Las Palapas - San Antonio

Super super slow service. During lunch when ppl have limited time. Maybe short staffed therefore I will still go back.

My husband and I have visited many times for breakfast before covid and have enjoyed their food and service. With the covid situation, we've frequently gone through the drive-thru to pick up food. I really love their barbacoa taco. For the most part, it's very moist but there have been a couple of occasions where it's a little on the dry side. My husband has his staple orders: bean taco, chalupa, and puffy taco with a side of pico de gallo and green sauce. There's a couple of times where the drive-thru line is long and the wait staff comes out to take your order. Definitely helps. We definitely want to continue to support this business.

We were in the mood for Mexican food for lunch while out and about and this was close. Hadn't been here in a while. They have never disappointed. The only issue I take is their salsa, it's pretty mild, almost bland. As a native to San Antonio, salsa and chips is a staple, don't mess with my chips and salsa and make it chunky please. Everything else was good as usual. One thing to know if you plan to come, the highway (US 281) is under construction and they have reduced the amount of parking that had been available. It can be a challenge to find a spot, we actually parked in the neighboring lot.

This review is based on my experience today 3-31-2020 I'm doing my best to support local restaurants during the current crisis, including Las Palapas, which is by far one of my favorite Mexican restaurants. I've been a regular customer at the 281 North and loop 1604 location for 10 years, so I ordered the 12 breakfast taco deal this morning. However I'm very disappointed of 2 things: 1) the lady handing out the orders at curbside this morning was NOT wearing either gloves or a face mask, and she got really close to my window, yikes. I did call the restaurant to express my concern and spoke with a manager, he told me they're not required by law to wear a mask, well, then I'm not going to risk my health or my family's health if Las Palapas is not taking this pandemic seriously and I won't order take out until we go back to normal times. 2) the breakfast tacos this time were very skimpy compared to regular portions, only half full. Is it because it's a 12-taco deal at a discounted price? If that's the reason, than not worth my money, my time and the risk of catching the virus. But if you decided to start making your tacos with less filling, then please start making your tortillas smaller as well. I don't want a taco half-filled with air.

I wish they had a sports bar room. The Macho Botana Platter is a epic meal for any sports game. A mixture of appetizer finger foods bring joy to your soul. I love the faultas with the bowl of cheese dip. I also requested to add picadillo to it and it lifts it up even more. If you are hungry. Give it a whirl. Suggestions- Fajitas are pretty good. Always a good bet. Moose Out
