    It's good to be grated by a host, she is nice and the food Ceviche tested good, it was not fishy nor was the fired fish

    We ordered a dozen oysters, a shrimp and octopus cocktail, and the mazatlan ceviche
    Jessica P.

    The front door is weirdly arranged, as you have to walk through what looks like the patio for the restaurant. It sits at the back of a building, but we found the entrance so that was good. The place was not packed on a Sunday afternoon like we expected which was awesome! We ordered a dozen oysters, a shrimp and octopus cocktail, and the mazatlan ceviche because they were out of the Ceviche dorado (mahi-mahi) but it's okay because our server was kind enough to notify us prior to service. We had to lower the rating down to 3 stars just because the oysters were far from fresh. I brought it up to the server who was a little combative at first (stating oysters were opened each morning although they were stuck to the shell as if they had been opened up the day before). There was also some grayish mucus-like discharge on some of the oysters. She "exchanged" them only to bring us back the same oysters that we had previously returned. We decided not to eat any of the oysters to avoid food poisoning, but we ate the shrimp cocktail and the mazatlan ceviche. The shrimp cocktail was good, although a bit salty for my taste, and the shrimp were the precooked type (hard and chewy) while the octopus was cooked just fine. The ceviche was delicious. Anyhow, we paid the tab even though we didn't eat the oysters, and left. I like the ambience, but I'm unsure if we'll be going back.

    Hidden next to the bowling alley, Palapas food is mediocre. Had the crab enchiladas which was bland and husband had the tacos al carbon which was nothing to rave about. The only blessing about this place is that it has a cool patio and full bar.

    Food is overpriced and it lacks lots of seasoning. Waste of money... I do not recommend this restaurant, they need better cooks.

    This was only our 2nd time here and I am not sure why... I have a feeling #3 wont be far behind…read more The food is fantastic. Period. I am not a big fish person and hubby loves something fried so a healthy fishy meal isn't our first go to, but we went outside our normal tonight. And we left so satisfied. For apps, the mac and cheese bites with crab. This should feel heavy but it doesn't. Moist and full of flavor. We did the crab fingers (special on the black board... pay attention to the specials they are fire). Tons of crab for the price and the chowder type sauce was so good. I just wish I had more bread to soak it up. Dinner was the tuna with mango sauce. I got mine rare and it was perfectly cooked. The filet was well seasoned and the sauce complimented it well. Large portion of tuna. He got the special (do not sleep on the black board) flounder stuffed with crab and shrimp. Absolutely amazing. I have never ever ordered flounder before but I guarantee ill order it if we return and its a special. Service was fast snd everyone was attentive. Cant wait until we go back.

    Seven of us went out for dinner and we chose this restaurant as nobody had been here prior…read more We were greeted quickly and our waitress was amazing! We all received samples of the soup and the poblano soup was a table favorite! Our food was delicious as well as our waitress. We loved the evening Happy Hour on a Saturday evening. Only complaint was it was entirely too humid in the restaurant, so much so that we were miserable in that sense. Everyone constantly had to wipe the water glasses off before taking a drink. So we ate quickly so we could leave and didn't get to socialize a lot.

The food was great as usual and when you are spending over $100 for food at my favorite establishment, I expect better!

You're entertained the moment you walk in as they have an upbeat playlist for guests to sing/dance along to & also have some TV's throughout for those who want to stay in the know. Food was also really well prepared & served HOT. No complaints at all. As of now they also provide guests with a 10% off coupon if you share your experience with them on Facebook, IG, Google or Yelp so don't be afraid to take advantage. I'll definitely be back!

For that price, I felt like the variety and quality was good. There is so much variety in fact that you will not have room in your stomach to be able to try all the items. I would recommend walking around the entire buffet if it's your first time and then strategically picking items you like the best first. I started off with the nigiri sushi first. The chef was making them fresh at the bar and kept the buffet plates full. The flavor/quality was good and I enjoyed that they did not add wasabi. The yakatori was one of my favs. I tried both the beef and pork belly and they were both delicious. You could really taste the smoke from the charcoal. This item did require a little waiting. They had a wide variety of items for dessert, including fruit and cakes, a chocolate fountain, and even sherbet. I didn't get a chance to try the stations where you get to make your own soup or stirfry but they look good. Items I would avoid: Crawfish was dried out. Crab dishes aren't worth the effort. Pizza of course. Cons: You will eat way too much.
