Ample-plated portions of authentic south-of-the-border cuisine at Palapa. Craving a breakfast (weekends only) burrito stuffed with scrambled eggs? Or two midday beef flautas? Then Palapa has your breakfast and lunch covered. The most popular evening burrito is served wet with your choice of more than 10 meat and vegetarian entrées, including a zesty chile verde. Dine between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. and take your pick from an array of lunch specials, served with two sides and guacamole. A lunchtime highlight is grilled sole tacos alongside flavorful “green rice” with cilantro and poblano chiles. During dinner, try the overflowing seafood platter if you’ve got a group big enough to wolf down the hot prawns, fish, octopus, and other nicely spiced seafood delicacies. Stop by for Happy Hour during the week from 3-6 p.m. (5PM on Fridays).
The tostada ceviche appetizer is such a huge portion that it's a sharable plate for 2-3. I was expecting it to be marinated in lime to give it a more lemony taste but none the less it is really good and tastes really fresh.
Palapa absolutely has the best Happy Hour around SB! Some customers have been coming weekly for 10 years! Chips and salsa is ALWAYS complimentary. For the view of the mountains and the friendly staff, you just can’t beat the deals. We start at 3:00 PM, Monday – Friday. Drink specials and food choices for the money are a great way to introduce yourself to the Palapa way of business. It’s a family atmosphere. Our staff has been with us since we opened.
