First time here and absolutely did not disappoint! Had the chicken fajitas, chicken burrito, and chips + guac. Might be the best guac I’ve ever had. Everything was seasoned perfectly and very fresh. Only thing I would change is the online menus, I would love a physical menu.
I was extremely hesitant to try this spot because Mexican food in Pittsburgh is questionable. I was pleasantly surprised by how tasty our meals were and the great value of the happy hour menu. Wonderful service, good food, and nice drinks.
We recently hosted my sister’s bridal shower here and it was absolutely perfect. The staff were incredible and the food delicious. We had a space outside behind the main restaurant which was a bit warm but spacious. Jesus was easy to work with and prices were reasonable. Great music, curated by our server. Highly recommend!
I tried La Palapa’s food truck and it did not disappoint. The ingredients were super fresh and everything tasted great. Everything is first come first serve and they can run out especially if they are super busy.
We came here for a family reunion in Pittsburgh. This was one of the few places that was able to accommodate our large group of over 20 people in a reserved dining area. The management and staff did a wonderful job making our family dinner a success, for both adults and kids. The food was wonderful and the service was fabulous. Highly recommend!
I visit La Palapa since years ago and i love it! Margs, delicious food, great owner engagement and some live Luis Miguel
