If you want the fun and festive feel of Mexico without leaving Ellicott City, La Palapa is a great place to visit. This grill and cantina serves up fresh, flavorful Mexican fare in a fun atmosphere that’s perfect for everything from family dinners to nights out with friends.
What this spot lacks in ambiance it more than makes up for in fun, friendly energy, with a knowledgeable wait staff and a bustling bar area in the front. If you come with a group for happy hour, expect large, shareable appetizers and a number of different types of margaritas. The chicken quesadilla and stuffed jalapenos are especially popular. For lunch and dinner, Mexican fare classics like enchiladas, burritos, chimichangas, and tacos come with sides like rice and beans. La Palapa also offers sandwiches for guests with simpler tastes, and the children’s menu includes smaller portions that are perfect for the little ones.
