La Palapa

going with a group? order a few pitchers of the house margaritas rather than ordering individual drinks. looking to skip a large entree? go w/ a order of tacos & a side of rice/beans! perfect portion!

The vegan options are incredibly delicious and a must when eating here. I can now cross grilled cactus off my list of foods to try before I die. Friendly service and tasty margaritas too!

A "palapa" is an open-air, thatched-roof structure ; they're useful common spaces on hot, sunny days. Get the jicama with lime and chile, a popular and refreshing treat for just such days.

Get the shrimp quesadilla and guacamole . Pass on jicama picante , cocktails . Hit or miss menu. They give you three free sauces (Serrano, jalapeño , chipotle) and refill them when asked. Good service .

Delicious, authentic Mexican. Pollo tinga tacos are incredible. Great chips , pico , and guacamole . They also bring out three unique salsas that are all wonderful.

We saw this place when passing by and decided to give it a shot. Everything was delicious! I had some nice French rose , and my friend and I shared the chicken fajita and steak enchiladas . Will be back

Something for everyone: $6 tacos , $7 quesadillas , $7 Dos Equis . Or $22 entrees, $13 cocktails for your fancy friends. Service was v attentive for our party of 7. Come for location/vibe. Food 7/10.

Brunch is so good here! Super affordable and huge portions . Get the huevos rancheros with a side of rice , a part of the $16 brunch special which also comes with a drink!

Vegan plate $19-grilled cactus , red beans , guacamole , salsa , sautéed mushrooms and corn , served with warm tortillas . Ask for hot sauce & get 3 from mild to spicy .

Chile en nogada was amazing, food is delicious, very good drinks and michelada , the place is so nice and the staff amazing

Great brunch deal , $16 for a drink, entree, fruit and coffee . Plus it's never too crowded to get a table!

Awesome brunch deal . $15 for unlimited coffee , 1 drink, main course and plate of fresh fruit . Great menu to choose from. Huevos rancheros verde is amazing

Fresh fruit margaritas are amazing, I really loved the passion fruit and mango flavors . The food is also great, the Chile Relleno were made perfectly, not to greasy.

Happy hour Tuesday's are the move! Plus birthdays in the back room are always fun.

Recommend the Huevos Monteleños. Every flavor you could ever want in one dish. Bacon . Eggs . Cheese . Plantains . Crispy tortilla .

They treated us like kings! Props to the fish tacos . 🌮

Taquitos de papa were awesome, but barbacoa is not real Mexican barbacoa , they pour a guajillo sauce on it that is good, but takes the flavor out of the lamb . For appetizers go with jicama.

Great Oaxacan cuisine !! The Brunch and dinner are both fabulous ! And great energy to the place.

la joya cocktail - mezcal , cointreau , chambord , ginger , agave , and lime

Ambiance is what really makes this place. Go for a michelada or a margarita with guac

Get the shrimp taco , says James Traub: "The delicate mixture of spices, and of hot and sweet, and of creamy and crunchy, leaves your palate feeling like it’s had a perfumed bath." Read more

Really great brunch special . Huevos Rancheros are delicious and the blood orange frozen margarita is out if this world.

Mushroom quesadilla is simple but really so good, and make sure you get all of their fresh salsas

The margaritas are large and served like smoothies . Lots of flavors. The guac and fish tacos were great!

Semi-strong margaritas and large portions of delicious Mexican food . Can't go wrong here!

Brunch food is great. The dish with the poached eggs and peas and bacon is my favorite.

A happy hour special everyday (except Friday and Saturday)

If Geronimo is your bartender , you're in for a treat. He makes the best margaritas . Make sure you tip well , and ask for surprises. Enjoy! :D

The waitress here... (didn't get her name) ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!! She can do no wrong.. knows menu inside and out... directed me &BF TO Some serius lobster dish that only comes around during 1/yr

Vegetarian food galore on the apps menu! So tasty, hit it tapas style w a group!

So far the most legitimate Mexican breakfast menu I've found in the city . Try cafe de olla :) if you like sweets.

Hands down the best frozen margarita I have ever had! My favorites are the blood orange and the hibiscus ! They are only $4 during happy hour .

Best frozen margaritas ! Food comes out quick & hot. Great Mexican food and great service. Guacamole isn't special but the 2 green sauces are amaze!

combine margarita flavors for a unique pitcher-blood Orange is really good.

"Authentic and exciting Mexican cuisine . Owner Barbara Sibley is a big community activist for the East Village ." - Ellie Steinman

Guacamole and Caesar salad with steak were great - so much steak !

Best frozen margaritas in the city . Get the shrimp quesadillas and guac , you won't be disappointed. Still hungry? PLANTAINS.

Happy hour only at the bar . Very strict, greedy manager. Excellent frozen margs !

Mexican fare with an emphasis Mexico City-style tacos and quesadillas

Please go on Sunday. Great specials, no wait and you can't beat the huevos choices and margaritas !

jicama picante with chile pequin, lime , and salt

Great for bday parties...can get about 20-30 in the back and it's open bar . A little overpriced, but not crazy and plenty of alcohol

The Passion Fruit Margarita was to-die-for. As was the queso chorizo app and the steak enchiladas . I can't wait to go back to this place!!

Casual Mexican spot. Good tacos , guac , and salsa

brunch specials ftw! tulum scramble is 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Great food and friendly staff , not to mention Great value !

Delicious food! Great service and fun atmosphere

There for happy hour ? Grab a stool, a frozen margarita & the chalupas de chorizo !!!

The happy hour is great (goes until 7), but you can only get it at the bar

Michelada is magical. One of the best I've had. And I have had a milli
