Delicious Restaurant local in Baywood. These employees are very friendly and they get very busy I recommend stopping there when you’re in town prepare my mother is a local in Los Osos and I love to bring her there for dinner. Don’t forget to order the wine Margaritas they are very delicious. And I recommend the pozole especially in a cold evening.

La Palapa – Where Fajitas Get Their Groove
Went to La Palapa in Los Osos for dinner, and let me tell you, they passed my ultimate Mexican-restaurant test: the Fajitas Mixtas. Shrimp, chicken, and beef all sizzling together like a mariachi band, and none of that sad, bland chicken I’ve been disappointed by elsewhere. Nope—this chicken had seasoning, flavor, and personality.
Our server Monica deserves a gold medal in multitasking. For a while, she was the “Lone Ranger” of La Palapa, handling seven tables at once with a smile and zero panic. She kept us in the loop the whole time, and honestly, I was impressed—if I tried that, I’d be crying in the walk-in cooler.
The restaurant sets the tone right at the door: “We’re not fast-food, we’re good food.” (Okay, maybe not in those exact words, but that’s the vibe). And they delivered—food came out in a timely fashion, piping hot, and worth every second.
The fajitas? Huge shrimp, generous portions of meat, and perfectly cooked. In addition, a generous portion of rice and beans was included. When given the choice between soup or salad, we shared the pozole. Pro tip: if you’re cilantro-averse (or genetically wired to think it tastes like soap), skip it. I personally loved it, but my partner gave me the stink eye with every bite. More for me, so… win-win.
All in all, La Palapa nailed it AND they are a family owned business, which I love! Great food, excellent service under pressure, and fajitas that sing. I’d happily go back—especially if Monica’s working, cape and all.

Great little place across from the Baywood Pier. The food was great! I had the chicken burro and it was ginormous—2-3 meals! All white meat and a wonderful green sauce. The woman acting as hostess and server was friendly and attentive (without being too much!) Definitely give it a try!

Wow! This is an amazing gem of a Mexican restaurant in Los Osos. The food was absolutely delicious! I had the chicken fajitas and my husband had the enchiladas. At first, I thought the prices were high, but on the back of the menu, there is a great selection of combination orders that are very inexpensive. My chicken fajitas was easily enough for two. I can honestly say I have never had a more to notch meal. Beautifully decorated restaurant. My dinner came with soup or salad. Try the soup…incredible. You will not be disappointed in any aspect of the service or the food!

We were there the first day they were open for breakfast. The menus didn’t even have prices on them. The server was very friendly and helpful. She described the meals including their prices. The food was delicious. I had a traditional bacon eggs potatoes and toast breakfast, my husband had a breakfast burrito which he enjoyed very much too. The coffee was really good, bold robust coffee with lots of flavor. They make their own delicious salsa fresh, with tomatoes purchased at the farmers market. The front door was a little bit hard to find, you have to walk down the side of the building through a little garden area. It is well worth finding the front door. I would recommend this restaurant. I have not been for dinner but the breakfast was terrific.

The waiter recommended the piña colada and he was not wrong. It was so yummy. We ordered the fajita tostada (without the shell) and a combination plate with enchilada and tamale. Everything was delicious. We will be back.

We stayed at the Baywood Inn and La Palapa provided the breakfast for hotel guests only. The Chili Verde omelette was the best I’ve ever tasted. Ever.

This restaurant is tucked in between units that make up the Bayside Inn.
We stopped in for a light dinner and enjoyed Chicken Posole, LoadedNachos, and a wine margarita. All were very good and reasonably priced.
Bayside Inn offers guests breakfasts at La Palapa with a short menu of breskfast choices. We tried the Chilliquilles, the Chili Verde Omlette, and the Bacon and Eggs with Pancakes. Each dish is prepared to order, and were excellent….definitly not your standard “hotel included” breakfast. Keep in mind, the restsurant appears to only be open for breakfast for Bayside Inn guests.

If I could, I would give 6 or more stars!! I’ve never had Mexican food as flavorful as I had here! I was considering the spicy shrimp but opted for a shrimp burro just in case the spicy was too spicy. Figured all burritos are the same. Wow, was I wrong!!?!! Even the beans in the burro were spiced so uniquely and tasted amazing.
The salsa was spicy and full of flavor. And the ceviche was wonderful – not fishy tasting, just wonderful.
Last but not least, the flan was the best we’ve ever had. And the wine (cab) was excellent and well priced. We’re only in the area for 4 days but will likely revisit as the food, flavors, portion and price are all top notch! Couldn’t be happier!

Best tamale and chili relleno I’ve ever had. Garlic shrimp, guacamole, flautas – OUTSTANDING. Wait staff very cheerful and helpful. Authentic illustrated chairs from Mexico!
