Takeria La Palapa — Restaurant in Marathon

Ordered from this place for a big group of people on Cinco De Mayo. I requested an extreme amount of food, lol. I even had some special requests for some of the order. The staff, who I believe might be the owners took the order down to the letter. They were extremely fast at making the food and gave me a realistic time frame when I could come back to pick everything up. Everything smelled so amazing, and it took everything in me not to break into the food before getting back to the rest of my group. The location is easy to find, and the food truck is set up like a tiki hut. It's actually really cute, and you can tell that they put a lot of time and effort into making their food truck inviting. When I arrived back at my destination with all of the food everyone was blown away. One of the members of our group is actually a chef, and she thought the food was amazing. Needless to say we had an amazing meal so much so that some of our party went back the next day to order from this place again. If you're in the area I would absolutely recommend a visit. You won't be...

UPDATE: My family and I spend 4 months a year in Marathon and eat out often. We’ve now tried everything on the menu—and not a single dish has been just "OK" or average. Every meal has been outstanding. This is hands-down the best and most consistently excellent food in Marathon!

We recently visited this food truck, and it did not disappoint! My wife and I tried one of each taco, and they were hands down the best we've had in Florida. The flavors were authentic, fresh, and absolutely delicious. Our kids shared a cheese quesadilla, and they enjoyed every bite. The hot sauce and pineapple salsa were the perfect additions, adding just the right amount of heat and sweetness to the meal. If you’re looking for an authentic taco experience, I highly recommend making a point...

Was looking for some lunch and the city of Marathon had lost power, so a lot of restaurants in the area were closed or only excepting cash, (we went to a few spots). We rolled up to La Palapa and they were open. The owner was the nicest guy ever, he had his kiddo working with him and a few ladies in the back. We placed our order and the food came up two minutes later. It was AMAZING. Hot fresh delicious and the portions were huge. We got a mix of tacos. We got chicken, carnitas, and carne. Also got chips and guacamole which was also awesome. Finishing with a 4 pack of churros and some Paradise Flavors coconut ice cream bars, they are another local ice cream shop in the area. Come see these guys. They deserve every bit of business they get....
