Place has gone downhill a lot these past couple years. My corn was cold and hard, the ingredients were non quality, a family of 13 was behind me but somehow they let them cut in line in front of me (1 person) I spoke up and said I was here first and then they took my order first. I have no idea why they decided to ignore me when I was standing right there clear as day that I was first. read more

Great location, was very busy but in a good way. That means their business is going well. Ordered a champyada and had the perfect amount of sweetness. The elote was alright but overall a solid place to come back. read more

Attitude central here ... food is good but customer service is so bad. I arrived tonight and the cashier just stared at me like I'm stupid . I asked if I can order because she was just dogging me . She said "Que quieres" just straight dogged me the entire time I was ordering. I wanted more items but I felt awkward to keep ordering like I was bothering her for being a customer . You should check with your night staff and their attitudes read more

My raspado flavor was tamarindo. The syrup was old and flavor less. It tasted like sugared ice. Tostilocos were just dimpled without any care. Just crumbled chips on top of the stuff they put. The salsa was awful tasting also. Threw it all away. read more

This place is filthy. There was a dead cockroach skeleton on the floor directly in front of the order counter. That alone is unacceptable, but it didn't stop there. The tables were dirty, the space was poorly maintained, and the overall environment was unsanitary. No food business should operate like this. The B health grade is not surprising. Do not eat here unless they clean this place up completely you have been warned. read more

So so disappointed with my order today! I understand coming in 20-30 minutes before you close is an inconvenience for some places but I had been craving fresas con crema at work all day! And to finally get them and be disappointed enough to write a review, it's frustrating. I spent $28 on a large fresas con crema, a jamaica and a coco fruit. NOT WORTH THE QUALITY of either one!! I DO NOT mind spending the money when it's worth it and this was NOT! Also, I've ordered the granola, raisins and coco on the side and never had I gotten them together in ONE bag?? they're usually separated. The strawberries were so soggy and i had more crema than strawberries. I couldn't even finish it. Smh. read more

As always Las Palmitas locations are always consistently good. They have great prices. The portions are fantastic and the food and drinks are always great. I did notice this location was dirty. You can find parking behind the building and street parking in the front. When we arrived there was a line. It moved fast. Note, there's a .75 cent charge to use your card, so bring cash when you come. read more

This place needs new management asap. Fruit is old food smells weird & customer service is terrible and to make it even worst HEALT DEPARTMENT GAVE THEM A LETTER "B" read more

I have not been here in years, [[HIGHLIGHT]]I actually hate coming here the energy in this place creates stress for me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Some workers are a little rude and others are just trying to get the lunch rush over and done with. But the boy wants esquite so the Boy will get esquite, you can get a small for five dollars or a large one for $.75 more you can get it cocido or asado. I Really dislike that they charge $.75 to use your debit card really really dislike it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is a weekday around 1 pm and it's very crowded[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. They offer three types of tortas that actually look good on picture maybe next time I'll try one. You can order a juice, licuado, smoothie, mangonada or diablito. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The counters are sticky which is understandable they're pumping these drinks and smoothies out nonstop.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There is parking in the back so you don't have to park on Florence ave If you order a couple items it does not always come out together. I'm noticing several ordered coming out and people still waiting to complete their order. I'd rather continue going to La Michoacana. read more

When I went it was packed but the Service was very quick and efficient . The food was prepared well and had lots of flavor, I ordered the esquite and agua de horchata , they were both delicious. Would recommend 10/10 read more

The lady making the raspados touched the food items with gloves. She touched the ice with her hand and the gloves are next to her but doesn't use them. I'm sure any place that serves food needs to wear gloves. read more

This place is delicious and so fairly priced. Their tortas de milanesa are amazing! I often crave them. The aguas are perfectly made. The customer service is pleasant. I try to come here every chance I get read more

Good customer service means fixing mistakes quickly and fairly, unfortunately, that's not what happened here. I've been coming to Las Palmitas for over 10 years, and on 9/12/25 I pre-ordered my lunch as usual, a torta de milanesa during my 1 hour lunch, but when I got home my order was wrong. I decided to call and there cashier, Susana, confirmed she entered it correctly, so the mistake came from the kitchen. When she checked with the manager on duty, Araceli, I was left on the line and then told that the manager said I had to drive back and return the torta I had already bitten into just to get the correct one. That makes no sense and wastes the customer's time. After 10 years of loyalty, I expected better. Management should rethink how they handle situations like this. Extremely disappointed. read more

This place sucks don't waste your money. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside looks dirty and the fruit is old and some pieces have slime on them.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The raspado I got tasted like straight up syrup of some kind couldn't even tell the flavor. And the tamales are super bland. read more

What can I say -- everything at Palmitas is a good treat. Palmitas never disappoints. I always stop by when I'm in the area because I definitely have a sweet tooth. Fresh fruit, great flavors, and it always hits the spot. Highly recommend if you're craving something sweet and refreshing. read more

I visited the Downey location to purchase some corn on the cob. The transaction was assisted by a short, stout (chubby) male employee. On that day, he was the only male staff member present, as the remaining staff were female. My mother had specified how she wanted her corn prepared. However, the employee disregarded her instructions and was observed laughing with the cashier. He made a comment that made my mom feel extremely offended. She felt sexually harassed by his comment. His words were, "si lo quiere duro, que venga y yo se lo doy duro". What type of employee comments with the rest of the females and laughs? He literally touched his front and said, "Yo se lo doy duro." I told my mom I'm going to tell him off. She said, "No, leave it like that. We come here often, and plus, they're not going to do anything." Your employee need to get proper training that such comment it is considered sexual harassment. read more

If I had the chance to give 0 starts I would. I been craving stuff like this place would offer but poor customer services always makes me not wanting to come. I went on a Friday after work excited to meet my husband and baby to have some yummy food but again I get disappointed on the customer service. People are terrible at helping out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Then it was time to sit my baby on a high chair again terrible chairs. All broken and dangerous.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] To be frank I think the chances of going back are none. I rather drive to east LA. read more

rude customer service, ALL the ladies treat u like ur a piece of trash. I went today on Mother's Day and i understand there's a lot of customer but there is no need to treat ur PAYING customers like that. The food was mid. Not sure if the worker was having a bad day or something but talk about self control. She was screaming at everyone. read more

Cane in here today to order some strawberries with whipped cream and asked for everything separate. They said no problem and took my order. When they called me up everything was mixed in together ever though I asked for it all separate. They lied to my face saying it wasn't a problem and then made it the way they wanted. What service ever. read more

They are known for their fruit which is great and I like a lot. But, you should try a torta de pierna or lomo. It's a simple torta but there is something that they do that makes them one of the tastiest tortas anywhere. They're not huge but they make up for it in flavor. Delicious. The employees are very friendly and polite. I have never had a bad service experience. The place is small but it is always clean and well maintained. I can't wait to back and try the rest of their menu. read more

Best Mangolia & practically any smoothie of theirs is very good natural fruits , water base ice cream

The prices are beyond reasonable and their food fruit snacks and Jell-O are very delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service tends to be a little slow, but there's plenty of room to sit and televisions for you to enjoy whatever game is showing while you wait for your order.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I came in Saturday morning at 945am, place was empty, I was the only one in line, yet my order was not taken immediately nor was my presence acknowledged. After I placed my order, something simple, small esquite and 2 scoops of ice cream, keep in mind I was still the only customer, I waited over 10 minutes for my order. My order was sort of just thrown on the pick up counter, once again, no acknowledgement, no thank you, nor have a nice day. Horrible customer service. It's been a while since I last came here, however, I don't recall the customer service being this way. Employees need to remember that without customers they don't have a job. Not sure if I'll be returning. There are several other locations with the exact same items on the menu with employees who prioritize customer service. read more

Menu selection and food is good. However, customer service is horrible. Rude negative energy from employees ruin a good place. There was a woman in early 20s with red lipstick working early Sunday 6/1/25 that provided laughable customer service. We were polite the entire interaction since it's not that serious, but I don't think she likes working there. Owner should consider the damage she does to his/her business, would not recommend. La michoacanas near by have better customer service with most of the same menu options. read more

This was one of my favorite places to come, it's always packed but this time I came was the only time I needed them to fix something for me, the lady who helped me was so mad that she gave me my esquire with almost nothing in it. So if you come here, as long as you don't need them to do something else or ask for changes then you'll be fine. If you do, I suggest you don't just keep your order however they have it to you. They don't treat right customers if you need something from them. Hopefully next time, it'll get better, I will still try but not anytime soon. I had a bitter taste to it in my food read more

I love this place. Everything is so fresh. The fruit is cut when you order it so it taste delicious. The tortas are loaded with meat and cheese. They have different types so if you like chicken beef ham or a veggie torta, it's made to order. Their fruit drinks are very delicious and you can actually taste the fruit and they are not sugary like other places. I highly recommend this place. read more

Lots of snack options, perfect for any hot day! Raspados are $5-$6 and are a decent size. In my opinion Can sometimes be a little sweet. Fried chips, ice cream, and tortas are good food options. Went in today and ordered a corn, was told they were out and only had esquites. So I ordered an esquite. My cousin placed an order after me yet was able to order a corn on the Cobb.....?? I ordered the esquite with lemon and a little bit of salt, the salt was over powering and not edible. read more

This place is awesome if you want a well priced sandwich (torta) to eat. The ice cream & their waters are pretty bomb too. The service is quick especially if you order on the phone. read more

very overpriced for terrible quality in food and in customer service. not welcoming attitude from the cashier

Cash only. Really was wanting to try some snacks here and Drove over 30 min to this location and they only take cash and turned away. Just a business perspective, if you're equipment isn't working have zelle or Venmo options available because very little people carry cash. read more
