La Palapa Grill & Cantina

Cute restaurant , good sized portions, and Mariachi style band on the weekends? Awesome!

I'm going to fantasize about the chicken quesadilla for a long, long time. Make sure you get Jeff as your server...he's friendly , attentive, and fast. Couldn't have had a better experience.

This is especially nice in the warmer months when the patio area is open and the kids can get fresh air and the noise they make isn't contained by walls.

They have always had the best quesadillas here. Been getting them since the early 90’s!!!

More "Tex" than "Mex", but don't miss Gilberto 's Specialties, which are all Baja inspired fresh seafood dishes and they do a great house margarita !

Best Mexican restaurant in the Ellicott City/Columbia area. My husband (a mole sauce self-proclaimed connaisseur) highly recommends the chicken mole here!

Lunch specials are served 11:30am-3pm and start at $8.25. Check the calendar on their website for deals like all you can eat tacos and free dessert on select nights.

Awesome maragritas- same owners & menu as El Azteca in Clarksville or Pochanga in Ellicott City = DELICIOUS! Highly recommend.

Lunch specials are 11:30am-3pm starting at $8.25. Happy hour is Mon-Fri 4-7pm where you can get $1 off drinks and $5 appetizers . Check the website for special deals. Read more

They have a solid selection of Jose Cuervo tequilas including the Family Reserve , and Don Julio 1942! Jeremiah Weed and Smirnoff flavors also great!

The Chicken Mole & Asado De Puerco are my Favs on the menu, both are great! And the house Margarita 's are good too.

Great Cinco’s to be had here!!!

Best nachos on earth. Wednesday it's a steal $5, you won't leave disappointed

Great Mexican food ! Chicken nachos are the best in the business.

Good enchiladas , decent Chile rellanos . Has mariachi music at night.

Everything is great here..

Reminds me of Blockheads in New York City . The kicker is they have a DJ .

Everything!

Typical MarMex (Maryland-Mex). Nothing to write home about. Another place where if you don't know Authentic Mexican you'll love it

Gilberto 's specials are always a hit!

Love this place!!

The Agave Margaritas are not too shabby. :-)

Cozy place

Wednesday nights is $2 nights including draft beer 22oz, Jack daniels , house wine , house sangrias and margaritas

They have really soooo good food to eat there

Good margaritas

Go to La Palapa and skip the enchilada verdes . The steak fajita was the perfect color pink.

Try the chicken mole !

The Marisco Acapulco was to die for!

The salsa looked and tasted like it was from a can. Had the blancas enchiladas , nothing to rave about.

Snickers cheesecake !!!!

Try to eat more than 13 Tacos !

They have a decent tequila selection .

Chicken mole !!!!!

Free dessert thursdays

Cheap ass happy hour

Would NOT recommend. Staff was rude, food is gross, drinks are boring and not even fresh. Being a tequila bar I was disappointed is see them using margarita mix . Definitely a fail.

Disappointed. We waited for 15 minutes. No one came to take our order so we left. =/

Don't get stabbed
