I don't know why everyone is bonkers over the fish tacos here. My wife and I ordered the fish tacos to go (we didn't venture in with our 2 year old son having a fussy day). First of all, the price is too high. I ordered the lunch fish taco (not tacos, taco). It came with rice and beans (nothing... more

Tonight, my hubby, toddler son, and I ate at La Paz. We ordered the fish tacos for ourselves and quesadilla for our son. This New Mexico style restaurant surpassed our expectations. The chili con queso cup was the perfect appetizer with the complimentary chips and salsa. The fish tacos were freshly grilled and delicious and paired with black beans and... more

Pitcher of margaritas, though good, were very expensive. Fish tacos were good, crab enchiladas very bland. Will not come back. more

Great commercials! Centrally located. Good Mexican Restaurant atmosphere. Good service. Nice Bar and great food at a reasonable price. I would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for Mexican food in Destin. It's located in "old Destin" vs. "new Destin" in Miramar Beach. more

It was ok, nothing special. If you have a Tex Mex place at home, then don't be surprised to feel like you are home again when you go. more

Nice Upscale Tex/Mex style dining, affordable food, great service and atmosphere. This place does well even in the off season. So the Local's Like it. Good Drinks! Cantina is casual and fun to hang out in. Great place to have a birthday party. Love the margaritas and cheeze dip here. more

When we lived in the Destin area eleven years ago, La Paz was one of our favorite restaurants. When we started thinking about which restaurants we wanted to go back to while staying in Sandestin for a conference, La Paz was at the top of our list. We went for dinner last night (May 27th) and were not disappointed. The... more

We had visited La Paz in Atlanta, and were thrilled to find a location in Destin. They have the best cheese dip ever - and really good margaritas as well. The fish tacos and burritos were outstanding - we will be back again! more
