ordered the same thing every time. We stayed away for a few weeks and came again tonight. Certainly not the best experience again. Ordered a different item and the item arrived to the table with sauce and melted cheese toppings that were not said on the menu. Also waited about 35+ minutes after drinks arrived then another 15 minutes to just and try to get the waitress to check us out. Place was a quater full. Ugh, such a bummer. Really wanting this place to work for us since it's the closest restaurant; but unfortunately we will need to start looking elsewhere. read more

This is a brand new location that is kept very clean, service is quick and efficient. Plenty of parking, seating, and waiting (to go orders) seating available. Cat was my server and she was absolutely fantastic, made sure I had everything and was prompt. I like that the chips were served warm, had different salsa offerings, my "small" drink was actually huge, and I had the choice of corn or flour tortillas on the side. I had the chicken enchiladas con crema which were really good! I switched out the beans for a little "salad". Overall I am very pleased with this restaurant! read more

I was really disappointed with my recent visit(12/13/25). I left a tip that DID cover the 15% service charge, only to find out later that the restaurant added an additional tip on top of what I already left. The food itself was fine, but the way the bill was handled makes me hesitant to return. Transparency matters, and this experience missed the mark. I will be sure to go by and let them know as well since I will be moving by that area soon. What a DAMMMMMM SHAME!!! read more

We have been here twice. The first time was just after they opened, the second was about a month later. The first time we went, food was completely cold, service was extremely slow (they just opened so we gave them the benefit of the doubt), and the beans had a burnt taste. I held off on reviewing them because they had just opened. So we gave it another shot. Second time was slightly better. Food was still lukewarm, my wife's order was completely wrong, but other than that it was ok. So they get an extra star for that. It's unfortunate because this is right by our house. We will have to go back to our normal location. read more

Okay, so I'm learning not to believe everything on Yelp. Today I tried La Palapas for the first time, and it was an experience. I decided to walk there from my house -- about 45 minutes -- which made the food feel even more rewarding when I sat down. The place itself feels good: clean, nice atmosphere, friendly staff. I ordered the tamales plate that came with rice, beans, and salad. The sauces were the star for me -- especially the red and green. They've also got a brown one that's spicier, but I passed this time. Since it was happy hour, I added a mango margarita and some guacamole. All in all, about $25-27 for everything, and I really enjoyed it. The walk, the food, the drink -- it all came together. I'll definitely be back again. Pictures coming soon. Jasmine was my waitress , awesome personality!!! read more

Saw this relatively new location (Talley Rd & Culebra) on our way home and decided to stop in for dinner. Glad we did! Louis, our Server, was friendly and efficient from start to finish. Our food was freshly cooked; yet, didn't take too long to arrive. The Restaurant was Clean and well staffed. The new General Manager (Cipriano) stopped by our table to ensure everything was as expected. We will be back! By the way, they also have a Bar and several big screen TVs. read more

Las Palapas - Dining Room view of the Bar area - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

The food is so cold !!!! Blue collar worker here, wake up early and probably the first one to be at the restaurant, tacos are always cold, food taste is so bland and the portion is crazy little for what you pay. how are you gonna give me a potato taco with a side of egg like that ain't even a full egg, expect better results than this! read more

Las Palapas - Not even a full egg in there! potato taco with a side of egg smh - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This location is ridiculously terrible. Service is slow waited in drive thru on a Monday afternoon for at least 15 mins. When I got to window the woman at the window was on talking on her phone, a separate employee came to take my payment. Order a few tacos and they are TINY! Used a few items from home to show size comparison.. and on top of everything they have the nerve to ask for tips. read more

Las Palapas - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Such a disappointment . Unprofessional Lack of compassion Literally over an hour wait Told everything was being made fresh, got it cold So many cars got served, people got sat ate and left Waiter told us we came when they're closing, since they close at 9 and had to go orders to do, we got here at 7:20. We tried to ask to serve at least the kids first, they didn't do that. Got food no silverware They literally told us that their priority is To-go orders and drive thru, not dine in, all while constantly arguing with us. read more

Service is mediocre and food is good but not great. There are other Las Palapas that I prefer over this one. When choosing a restaurant this would not be my first choice for Mexican food. read more

On-line order, followed instructions for pick-up, took longer and the service was absolutely horrible. Called to advice of curbside as required- only to have they pick to say "it's busy, you'll have to get off" The getting off isn't a big deal but the lack of courtesy and service was wild. Never going back- horrible service read more

It takes like 20-30 minutes to get your order when in the drive thru! It's insane, like what could even be taking this long? Isn't all the food pre-prepped? This is the second time I've come here and both times the wait has been excruciatingly long. Never coming back again. read more

They take so long! We thought it was due to it being the first month it opened but it's been about 3 months and this is why we rather drive somewhere else because of their wait times. They are horrible. Their food is also not the greatest we got carne guisada one night and it looked like wet dog food it was disgusting. I ordered chorizo and egg and it was so greasy I threw the tortilla away. They need to step it up the one by Alamo ranch is 10x better. Grand tequila will be opening soon down the street and I'm sure they will take their business. read more

Las Palapas - Tacos - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I've come to this location multiple times, and each time the service is horrible. The food is fine, just like any other las palapas. But this location, the people are rude! They don't check on you, it takes forever to even order. I'm honestly done and will be driving the extra 25minutes to go to Alamo Ranch. read more

They're right next to where I work and I was super excited when they first opened. Unfortunately their food is not great. Specifically, every time I have ordered tacos made with carne guisada, asada or beef fajita, the meat was overwhelmed with gristle and inedible. I chalked it up at first to newly opened issues like training, but it's clear now that cheap meat laced with gristle is just their standard policy. read more

I don't know why I gave this Palapas another chance. Maybe because I compare it to the others who are way better and kinder. I made a to go order online and tried to pick it up though the drive through. They said I had to come inside. Came in and 8 people working stared at me no hello how can we help you..nothing but ugly stares. So I say and waited for a good while ; mind you I ordered way ahead and it wasn't even ready. Finally a younger girl walks up with good and says "for who " I said my name and she hands me food with a not great attitude. Last time I believe a bae back doubled as our sever inside and was dirty with dirty hands , nails , and clothes. The food isn't as great as the other locations ether. Sorry guys but it's a horrible experience service and food. read more

So I've tried this location a few times, all around dinner time. Let me tell you that it is very poorly managed and a mess. First off, it is a new and busy area, but the management refuses to keep the restaurant fully staffed or properly trained. This last time I went, I waited for 20 minutes before someone took our drink order. Then another 30 for our food. It was only two of us! Never got a refill, and they forgot one item that we ordered. No one seems to know what they are doing and the waitstaff seemed to be reciting a script, every time they interacted with me. The food was cold, over salted, and looked like slop on a plate. I'm extremely disappointed in this location. I've been going to Las Palapas for years, and it seems to be going downhill, especially if this is how they treat their newest location. Better off going to a food truck for actual authentic and fresh food! read more

The location is very clean and usually get seated fairly quickly. However, the several times I have been to location around 7-8pm, the food was overly salted. Sauces and anything that is grilled is so salted it is hard to eat. Usually end up removing any sauces are wipe off any food that was grilled. I did notify the waitress to notify the manager each time. Gave this location many attempts, but sadly will not return. read more

This place has not made a single order right since it's been opened, their employees don't know Mexican food, they take forever, their drive through line is always long, and the food is always over greasy. I live closer to 211 and I will drive to potranco or down to Culebra and 1604 to get the same food made right and still be home quicker. This place sucks. read more

The worst customer service. Employees just standing around doing nothing. No one acknowledged me. I ordered a potato and egg taco and this is what I got. Didn't even eat it! Don't waste your money! read more

We were so hoping this would be our go to Mexican Food place in the area. This was our second visit to this location and it was so bad. My husband was up all night getting sick. My husband had ordered two tacos 1 chicken ranch taco and a beef puffy taco. The puffy taco was saturated with grease, we spoke with the manager and they sent a new one but it was just as bad if not worse. My meal was the fajita plate served without tortillas, the meat looked grey like it had been cooked in water, certainly not fired or broiled. I think I dodged getting sick since I only ate the rice and beans. read more

I've been here a few times since they've opened. The servers and hosts are all great and the food comes out fast. The bartenders all know what they're doing and are very friendly. They had some growing pains when they first opened, but it seems like they worked those out. Great spot to grab a beer and some food after work. read more

It took us 40 minutes to receive 3 tacos and soup.. it was only 11 am and we came inside because we thought it would be faster than the drive through, WRONG read more
