La Palapa Seafood Grill & Cantina is a dream come true for the owner, Mr. Alberto Soto. After graduating from college in Mexico with a culinary arts degree, Alberto had a dream of opening his own Mexican restaurant and with hard work and dedication, in 2012 he opened Dona Tere Mexican Restaurant. It featured fresh handmade authentic Mexican food and the guests loved it.It has continued to be a big success since it opened.

Then in 2020, Alberto was inspired on a trip to a beautiful beach in Mexico called Celestun (Yucatan) and this is when he decided he wanted to open a second restaurant in the Houston area. In his new restaurant “La Palapa Coastal Cantina” he wanted to incorporate freshly made-from-scratch Seafood favorites along with many traditional Tex-Mex favorites. Bringing the best of both cuisines, for a wonderful one-of-a-kind restaurant experience.

After working hard for two years Alberto was able to open his new concept in 2021, La Palapa Coastal Cantina in Spring, Texas. He is very proud to have brought his dream to life and welcomes you and your family for wonderful food, drinks, and service.
At La Palapa we take pride in serving only the freshest seafood available, quality meats and freshly grown produce. We cook everything from scratch, every day, the way Alberto has done things from the very beginning.
Thank you for coming to La Palapa and giving us the opportunity to serve you!
