If you’re looking for a unique place with authentic Mexican food, great drinks, and friendly and welcome services you have to try La Palapa del Captain. We had the fish tacos, shrimp tacos, and nachos and paired it with margaritas and mojitos. I really can’t say enough about this place. It’s a must try on the island. :) Thank you La Palapa del Captain and staff!
Best food you can find on isla by far. Homemade, by a very modest family. A mix between the savors of mexico ans the sea at large. Any rating below 5 is just crazy
The owners take great pride in their establishment and make eating here feel like you are sitting out back at a family bbq. I really enjoyed the stories and the xnipec explanation. I learned about some of the traditions and a little about their family in the short lunch break we took here. Both the chicken and beef fajitas were prepared perfectly. Thank you for your hospitality, we will be back.
Tell us what you ordered and what it cost. Two or three sentences about one dish is more useful to the next person than a star rating.
Nearest first, then across the Rio Grande Valley.
