Taqueria La Palapa is a no-frills food truck in Marathon that does exactly what it's supposed to…read moredo--and does it well. Located in a container yard parking lot across from Home Depot, it's been operating here for several years and clearly has a steady following. The setup is simple but functional, with a shaded palapa area for seating. The menu sticks to the basics: tacos, quesadillas, tortas, and burritos. No gimmicks, no overcomplication--just straightforward Mexican street food. We tried a mix of tacos, and everything was well executed. Fresh tortillas, properly seasoned meats, good balance of toppings. Service was quick and efficient. Pricing is fair, especially for the Keys, and the overall experience is exactly what you want from a place like this--fast, simple, and satisfying. If you're in Marathon and looking for casual Mexican without the sit-down commitment, this is a solid option.

A true smash is pressed on the grill cold so that it sears a crust on the patty. You can watch them do this with their custom beef blends. All the boxes get checked here! Toasted bun, check.

Friendly atmosphere and Willie will gladly explain anything to you. Custom made sauces, hot fries. Triple up if you really want that juice running down your forearm effect!

The service was quite slow when we got there, it took a bit to get seated even though we were the only ones waiting with numerous open tables. Once we got our table we had to ask multiple times for a kids menu and high chair, but our waitress eventually showed up and got both for us. The high chair was broken but we made it work for our little one. Our server was efficient and friendly, even though it took a bit for her to get to us. The food was good, not the best meal, but definitely good tiki bar food. I got the fish tacos which were good, and fries, they were the best part. We wanted to get dessert but there were so many flies it made us want to leave. To no fault of their own, it's unfortunate, and to be expected at an outdoor spot, but it was an overwhelming amount and we just didn't want to deal with it any longer. I think its a good spot to grab a drink on the water at the bar! Definitely brings a good vibe.

During our stay at the connected hotel we ate dinner here once and had multiple to-go drinks and…read moresnacks. Service for dinner the first night was EXCEEDINGLY slow. After we were seated by the hostess, we sat at our table for 20 minutes without being acknowledged. I know the time because I had a text from the time our table was ready and we were seated. I had to go back to the hostess and ask if we had a server because no one had spoken to us despite serving several tables next to us. We had ordered drinks from the bar during our 45 minute wait for a table and the server never once asked if we wanted any other drinks or water. My husband ended up going back to the bar twice more to order more drinks for us over the course of the meal. The food itself was mediocre, and for the price I would expect more scallops in the scallop dish. My daughter said her hamburger was inedible as it was an unseasoned, pre-made patty. We all agreed after tasting it. We left it uneaten, but the server never even ask how our food was after taking our order. We had to flag her down to finally get our check. It ended up being over a 3 hour meal with wait time. Ordering drinks from the bar for poolside or the beach was another torturous wait every single time. It would take no less than 20 minutes each time. On our second to last day, from where I was on the beach, I hear the bartender screaming "GET OFF THE ROCKS! THOSE NO TRESSPASSING SIGNS MEAN SOMETHING!!" I realize he's screaming at my 12 year old daughter who had no idea she couldn't climb on the jetty. She's been able to do so at every other place we went, and there are CLEARLY no "no trespassing" signs that face the beach. There are very old ones that face the interior of the restaurant, but none facing the beach where my daughter came from. She was extremely embarrassed, and my husband (who was once again waiting for our drinks at the bar) said that the bartender scared everyone in the restaurant when he screamed at her. After this I went to help him bring our drinks back to our seats, and as we walked away the bartender said "Where do you think you're going?" To which my husband responded, "What do you mean? To the beach with our drinks." And the bartender said "Well you have to pay that you know." So my husband turns back around to put down a card and lets him know that he thought he had already put down a card when he ordered nearly a half hour before. He obviously wasn't trying to "steal" drinks, and we were once again embarrassed by this extremely rude bartender, who then informed us when we was going off shift and that we had to close our check with him before that time. After that we spent no more money at this establishment. I do NOT recommend this restaurant for meals or drinks, and it frankly casts a negative pall over our entire stay despite the fact that the hotel was nice.
