El mejor restaurante de mariscos que existe, comer allí es uno de los mejores plaseres que puede tener tu paladar, el experimentar como se te hace agua la boca y tus tripas rugen con el solo olor de la comida, la calidad de presentacion es de lo mas creativa y riguboroza que he presenciado. El restaurante no solo cuenta con exelente comida, si no que tambien cuenta con una decoracion exotica y tematica que le da un entorno muy tranquilo he increible, el servicio es estupendo y no hablemos de la encantadora, tierna, he inteligente y explendida cosinera que prepara los esquisitos platillos con los que pudemos degustar nuestros paladares. La palapa el charro es el lugar perfecto para llevar a quien sea y pasar una increible tarde rodeada de jardines naturales, paisajes sorprendentes, inclusi cuenta con una tentadora alberca en la que puedes pasar todo el dia divirtiendote. En mi estancia en la Palapa me encontre con una numerosa familia que contienen una tradición inquebrantable de juntarse cada año en ese restaurante a selebrar lo perseverante que es esa familia.Uff, no acabaria de contarles lo maravillosa que fue mi experiencia en La Palapa el charro, tienen que ir para que entiendan lo magnifico que es degustar de un lugar como ese. Yo le doy un 100 y mi mas grandes deceos tanto para el restaurante como a su personal, no les falaceo cuando digo lo increible que esta todo.
