La Palapa is a place everyone who as lived in Austin for a long time knows about….and what great tacos! Crispy shell, lots and cheese and veggies, and nicely favored ground beef…..that wasn’t all drippy. Unlike your regular very flat corn tortillas, these shells were super crispy with the little bubbles you get from bread raising. The only negative thing is it seemed all the extras have a price tag (most places do but it seemed like everything did here). When my dining companion asked for a little guaq the wait person quoted the price….a couple tortillas, price…..different side, price. Maybe we just didn’t want to hear it so much. The chips were as fresh and crispy as the shells, and free as were the refills (some places actually charge for chips!). The salsa has a mild heat to it, but a bit too much cumin for my liking. It nearly overwhelmed the other flavors. Alas, it was lunch time during the week, so not beer, but their selection looked inviting. With its cantina and live music nightly, I need to come back.
: The more somberos the better the tacos.
: The more pepppers the better the salsa, not just in 'heat' but in flavor as well.
: Approximate price per pair (One dollar sign per dollar).
