La Palapa Mexican Grill - Port Orchard

Service and chips/salsa were great, but our main entrees could be way better. I’m not sure if it’s because we went when they first opened and the kitchen was just starting, but sad that they didn’t live up the reviews :

Never been here before, but will definitely be back. When I walked in and saw mostly Hispanic cliental, I knew it was gonna be good. It was really good, and large portions also. We even got some of their delicious salsa to go.

Totally unexpected visit to this place where the food and drinks were absolutely delicious, accompanied with good service and great atmosphere! Vegetarian options: You can request request removal of ingredients. Kid-friendliness: E had an 8 year old with us. There's a kid friendly menu he enjoyed himself.

The burrito fajita was huge and so much in it. Had a special order without beans. Had to take half home for another meal. This burrito is similar to one in the 70's that no other Mexican restaurant has matched, till now.

The food was bland. Taquitos…no. Pollo was very dry and just waved over an empty spice cabinet. The carnitas were dry and hard, like they had been sitting in a serving pan all day. No flavor. Poor excuse for guac. At least the rice was good. Beans… meh. I will continue to look elsewhere for good Mexican. BTW was born and raised in Texas. I have a LOT of experience with Mexican and Tex mex. I can get better than this in my own kitchen.
