This popular Mexican restaurant is rolling back some menu items to 1981 prices

New Las Palapas location now open at 4438 N Loop 1604 E

SAN ANTONIO – Is it safe to say there’s a good portion of us who absolutely love tacos and margaritas?

If you said yes, you’ve probably visited Las Palapas a time or two, and the restaurant chain just opened its largest location on the far north side at 1604 and O’Connor Road. It sits at 6,000 square feet, with a large bar, patio and double drive-thru.

Las Palapas, as you might know, is budget-friendly, and it serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. And as it celebrates its 40th year in business, it is rolling back some menu items to prices from 1981, the year it opened.

Here are a couple of specials the new location will have for customers, beginning Monday:

Drive-thru:

  • Breakfast tacos for 40 cents a taco, from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. The tacos include bean and cheese, bacon and egg, chorizo and egg, potato and egg, and sausage and egg. *Limit of 10 tacos per order.
  • Margarita (12 ounces) for $1.99

Dine in:

  • Huevos Rancheros plate for $4.99, from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m.
  • Chicken fajita plate for $4.99, from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.

The specials mentioned above will run from Monday, Aug. 23 through Friday, Aug. 27.

As Las Palapas celebrates its 40th birthday this year with roll-back pricing from 1981, there will be other specials on select days, such as 69-cent tacos, $2.99 enchiladas and chicken flauta plates for $4.29.

To keep up with the roll-back pricing deals on Mondays and Wednesdays, follow Las Palapas on Facebook @MyLasPalapas.

The Las Palapas O’Connor location is open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Sunday.
