I love this place best restaurant here. I always get the chimichanga but instead of meat I get beans cheese and rice it's amazing. The staff is really friendly also. read more

Best fish tacos in town. Period.

Tried their combo plate with a chicken enchilada and a chile relleno, it was pretty good. I do think it is definitely overpriced and I ordered to go and they took pretty long to give me my food! read more

Great food and service. The chili verde and enchiladas were so yummy. They also have an array of menu items. I will definitely be coming back to try some other dishes like the Aguachiles! read more

Great service, decent food, and reasonably priced. House salsa has some kick, but was a bit bland. Not sure exactly what type of authenticity El Palmar is aiming for with their food- it just didn't quite have the flair that you expect from Mexican dishes. Maybe they hide their really spicy salsa in the back? I would definitely stop by and try their food again. read more

Best carne asada and Pastor burrito in town. Their tortillas are home made, fresh and amazingly good! Everything is always made to order! With that being said, it does take a very long time to get your food. It is worth the wait, and we always know to order ahead of time!! So if you have the time it's worth the try!!! read more

Definitely had better Mexican food elsewhere. Salsa tasted like Cholula mixed with green chilis. Relleno tasted like a deep fried chili - little cheese in it. On a positive note, the meat enchilada was good. The meat had great flavor, with a hint of chipotle. Doubt I'll go back - will keep trying to find some decen Mexican food in the Lompoc area. read more

I was ready to give this place 5 stars till my entree arrived. My appetizer, tostada especial for $5 was awesome. The tortillas, chips and salsa, and service are good. But my carne fajitas were a letdown for $12. First off the the beef strips you expect on a carne asada fajita were more like beef bits. Second there was no pico or guacamole but instead a bit of lettuce with a tomato on top. read more

Wow. Best crane asada I've ever eaten. I ordered my sopes with chicken, chile verde and asada. They were all good but if you have the choice...go asada. My husband, the chile rellano freak gave his meal a 4 out of 5 read more

Freshest most authentic Mexican menu in town. Very reasonably priced for such excellent food! Everything made fresh to order from the tortillas to the meat and the beans and rice are ridiculously good! I eat here once a week! read more

Good salsa! Decent homemade tortillas, and delicious pastor. Asada was bad - mushy and flavorless (almost tasted boiled). Same for the chicken. I was excited to get fish tacos because of a picture on Yelp. They had the tiniest sliver of fish and weren't tasty at all. It didn't quite set in just how bland everything (except pastor) was until we left. Pretty disappointing, as we felt the need to find a good taco after leaving. Will stick with Flori's from now on. read more

The ONLY thing missing from this place is a SALSA BAR! The salsa they serve has a tomato soupy taste to it, which really doesn't go good on tacos or burritos. I do however love the freshly made tortillas. They are easily the best and most authentic in Lompoc! Fish tacos are excellent and the meats are deliciously seasoned. Overall, I'd easily rate this place 4 stars but not having a salsa bar, for me, makes all the difference. I really hope the restaurant owners read this review and add a salsa bar there in the middle of the restaurant where it's pretty empty. read more

Homemade tortilla was the best tortillas that i have ever had, and Tortas was also nice. Recommend to my friends to go for Tortillas.

Food is good but nothing to call home about. Service was excellent so I'm giving them a 5. I will be back

I would love to get a comment on the food but never received my order. Arrived at 5:55 PM and left at 7:38 PM never receiving our dinner. It wasn't even made as we were leaving. Worse place ever to try and sit down and relax with three hungry kids who have no patience. The waitress was very nice though. Would never waste my time coming to eat here again! read more

Best burritos ever, the tortillas they use are so fresh and yummy! The service is great too.

This place was delicious. The fish tacos were amazing. Love the local feel in this place. And did I mention the tacos?

This place is amazing as authentic as you can get compared to other Mexican food restaurants. It's a great family owned restaurant I always get the chicken wet burrito with green sauce but I recommend the shrimp tacos as well. read more

Actually, not too bad! I didn't know much about it except for driving past it almost every day when I lived in the area. I honestly wish I had known about it prior to my move away, I probably would have frequented more often. I was attending a class at the community college in Lompoc and a group of about 8 of us went for lunch on a Thursday. Going into it, I didn't expect much and I was pretty dang hungry, but I was a bit worried we would be late back to class. Not only were we NOT late, but they made sure to work quickly and bring us our food as it was ready. The portions were generous and the food was solid. I had a wet carne asada burrito and a fish taco. Again, the food good, but not spectacular. I will say that I am spoiled having spent a lot of time in and around Los Angeles eating Mexican food. The staff was really friendly and they wanted to do everything for us, which was awesome. read more

Yum! A great post wine tasting snack. The el pastor, shrimp, and fish tacos were all great. And the house salsa is spicy but good!

Best all-round mex food in town. Sure some dishes are just ok but what Mexican place in town isn't like that? Second best salsa IMHO. The fajitas are awesome! The empanadas are to die for, and come with a green salsa that you can't stop eating!!! read more

I would come back for the fish and carne asada tacos, but the beans and rice were really bland. A friend had a burrito and thought it was mediocre. Fast and friendly service, though. read more

Really delicious (and big) breakfast burrito. Good price. Good horchata. Really friendly service -- accommodated my request to make it vegetarian with no fuss. I don't live in the area, I was up there for work, but if I'm ever back there I'd check this place out again. read more

My favorite Mexican restaurant by far in Lompoc and we have plenty of choices! They have the best homemade tortillas in town and my favorite is the bean and cheese burrito with guacamole inside! They make the guacamole fresh to order everytime and it is perfect! The restaurant isn't really that nice inside, but you can take it to go or just sit and enjoy the yummy food! The shrimp burrito is delicious and huge, you definitley get your moneys worth. read more

we used to love this place, homemade tortillas well seasoned meat, whats not to love? Unfortunately, after their "renovation" which in reality a suspected owner change the service has plummeted! Upon initial walk in the entire kitchen and restaurant was engulfed in smoke, I understand that may happen from time to time with an overly large influx of customers but the place was not terribly packed and really your duct system should able to handle it. we sat down made our order and asked for some more chips, salsa and guacamole. 10 min later we got chips, no salsa nor guac. During this time we saw another table get more chips and salsa who had asked after we had. We notified the girl that we were still waiting...another 10 minutes went by with nothing but another table getting more. 40 minutes had gone by and we had yet to receive our salsa and guacamole nor our food. We had ordered some enchiladas, and two burritos and a taco, im sorry but these items are not heavily complicated dishes and should not take 40 min. In all we were there for about 60 min with three glasses of water one tray of chips and salsa to show for it, even if the food is still good which I have heard is not the case the service and overall restaurant is absolutely horrendous, unfortunately we will not be returning to what once was one of our favorited restaurants. Onward to Florianos! read more

Absolutely my favorite Mexican food in Lompoc ! So delicious, such great service, quick, friendly, and best of SUPER tasty - SO worth the price, and those are even excellent! I have not yet had one thing I haven't liked from the menu. They have my 5 star vote. read more

this restaurant probably just became my go to for mexican food. i finally had something more than just a michelada or shrimp cocktail. i had an asada burrito and i'm super picky with burritos. THE BEST i've ever had by far. the tortillas are homemade and the asada is cooked perfectly and cut nice. would 10/10 recommend going here to eat read more

Wonderful Mexican food! Owners are super nice and hard working. Shrimp tacos are awesome!

no one was in the restaurant, just our table. waitress was new, but no biggie. chimichangas were interesting, as they were open faced, to have the lettuce and stuff in/on it. chille rellano was ok. best thing was the michelada. read more

Great food, except the beans & rice being bland. Considering the small portions, there's plenty of other places that have the same quality of food, but with more for much cheaper. I would recommend getting a burrito, as they're probably the most quantity of food for the price. read more

Love this family and their restaurant. They are always so friendly and the food is always fresh and good. I always get mini burritos(chili verde or pastore) and guacamole. Both are great with the perfect mix of flavors. If you haven't tried El Palmar, you need to go and support this local family restaurant. read more

I'm from an Island that most of my meals gets I prepared at home. One evening I walked in and ordered 42.00 worth of food for a change. The young lady who served me my orders assured me that I would like it. She was awesome- the food was absolutely wonderful! Thank you! read more
