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 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."

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.

This restaurant came highly recommended to me for Taco Tuesday dinner. I will try again as Lunch…read moreWednesday really wasn't good. Arrived at 11:30 and the parking lot was empty. 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.

I have been here a couple of mimes, once very recently. Overall we were satisfied with our visit…read more To begin with, despite it also being a busy gas station and convenience store, with m wife's mobility issues we didn't have to park far away or have me drop her off. The server was friendly and attentive, so though she forgot to bring a couple of small items we requested, it was easily fixed. This seems to be one of those basic American style restaurants: not with a broad or imaginative selection, nor one that I'll knock your socks off, but rather with basic food offerings of middling quality. For example, my cheeseburger and onion ring were fine, but not such that I would bring them up later when talking to a friend about restaurants in general. My wife ordered the chef salad, and it was generous, but it took up so much room on the oval plate that she risked pushing items onto the table with every bite. Bringing a second plate from the start would have been a good idea, but she fixed it by asking early for a box to bring some home, as she knew she wouldn't be able to finish it anyway. She was pleased that there was no extra charge for the packet of guacamole she requested. Sometimes it seems places up charge for every little thing. Speaking of prices, they seem elevated for what they offer, but when I thought about it, it felt high compared to what we were paying pre-inflation a year or two ago, not compared to other restaurants. So it is dependable enough so I would be willing to go back (if they are like smaller Dysarts branches they must have good pizza) but it will not be a destination restaurant for us.
