Palapa Mexican Food in Simi Valley

Horrible experience!!!!! Went here with my wife to try out a new restaurant. The bar had about 5 people and the dining room had about 2 tables occupied we were the third. We sat for about 15 to 20 minutes. No service at all, no greeting, no chips and salsa, no drink order, no food order. Absolutely nothing. Then a family of 6 arrives and they get helped immediately with drinks and orders immediately. My wife and I left. Please dont waste your time with this place the staff is unorganized and the prices were overpriced. $0.95 for sour cream and $1.50 for guacamole to add to a $10.00 burrito. I can't comment on the food and how it taste in my opinion probably bad like their service.

Best Mariscos in Ventura County. Family Owned and always friendly. Oh and great drinks too.

Love love love this place....couldn't find better Mexican food if I owned my own Mexican....love it.

Great Chimichanga burrito. Great, friendly service. So-so Margarita. I'll be back!

Great food and wonderful service... Carnitas are amazing

Good food good people

Most authentic Mexican meal I've had, just as good as my abuelita would prepare

Restaurant is in process to accustom to a new service guidelines due to Covid-19.Waitress was attentive but in between phone to-go orders calls and 3 tables, she did a decent job.I ordered tostada mixta (cook shrimp, imitation crab and octopus, half frozen by the way) but taste was good

Highly recommend visiting! The service was wonderful and the food was great. The chicken nachos taste very good, and the buffalo wings are phenomenal. Visit if you are in the area

Favorite spot in Simi. Always a good atmosphere. The servers treat you like family and the food is Amazing .

Margaritas are great! The food, not for me , I can't do spicy and practically everything is spicy there. My mom loved it though. Everything was fresh and made on the spot. Too bad it was so spicy.

Best place in Simi Valley where you can find great Mexican food, best in town Micheladas. The staff are very nice and attentive. Great for a quick bite and a well served beer. Large selection of spirits and beer. And the wings are really good. Overall a great experience.

Great place . We where driving and came across this place . The food was really really good. Nice clean place and their service was amazing as well. Recommend this place

We ate here on a busy Sat night with a dozen people in our group and everyone enjoyed their meal. Good food and good service. I would definitely recommend this place.

THE BEST of Mexican restaurants we have eaten in through ALL our travels! Food excellent, large VARIED menu and very polite and happy wait staff! Quick service and drinks good too! Totally enjoyed!!!

Good

Always great food. Nice size portions at a fair price. 👍👍

Very nice atmosphere large dining room. Good menu wonderful staff fast service. We went on Saturday afternoon there was no waiting.Good selection of Mexican food.

A great find! Aside from supporting a local business, they have great food, a nice atmosphere and customer service! Highly recommended!

Love this place! Service was awesome! Food was awesome! And I'm going to go out on a limb and say they got the best micheladas in town.

Great Cadillac Margaritas and fajitas.

Food is pretty good. Terrible seevice!. Walked in to get a michelada and seafood. Micheladas were terrible I needed extra clamato and lemon to fix it however the waitress was gone, never checked on us. We kept looking around to see if anyone would assist us and nothing. Only 3 waitresses for the whole restaurant and this. After waiting 20 minutes with no food or service. I walked up and jus paid the bill of the two micheladas and left. Management need to jump on this service matter. Such good good place but service will make your clients not come again..

Delicious food and great service.

Great place. Great food and great service. Small place but a good place for dinner or happy hour. Will go back and become my place to go to.

The best food ever....great taste and our waiter was the awesome..

Great place for a quick Mexican dish.

Love Palapa! Food is always great and the guys working there are super friendly!

Authentic Mexican restaurant in Simi Valley, easy to order take out by phone

Delicious food, great price and nice environment. I will definitely come back soon.

Fresh Food, Happy Hour can use an upgrade if they want the Simi crowds. Great for families.

Best margaritas in Simi Valley. The food is pretty good too. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. Prices are reasonable. Hopefully they expand the bar next door soon. Palapas is much better than that Mexican place in front of it.

I feel like home here.

great food. great service. cant believe i waited this long to write a review of this place. my bad guys!

The food is so good here. The ceviche is cheap but good ). I love the Al Pastor burrito with a Lagunitas IPA! The staff is excellent!

Fantastic margarita. Tacos are okay. (I'm fresh from Quintana Roo so greatly biased.) Very good bar service.

I was highly disappointed in Palapas tonight. Plain and simple not the same experience as in the past. I’ve relocated to Ventura and was in town and decided to go eat there since it had been a while and introduced my brother to it and he also had a horrible experience. The food tasted horrible and they forgot to add our sour cream and guacamole. I brought it to the waiters attention and he brought us out some but still didn’t change the taste of the food. The quality of food was horrible in comparison to the past. Overall overrated and over priced. I will not be returning ever again.

Delicious food. Good service.

Good food, slow service

This is a hidden gem in Simi. The drinks are fantastic and well priced, the service is good and the food is fabulous. Stay it's mine, ALL MINE!

The food is great service is good. It's a big place, so there's always more room.

Good food, nice atmosphere and tasty drinks

Great Mexican home style food! Love this place

The best tasting mexican food. Didn't leave feeling stuffed like most restaurants. We were comfortably full. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Food served in a timely manner. Cant wait to go back again!

Not very good. Service was fine. Great happy hour prices. But would not go back to eat there.

Very good service and great food...

Nice little place for drinks with friends. A nice selection of beers and cocktails.

Great experience, amazing taste!!

Nice staff good food

After reading the reviews My husband and I really wanted to try the food in this restaurant but after of 15min to 20min been sitting no one stop by to bring chips or ask for what we want to drink. A family got there and as soon as they got there they help them...Bad customer service, they dont have an excuse because there were only about 5 people in the restaurant....Muy mal servicio, nadie nos a tendio después de esperar de 15 a 20 min. Casi nos salimos y ni cuenta se dan... Cuando me acerqué a la mesera a decirle gracias por los servicios, me dijo que de nada no se dio cuenta que ni a mi ni a mi esposo no nos avian atendido... No lo recomiendo....I do not recommend this restaurant.... Thanks for nothing...

Poor customer service . First the waiter brought me the wrong beverage, waited 10 minutes for extra sauce for my food, then the waiter had the nerve to ask me when I was done eating how long I was going to be there because he had a big party coming in and if I can move to another table. Not a great visit.
