" I had high hopes for Las Palapas based on the reviews but came away somewhat disappointed. The pupusas were just okay, lacking the authentic flavor I was expecting. Service was not the best; my server forgot a few items from my order, which led to a frustrating experience. I appreciated the cleanliness of the place, but the food needs improvement for me to come back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Las Palapas is such a hidden gem! The food is always fresh, and I love the wide variety of options available on the menu. Every time I visit, I make it a point to order their seafood soup, which is loaded with flavor and fresh ingredients. The atmosphere is quite charming, although sometimes a bit crowded during lunch hours. The staff members are generally polite and helpful, though I've encountered a few instances where service was slower than expected. Nevertheless, I keep coming back for the delicious food and generous portions. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is simply amazing! If you’re looking for authentic Salvadoran flavors, Las Palapas is your best bet. Their pupusas are incredibly delicious, and so are the tacos. I also had the seafood soup, which was loaded with fresh ingredients. The prices are very reasonable and the dining area is always clean. The staff is welcoming, and you can feel the community vibe. Highly recommend for anyone in the mood for genuine comfort food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have mixed feelings about this place. While the food can be quite tasty, I had some major issues with service on my last visit. The server seemed overwhelmed and forgot our order, which caused a long wait. When the food finally arrived, my pupusa was a bit too thick and not filled well. On the bright side, the ambiance is lovely and they do keep the restaurant clean. I hope they can improve service because the food has potential! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every Wednesday is pupusa day at Las Palapas! Their pupusas are not only incredibly affordable but also one of the best in town. I love how they've maintained authenticity in their flavors, making it feel like a little slice of El Salvador right here. The service can get a little busy, especially during the deals, but it's worth the wait. Also, don’t forget to try their fresh horchata - it’s a must! " (*Curated Review*)

" Simply put, Las Palapas is my go-to spot for authentic Salvadoran food! Their pupusas are delicious, and very affordable, especially on special days. I can also recommend their tacos, which are filled with grilled meats and served hot off the grill. The staff are friendly, making sure you feel welcomed. It’s a small place, but the family vibe is what I enjoy the most. Highly recommend anytime! " (*Curated Review*)

" Las Palapas is worth a visit for anyone craving Salvadoran cuisine! The atmosphere has a rustic charm, and the food hits all the right notes – the tacos were delightful! I appreciated the warmth of the staff who rushed to meet our needs. My only complaint was how popular it is; we had to wait a bit for our table, but it was definitely worth the wait. Can’t wait to come back and try more! " (*Curated Review*)
