Made me feel at home and had great recommendations. Also the bartender Sidney was so nice and very efficient as well.

The service here is top tier and it's the reason why I'll be coming back again.

I tried the steak fajitas, it was pretty tender and nicely seasoned. Came with tortillas, black beans, mexican rice, veggies, and a lot of avocado. The carnitas was juicy and pretty soft. Elote corn had a good smokiness to it but it was a bit too spicy, and they put too much mayo in that. Chicken tortilla soup was too salty. Besides that, decent experience. Service was good here, they even have a photographer that comes around to take pictures (pictures are additionally purchased).

We visited for brunch on a Sunday afternoon around 12-12:30 pm and it was pleasantly NOT crowded!…read more You need to get a ticket for parking and the restaurant will validate it. We were happy to be seated right away at a large table in the bar area. I didn't realize that they had an all-you-can eat type buffet set-up, as well as unlimited mimosas (already included in the price for Adult brunch, no opt-out option). The food selections were plentiful and varied. There was a coffee station with sweet breads, lots of main dishes like meats/sauces/rice/beans, a carving station, omelet station, menudo and pozole, salads, and desserts including a chocolate fountain as well as vanilla ice cream. Unfortunately, mom mom got the menudo and it was more on the cold side than hot so she asked our server to microwave it and he did that right away. We got several items to try like the chile relleno, the enchiladas and all was luke warm at best. That was so disappointing, so one of our party spoke to the Manager about it and she worked right away to address this. She even brought out individual items from the back (although those were cold too!!). As the team refilled the food containers, the food was more hot and fresh and we absolutely appreciated them making sure the food was better. I thought the pozole was excellent, so flavorful and light. The dessert were delish! The rice, the flan, the cream with berries it was all too good. I tried some meat dishes and those were great, as well as the refried black beans. Once we were done, the awesome Manager came by to apologize and rectify the situation and we were very pleased with the turnout. We will definitely come back because the team here goes out of their way to make sure customers are happy!!

The chips and salsa were really good. The aguachile had a nice spicy flavor that made it stand out. The queso fundido was SO good super cheesy, and paired with the handmade tortillas it was one of my favorites. We also ordered the calamari and I was surprised by how good it was. Everyone ordered different rounds of cocktails throughout the night and honestly, not one missed. Service was a little slow, but it was a busy Friday night, so that's somewhat expected. I've been here before and the grilled octopus tacos and carne asada burrito were just as good as I remembered them. They also made the birthday celebration really cute. They sang happy birthday, brought out a small ice cream, and gave my friend a big mariachi hat. Good food, great drinks, and still consistent as I remembered it. So long Playa Mesa. 9.5/10

The hostess was friendly, and our server was funny and kind. He was a little less attentive as it got busier, but the staff worked well as a team, so we never had to wait for refills or anything we needed. Parking in the back can be a little tight. The birria tacos were packed with flavor, and I loved the inside-out cheese crust. My husband's fajitas were flavorful, although the chicken was a little overdone. The guacamole was excellent, especially with the pepita seeds adding great texture. Overall, we enjoyed the flavorful food, service, and atmosphere. We'd definitely come back!

The chips and salsa were divine, I do wish they came in larger bowls though because we would demolish it super quickly lol. :) For drinks, we ordered the cadillac marg and coconut marg.

To eat, we ordered the Rosa Combination plate, the Caesar salad with chicken, and the Veggie Burrito. Everything was good, not phenomenal, but definitely great portion sizes. We had plenty of leftovers after so you can definitely split items! Overall, a solid choice for Mexican food near Irvine :)

Dare I say I prefer this place over Javier's??…read more Okay okay I came here on a whim with a girlfriend and Palmilla fully exceeded our expectations. We did not have a reservation but we were able to sit at the bar, and eventually we moved to the center communal table. Honestly, I would prefer to sit there than at a private table! You are so in the mix of the whole restaurant, great place to be social. To drink I had a skinny margarita with raspberries added and my friend had the orangutan (espresso martini). My drink was SO good and SO cute. I am being serious when I say after I ordered it, the entire communal table got it too. I love that instead of chips and salsa they bring you fresh, hot tortillas with salsas and HONEY BUTTER?? to dip them in. This was so yummy and definitely unique to Palmilla. We ordered the guacamole, combo plate with a cheese enchiladas and crispy beef taco, and the filet mignon tacos. The only thing I might skip is the guac but thats just knit picking because everything else was so good. The ambiance of this place is beautiful. Think boujee beach bar in Tulum with a natural pallet and foliage. Every member of staff we met was also a 10/10! I'll be back!

The Raza box ($25) and monster box ($35) are my usual go to menu items, as they have an assortment of tacos and quesadilla. The taco is made with one corn tortilla that seems to have been dipped in consome beforehand and have a good amount of cheese and birria ratio. The quesadilla is packed with birria meat and the consome is the perfect pairing for all the items. I've seen specials occasionally on Instagram so it's worth to follow their page to get updates on their food truck status. Their location recently changed and it's in a not so convenient part of the business park, but the food is still great and their communication with customers should help with any new updates. I also recommend the green salsa, it has a slight kick and great flavor!

We still make it over here occasionally because we really love the outdoor seating, and Tony always makes the experience worth the trip. Tony remembers us and always makes us feel extra special when we're there. He knows we love extra salsa with our chips, so instead of making us ask for refills over and over, he brings us our own little bowl of salsa. It's a small thing, but that kind of attention really stands out. He's also just a funny guy and always makes our date nights a little more enjoyable. We ordered our usual chicken al pastor and filet mignon tacos, along with sides of rice and beans. Everything was delicious as usual. Puesto is also a great value when you keep it simple with tacos, chips, and sides. Definitely check out the Los Olivos location if you're in the area, especially if you can grab a spot outside. And if you get Tony as your server, you're in good hands!
