Great authentic Mexican food with great service and huge portions. You cannot go wrong coming here. The only negative is you MUST reserve ahead of time and depending when you want to go the wait is about 80-85 minutes. Well worth it!

Las Palapas in Livonia – what a gem! We were on the hunt for a decent dinner spot when a local shop clerk recommended it, promising a lively atmosphere. They weren’t wrong. Even on a fully booked Saturday night, we waited barely five minutes before a table was organized, which was impressive on its own. The place was buzzing with energy, and the service team matched it stride for stride, friendly and efficient. They made everything look easy, balancing warmth with speed, which, let’s face it, isn’t always a given. From ordering to digging into some great nachos with perfectly balanced, not-too-spicy salsa, it all happened smoothly and fast.
Now, about the burritos – absolute beasts. We’re two strength athletes who can typically eat an all-you-can-eat buffet into submission, but these burritos left us waving the white flag. Packed with flavor, high-quality ingredients, and more filling than we could handle in one go, they were genuinely impressive. We took home enough leftovers for another round, which says a lot. And let’s not forget the queso – rich, creamy, and just a perfect addition to the experience.
Overall, we had an absolute blast here. Great food, top-notch service, and a fun, lively atmosphere. Safe to say, we’ll definitely be making our way back to Las Palapas. A clear recommendation if you’re in the area and up for a fantastic meal.

The food looked amazing, but the taste didn’t measure up. It was surprisingly bland, lacking the seasoning and bold flavors you’d expect from Mexican food. I didn’t even bother finishing my leftovers, which says a lot!
The margarita flight was OK. It was overly sweet and not well-balanced. The blood orange margarita was the best of the bunch, but even that wasn’t enough to make up for the rest. Honestly, this spot felt more like a TikTok trend than a true foodie spot.

Haven’t been to Las Palapas in a few years due to past negative experiences with the food and service. Decided to give it another try today and WOW what a difference!! Is it under new ownership?! Food had flavor, portions were huge (prices did go up significantly, but that’s ok, I will pay for great food and service) service was great and just all around it was a great meal! Thank you for not disappointing!

Drove 45 minutes for this gem.second time here to
3rd best mexican in southern michigan in opinion.
4 tacos for 16 is the best deal
Nachos Supreme is the best nachos all around. They layer each Nachos with meat and vegetables, not just everything on top like most places do.must order if you're here
Tacos are fully loaded generous
Birria taco to die for.
I typically spend close to 100 bucks around my area
Here 50 buck .so much food for generous amounts of food, believe me, it is worth the drive
Everything was fresh, hot, delicious
Plus, friendly staff.
Give this place a try if u love fully loaded food and great prices
