La Palapa is squarely average with regard to Mexican food. I used to live near Ellicott City, and on occasion would go to La Palapa to get sustenance or attend happy hour, and every time I ate there...

Delicious truly Mexican specialties, fast service.La Palapa has a nice, laid back atmosphere, though it seems cavernously large when it is not busy. The service is impressively quick, and very helpful...

On this trip, we had lunch on the outdoor patio. While the service is always good and the food tasty (my friends and I had a chicken chimichanga, a taco salad, and the tacos al pastor) the drinks...

We've been a few times now, and it's been good each time. It's really 3-star food, but the outdoor seating on a nice summer evening really push it into 4-star territory. You know what they say -...

LP has good margaritas. Stick with the typical Tex-Mexican food, like the burritos and soft tacos. We've tried specialties like the fish and the chicken mole, but just not as good as the regular...

I will say the guacamole was fresh and generous.Besides that all the entrees were simply covered in a pound of cheese. Yes, I love cheese, but you need more than that at a "Mexican" joint. I need...

Came here last weekend for lunch with my mom, I have absolutly experienced better. The quacamole was bland and I kept having to add more salt. I got green chile and onion quesadillas which were ok....

So this place is kind of random. It's hidden in Historic Ellicott City so that was what drew me to the place initially. The cantina part has a mixed happy hour crowd that was jammin to Bobby Brown....

A friend had recommended La Palapa, and I was a little disappointed. We started with the black bean soup. It was eatable, but very very salty. Next, we shared a veggie dinner - which consisted of a...

The bar side and patio of La Palapa turns into a nightclub at night, at least W-Sa. I enjoy it since it's on the historic main street of old Ellicott City, which lends a huge amount of character and...

So I wanted to go to Mi Casa, but a friend of mine told me no way--she's from Texas, and apparently La Palapa tastes like authentic Mexican to her, and Mi Casa doesn't. For what it's worth. I'm a...

Friends who live in Ellicott City don't think much of this place, but I've eaten here on two occasions recently and was really impressed. We have such a hard time finding decent Mexican food,...

La Palapa's sister restaurant in Clarksville, El Azteca, is my preferred choice because LaP can get very crowded with families in the dining area, with fun-loving but loud revelers in the bar. That...

La Palapa is an interesting place in Old Ellicott City. It is a place where you could wear a tshirt and shorts or be dressed in a suit and still feel comfortable. It's a place to party and pass...

The best thing about this joint is the venue. Service is typically Columbia and the food is mediocre at best. Want some drinks?Great. Authentic Mexican food? Not. We had the Chips and Queso, which turned out...

The food was above average. We had their burrito which was good but not my favorite. The margaritas were absolutely delicious. The price was just about right too. For the quality of food and atmosphere I would...

La Palapa has a large bar area and an equally roomy restaurant, with patio dining available in good weather. Their not-quite-authentic Mexican menu is extensive and everything is mouth wateringly good. There...

La palapa is a nice Mexican place, quite similar to El Azteca or Senor Toucan. However, on the evenings when the chef prepares his famous Borrego, then La Palapa rises to its true potential. Borrego is lamb...
