Karoke and drinking not a good mix here
by Irenept16
We had a happy hour and a great time but when it came time to pay they did not honor all of the happy hour prices they were just rude and short "no that was full price" when me and my fiance knew we had ordered all except the last two drinks at the happy hour prices and the happy hour prices are note even great prices and then to top it off when my friends were the last to leave the bar they told them a lot of people from our group did not pay their tabs and they got stuck paying other peoples tabs which everyone had paid already... I think they figured since they had plenty to drink and were last to leave they tried to stick them with more then what was really owed. So take good notes if you go (keep track of who leaves and what everyone ordered and paid for and happy hour orders - to a lot to do but you'll be sorry if you don't)
- Pros: Great Karoke
- Cons: Service and prices not so great

Great Mexican cuisine, entertainment
by hazyfan
I put together a birthday party for my friends and family and had it at La Palapa on a suggestion of friend who said it was a really fun place on Saturday night. She was right! We had a night complete with great mexican food (the best I've had in Austin yet) served by a courteous and friendly wait staff. About half way through our dinner the karaoke guy started and I have to say I've never been so entertained by karaoke! Not only was he a talented singer--he was truly entertaining! And he had every song we wanted to sing, and the sound was clear and NOT OVERLY LOUD. He even accommodated my kids when they wanted to sing a song. I really appreciated the family atmosphere--no vulgar language. And did I mention the food was muy bueno!?
- Pros: Excellent food, service, bar, and karaoke
- Cons: What are the drawbacks?
