La Palapa Mexican Restaraunt

What a gem of a li’l family Mexican place! Fresh chips and hot salsa, shrimp tostadas, and substantial fish tacos! The caramel-y flan really sealed the deal at the end too. :)

I went for taco Tuesday on Tuesday and they were phenomenal. the waiter which is the owner's son and he was excellent, really nice guy I believe his name was Caesar. And the margaritas that Cesar made was great.

Amazing family owned Mexican spot. Huge space olesnty of room to hang. The bartender is great. Quality line up of booze and the food is perfect Mexican cuisine. You can't do any better in the high desert. It's a bit hidden and don't judge the exterior the food and drinks are the stars here.

Spent the day at Joshua Tree National Park. The places in the town of Joshua Tree fill up quickly so we drove to Yucca Valley and La Palapa. Excellent food. Started with two ice cold beers in frosted mugs. Loved the salsa that came with the chips. Had a nice kick to it. I had chicken enchiladas w/green sauce and my wife had chicken street tacos. Both dishes were excellent as was the rice and beans.
