Finding a parking spot was a bit of a mission, I almost parked right in front but didn't want to block anyone, so I snagged a spot further back. When I went in, the horchata de cafe caught my eye it sounded amazing! It was good, but honestly, a little pricey for what it was. The Birria queca, though? Totally worth it! I also grabbed a steak taco, a chorizo taco, and an al pastor taco all decent, but again, the prices were a little higher than I expected. I also tried a steak gordita, which was okay.The music inside was really cool when I walked in, and the service was great. Overall, tasty food, but be prepared to open your wallet a bit wider!

We're new in town and I would absolutely never order from them again.. it was bad enough that the meals I ordered via Uber eats dropped off and I only ended up with a final order of guacamole and a soda for $27, the chips were stale.

It was helpful, adding the salsa, but I can't say I would return here if I was in town. the service was was just OK at one point our waitress left and never came back. The ambience was very casual with plenty of seating in the restaurant for big and small groups.

Las Palmas is a dining area attached to the main area of the store where customers order enchiladas, tacos, or whatever. A simple process at the counter. There's a few choices of proteins. Checked out the menu at the counter. It's got mostly tacos along with a few other items. The menu was hard to find at first so we used some paper menus. After looking around it was time to order at the counter. It's about $2 each for tacos. Of course these are the street food style, and we got the Vegetarian Tacos. Just couldn't keep the stuff in the shells. These had beans, cilantro, cheese which I left off, onions, and tomatoes. Great place to find authentic Mexican. It's located on the west side of the grocery store. There's a few menu items okay for vegans and vegetarians.

The only thing I noticed is that they don't have lot of omelette options available which was surprising for breakfast place. 4 stars because I was really disappointed at their AI menu for coffees.

I was sat immediately and my waitress took my order as soon as I was ready. Both the hostess and waitress were friendly and competent. Even the silverware was basically spotless. Unfortunately that's where the good news ends. I ordered the steak skillet with diced jalapeños. When it arrived it looked fine. The scrambled eggs were fluffy and inviting. When I took my first forkful it went downhill fast. The steak was cut into unappetizing kibble sized pieces. After eating a few bites I encountered my one and only sizeable piece of green pepper. Curious I took the eggs off the top of the rest of the skillet and then lost my appetite. Before me was a brown mess of ingredients. I order meals with a healthy amount of freshies in order to have something fresh and not too heavy, fatty or greasy. This was all of those. I finished the eggs and pushed brown pile away. SUCH A GOOD START! wasted by poor food. A note about the back of house management: there was a lot of standing around. The white guy with the white hair whom I took to be the owner had a look on his face like he just didn't wanna be there. Don't know if it's RBF but at least try to look like you are happy to see people. I'm just so disappointed. I'm not going to make a recommendation this time. They do some things so well and some so poorly. I don't think I could be fair.
