@eater

"La Palapa is the abuelo of East Village Mexican restaurants, with the bill of fare based partly on the cookbooks of Diane Kennedy, via chef Barbara Sibley. Consistent with the name, the restaurant has a beach-resort ambiance, and dishes like red pozole, market-style corn on the cob, three-cheese quesadillas, and skirt steak enchiladas in a chile arbol salsa." - Robert Sietsema
