It is also Hockley County’s county seat, with State Highway 114 among its main road connections. Those details make Levelland more than just a direction on a map when planning a Lubbock-bound day.

From the La Palapa menu
Build a shortlist with a little variety
Grilled meats, shrimp and birria give you three very different starting points for the meal. You can compare them with appetizers and desserts in the full menu before making a final choice.
Shrimp Cocktail
Jumbo shrimp are served in the restaurant’s signature cocktail sauce with pico de gallo and avocado. It is a different seafood option from the pasta and fried mojarra choices, giving you more than one way to explore the category.
Birria Torta
Melted cheese, juicy birria, onions, cilantro, guacamole, consommé and French fries make up this taqueria choice. If you want birria without choosing ramen or enchiladas, the torta is another menu direction to consider.
