Las Palapas Keller

The food was good. We arrived just when they were opening so I think they weren't quite ready to serve us. So while the food was good, it was missing some elements that had been mentioned in the menu descriptions. Our waitress was new and she tried to get us what we ordered. But unfortunately, she did not get it right. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed. I do think this restaurant is probably a good one. It was just off to a rocky start that day. So we are going back again soon in hopes of a better experience.

We had been to a number of other Mexican restaurants in the Keller and Southlake area and had not found a favorite until we came to Las Palapas. The salsa and chips were fresh and delicious, I had a frozen Margarita that was generous and only $6 ...I understand they have a happy hour and the Rita is only $3. On our second visit they had a new expanded menu and I tried the Fish and Shrimp Street Tacos..man they were so good! This place is a great value and I highly recommend.

I have never been here but the reviews looked good for the tortilla soup. I also ordered a crispy beef taco. It tasted “funny” and when I opened it up it looked raw. I called and the worker who answered the phone said “oh, I will go pull it all off the line. But the meat turns pink after being under the warmer, I don’t know why.” I said that doesn’t sound right... She said thanks for letting me know. Didn’t offer a refund or replacement… But the tortilla soup was a little salty but actually really good broth based soup and the chicken was cooked (thankfully).

Looks casual on the inside but the food is really good. We tried several tacos including puffy with chicken, carne asada, carne guisada, and sope with fajita chicken. Prices were really good for tacos ala carte and portions were plenty for 2 adults to share. There are 3 different salsas for chips that are also very flavorful. They have a full bar too. The margaritas were not cheap at $12/$13 but that included top shelf tequila and they were well made(not full of mixers). We will definitely be back.

Ordered enchiladas with ranchera sauce. Was asked to confirm the sauce. I repeated it and was given confirmation, but then I was given a different sauce. The fresh guacamole IS DEF NOT FRESH, so save your . The queso was good chips were good too. Requested salsa and received NONE which was disappointing. Tortillas were very good. Will try again but will check the order next time before leaving.
