This is the BEST Mexican food ever! We stopped here after reading some of the great reviews and were not disappointed. Mexican food is definitely my favorite type of food and this has to be one of best places I've been to. My mother in law ate a CHILE RELLENO & TOSTADA, my husband had the burrito verde, and I had the POLLO A LA DIABLA! Wished we lived closer to eat again and try more things in the menu! read more

They serve amazing Mexican food ! I cannot say about the authenticity of the food but what I got there was incredible. I had their special for the day which was birria and guacamole. They were delicious! I'm a bit sad that they serve a huge portion of guacamole instead of an appetizer/smaller portion (hence, a 4 stars instead of 5). I love the decor, they have a nice patio seatings. The service is standard for takeout & eat in kind of place but the staffs are super friendly. Overall, I highly recommend this place if you find yourself in Red Lodge MT! read more

Delicious Lunch definitely a good choice!! The Chimichangas and enchiladas were great! A very satisfying experience.

This use to be so good. But the last year it has gone Bad. Tacos ( beef) were so oily you literally couldn't pick it up without falling apart and getting reddish oil everywhere. Other tacos ( carne asada) was super dry and tasteless as tho the meat was rewarmed many times. No salsa. No sour cream. No cheese. Beans cold and rice dry. It was like it was four days ago leftovers. We won't be back again. Too bad. Use to be fresh and delicious. The beef was never an oily mess before. And 45$ for two plates ( paper) if three very small mushy and or dry tacos. Very yucky. read more

Great food that's affordable. Looking forward to going back while we're visiting Red Lodge. read more

We were hungry for Mexican and a friend recommended this place. I understand there is also one in Billings. I will surely give that one a try as well! Sister had a burrito and I had a carnitas enchilada and a Chile relleno. The food was delicious! Service was fast and super friendly. We finished with the churros which were excellent and actually had a yummy cream inside. So darn decadent!!! Ambiance was really low key vibe with simple decor. Long tables inside but we sat on the patio out front. Delightful!! read more

Great food and fast service. The portions are large and really you could share a meal.

Sooo yummy! We ordered the carnitas plate and quesabirria and they were both delicious. Fast service! read more

Casual excellence Best carnitas burrito in ages. I mean really good. Pork absolutely tasty, with combo of crispy and falling apart doneness, with fine seasoning. Mixed with rice and beans in a flour tortilla. Jarritos soda and you gotcha yourself a real fine meal at a fair price. Highly recommended. read more

This place was delicious! Authentic Mexican food with a fun small atmosphere! We had a large group they accommodated with ease and were very friendly! Will definitely go back! read more

Fine dining on paper plates with plastic cutlery. Our mixed Montanan & Arizonan family stopped here for a late lunch. The service was GREAT & friendly too. Their carne asada tacos, shrimp in cream sauce, shredded beef enchiladas & fajitas were all surprisingly excellent. Expertly prepared. Being of the Arizona contingent our expectations for Montana Mexican resturants is pretty low. That said GO, just go and eat here! You will not regret it....unless you gulp the entire cup of HOT sauce in 1 shot. read more

Stopped in late on a Wednesday evening, thinking they were open until 9 pm (thanks, Yelp!), but the sign on the door said 8 pm. Despite that, they were so kind and stayed open to take my to-go order. The food was absolutely delicious, and the portions were generous. I highly recommend this place! read more

Being married into a Mexican family of cooks from Yucatan and Los Angeles we were not expecting great things from a Mexican restaurant in such a small town in Montana. Our guide on a horseback ride that morning recommended we stop here for lunch. We were pleasantly surprised! A gem of an eatery for such a non-Hispanic area...tacos were very good, and salsa was too. So happy the guide recommended this spot! read more

Good food, nice flavors, and good portions! Yelp lists it as a food truck, but it is now a restaurant. The location has also moved a few blocks. They have a lot of outdoor seating. read more

Not sure if the name and location changed. We stopped at 304 Broadway Ave N, Red Lodge, MT for lunch during our road trip. (location Kitty corner from Beartooth Market) We are from San Diego, CA and the food here was phenomenal...it easily rivaled any of the best taco chops we have in San Diego. Easy 5 stars. read more

Amazing, authentic Mexican food! Generous portions for the price! Highly recommend going here!

Surprisingly legit tacos in Red Lodge! We were really glad to have stumbled upon this little spot while staring at the Yodeler.

Epic food! We were walking by and the smells wafting from this place stopped us in our tracks. The staff was extremely helpful in choosing 2 spicy dishes. I chose #32 pollo a la Diablo. It was fabulous. Not too spicy, but great flavor. My husband got #21 Camarones a la Diablo. He loved his as well. We ordered inside and sat outside to eat. Very nice patio. Everything on the plate was top notch, from the beans to the rice to the main dish. read more

Great authentic Mexican goodness! Large dishes and lots of food! The people are nice and they have Mexican colas!

We absolutely loved out Pork Carnitas plate ($13.99). The meat was cooked how we like it...a little crispy, highly seasoned, and tender. Rice, beans, salsa, salad, and corn tortillas did not disappoint. Owner came to our table 3 times to check on us. Decor is standard Mexican style. Bathrooms were fine, no issues. We'll be back again and recommend to our friends too. Nice place to bring out of town guests. read more

Las Palmitas - Pork Carnitas plate - Mexican Near Me - Red Lodge, Montana

This place is legit. Best food you will ever eat from a bus. - Carnitas are flavored well with a slight crisp to the edges. - Hot sauce is fantastic. - honestly, everything tasted authentic Mexican (flavorful beans and rice, meats are flavored with great juices that soak into your tortillas, etc). We liked the one in Red Lodge so much that we also ate at the one in West Yellowstone. Apparently they are all run by members of the same family who are using traditional Mexican recipies. read more

Las Palmitas - Seriously - this is the place. - Mexican Near Me - Red Lodge, Montana

Wow This is an experience. Found through yelp (THANKS!!) - this small food truck (bus) in Red Lodge, MT was a welcome sight. I had just crossed the mountain, a harrowing trip with hairpin turns and views that were amazing, but very far down, and was so happy to stop for a bite. Located in a bus, you walk in and to the end, where there is a grill and food area. There were two men working the day I was there, acted like owners, but I did not ask, both Mexican I think. I had three tacos, the small kind, one chicken, one steak and one pork (not to be confused with one bourbon, one scotch, one beer), covering all bases. I actually ordered two first, then after I ate those and realized how good they were, and how small, I got a third. Each of those is 1.50. The rest of the menu is typical Mexican, and while it all looked and smelled great, I stuck with the tacos. There were burritoes, tacos, and more, plate meals for all as well, which include beans and the like. The guys were super friendly to me. They have both indoor and outdoor seating here as well. I went outside, it was nice weather, but others stayed inside, with the AC. While I can't say I would come to Montana just to visit this bus again, I can say that if I'm ever in Montana again, I would make it a point to try to get here. read more

Las Palmitas - It's really a bus. But walk in and it's great food. - Mexican Near Me - Red Lodge, Montana

1st time visiting Red Lodge and had a craving for Mexican food. Read a few good reviews about this place so decided to stop. I looked at the menu online and asked the cashier (young, dark hair, w/ glasses) if the menu was the same. She said "Yes." I asked for the #48 (3 sopes) and was told abruptly, "We don't have that." I was bummed! So I chose something else to my dismay. I then asked if they have the churros I saw on the menu and again, was met with "We don't have those." The inside was stuffy and hot. They had this industrial sized fan to cool off the outdated and worn dine in area! The cashier was rude, the order took 25 minutes, there were flies all over, and the food was bland! Hey Las Palmitas, update your menu and hire better staff! I will not return! read more

Food was great! Probably the best was the quesadilla, but everything was delicious, great portions, nice presentation and just savory. It is clean and quaint atmosphere - we sat outside. Food was ready quickly and the order was perfect. Just loved it! read more

The Tacos weren't bad. In fact, the pork Tacos were one of the best I've had but the asada was... mediocre at best. The reason for the low rating is that even though I said no cilantro twice, they still had cilantro all over my taco that I had to hand-pick them out and they just closed for an entire week without notice to go operate their second business in billings... If you can't operate both businesses..... Maybe you should just concentrate on one location?? read more

Great little spot! Friendly staff serves what I would call authentic Mexican food (not texmex). Good portion size and reasonable prices -- I'll be back! read more

Good food, good prices, good portions, food came quick, cute little place. Not to compare but yeah, this is the superior Mexican place in town. read more

Loved stopping in here a few times while we were visiting from out of town. Food was amazing! Also, no wait, plenty of tables, and great staff! read more

Great street tacos lots of flavor! My husband loved his carne asada as well! The salsa had some kick to it - loved it

Yum! Amazing Mexican food- the hot sauce is hot! Beware of that but the flavor is so good. Good seafood which is hard to find. I loved it.

Most authentic Mexican food in the entire state. So good, so fresh, you will leave so happy if you come here. The music, the staff, the FOOD. Basically, you have to come here if you're in town. You will not be disappointed! Also: GET. THE. CARNITAS!! read more

Best pork tacos I've ever had. Tender and juicy inside and crunchy on the outside. Look no further!

Didn't expect to find great mex in Red Lodge Montana, but this place is awesome! Probably the best mex in the state

I really, really like this place. The food is very flavorful, veggies are always well done, not too greasy, very reasonably priced, and the portions are huge. The restaurant itself is small and nice, red & white gingham pattern everywhere, comfy booths. Would recommend. read more

Had heard from neighbors that this was a good place. Driving through Red Lodge after a 12 mile hike and decided to stop and see. The carnitas were the best I've ever had: flavor, texture, everything! My husband agreed. Food is fresh, salsa was outstanding and the pickled veggies a delicious surprise! This is a small place for dine-in, but we noticed they have a booming take-out business. We'll be driving from Billings just to dine here! read more

Oh my goodness! Now that was a fantastic meal.! It was like eating at someone's house. Someone who can COOK! My husband and I had a burrito, chili relleno, and a tamale. Fan-freakin-tastic! If you're ever in Red Lodge Montana, this is a must try spot. The staff is excellent and very personable. Now I've got to walk off my sleepy stuffed belly. Thank you for a fabulous meal Las Palmitas! read more
