Palapa's Marisqueria And Sushi - Orange

Avoid this place! The food was terrible. I should have realized something was off when we saw it was empty upon arrival. The only other table with customers left their entire meal untouched. That should have been a sign.

I arrived at 9:00 PM, but they informed us that they were closed. Two other families who had arrived via Uber also had to wait for their next ride to pick them up. Their posted hours indicated they were open from 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM, but they closed early, which is really frustrating for those of us who drove a long way to visit.

To start, they serve delicious chips, salsa, and bean dip, which make for a lovely appetizer. We ordered the California roll, and while it doesn't measure up to any traditional Japanese sushi, it was still decent. The ceviche in salsa negra was amazing, bursting with flavor—definitely my go-to dish. Of course, I had to try a shrimp taco! At first, I was skeptical when I saw it was made with a flour tortilla, but once I took a bite, my taste buds were pleasantly surprised. It was cheesy, crunchy, and had a wonderful kick from the accompanying salsa—it was truly fantastic. I’ll definitely be returning for more soon! One downside was the service; the waitstaff could be friendlier. The atmosphere is quite nice, with some Mexican music playing in the background. On one of my visits, I was charged for valet parking, but thankfully, it seems they've eliminated that fee now. Regarding kid-friendliness, there isn't much on the menu for children. As for parking, I’ve experienced valet charges before, but I hope they've done away with that; it’s absurd to pay for parking just ten feet from the back door. As for wheelchair accessibility, the restaurant is at floor level, which is convenient.

Great food service specials ..l will go back again..to try the ceviche and octopus fish tacos and Marlon tacos

This place the food is so good the only Bad thing I don't understand why back in the days we had to pay someone for Parking ? Valet parking there ? now food is good great but the service from waitress suck every time I go eat there they never come an check on you they don't ask if you need anything, the only awesome person there is Gloria she is the only one that treats customers like real customers, the other lady's don't even smile or say Hi to you, they seem Mad and miserable.: sad.
