Reviews for La Palapa • Mexican Restaurant, Bar and Catering in Pittsburgh, PA

This place is great! Clean and tastefully decorated atmosphere and very tasty food. I got the Al Pastor specialty tacos and... loved them Read more

I've been here several times over the past 4 years. The decor is amazing and sourced from artists in Mexico. The food is even... better. The side of guacamole is huge and delicious. They used to make it table-side before COVID. Hopefully they'll start doingthat again but it was still amazing! Every waiter/waitress I've had has been kind and great at answering questions. This is thebest place for authentic Mexican food in Pittsburgh ??? Read more

Absolutely the best Mexican food in Pittsburgh, we had enchiladas, tacos, tamales and everything was delicious… our waitress... was karina with the blue hair she was amazing , she was so busy running around helping people but still made sure to keepchecking on us, and made sure we had everything we needed… The atmosphere was great and the decor was so vibrant, niceportions of food as well… Definitely recommend this place, will be back????

Good food. A bit pricey. It was not too busy for our visit, but the traditional Mexican music was a bit loud and that made it... hard to understand the servers and bartender. We were looking for a mezcal bar; and while there was some, there was lessselection than we had hoped for. There was a language barrier that might have added to our experience. Either way, fortraditional Mexican food in the South Flats, it was worth the visit. Read more

This is my favorite restaurant in South side. We always have a great experience plus good taste and quality food! We love Gina... and Oscar. We will continue coming here. The birria tacos are delicious. Read more

Due to work circumstances, I been living here in Pittsburgh. I have tried different mexican restaurants around here, but La... Palapa has been the best one out of all of them. Honestly the best authentic mexican flavor especially in the tamales????????they are the best ones. All of the dishes we have tried they are freaking good. The staff always friendly and kind. Veryvery good experience in La Palapa I really recommend it ???????? Read more

The art was so cool, food was delicious and the music was awesome. However, the service was subpar by a long shot. Charged for... food we never got, very slow to table and wrong orders delivered. When trying to order more drinks, they either never came orwhen they did it was much later. Others we were with stated that this was not normal for them. I will certainly try them againsometime, but not too soon. Perhaps a nice lunch. Read more

We came here once a couple months ago. Overall we felt the prices were decent, the food was very tasty, and the portions were... good. I would say this is in the running for the best when Mexican food I've had in the Pittsburgh area, alongside the Franklininn, although this is a very different style than Franklin Inn. Recommended!
