Las Palapas: Find a Location
Reviews
I had finished my grocery shopping at the HEB and for quite a few weeks I have been wanting to try Las Palapas so that I could understand why there were so many locations. Well, I had only non-perishable goods in my trunk, so I elected to stop. I found the location to be quite clean upon my entrance and waited for well over a minute to get seated only to be told to seat myself. So, the sign is there why then? The person who came out from the kitchen door did not impress me much on the hospitality scale, so I rate that a zero on the scale of how to acknowledge a customer. I was an inconvenience.
Moving along to the dining experience, the table was clean, well-organized, and I was introduced to a nice young lady named Genesis, who was my server. From the start she was professional and I feel someone made a very good hire here and from service to completion of the sale, she was spot on. Even watched her diligently clean tables when no one was looking. Well done, Genesis.
This is where the positive part of the review ends. In general, I like to have a good mix in my reviews, but I feel in this case, the burden is too much to bear. I left the restaurant prior to 10 in the morning to give a remotely accurate time frame. I dropped off my groceries from HEB and returned home to unload and walked the dog. After that, I went back out and by the time I was checking out at Walmart my body was starting to flush with heat. I made it back home and by 11:30 A.M. I felt that it was time to lay down and that lasted for less than an hour as I knew something was not right. Long story short…the games began and I had constant vomiting for over two hours and it was more than six times. I did not leave my house sick but came home that way and the dog didn’t move for over four hours until I made him (he is a Pit Bull so if you know the breed, they are usually wanting to go anywhere you do). I got sick and my dog got sick so yeah…
I am not quite sure which ingredient was the culprit, but the potatoes were not fully cooked and should have been fork tender even if on the flat top. The eggs were loosely cooked to my request of over medium, but I don’t complain about yolk. The refried beans had a great taste, but that does not mean that they were not stored in a hot box properly and dated. The final possibility could be the salsa, as I requested Chips and Salsa at the start of the order.
Final Thoughts:
I am giving an extra star to this location simply because of my server as this was not her fault, but she is the best part of the whole dining experience. While I love the format of the restaurant, I find myself extremely disappointed as the dog and I got sick. I included some photos and the food tasted great, but no way to detect cross contamination, which I think is the most likely culprit here. It seems to be the most logical explanation if normal kitchen procedures for dating and storage are followed.
*The eggs did not come with pepper. I slipped up and added out of habit.
When she brought our food, she didn’t warn us that the plates were hot, and I ended up burning my finger. I let her know, and she just walked away without acknowledging it. When my food arrived, there was a hair in it. When I pointed it out, she only asked “where?” and then took the plate away with no apology or concern.
At that point, I chose not to eat. I felt genuinely uncomfortable and nervous that something might happen to my food based on how she treated me throughout the visit. This was an extremely unsettling and disappointing experience. I love Las Palapas but she made me not want to come back to this location.
For me, the staff has always been very attentive from the moment we walked in. Super friendly.
I love their guisado plate, which is hard to find at other Mexican restaurants.
It really tasty. The meat is super tender. The mole or sauce is delicious. The beans are perfect as it the rice.
The homemade flour tortillas are so good. Super delicious.
I have been here a few times. And will continue.
So I went through drive got a order wasnt mine then went in talked to manger she gave me the oh this almost never happens speech then went and tried to eat my tacos but it was saturated with guac not a even portion of guacamole cheese or beans mostly guacamole so now throwing it away cuz too much guacamole the tortilla was saturated so much not even holding the taco up. Very disappointed this place used to be so much better .
