Unfortunately, I kept eating, hoping I was mistkaen. I'm convinced the filling was VELVEETA -- and nothing BUT Velveeta. I was bloated and uncomfortable for a week. Then I experienced VIOLENT, explosive diarrhea today 8/27/26. Somebody there simply does not know how to cook. Or knows they can pass this stuff off on people who don't know any better. How I wish I had not taken even a second bite of that chile! I love Mexican food, have traveled all over Latin America, have eaten Mexican food hundreds if not thousands of times during my long life, and this was easily the worst experience I've EVER had at a restaurant of ANY kind.

Hard to believe this location used to be a Waffle House…read more The meal was incredibly flavorful and satisfying. While the burrito leaned a little heavy on the salt, the portions were generous and the ingredients tasted fresh. The sides were a highlight--the rice maintained a great texture without being overcooked, and the beans were seasoned perfectly. At just $11.99, the quality-to-price ratio for this dinner is hard to beat. The service was great. If in doubt just ask, they are very welcoming. Ambiance, come as you are. Casual.

La Palapa is a small restaurant that is kicking out some pretty amazing Mexican food. The building…read morealmost looks like it was a repurchased Waffle House, but it has a pleasant enough vibe. My server was an incredibly friendly young lady. I opted for three tacos, the chorizo taco (Mexican sausage), the chivo taco (which is goat), and the asada taco (which is steak). They brought me chips and salsa. Both the green and red salsa were very good, though I thought the green was a bit better. My tacos came out pretty quick and I have to say that they were huge and excellent. The price was pretty impressive, as well. The chorizo and chivo tacos were $2.99 each and the asada taco was $3.25. La Palapa is definitely a place that I would recommend if you are in this part of Memphis, Tennessee and craving Mexican food. I will give La Palapa five stars overall for a wonderful lunch. To quote Arnold Schwarzenegger in the Terminator movie series, "I'll be back" to La Palapa.

Although I have lived in Collierville. This small Mexican restaurant was one place I had somehow…read moreoverlooked. Today a friend and I had lunch after someone had told me this was her favorite place. Well,WoW! It was unbelievably the best I have had in years. This establishment has won my stamp of approval. There was a board with daily specials at the door. We were greeted quick enough I couldn't finish reading it all. I ordered from the board. Enchilada Fresta. It had a tomato on the plate and I swear I think the tomatoes from Ripley. Very meaty. The sauce over the enchiladas was extra smooth and favorably great. It came with a side of rice that was perfect and a salad as a side. The food comes with a salad. I don't like food that is hot. I can't wait to go there with more friends. A true jewel for Collierville. Don't touch the plates because they are super hot.

Best Flautas Ever! I…read morereally enjoy coming here. It's one of our favorite Mexican places now. Most of the things I've gotten here have been excellent. The flautas are just the best and it's my mom's favorite thing, too. Hubby has found his new fav burrito here so we come here often. I'm excited to try more stuff. The mixed drinks are pretty good as well. I don't know why but I cannot stand the corn tortillas here. They have a very off-putting smell to me. We tried the Margaritas Chicken Dip and I felt like there was way too much chicken and not enough queso. I think we will try the version without chicken next time and see if we like it better. I do love that this place has such an extensive menu because I'm always finding something different I want to try. We have both fallen in LOVE with the Gringo Quesadillas here. Joel prefers the chicken option but I am obsessed with the al pastor version. The steak version is meh (we got it by mistake once). The salsa is what really makes it. They bring a salsa for you to dip it in and put a little in the quesadilla itself. It's AMAZING. It's pretty much all we have been getting lately. The Pollo Borracho is good but it's got such a strong flavor that it's best eaten with tortillas to mellow it out a bit. The taco salad was pretty good. I really liked the flavor of the shell. It doesn't reheat that great but it's still decent. The baja taco had no flavor and fell apart to easily to eat. The quesetaco de puerco had too much fat on it. The quesetaco del pollo also had no flavor. The Chimichanga Casera tastes like nothing but tortilla and cheese. You can't even taste the meat. Same with the Fajita Quesadailla. I like the chicken option but the one with all the meats just mainly tastes like cheese. I disliked the Camarones Don Jose because they left the tails on the shrimp and the shrimp itself wasn't flavored, the bacon and cheese were just it. It was meh for me. The Pollo Bravo doesn't have much flavor other than cheese. I like onions and mushrooms but it felt like it needed more veggies. The Anaconda is fun and I would love to eat it with a group. Hubby and I liked it but it had too much rice inside to the point where it was dry. It benefitted from some queso. The shrimp fajitas come with the shells on them??? My sister got it and mentioned you can ask them to deshell it I think. Or she mentioned that she forgot to order something different. IDK but I would never want to eat that and have to fight for me food so I'll never get that.
