La Palapa - Chicago

I cannot give this place enough stars. Every time I go I am treated like family. I have only ever ordered one thing but i will literally drive all the way from Canada just to get it. The rest of the menu looks amazing too and I’m sure it is but the rompecolchon is just unbelievable. Amazing service, amazing vibe, amazing food. Whenever I have friends going to Chicago I immediately start yapping about how they HAVE to eat here until they tell me to shut up. Highly recommend!!! Yum yum YUM!!!

Mexican seafood restaurant in McKinley Park with tropical beach theme. Service was not very good and slow. The girls seating us seem to be not happy with being bothered. You get complimentary chips, salsa and ceviche. The ceviche was delicious. And would have ordered more but the mai dishes were generous. We ordered Rompecolchn and went with mild. It was fantastic with so much seafood. Every bite had either shrimp, octopus or imitation crab. I will definitely ordered it Spicer next time. Pulpo Al Gusto was ok but I wish it has more more flavor. Very good overall.

This place is a MUST aim your bucket list!been coming here since it was originally a very small place,everything it’s absolutely great from food-atmosphere.

Been here quite a few times and every time we have enjoyed everything we ordered. The atmosphere is welcoming and friendly it's always been clean and smells great. During the weekend it's quite lovely having live shows. Service is incredible never have I ever been here and felt forgotten or like I'm just there.

This my 2nd time at this restaurant & it was better than the 1st one! Our waitress was great! I wanted a drink with red bull, the menu didn't have 1 but she custom made my drink. The food was delicious. The bathroom is clean but I wish they had a handle to open the door with the feet instead of my hands. Enjoy the show by a very talented 14 year old singing. My sister & my self enjoyed this restaurant very much.

La Palapa serves good food and still does. However, today when we ordered for pickup, we noticed one we got home that they gave us a small bag of tostadas instead of the bigger, rounded ones. Also, they gave us one green sauce instead of what they used to give which consisted of a green one, habanero one, and Valentina. I hope the restaurant sees this and I understand that their maybe some decision but the customer comes first. At the very least, let the customer know what the food will come with and let them decide if they still want to buy it or not.

5 starts is not enough to give this establishment. My friends and I had such a great time along with walking out with no voice as karaoke was AWESOME! The owners were so welcoming and couldn’t have thanked them enough for the hospitality and absolute fantastic time my friends and I had. Thank you Veronica for the invite…the night is memorable and the service was excellent

I visited La Palapa this past summer and had a very memorable and delicious dining experience alongside my father and sister. Upon arriving with my father, we were promptly seated and attended to while we waited for my sister. We were served salsa and chips along with a very tasty ceviche. Our server was very pleasant and continued checking on us while we waited for my sister to arrive. Once she did, we were quickly attended to once again and our orders were taken, which did not take long to arrive. Our father requested a specific song to be played and our server made that happen. All our dishes were magnificent. We all had such a wonderful time and will certainly be back! Highly recommend!
