• Nothing.

“This place is a dump. I went here with 5 of my friends and we all had a terrible time. The drinks are weak. The bar and patio outside is so filthy we were afraid to sit down or lean up against anything. It looks like a junk yard. The Karaoke host is loud and obnoxious and the sound system was not good. I watched about 10 different people sing and there were feedback and sound problems with every song. The owner is a big fat slob who is obviously hated by all the patrons. When he arrived I heard half of the bar says Big Joe is here now, let's all leave and go somewhere else". To top it off the bartender behind the bar got so drunk by 9:30 PM she could barely stand up and one of the customers (who obviously had no bartending experience and had never worked there before) ended up working the bar and charging a different price for everything, while the drunk bartender proceeded to dance the rest of the night on the dance floor. Our glasses were dirty when we got our drinks and one of the shot glasses had spoiled milk or old Baileys Irish Cream all over the rim. Mind you we were drinking shots of Patron. When I brought it to their attention they poured it from the dirty glass into a clean glass which left pieces of spoiled milk floating in my $8.00 shot of Patron. They also were out of limes and lemons. This is the worst bar I have ever been in my life and I go out every night. I will not be returning here. Ever."”

• It uses to be a nice place to go -- not any more!
• I will never go back to this restaurant!

“I had been in this restaurant many times in the past and loved going there. There are apparently new owners now. None of the friendly staff are there any more. The wall between the restaurant and bar has been removed and the bar is visible from the restaurant -- this is not acceptable to those of us with children. The bathrooms were filthy and smelled bad! The quality of the food is just not the same. Very unfriendly atmosphere now!”

La Palapa Mexican Restaurant

• Margaritas, food, atmosphere. Not fancy, just authentic!
• Nada.

“If you are looking for authentic Mexican food in a Mexican style homey atmosphere this is the place for you! Start off with a margarita on the rocks, no need to upgrade to a Cadillac here. They pour with a very heavy hand so if you're ready to get really happy just say so. If you are wimpy, be sure to have them tone it down a bit. Great beef sops, my favorite dish when I can find it! Dinner with chips and awesome salsa, rice, beans and 2 sopes covered in guac, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes etc, $7.50. Dinner for 4 adults with a round of drinks =$50.00 Great value. Hidden in a strip mall, would never know this jewel was here except for all of the people waiting outside on a Friday night!”
