La Palapa - Pittsburgh

I used Open Table to request a Lunch reservation for work crew of 10 with space for boxes holding our secret Santa gifts. La Palapa provided a private room upstairs, and we were comfortable to speak and joke freely. I ordered the refreshing and delicious signature mojito and the tilapia, which was cooked perfectly (not dry) served with a sauce that did not overwhelm the light fish. We all thought the drinks, food, and service were great. Returning with family, friends or for work happy hour is in our future.

If you're looking for authentic mexican, you cant go wrong here. Tableside guac was fantastic. Wife and I think maybe the best we've ever had. Barbacoa was like butter. Prices more than reasonable. Will return for sure.

Delicious food and great atmosphere. The menu includes authentic dishes that are not always found in the typical Mexican Restaurant.

Excellent experience! The food is fantastic, and the service is outstanding—especially Gina, who is wonderful. The mezcal drinks are truly exceptional!

This restaurant was absolutely wonderful, and I was thrilled to be able to bring my kids along. We certainly received a generous amount of food, and I especially appreciated that the kids' meal options were very reasonably priced. Although my children didn't eat much of the food, it was great not to pay a lot for their meals. They really enjoyed the restaurant experience. As someone who is gluten-free, I found that they accommodated my dietary needs very well. My daughter, who is dairy-free, was able to have her taco with tomatoes instead of cheese, which was a nice touch. The only disappointing part was that I didn't order the tamales; my husband did, and he didn't share enough of his meal with me! On a positive note, my margarita was delightful—not too sweet, just as I had requested.
