  For some reason, I am VERY picky when it comes to Mexican food.  I find myself leaving hungry and wishing I ordered something different.  La Palapa was okay.  I had the chicken tacos which were fine, my husband had the steak tacos which he RAVES about.  
  
  We ordered our food to-go, and I was disturbed by the fact that the young girl (teenager) packing our food up had to do so one-handed because she was eating an ice cream cone!  Hello, health department!

  Got an al pastor burrito dinner, which was solid, had quite of meat and cheese ingredients.  The guy there recommended the steak torta when I asked him what he liked, and it wasn't bad either, steak had a good slight seasoned taste to it.  The horchata was average, not bad or anything, I've had better and had worse.  The hot sauce reminded me of a tex-mex style as the intensity was mild and had a chili spice taste to it.  
  Service wasn't bad, but the guy seemed skiddish kept verifying the order to me, when all I ordered were 2 dishes and a drink.  Not a bad place, but overall, I've had better in Aurora.

  Living in Aurora, I have a large selection of Mexican cuisine. Out of all the taco joints in the area, I have to say La Palapa is my favorite!!!AMAZING!!   La Torta rocks to! I heard its the same owner. I would highly recommend the steak! I usually drown my mexican food in sour cream or salsa. The steak has such a great taste no need to add any extra flavoring
  High quality of meat and Im picky. Food is made fresh everytime! The staff is very friendly!

  When you are good at something,don't change a thing! Now they're serving hot dogs & burgers & the menu of mexican items is serverly downsized. My tacos today were ok, but my gordita was awesome! Had a unsual quesadilla made of the thick masa that makes up the gorditas. It was not your usual tortilla-still kind worked though.

  My husband went over to La Palapa recently to resolve a guacamole craving we were all having. My neighbor has raved about this restaurant for some time, so we thought we'd try them out. In addition to getting guac, he also came home w/ some steak tacos. First, the tacos are excellent. The meat was perfectly done, and the red and green salsa you can add on top tasted great. My husband said he got two tacos for something around $2.50 which is not bad.
  
  However, the guac was a bit of a ripoff and is why I'm marking them down to 3 stars. We've gotten an entire container full of guac at a competing Hispanic restaurant for a fairly reasonable price. La Palapa puts one scoop of guac into a square Styrofoam container and charges the same price. You get maybe 4 chips worth of guac before it's gone. I could not believe the container when I opened it and saw there was merely a spoonful inside for the price we pay elsewhere for an entire container full. Plus, we had to pay extra for the bag of chips and only needed a few of the chips that they supplied in the bag considering how little guac they gave. It was really disappointing since guacamole was the purpose of the visit and I had to fend my husband off, so I could get the most (lol). I'm hoping it was just an over-site there. We'll probably try it one more time - if not for the guac, then surely for the tacos. However, buyer beware when it comes to guacamole. Make sure you're actually getting a full container - otherwise, don't plan on sharing it.
