    Garlic shrimp, white rice, double tostones
    Tonya C.

    As always - dinner was delicious!! Fresh crispy tostones - - juicy roasted chicken - - the BEST flavorful and fluffy white rice around!!

    If you know, you know! Just in case you don't..here's my review! This was a first time visit, the customer service was good and answered my questions with a smile. I ordered shrimp Mofongo which was good. The restaurant was clean. Overall, good but not wowed. Still would return to try a different dish.

    A carribean vibe and a solid Dominican restaurant. A staple in the Greensboro area. Been here plenty of times and they never miss. Stay busy but move fast and courteous. Highly recommend!

    I'm Dominican and I can say whole heartedly that this is as authentic as it gets. Everything from the chicken to the Los Tres Golpes brings me back to what we ate in the DR, and my Abuela's cooking. It's delicious and full of flavor and if you're looking for Caribbean flavors you've got to check this place out!

    Mofongo, chunks of pork and side salad
    Tamara A.

    We have been looking for some good Mofongo and we have found it. Combo has very good mofongo, chunks pork with a side salad. Many Spanish dishes to choose from as well as drinks. They have sitting area or to go. Service was fast and you will be greeted with a smile. Great price for a lot of food. Sitting area is comfortable and pleasant. Yes we do recommend this location for some good Spanish Food

    Front counter to order at.

    Great food for the price. Costumer service is wonderful here too, great people too. Dominican rep. is a nice country to visit.

    Tostones

    Food for the soul! I love eating at La Palma. Hands down the best tostones in Greensboro! They are crunchy, large, and golden fried perfection. The ambience is pure Dominican culture from the moment you enter the restaurant. The employees are bilingual and extremely friendly! They have delicious daily specials and a large menu. I have eaten here several times and am never let down. My last visit there, I ordered the Mofongo con Chicharron de Cerdo (fried pork belly). The mofongo is garlicky, buttery, goodness. The fried pork belly, crispy on the outside, is a flavor explosion, while the crunchy side salad and secret vinaigrette add a refreshing touch to the dish.

    Pernil with tostones and white rice
    Shakeyla R.

    Absolute favorite place to eat! The staff is so kind and friendly they feel like family at this point. There's literally nothing I've tasted from here that is bad-nothing. My favorite item is the roasted pernil platter. It comes with rice and beans. My favorite is the rice and pigeon peas but it's not always available. Anytime you can get the yellow rice, definitely do. If I don't get those I get the white rice and pintos which are equally good. It comes with a side salad but I normally swap it out for another. Like I said everything is good-my favorite is the tostones but the plantains, mac and cheese, and roasted yucca. I'm getting hungry all over again thinking about it. You seriously can't go wrong with anything on the menu. It's also one of the few restaurants in Greensboro that still had the option to dine in. The patrons are always friendly and like I mentioned it just feels like home. Great establishment, great food, and great staff.

    Bollito de yuca
    Yolanda T.

    Outstanding Cuban sandwich with sweet plantains and the yuca beef bollitos were awesome. Food was ready when I picked it up and still hot and fresh! Great family friendly atmosphere with wonderful service!

    Teresa T.

    All I have to say is the beef empanada and mango juice didn't make it home with the take out order! You know it's good when you can't wait until you get home. Flaky, hot(temp), crispy, savory, sweet and salty with the addition of ketchupmayo paired with the cold, sweet mango juice!! Yum!!!!

    Empanada
    Lauren H.

    Came for a light snack and I'll certainly be back. Today I tried the Bollitos de Papa (cheese) and the Empanada (chicken). The potato ball was delicious... mashed potatoes formed around cheese then deep fried... it doesn't get much better than that. The empanada was great but mine was a big air pocket with only a tiny bit of filling. However what I did get was delicious and that means I just need to go back and try again!

    Delicious authentic food. Relaxed ambiance…read more Good service. No complaints. Large portions, too!

    "Delicious Honduran food just south of I-85 on Guess Rd in Durham"…read more Came here on a Saturday evening a little after 6pm-- this is the building that used to be "Pad Thai" a few years ago. There's parking out front, but not a ton, and a bit more along the side. Inside, there's a counter by the door with a register and mints (and probably where one would pickup takeout), but you wait to get seated. The place was bright with interesting Central American paintings and lively music. A few tables were taken but it was hardly what I'd call "busy". I ordered the Tajada con carne molida (fried plantains with ground beef) off the "Honduran menu". My dining partner had a creamy chicken mofongo. We also had Jarritos sodas-- I got the pineapple and she had the tamarind. One awkwardness was that the menu didn't have any prices, but I assumed (correctly) that nothing would be crazy expensive that we ordered (though weirdly the tamarind and pineapple Jarritos were different prices). Service was good-- although English was a second language, our server made do, accurately took our order, and was attentive. As other reviewers noted, this is not a speedy place-- I think it was at or maybe over 20 minutes to get our food, but that was fine. Both dishes were really good. The creamy sauce on the mofongo was to-die-for... so yummy. And I enjoyed my plantain/ beef dish-- my dining partner said it was somewhat analogous to "nachos" in a funny way, and she's not wrong. The plantains were pretty stiff-- almost like plantain chips, but still yummy, and the beef and accompaniments were excellent (see photo). The quantity was HUGE-- both of us had enough easily for a second meal. Price wasn't bad-- with the drinks and tax and tip, it was slightly over $50 total. Overall, I'm very happy we tried this place, and I have every intention of coming back.
