Throughly enjoyed my visit to La Palapa! The weather was beautiful and the patio was packed! So much so that there was an almost hour wait. We opted to sit inside instead with several open tables, still included a 10-15ish minute wait. Everything was fresh and hot! I had the fajitas with chicken, steak, and shrimp! Seasoned to perfection. My son had a cheeseburger and refried beans which were so yummy! The chicken taquitos were also delicious!! Would definitely return. Parking is a bit tough too.

Went to lunch with an old friend and both ordered the taco's for lunch. I HIGHLY recommend the birria tacos. Great flavor, large portions, and genuinely good bang for your buck.

LPG&C is located right on Main Street in historic Ellicott City. Parking can be a challenge but I lucked out and found a spot in a nearby public parking lot. Upon entry, I was greeted and seated immediately. It was nearing the end of happy hour but the server made it a point to take my order before time elapsed. Drinks came out pretty quickly, followed by the chicken quesadilla, which I ordered. Both were pretty good and hit the spot. Definitely add this spot to your list if you're in the area.

A must go to if you like Mexican food . The service was kinda slow on bringing out the check but food and drinks came out pretty good. Today was a party .... For cinco de mayo .... They had an outdoor tent set up with a dj and bar and dance floor ... it was a lot going on . My food was tasty. I never had an enchilada but tried the crab and shrimp ... it was too wet for me but I pushed through ... the salsa flavors were there ... they must use claw meat I didn't taste crab. The spicy cucumber margaritas was delicious but I left sober ... lol get shots .... Nothing bad to say.

I stopped by La Palapa on a warm spring day and had a nice meal! Their outdoor patio is large and is a great place to be if the weather's nice. The chips and salsa were good, but I thought it was a little cheap that they charged for refills. I ordered a fajita salad and my friend ordered fajitas. They were basic dishes but pretty solid, and the service was good. My only issue is that I thought the food was a little overpriced. My salad was almost $20, and was basically just a tortilla shell bowl with some lettuce and a half full of chicken strips. Other than the price I had a nice time!
