La Palapa - La Cruz

Hard one to review. Great spot on the beach. Waiter was friendly and a good salesman. Started to feel uncomfortable when the waiter told us he found a $1000 bill the bank wont cash. Then asked how much we would give him for it. Left pretty quick after that and wont go back. Beer was also warm. I would be very cautious at this place.

Hello friends, I went to this restaurant today for the very first time. Waitress and owner were so rude. They also tried to overcharge us for drinks and food. When waitress brought the bill, she also added an extra 80 pesos for charging my phone (never seen this anywhere around the world). They later said this was an “optional tip” but there was clearly no option! When I asked explanations about the bill (680 pesos) for 2 tequilla shots, 2 lemonades and guacamole to the owner, she said they added “optional tip” to the bill. Then she said I am not welcome there anymore and tried to make me leave. I insisted so she returned part of my money and threw some on it on the floor. TERRIBLE PEOPLE, please DON’T go there !!!! I also want to say I have been going to Mexico for years and never had this happen to me.

The servers and staff went out to feel comfortable. I was here two weeks. The best margaritas! The beach is like a picture of perfect location. The guacamole was so fresh and delicious! Very recommended. Efrin! You're the best!

I wish I would have read other reviews before going here. My wife ordered chicken cordon blue and it was served raw in the middle. Probably the worst restaurant meal she has ever had. My fish tacos were mediocre. And I see others posting about an additional charge for tipping the staff. Same happened to us. Just a random 120 pecos added to the bill. Just go somewhere else.

The food was amazing, oysters and shrimp tacos. We could not have expected this attentive, friendly service! A certain point must be in Bucerias. Great prices, amazing service, excellent food
