Best tacos I've had in Bangor, the meat and tortillas are traditional Mexican, and just as good as…read moreanything I've enjoyed in Mexico. Served with the tortilla and meat only and its choose your own adventure with the pico and hot sauce. Slightly discouraged about the price, 1 taco is $3.50, 3 are $9.00, or add a can of soda to the 3 for $10. I got tacos for myself and 7 and 9 year old, but it didn't come close filling anyone up. Just had comparable meal via truck in Salt Lake City; it was 5 tacos for 10. Their off to a great start, I'll be back in a few weeks to see how thing shake out. Gave it 4 stars because there isn't anything in town this good yet, easily 5 if the price went down or you got more food, 3 if some equal competition pops up.

We decided to eat in a regular restaurant rather than fast food for our most recent trip to Bangor…read more We were in the mall area and saw Las Palapas near the hotel and decided to try it for a change of pace. Our server was helpful and friendly. We started with the standard chips and salsa. I liked it fine, but the salsa was too spicy for my wife. The server offered some enchilada brown sauce for her instead. It was a nice thought, but my wife disliked the taste and, I must agree, when I sampled it I felt it tasted unsuitable, at least for that purpose. It was Margarita Monday and I would have liked to indulge, but I was driving so I demurred. We both ordered taco salads for our meal. Taco salad is also a Monday special, priced a dollar less than the regular dinner version. Just out of curiosity, after my wife ordered the lunch special with guacamole, I ordered the regular dinner version. Our salads looked about the same, except hers had more ground beef for whatever reason. So my experiment was inconclusive. The taco salad was pretty good, and we brought some home with us for later, so it was a good value these days at around $10 each. Ordinarily I would finish by saying we'll be going back again, but the spicy salsa is probably a deal breaker for my wife, unless we bring our own mild salsa!

The breaded cauliflower app would have been better with some salt/flavoring in the breading and the brussel sprouts had great flavor and texture but they burnt them a bit and it took away from making them a 10/10.

The salsa seemed sweet, like canned spaghetti sauce mixed with onion. The jalepeno poppers had zero heat and they were clearly from a frozen bag. Uniform in shape and size ...industrial. The center cheese was cold. I ordered the chicken fajitas and was presented with 3 whole chicken tenderloins on a grill plate with a tiny amount of green peppers and onions. Very little spice, no salt, bland, bland, bland. The cheese was not Cotija, it was shredded Monterey Jack I think. I tasted no chili, no cumin, no herbs. The rice resembled Southern dirty rice...not Mexican rice. I had to ask for cilantro amd lime. I was given about 1 teaspoon full of cilantro in a plastic cup, and 3 thin slices of lime from the bar. The service was great: my server was kind, attentive, and on point. 5 stars for service. 2 stars for food. It wasn't "bad," it just wasn't great or even close to TexMex or Mexican. Very bland, not freshly made on site...just meh. Reminded me of what one might serve in a school cafeteria or nursing home on "International Day."

Reasonable pricing, inside and outside seating (not a lot of either but enough the day I was there), and good food with a nice portion size.

Word is the salads are also good, as were the pork tacos my companion had. You order at the front and lunch is brought to you by the hostess. Will definitely go again!

It did fill up by the time I left (around 12:30). Was seated promptly in a booth, menu with silverware was provided. Menu is huge, took me a while to find the page with lunch specials. (Might have been nice to point it out.) I ordered the chicken burrito lunch special. Chips and salsa came quickly as did a soda. When lunch came, it was just placed and the waiter came and asked "how it was." My response was I haven't tried it yet. The enchilada was mostly rice, with some chicken, and the cheese sauce on the top was COLD. Pretty much the worst enchilada I remember. I ate 1/2 and waited for the waiter to come so I could get a check. English was a struggle for my waiter. I asked for $1 back from my $20 to cover lunch and tip. Said it a couple times, and he eventually just brought me full change to let me leave a tip. Normally, I would have just rounded up and left the $20, but it was just so bad I couldn't. There were many in the restaurant when I left so I'm going to hope I just picked the wrong item. Maybe I'll try again on a Tuesday night.
