Great view, atmosphere & SOME good food

LOVE the view, great service (they'll bring you out Mexican blankets to wrap up in if it's cold!) and their nachos, empanadas (Not the goat cheese ones) are great and the other reviewer who sao their ceviche was bad is an anomaly; it's the best I've ever had & all my friends agree. But I'd say other than their appetizers, the test of their food is mediocre & pricey. But a great place to go for a drink and a snack on the beach. And their live music is usually pretty good tho sometimes too loud.

La Palapa has the worst food EVER!!! ordered Ceviche and sent it back. It tasted like cheese that had been sitting in the sun all day. We would have been better off eating at burger king. the food was pricey and not worth it. save your money and eat at Super Mex instead - around the corner on 2nd street. maybe if you are unaware what mexican food tastes like you would like it, but i'm not interested in eating watery beans and yellow rice from a box. i thought to myself, "how can you mess up chicken enchiladas?" now i know, la palapa can. oh and even the chips tasted bad. bring a bag of tostitos instead.

you have a nice view of the beach and friendly service but that doesn't make up for the worst food in long beach.

Seriously!! Gross!

• Pros: Waiters will take food back.
• Cons: Everything else.

Everything I have ordered here has been amazing from the raspberry mojitos to the shrimp quesadillas. The view is amazing, the live music is decent and the service is excellent. One of my favorite restuarants in Long Beach!
