Super good the only thing that needs to be changed is the bathroom. The stalls have holes in them and no privacy and not really clean. But food is great 10/10 food

We love La Palusa. The food is always fresh and very good and a very good deal. The service is just fine. The restaurant is not a fancy restaurant however it is clean and well cared for. The chips and salsa are so good. It is just our go to place.

We found this little Mexican restaurant through Yelp and we are glad we did. Arrived in the evening in a Friday, there were not many sitting customers, but plenty of take out ones. Complimentary chips and salsa was good, but the salsa itself was very mild. Added some hot sauce that was at the table to spice it up a bit. They were temporarily out of tequila, so instead of a margarita, I had a Negro Modelo instead. No worries. My husband ordered a "jumbo" draft (yes, they have multiple sizes) and was shocked by the size. (See picture!) Our food came out quickly. My husband ordered the Crazy Burrito (pork) and it was huge and delicious. Super tender meat, spicy salsa verde, good rice and yummy refried beans. He couldn't finish it all, so 1/2 came home with us. (It was bigger than it looks in the picture.) I had the Chicken Suiza Enchiladas, a dish I haven't had in years. It was scrumptious. The sauce was lovely and the chicken was melt-in-your-mouth tender. Definitely one of the best I've had. Everything was very affordable. The restaurant itself was cute and very clean. Our waitress was lovely. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet Mexican restaurant with excellent food!
