La Palapa (closed)

Went there with a large party, they were very accomodating and chummy. Their off-season prix fix menu had a melange of items to choose from at a tasty price. The raw oysters topped with a shrimp ceviche and avocado were deserving more than eating just a dozen. Some of the other items we had lacked in seasoning/flavor, but all in all were satisfying.

The tortilla soup it's not quite same to the authentic soup, it was more a vegetable soup with chips! Try to find to closest recipe possible to the original one as well as to the shrimp ceviche

We stopped by late one night and shared an appetizer and entree. We also had the Cancun Shrimp which were very tasty but I could do without the dipping sauce. Our plate held a few more shrimp than the previous reviewers so I didn't see a problem with the value. The entree was the Chili Rellano, Cheesy and Good. With one Margaritta we got out with under a $50 tap. The atmosphere was casual and comfortable. One little thing, it would be great if they had veggie friendly beans.

The ambiance and pricing do not match the quality and value of the food. Cancun shrimp appetizer tasty but 7 small shrimp for $13? The menu & pricing does not suggest 'Mexican joint' but with the casual atmosphere, you'd expect lower prices. Hopefully there will be good lunch specials!
