    If you're looking for authentic, homemade Mexican food that truly hits the spot--La Palma is it! I ordered takeout for my family, and every single person was impressed--it was so good! The flavors are rich, comforting, and absolutely worth the visit. And on top of that, the owners are some of the kindest people you'll ever meet--so sweet and generous. They even gave us a little extra, which just shows how much they care about their customers. Affordable, delicious, and made with heart-- La Palma is a true hidden gem. Highly recommend supporting this amazing small business!

    My son and I were passing by and saw this place. So we decided to stop and check it out. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by the beautiful people within the establishment. The food is amazing and people are very hospitable!

    Driven by this place for 25 years. I'm glad I stopped today! Placed was packed, food was excellent. and I loved it!

    Parking lot

    This restaurant has two locations and I personally like this location the best. This place has a more traditional family vibe felt like I was home with my Tia's, mother and abuela in the kitchen. The service is amazing and food is delicious. The other location was to corporate and extremely rude and unprofessional. The only downside is this place is cash only and the seating is limited inside. Get your cash ready prior to arriving. The parking is dirt so when it's windy expect dust or raining expect mud but very spacious even for even trucker to park. This place tends to get busy so be prepared to wait; worth it! This building looks like a shack and a bit run down but this is definitely a diamond in the rough. They serve homemade tortillas and let me say it was definitely delicious. Bet you can't just order one serving? 3 nice size tortillas per serving very authentic Mexican food, reminded me of Aguascalientes, Mexico. I would honestly say if going off the various recommendations of either for or against this place to each their own. I personally recommend based off my the family experiences who have been coming here for years and current visit. I would say come in and try it for yourself it's definitely worth it. Lots of recommendations everyone commenting can be be valid and some nitpicking. Either way I hope the owners capitalize on some of these recommendations e.g. placing an ATM here more money for the business as customers might not to return and risk finding another place to dine.

    Menudo

    As usual the service and food are Excellent!!! The homestead feeling of warmth and good vibes are like no other ! Thank you Lucy once again! We love you and your family. Blessings

    The family and I were in the mood to try a new place, and we were hoping to not have a 45 minute…read morewait (sorry other place... a special-needs Son, who's hungry, is NO place you want to be after even a 20-minute wait... no matter how good the seafood cocktails are). That being said, Super-Wifey spotted this small but nice place on Yelp, and it was literally across the street! And with good reviews! Hit 'D' for Drive, Dad. And, there was no wait! Their menu is not too terribly extensive at first glance, as compared to some places, but that's not a bad thing as they have most of the go-to dishes covered after reading through. I usually get a carne asada burrito in a new place, or carnitas tacos. You know, the required staples. If a place can do those well then you're in good hands. The Mexican food litmus test. Well, everything we tried had loads of flavor... fresh tasting, not too salty, just spot-on. The offspring had the chicken nachos and also the quesadilla with shredded chicken. They looked great-on-the-plate which is always a good sign, right..? Wifey had the taco combo plate, and these were main-dish taco's, not the smaller street taco's (which I think they have also), and she was all thumbs up. I had a carne asada burrito mojado (wet) with 1/2 red, 1/2 green sauce, which tasted great... lots of flavor, a bit of spice on the red sauce (not too caliente, thanks) and the green sauce was very good, with lots of fresh tomatillo flavor. And I had a half pineapple/half tamarindo combo drink that was so fruity. First time on that flavor mix. And I'm guessing here, but I think they are a family business, and a very nice family indeed. The best places often are, it seems. They do take-out orders as well, and we're going to be ringing them up the next time a Mexican food craving hits us. There are a LOT of great Central and South American places in our local area to choose from; Mexican, Salvadoran, grilled Pollo (and NOT the crazy chicken place, thank you...) and Seafood specialists, take your choice. But these Folks hit the Comfort Food button spot-on. Next time I'll try the carnitas and will report back. Great Job..! See you soon..!

It's nice to find a place that can be consistent! I had chilaquiles today, with carne asada. I tried it with half red and half green, both sauces were delish! And my steak was so juicy and flavorful. Oh, and the cafe de olla was the cherry on top

The food quality is spectacular! I always get the Baracoa Cubano sandwich and it never disappoints. The ingredients are fresh and organic with each dish I've ordered. Since I have allergies to ingredients used to preserve frozen food, it's always been so hard finding a restaurant with a menu that doesn't cause me issues--and Baracoa has never compromised with their ingredients! The organic quality of their food is something you'll taste on your first bite. And finally--the service is impeccable and I have yet to see such excellent hospitality at any restaurant I've visited, even in Los Angeles! The waiters are always kind, attentive, and energetic with their behavior and service. It's very easy to tell they love the work they do and it shows in their work ethic. In addition to that, the managers are always making sure we're having an excellent night and have transformed it to a level of service we've never seen! My parents and I went a week ago and talked to Daniel the Manager about how much we missed a Piña Colada from a closed restaurant which would make it in the pineapple itself--and he said if we promised to be there in a week he's make it himself. We came on Friday, and the joy that my family felt was palpable when Daniel came out with the drinks we've wished for years now since that restaurant closed! Honestly, I've never heard of someone caring for their guests so much to do that--truly everyone should visit this establishment and experience true fine dining. I don't think I'll ever eat anywhere else for a special occasion ever again.

It is all made to perfection and there is not one thing we don't love. For about $32 dollars you can get Havana Bites, it is a taste of some of their great items. It comes with Beef & Chicken Empanadas, Papas Rellenas, Platanos Fritos and Yuca Frita all served with Rico Sauce, which is so great. All of their empanadas are great and you can get just one or a bunch. We often get some to take home. The Papas Rellenas is so good and so nicely priced. It is two mashed potato balls stuffed with Cuban picadillo, then breaded and fried to perfection. I love potatoes so I love to get this. We also take these home. They heat up so well. The service is great and they are very friendly. Parking is easy and there is not usually a wait. I am not sure if they take reservations, so call them and check. The place is comfortable and pretty.
