José and Angel gave good customer service, food came out and fast and efficient. Felt welcomed and not judged read more

Had the carne asada burrito. It was very good. From San Diego and the best taco shops are there. Las Palapas was delicious but different flavors. Carne asada was juicy and tender. read more

Came from out of town. Ordered food Friday 12/6/24 Spent over $100 on food: tacos, quesadilla, carne asada, rice & beans. The only good thing was the rice & beans. Everything else was awful. Stay Away....Choose Somewhere Else... Definitely Will Not Be Back read more

You're in. You're out. This place is pretty busy. And for good reason they have great homemade salsa, friendly staff and a truck stop across the street and very busy Chevron stations. They are based next door to. They have beer and margaritas. I don't think I've ever seen that before. Plus they have some lovely little palapas which are confront tables outside which is the name sake of the restaurant. So if you like a lovely sunny afternoon lunch, this place is perfect. I've had the bean and cheese burrito. I thought it was excellent. I think the beans are super creamy other than the carne asada. I also thought it was good. I think if I were to get the fish I would maybe ask for crispy and a little extra sauce and your choice of flour or corn tortillas. These guys do it right? read more

Las Palapas - Scrimp tacos. Ok. Shrimp and getting smaller - Mexican Near Me - Yuma, Arizona

We came here when I was visiting family and the tortillas were so gummy and pastey I could have cried

Went there last night with a galpal for her birthday dinner. Jose was our server and we both agree that the food was excellent and the service was friendly and professional. We dined on the outside patio which was a great option for a warm evening. We will be returning soon. read more

This place is no longer good. I regret going there. The shrimp tacos were disgusting. Last time going, for sure. Go eat somewhere else.

Again, my ratings are always based on what they're trying to be, not some lofty "objective" standard. Stopped for a quick shrimp taco on my way to San Diego. Freshly made, not oily or greasy at all, and a good value at $4. So on my way back a week later, a bit more hungry, had both a fish and a shrimp taco. Same perfect quality. My new go to on this regular trip. Bonus- restroom was perfectly clean! read more

my go to spot! the food is great and the ceviche is a hit! chelsea who works the register is a sweetheart! remembers my order and who I am when I walk in! i highly recommend this place! read more

Oh Heck no!!!!! One shrimp taco One ice water $8.60 Cancel that order Live nearby. Wondered if it's good. For 8.60 I'll never know read more

Super clean and friendly people working there. The food was really good too. The price was incredible. Will make this a regular stop when traveling to and from AZ and CA! read more

Excellent work by the team. As always great food and staff. Burrito tacos and salsa read more

I would give less than a one if I could. As a long time customer I have always enjoyed this place. But that changed today. I ordered an asada burrito. Upon the first bite I could tell something was wrong. I tasted a small separate piece of meat and yup it was rotten. 2 young men were operating the facility on a Sunday they made another burrito. I asked them to test the meat. They did and said they were not sure but it seemed okay. And before I left I tried the meat again and it was still rotten but not as bad as the first. They were not properly trained to handle that situation and they should have stopped serving the meat. And the owner didn't even want to make me another burrito and that it came out of the kid who was making the burritos pocket. Owner wasn't there. And from the sheer ignorance to assume the meat was good when it wasn't without the owner trying it. Really put a damper on things. I used to really enjoy going here. But I won't ever go back. And I hope people don't git sick how I did after eating just the one bite. If a restaurant can't stand behind there food and make sure the customer is taken care of they don't need to be in business. I wasn't offered a replacement, a refund or everything. Just another rotten asada burrito and I could take it or leave it. read more

It's pricey 6 shrimp tacos cost $24.00. That's $4.00 per taco. I can go to La Donna on Tuesday and get them for $1.89

Believe what you read, this place is amazing. Beans are super creamy, tortillas are something very special, and the asada is delightful! Go for the shrimp tacos or the pollo asado.....they are worth the trip! read more

Amazing experience and amazing food, highly recommend. The service was amazing and very kind. Great ambiance looks like an amazing place / is an amazing place. read more

Very nice customer service by the single/only person that appeared to be on staff at the time of our visit. I love to get a shredded beef taco in a hard shell, but well, they were out of shredded beef and didn't have rolled tacos. So we opted for a steak taco and a couple of quesadillas. Never seen a quesadilla like this one, some meat and cheese sandwiched between 2 small flour tortillas. The soft corn shell on my beef taco was soggy and fell apart, but the meat did taste really good. The whole adventure wasn't really filling as the portions were just a bit small for the prices. (Btw the menu board didn't have any prices on it so we had to order price-blindly) Again, the food was tasty but I kinda wish we'd chosen to go to the Taco Bell next door. read more

Delicious bean and cheese quesadillas! They charge for the guacamole now so that's a bummer.

The food was terrible. I have seen rolled tacos have more meat then the three street tacos had combined. The service was deplorable.. Has a fair sitting area but for $11.99 for three carne Asada St. tacos that had maybe 4, 1/4" pieces of Carne Asada in there no cheese no fillers. I do not recommend this place. I should've known when I walked in, and there was nobody in the place. The place made me feel like a dungeon. read more

I go there often. I love their beans! I'm pretty spoiled there. They know me by name and always good service

Had to stop for gas in Yuma at lunch time, and happened to notice this little Mexican place next to the gas station. Literally the best fish tacos I've had in a long time. Tables to sit and eat and take a break from your drive. I ordered to go, and my order was ready in just a few minutes. But the food was as good as the best authentic Mexican good I've had. What a pleasant surprise! I'll definitely keep this on my travel list of great food stops. read more

Went there a second time today and they were out of burritos but they still made it happen for me and my wifes usual! The service was great as always! read more

The food is very pricy for what you get. They said they didn't have flour tortillas when I ordered my tacos but when the bf quesadilla showed up it had a flour tortilla. Very little carne in the tacos. read more

The food was SO good! And it was plenty for a hearty meal. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Location May put you off at first, but give it a try! read more

We ordered food at 11:45am today. Two people ordered ahead of us. They got their food, ate their food and left. We were still sitting waiting for our food. 30 minutes went by, no one else walked in. We waited and waited. I finally asked how much longer. The lady said "you didn't get your food yet?" I replied with "no" she said "why didn't you tell me?" How was I supposed to know she would forget? She asked me what would make it right. She should of just offered a refund of a gift card for the future. Terrible. We sat there with no food and are just now leaving. An hour later. I managed a restaurant and this is not how you should treat costumers. A discount would of been nice. The owner should be ashamed. read more

These are the best Griled Shrimp tacos in Az!! Great service!!! I'm from San Diego but always stop here. There salsa bar is stocked and fresh. read more

Las Palapas - Salsa Bar - Mexican Near Me - Yuma, Arizona

I love these gas station tacos!! For real, i stop here on the way to San Diego about a handful of times a year. The fish tacos are such a great surprise! Fried fish, they look totally unassuming but OMG, they are always so good. I've had a few other menu items which were all fine but nothing as pleasantly surprising as the fish tacos. Idk how I even ended up in here the first time, it's been a few years and it doesn't have the most curb appeal but I'm so glad to have found it. read more

Freaking hair in my over priced ceviche and regardless of the hair it was just onions and cucumbers not even good shrimp Thank God I didn't get food poison.. when we told they lady she made a comment that no one there has blonde hair.. like I planted it umm sorry I don't have black roots Soo try again That didn't even refund it just sent back out another helping of ceviche from the same gross container Plus the chips sucked read more

We recently moved to Yuma and have made Las Palapas our go to restaurant and go almost twice a week. It is kind-of a bit of a dive but the food is authentic. WE WILL NO LONGER GO THERE (!!!) as the OWNER has told his staff that they are no longer allowed to make their fish tacos grilled, that they have to remain deep-fried!!!!! What-the-heck!?!?!? No reason given. I have food allergies as well, CAN NOT EAT FRIED FOOD. What kind of an establishment "turns away" business??? When I was told they could no longer prepare grilled tacos for us, I was also told we are NOT THE ONLY CUSTOMERS who order grilled tacos. SUCH A SHAME as we used to take visiting family and friends. NOT ANYMORE..... WE ALSO FOUND OUT the owner KEEPS THE TIP MONEY FOR THE HOUSE if the tip is written on the receipt....SUCH A SCAM! read more

I was craving tacos and came here to have lunch with my brother. I ordered the carne asada tacos I also wanted to have a birria taco but was told they don't make them anymore even though they have it up in the menu ( they should probably remove it from the menu), there wasn't many people there so I couldn't understand why it was taking so long since I only ordered three and my brother four tacos. They had the doors open so there were flies inside and they have an open salsa bar so I think they should have covers for when they do have the door open. The limes they have are the very tiny ones and were so dry that when I squeezed them they were very tart. The carne asada tacos were a mixture of burnt and fatty meat. I liked the tortillas and the guacamole on them but other than that I have had better tacos elsewhere. read more

I had the Dos Fish Taco plate combo (two fish tacos, rice, beans, chips & drink $8). The 1st fish taco was hot, succulent & tasty but the second was much smaller, stringy with a darker fishier fillet. Not nearly as good as the 1st taco. The servings of beans & rice & chips are generous. The guacamole was okay but did not seemed freshly made, most likely packaged. The 32oz soda (Pepsi products or iced tea) was also large but I wanted carbonated water & there wasn't a soda-only option on their machine. It's a lot of food for $8 but could have been better. read more

One of my favorite taco shops. I love all their tacos but I mainly love the shrimp tacos. They also have great breakfast burritos that are fairly large and I also like their shrimp ceviche. The service is always fairly quick for pick up or dine in. read more

Stopped in on our way back to California and were pleasantly surprised at how fresh and tasty this Mexican food is!! Had the quesadilla plate with an added taco! The chicken quesadilla was flavorful and hearty! read more

The cashier wasn't friendly and after ordering ceviche, she washed her hands but then she spent the next 15 minutes doing all kinds of things like touching the tv remote to change station, etc before getting my simple order of ceviche. They only gave me a little amount of chips, mostly very small broken pieces and wanted to charge me for more. I would not recommend them! Very unprofessional and unclean and not sanitary ! read more

Overpriced, the small portions could be overlooked if the food was good. The batter on the fish tacos was soaked in oil, the carne asada tacos had teeny bits of beef, top this off with drinks from a really gross looking drink dispenser. It's sad when good restaurants go out of business during these COVID times but you've gotta wonder how places like this stay open. Do not recommend. read more

Stopped in for a quick bite before our drive back to Phoenix around 10am and was very happy to see they were opened so early in the day! I ordered one carne asada and taco and one baja shrimp taco with a side of beans. The carne was sooo good, especially with all the fixings you can add from the salsa bar! The shrimp taco was a bit of a let down with tiny shrimp engulfed in fried crust. This may sound weird, but the beans were the best part! So fluffy and delicious! On our way out we tried to say thank you and good bye to the staff, but couldn't seem to find anyone. I'd definitely stop in for a meal while passing through again :) read more

If I could could give no stars I would. We came in about 8:45pm and was told they are no longer serving anything that's fried. Which I find very strange. After asking why, I was told because they were closing. That's very bad for business. Businesses should serve everything until they close. On top of this, the salsa was all gone, they weren't serving sodas and they gave a table spoon of meat in the tacos. I will be reporting this business to the better business bureau. Bad service and bad food! read more

Beware of the salsa nazis at both locations! Some people actully want more than a few ounces of salsa with their burrito and when i filled a water cup about 1/2 full with salsa, the worker came by my table , reprimanded me for using the cup instead of tiny containers, then told me i had to pay a couple dollars extra. My husband just paid it, but i doubt i will go back to eat there now..... just bad customer service! Too bad, because the food reasonably good. ' read more
