A "Best of" win is really a win for the people behind the counter. The kitchen crews firing up the comal before sunrise, the servers carrying plates with a smile, the drive-thru teams sending orders out fresh and fast. This one is for them. ๐Ÿ™Œ

San Antonio, you voted Las Palapas your KSAT SA Picks winner in FIVE categories: Best Mexican/Tex-Mex, Tacos, Margaritas, Food Truck, and Franchise/Chain. And we get to celebrate it in our 45th year.

To our teams across San Antonio, Boerne, and New Braunfels: thank you for doing it right every single day. And to everyone who voted, thank you for keeping us part of your family's table for 45 years and counting. โค๏ธ

Friday night lights are back, and we are proud to be part of it.

Las Palapas is the presenting sponsor of Friday Night Lights with our friends at the Valero Alamo Bowl, spotlighting 10 local games this fall. A percentage of sales goes right back into our school districts, along with $5,000 in teacher grants, because supporting the next generation is something we believe in.

Week 1 kicks off Friday, 9/4: Buda Johnson vs. Pieper at Pieper Warrior Coliseum, 7:30 PM.

Come hungry and find us at the concession stand. Grab a little Tex-Mex, cheer loud, and make it a great night. Tag someone who never misses a Friday game.

September's Margarita of the Month is back by popular demand. ๐Ÿท

Say hello (again) to the Sangria-Rita, one of last year's most-loved flavors, and it's every bit as good as you remembered. Our frozen house margarita gets swirled with sweet red sangria for that perfect grape-meets-tequila harmony. Dress it up however you like, sugar or salt on the rim, your call.

Pair it with a sizzling fajita platter or a basket of chips and queso, and your Friday just got a whole lot better.

$8.99 all month long at your neighborhood Las Palapas in San Antonio, Boerne, and New Braunfels.

Some weekends call for the good stuff. ๐Ÿน

The LP Clรกsico is our top shelf margarita, and every part of it earns its place. Corazรณn Reposado tequila. Magdala orange liqueur. Fresh lime juice and agave nectar. Salt on the rim, ice in the glass, nothing hiding behind sour mix.

Order it alongside a sizzling fajita platter, pull up a seat at the bar or out on the patio, and let the weekend take it from there. Don't forget about our Happy Hour!

Every order needs a salsa. The real question is which one. ๐ŸŒถ๏ธ

Our Voted Best Salsa comes three ways:

๐Ÿ”ด Mild Red: bright, fresh, and vibrant, made with tomatoes, jalapeรฑos, and fresh cilantro for our gentlest kick
๐ŸŸ  Medium Roasted: rich, dark, and smoky, made with fire-roasted tomatoes and jalapeรฑos for a deep flavor profile
๐ŸŸข Hot Green: smooth, creamy, and fiery, blended with tomatillos, jalapeรฑos, onions, and cilantro to deliver our highest heat level

We'll go first. Crispy tacos with Mild Red is a classic, but fajitas with Hot Green is where things get serious.

Now your turn. What's your go-to LP order, and which salsa are you pairing it with? Drop it below and tag someone who needs to try your combo. ๐Ÿ‘‡
