First things first . Their Con Todo burrito is THE star of the show . Combination of their two most popular burritos , birria and Frijole con queso. They recommend 2-3 burritos which is honestly spot on for their price point . Also, service is highly attentive . The cashiers up front do a great job explaining the restaurant's menu and giving their own personal recommendations. Just wish they had salsa variation ,other than that 10/10 spot !. Outside seating is also available paired with music which makes for pretty good vibes if you're wanting to chill and enjoy a nice bite . read more

Good, but not Michelin-hype worthy (and a weird vibe) While in Costa Mesa, we stopped by Burritos La Palma--a Michelin-recognized Mexican spot I've been hearing a lot about. I'll start with the positives: the place is clean, parking was easy (which is a big deal in this area), and the service was great--friendly and fast. Everything came out fresh and hot. I ordered two of their small burritos and a torta, and overall, the food was good. But if I'm being completely honest... I was expecting more. For a Michelin-rated spot, nothing really stood out as amazing or memorable. It didn't have that "wow" factor--it honestly felt comparable to other solid local Mexican spots nearby. Not bad at all, just not something that made me understand the hype. Now for something unexpected that kind of threw off the whole experience... While we were there, a woman showed up outside with a microphone and started talking to patrons about local politics. She wasn't rude, just completely out of place. There's both indoor and shaded outdoor seating (which is nice), but people were clearly there to enjoy lunch--not get approached about policies. We chose to sit inside, but we could still see everything going on. People were visibly uncomfortable--staring, putting in headphones, even leaving early. It definitely killed the vibe. Bottom line: Clean, easy parking, fast service Fresh, good food Didn't live up to Michelin expectations Strange, disruptive atmosphere during our visit Was it good? Yes. Was it "OMG you have to go here" good? No. I'm glad I tried it, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come back or recommend it--especially if the experience is going to be that unpredictable. read more

Love this place to grab lunch the bean and cheese burritos are my favorite. On the smaller side you will need 2-3 to be full. They added some new menu items like the nachos and they were yummy. Also have tried the Birria (con todo and regular) and deshebrada those are good as well! read more

Burritos La Palma - Mexican Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Burritos La Palma is a Michelin Bib Gourmand Recommendation as an inexpensive spot for good food. Their burritos run for about $5/each and they say that they recommend 2-3 burritos per person. The burritos are fun-sized, and the star of their show is their flour tortillas that are filled with your ingredients of choice. I think the frijoles con queso (bean and cheese) are the best complement to the perfect flour tortilla; however, if you get their "con todo", it has the bean and cheese with their birria meat. This was my favorite flavor combo. We also ordered their chicken tinga, which had contrasting bites of chicken, bite sized potato, and chipotle pepper. Got the chicharron burrito; however, I'd only recommend it to you if you like the texture of a chewy chicharron, which is not what I enjoy. While the burritos are smaller and you may need a few to fill you up, I do like the ratio of tortilla to filling. The lighter burritos make it easier to appreciate their great tortillas. Salsas are thin and watery with some jalapeno flavor. The burritos were also served with a side of raw jalapeno, which was fine. Overall, I think this is a great spot for an inexpensive meal (unless you need 5-6 of them to get your fill). I'd definitely come back if I was in the area; however, I do have other options closer to me in Long Beach (Sonoratown, Joliza's tacos) that may fill the craving. read more

The food here is so good! Not that many options but it's pretty straightforward. You know what you're getting when you walk in there, and the flavor is great. Totally recommend! You have seating inside and outside. The ladies working there are so nice and so patient. read more

First time here! The burritos were small and good. Especially great for under $5 if you have a small enough appetite for just one!! The beef birria was yum!! I didn't love the salsa but could tell it still tasted fresh, it just needed a little somethin somethin! read more

If you're looking for a birria burrito, look no further. I highly recommend that you get there. Combo burrito. Their refried beans are amazing. This is a nice little restaurant. Pretty cozy, but it still feels that it has ample space. They don't have the table super close together and there is also seating outside. I happen to try most of the burritos, the one that I recommend is the birria burrito. The other burritos are solid as well, but I felt like they could use a bit more. Now this is coming from someone whose mom is known to be the best cook in the family. So maybe I'm judging them to my standards or to my mom standards, which I know is not fair, but you can't go wrong with anything you get here. I will definitely be back if I'm in the area. read more

Good new addition to the Costa Mesa area but be warned that it is different from the other taquerias in the area. Here's what you need to know: 1. Smaller burritos but the 2-3 options are filling 2. Normally, I'm a huge chicharron person but it was a little on the fatty side (so much so I couldn't fully enjoy it) 3. The salsa on the side is quite mild 4. Jalapeños are provided 5. Mexican soda options as well 6. Indoor seats available 7. Quick service It's worth trying at least one to see if it's your cup of tea. The con todo was probably the overall favorite. read more

Happen to be next to the plaza where Burritos La Palma and I was craving a burrito so it was meant-to-be! It was just before noon and we were the 2nd in line but wow...there was a line out the door when we finished ordering. We ordered the following: 01. Quesadilla Con Carne $6.75 - 4 Stars - Ordered this to-go so I didn't get a photo of it. I was told it was really good. 02. Chips & Salsa $3.50 - 4 Stars - You get a different salsa than the salsa for their burritos. It's a red salsa. A good amount of chips too but I didn't get a photo of it. 03. 2-Frijol Con Queso $4.95 - 5 Stars - The beans were seasoned well and the cheese was melty. No wonder it's a fan favorite. Their flour tortillas were so soft and warm, tasted very fresh. 04. Birria $4.95 - 3.5 Stars - The flavor was good, not too robust like other Birrias. I wished they would put the Birria Consommé on the side so the tortillas wouldn't get soggy. If you dine in, the tortillas will hold up but if you take it to-go, it does get a bit too soggy. 05. Chicharron $4.95 - 2 Stars - The one we didn't like. When I think of Chicharron, I think crispy Pork Skin. Theirs was super soft, more like soggy in texture. It wasn't good, the texture made it worse. The menu says it is spicy but it wasn't at all. I prefer the pork skin to be crispy. It's just my preference. I wouldn't order this again. 06. Deshebrada $4.95 - 4 Stars - One of our fave out of the 6 Burrito options. It had the most flavor and wasn't too drenched with the sauce. We loved the Green Chile and Potato combo with the Shredded Beef. PARKING - Located in the same plaza with CVS Pharmacy and tucked in the corner. There's plenty of parking, it's a busy plaza so just watch for drivers not looking. CUSTOMER SERVICE - Staff were all so friendly. Service was fairly quick. FOODS - Their Flour Tortillas are 10/10 for us. The Burritos are skinny and small about the length of your hand (normal size hands not small hands). The Flavors of the meats is not robust or charred, think of "Crock Pot", "Slow Cooked" style. That is what came to our minds as we were eating them. They are good but not a "WOW" factor for your tastebuds. Our FAVE is the Frijol Con Queso (Bean/Cheese) and the Deshebrada (Shredded Beef). Their salsa is on the watery side but decent. The flavor was not spicy at all, more mild-medium spicy level. When you order Chips and Salsa, it's a thicker Salsa. I don't know if you could swap out the watery one for the thicker one. Will ask next time. VERDICT - I would come back to get the Frijol Con Queso and the Deshebrada burritos. It's a decent burrito, just tell yourself not to expect a big burrito so you're not in shock. Yes, they are small but tasty. Yes they are different than most burritos but good. Did you know they hold the Michelin Award 5 Years in a row? Pretty impressive for a simple concept. read more

WINNERS? Bean and cheese and the chicken burrito and potato (tinga) were my favorites. Smashing the burrito in the salsa is yum. It's a very light subtle flavor. Good with or without. I had the todo and I loved just the bean and cheese part. They are all good but I'm talking about favorites. The Beria? Bizarrely weird aftertaste. It tasted like nothing anyone is talking about in the reviews. read more

Come here on a Saturday afternoon while it was busy but it was easy to find seating and the food came out fast. We ordered a birria quesadilla, a birria and deshebrada burrito. The burrito's were so yummy! I loved the tortillas and the birria but the deshebrada was my favorite! I loved the salsa they serve on the side as well. Perfect addition to enhance but not overpowering. The quesadilla was good but so wet that it got everything soggy. Clean restaurant and friendly staff. read more

Burritos La Palma - Burritos! - Mexican Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Burritos La Palma is famous for their flour tortillas, often cited as the best in LA. Their burritos are a smaller than the ones you usually see. Priced at about $5 each, they are long and skinny and come with a side of salsa. You can choose from six different flavors, including birria, chicken tinga and refried beans. I ordered two burritos which was just about right. Their tortillas are nice and soft. The birria was filled with delicious meat, while the tinga is a little on the spicy side. Their salsa is not my favorite - a little on the watery side but adds a little extra something. I'm somewhere between four and five stars but the service here deserves five stars. The staff is so friendly and makes you feel very welcome! Indoor and outdoor seating available. read more

Burritos La Palma - Chicken Tinga - Mexican Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I stopped by for a quick bite and ordered the bean and cheese, birria, and deshebrada burritos. The handmade flour tortillas were soft, chewy, and perfect. The birria and deshebrada were full of flavor, and the bean and cheese was good as well. I ordered way too much, I thought that the burritos were smaller, but I managed to eat a good amount. I would say two is very filling! One thing to note, my friend is pescatarian and couldn't try the salsa since it has meat in it. It would be great if they offered a vegetarian-friendly salsa option so everyone could enjoy. Other than that, the service was quick, the spot was clean, and I'd definitely come back. read more

This is a good little burrito spot. The burritos are actually a little longer than the photos seem to portray. I thought they'd be smaller than they came out. Two filled me up. We tried the birria (had the most meat), chicken tinga (tasted good with the papa), and the frijol con queso. My favorite was honestly the bean and cheese. Reminds me of my great grandma's burritos. Very homey tasting and just.. good. I like how they check in when you're eating there to see if you need additional salsa or anything. Great service. Nice prices. read more

Super excited that I finally got to try those place as I had been seeing it all over social media. I can confirm that it is delicious and somewhere that everyone needs to try if they love authentic Mexican food. The tortillas were handmade and fresh, some of the best tortillas I've ever had. I tried the birria, tinga, and frijol. Surprisingly, my favorite was the frijol con queso, as I usually am driven toward a meat based burrito. The beans were so smooth and flavorful, with a little bit of cheese to give it a little contrast. The tinga and birria were both very juicy and flavorful, I preferred the birria but the Tinga had little potatoes with the chicken which was a nice touch. The burritos were so good I had to go and get a second round. Disclaimer: the burritos are a little smaller than usual, which lets you try various flavors without getting too full. It recommends you eat 2-3 but I ate 4 and could've ate more if I was starving. Will be coming back every time I'm in town! read more

The restroom is tier 1 clean - I would recommend taking a poop there if I needed to.

Delicious! Literally dreaming about the chicken burrito here right now! If they were open late I would be there right now enjoying every bit of it! Small but perfect sized burritos I get 2 and that's the perfect amount!!

I can't wait to get one for lunch tomorrow! Also they have a freezer section of frozen burritos so you can take to a family gathering or just for yourself to keep in your freezer! Yum yum yum! read more

Burritos La Palma - Best burritos in OC - Mexican Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Bean and cheese burritos are such comfort food for me, but this is not that comforting :/ Tortilla helped, filling needs more flavor =============== Friendly and quick service $10ish for two small burritos, good for a snack unless you're sharing The tortilla is my fav since it was flakey when grilled, but it may be as good or a little better than the popular Mexican supermarket on harbor for less quantity. The insides of the burritos are kinda whatever which is sad cuz the menu is small, so you'd think everything yummy, but alas. Bean and cheese needed more flavor, either in salt content or cheese or bean lol Chicken tinga was less smokey and more watery with minimal potato. Salsa is also watery and doesn't pack much flavor. read more

Simple food, extraordinary flavor! La Palma never disappoints. This isn't a sit-down or table service spot--just walk up, order, and enjoy--but the experience is still full of heart. The counter clerk provided excellent service, and we appreciated how the cooks, who are in plain sight, were quick, attentive, and genuinely kind. The staff greeted us with a "Buenos Dias " and wished us well after our meal ... small touches that go a long way. We were pleasantly surprised to find this clean, quite and spacious location open at 10am (unlike the Santa Ana one that opens at 11), which meant we could satisfy our burrito craving even earlier. As a Mexican who has grown up around tortillas and beans (both homemade and from restaurants) I can say these are beyond delicious. It takes the perfect tortilla, beans, and cheese to hit the mark, and La Palma absolutely nails it. Their burritos are always hot, never greasy, and seriously addicting. I'm a small eater now, so 1.5 is my max (lol), but if you've got the appetite, I highly recommend trying every single one on the menu. My go-to favorite is the beans and cheese, with the birria beans and cheese coming in as a close second. Don't miss out on this gem. Authentic, comforting, and consistently excellent! read more

Burritos La Palma - Birria and traditional bean and cheese burrito - Mexican Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

The service was fast and quick, and the lady at the register was nice. There were seats open, and the store was empty on a Saturday afternoon. It was $5 per burrito so kinda of expensive if you're a big eater. I only ate 2 but I was still hungry after and could have gotten 4 lol. The burritos were tasty and the birria was well flavored and juicy. The salsa was amazing, and in my opinion made the burrito way better. I got los todos, birria, and b&c. Would definitely recommend to check this place out, but I don't see myself coming back for a full meal. Good spot for a quick bite. read more

I'd say this is my favorite Mexican spot in the area. I love getting the beans & cheese burrito. The chips & salsa it comes with are a 10/10 and as good as the burritos. I've tried the chicken tinga burritos as well but didn't love the potato pieces. Still good though and my partner loves them. The burritos are pretty small, so you need at least 2-3 of them to make a meal. One of my go-to take out spots read more

I first learned about this place on IG, and I finally got around to trying it. Loooooove this place. I found my new spot for authentic mex food. The tortillas are just to die for. I got the Platillo Especial. It kind of reminded me of enchiladas (see pic for reference). It also somewhat remimded me of Taco Bell burritos if they were Michelin level good. The cheese... the sauce... the birria.. omg so good! The beans were also delish. The whole thing felt very fresh and made with love. I can see why they have so many great reviews. I am going to have to come back & bring others to try it. This is dangerous because it's nearby... gains meal? Haha read more

Burritos La Palma - Platillo Especial - Mexican Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I've been wanting to try Burritos La Palma for years so I was really excited to see I was not only nearby this new Orange County location but that it wasn't packed like I've seen the LA spots can get. I came here with my wife and since they suggested 2-3 burritos per person, we opted to try one of each (I'm glad they did because 1 would not fill you up. You really do need to get at least 2). Being able to run the entire lineup really gave us a perfect taste of the whole restaurant. Right off the bat, the tortillas are fantastic. Some of the best I've ever had. A perfect blend of both bite & chew. The light toast on them from the cooking process blends with the internal fillings to give it a nice little elevation. If they sold just the tortillas, I'd buy a ton & freeze them so I could also elevate my home burrito game. As far as the flavors go, there really weren't any that we absolutely hated. I will say that the chicharron one was both of our least favorite. Maybe I was expecting a more crunchy meat, but the slimey, seemly only steamed meat just gave the burrito a texture that I personally didn't like. Once I took the meat out & just tasted things with the other seasonings, I liked thing much better. I also thought that the bean & cheese burrito wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special. The previously mentioned tortilla was the star of that flavor for sure. Instead, just get the 'con todo' so you get the bean, cheese, and amazingly flavorful birria. That was my second favorite. To me, the star was the chicken & chipotle burrito. It was just amazing. I could've eaten a stack of those. So, in all, 5 out of 6 being delicious is a fantastic average. I need to go back because I heard their quesadillas are also top notch. Interior is warm and inviting. Everything is clean and open. The staff is fantastic. The woman working the register did a great job welcoming us and talking about their style of burritos once we told her it was our first time. In all, Burritos La Palma is a very unassuming grand slam of a burrito spot. If you're in the area, you're doing yourself a disservice by not stopping by. I will absolutely be coming back the next time I'm in Costa Mesa. read more

This place is great if you are a Mexican food purist. Only your choice of meat, and a small garnish of onions or potatoes come in each burrito on a fantastic homemade tortilla. I have always been of the belief that if your meat items can't hold their own without excessive amounts of sauce or side dishes/add-ons, than they are not really that good to begin with. This spot has perfected their meat, most notably, their birria (which is some of the best I have ever had!) to the point that it complements itself. read more

Oh how this restaurant nails burritos for the simplicity of a burrito- love how saucy the birria, queso and frijoles burrito was. The kids loved the queso and frijoles and hubby ordered the birria and chicharron. The chips were delish too, not oily at all! The service was impeccable. We were asked multiple times throughout our meal if we needed anything and loved how clean the whole place was. Loved how there was plenty of seating inside and outside and parking in abundance.
