They sell my favorite burritos. They're simple, delicate, and full of flavor. Excellent value for money as well. Don't pass on it!

Every time I eat here (which is almost weekly) I always feel sorry for people who don't live near this place. I have an addiction to the birria, deshebrada, and quesadilla. Don't save me.

If you want something simple and won’t make you feel super bloated then this hits the spot. I adore the tortillas 😍 They’re so soft and yummy. I love they give you a green chile on the side 🌶️ They also give you a side of salsa for the burritos. They have some cool new hats too 🧢

As seen on Netflix series The Taco Chronicles, these are Zacatecas-style burritos, and they are delicious. These *are not* the American-style burrito filled with a pound of rice, beans and yellow cheese. La Palma burritos are a great opportunity to try different authentic guisados from Mexico, I highly recommend to expand your horizons by trying 2 or 3 different flavors, especially birria, tinga and the acclaimed refried beans and cheese. For the most adventurous, having a bite of fresh serrano pepper along with your burrito takes the experience to the next level.

The burritos at La Palma are great, especially with their handmade tortillas. They’re the perfect size for a quick snack and hit the spot every time! I personally prefer the beans and cheese.

I usually go to the location on Bristol, but this one is closer to me. I noticed the guisados taste different and the size in the burritos are not the same. They’re way smaller. Last time, they got my order wrong I got some con todo and desebrada and only meat was in them. Also, the potatoes tasted like plastic. I thought it was just me, but my husband said the same thing. We’ll just continue going to the other location.

Definitely not a Michelin star place, food is bland! Over hyped place for sure. Service and atmosphere is fine but food is nothing.

I'm honestly at a lost. I need to clarify, I'm pretty fat, so I get that downtown prices are inflated; but how are you gonna have a michelin plaque amongst the other accolades with such subpar burritos? Mini burritos just seems criminal, and I got two. TWO. I got the birria with beans and cheese burrito...it was just beans. That's ALL I could taste. I swear to god I was so hungry I went over to the otherside to get more food. This is what's so frustrating about downtown food. Join me for my review of Golden eatery on the otherside LOL
