Loved the ambience, but especially enjoyed the meal and appreciated that my shrimp was succulent, and the duck dish was full of flavour and the margaritas were amazing. Will recommend to my friend and family. Our waitress was excellent!! Thank you for the wonderful service and meal.

Traditional Mexican Food, Vibrant & Tropical Vibe, Great Service & Authentic Charm!
Las Palapas is a fantastic Mexican restaurant in Saskatoon serving a huge variety of traditional Mexican dishes. The interior is painted in bright colours and has uniquely Mexican decor, along with a tropical vibe and authentic charm. Eating at this restaurant made me feel like I had been transported to Mexico!
I ate at Las Palapas twice during my four day stay in Saskatoon and ordered the beans and corn enchiladas (vegetarian and corn tortillas to make it gluten-free) with sides of Mexican rice and warm refried beans. The enchiladas tasted so delicious - flavourful and authentic. Having traveled extensively throughout Mexico's Yucatan, I can honestly say that these enchiladas tasted on par with those I ate in Mexico.
The service was friendly and I loved the colourfully painted interior, the Spanish mariachi music playing quietly in the background, and the authentic Mexican vibe of the restaurant.
The majority of their menu was gluten-free and there were a variety of vegetarian options as well.
I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone traveling through Saskatoon and I am so looking forward to eating here again during my next visit to the city! I wish my hometown of Winnipeg had an amazing Mexican restaurant like this one!
Authentic, delicious Mexican cuisine! The chicken enchilada, beef burrito, rice and beans, everything was so good. It tasted good with the extra spicy sauce they have on the table side. Definitely one of the best Mexican food in the city.
I stopped in for lunch on a recent business trip to Saskatoon. The exterior doesn’t do the restaurant justice. The interior is colourful and warm, and the food rocks. I had vegan black bean & corn enchiladas, and they were fantastic. Great staff, food and atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back!
Addicted to the chicken pozole soup here! So delicious and inexpensive! Tried the guacamole today as well and was wicked! The fuzzy poncho tropical drink was to die for. Wouldn’t recommend the Cesar’s though. Could hardly choke it down but I don’t abuse alcohol!

Las Palapas is a good choice for Mexican in Saskatoon. The menu is large and diverse, and most meals are very customizable with a variety of unique sides. The interior of the place is part of the charm, it kind of looks like a pinata exploded inside the building - I bet kids would really be enamored with it.
I recommend anything with an adobo sauce, such as the chilied pork enchiladas, but there are plenty more conservative options like quesadillas for picky eaters too. I really like the array of salsas that are served - you can pick 2 of them (there must be 4-6 different ones to choose from) to accompany your chips should you order chips as an appetizer. The use of cheddar cheese in all the dishes as opposed to queso fresco might put you off if you're looking for really authentic mexican (see La Bamba for that) but really I doubt most patrons even notice it. Portion sizes can seem a little small compared to competitors (Why are the refried beans spread so thin? It's not like they're made of gold.)
The location is good and bad - good because the off-Broadway geographical location means it's easily accessible but relaxed and relatively peaceful, but the building itself is quite small relative to the popularity of the restaurant, meaning that you probably want a reservation at peak times. Service has always been at least good and often great every time I've visited.
Great tacos and margaritas! The bean salad is my favourite. I love the addition of the back room, makes you feel like you are eating in a Mexican oasis.
One of the best Mexican restaurants I have ever been to and the best one in Saskatoon! Their rewards program is great and keeps me coming back, I recommend their coconut shrimp, and if you like ceasers go on a Sunday for coconut shrimp ceasers! I recommend this place to anyone and I always bring friends and family there when they visit Saskatoon!
This place is the bee's knees, truly! Love the food, especially the shrimp tacos! I'm kind of hoping by low-balling you with the review I can get a little love though (sorry). It would be great if you guys could make it PAINSTAKINGLY clear what the vegan/vegetarian items are on your menu. When I'm trying to do surveys at work for where peeps want to eat, they typically skip you guys over because they don't want to parse the whole menu just to see if they can eat here.
Love this place! I love the guacamole every time. It's simple, but so delicious. I also really love the pulled pork enchiladas. There is usually a wait on weekends, but it's always been worth it for me.
I liked the atmosphere and the decor (very bright and cheerful)! The place was busy but luckily we didn't have to wait long for a table. Service was not something to write home about, our server was just okay. I had the chilied pork enchiladas with a side of refried beans and I really enjoyed everything! I would suggest serving food on smaller plates though, or add a bit more food (second side perhaps?) so there isn't so much empty space on the plates... I would go back, the menu is quite large and there are many dishes I would like to try.
I can't say enough good things about Las Palapas. After years of visiting monthly, I have consistently had wonderful service and top notch food.
If you love Mexican Food, Las Palapas will not disappoint! Food is excellent, music is really good, (much better if you can understand Spanish language) and people are really welcoming! It's our first time here and will definitely be back!
This restaurant was the very first date that my current husband and I ever went on together, nearly 12 years ago! I remember him and I talked for an hour before we ordered. I ordered the extra large burrito. He said that was one of his clues I was the one. Now nearly 12 years ago - after marriage, life, and a baby we came to celebrate my birthday! I've come many times previous to this but it's one restaurant that will forever go down as history as "the place I found love". Delicious food and drinks. It will make you feel like youre in Mexico.
The food here is phenomenal the atmosphere is so vibrant it's worth just going to see the restaurant not even eating. The drinks were amazing the service was good overall it was a very pleasant experience I left very full
I loved the ambience. Just wow.. You get authentic Mexican vibes.
Food was good. Expected to be better based on reviews. We got Tacos, Enchiladas & Bowl. Overall had great experience !
It was a weekday that means there wasn't any rush. Someone wants to try mexican, this is the place to be !!

I would echo some other reviews thst parking can be a bit hard to find. There is 2 spots in front and then about 4 stalls on the north side of the building. I ended up just parking on the street on the north side.
The vibe in here is quite cool. Neat decorations throughout the restaurant gives it a unique feel.
I kicked things off with a Saskatoon berry mojito ($1 off on Mondays) and had the Chipotle beef burrito. The drink was excellent with a nice local flare from the Saskatoon berries. The price of the burrito is pretty reasonable but I found the burrito to be a bit on the small side for me. It was tasty though, electing for the side of sour cream. I would recommend someone ordering this burrito.
To fill me up though I ordered two tacos. I went with the shredded chicken and the shredded beef pork both on corn. Both delicious, and about the size you would expect. The shredded pork came with Parmesan cheese which I found to be an interesting but tasty combination. Overall quite enjoyed this Mexican place. I would come here again for sure!
Only second time for me at Las Palapas and a great reminder we have a solid Mexican restaurant in Saskatoon! Burritos were the best i have had in a long while.
Jenna was serving our table, she was friendly and polite. Enjoyed sitting outside, big patio is awesome for summer days.
Had a great stop with my brother here and will be coming back when feeling like good Mexican food!
This wonderfully authentic restaurant is always a pleasure to experience, and definitely worth the trouble of finding a parking spot to stop in. The decor is carefully thought out to the smallest detail, and we were thrilled to learn that every piece was sourced directly from Mexico or the Caribbean. Still cannot get over how amazing the chairs are in particular... and even the table bases matched the chairs around it. Stunning to the last. The drinks were decadent, the food was delicious, and the staff were friendly. Worth the wait! We also appreciated the convenience of a text notification when our table was ready. Over all, just a great experience as always!
Amazing as always! We had Anna as a server who did an excellent job. Tacos were fantastic and flavourful. Will continue to recommend las palapas.
