La Palmitas 2

Prompt, courteous and friendly service. Delicious tacos de cabeza and fish. Large servings!✌❤😎

Food is always fresh and hot. The food is super good here I recommend this place to eat

We used the drive Thur good was spot on service nice couldn't ask for anything more

Very clean, excellent prices, and awesome service. Upps love the food and the variety.🙂

The food here is made with love & it always taste like grandma's or moms good ol' home cooking.

Their breakfast burrito is the best. Great taste, Nice portions and ideal prices.

The food was good I had the Chile relleno burrito stuffed with carne asada.

Best Fish Tacos and Menudo, with friendly staff. A hidden gem of a small restaurante.

Great flavor in every food, very hot, nice welcome & the price perfect.

This place is affordable and super delicious, I like coming every Wednesday for their deals

Excellent customer service and food was delicious!

Excellent food prepared well, good prices, especially the $1.50 fish taco special every day. They really hustle and care about the customer and their food.

This is the place that turned me onto the California burrito 18yrs ago. I'm back to see if it is just as good. Great staff, great food. Come here for the best. This is my 2nd review - came back the next day for another California burrito!! AWESOME! Keep up the great work ladies!

Wed and Sun. $1.79Fish taco special. HUGE . Delicious. Cheese fries are 👌 Very clean.

The food is really good, and even have specials, but, they really need to work in customer service

Love this Mexican food chain in the Valley. Great food, friendly service and their salsa is yummy too. I think this is one of the few places that still makes Jamica from the flower.

May take some time but worth the wait! The food here is delicious. Will always keep returning whenever im in town.

Great food. I can tell a lot about how good the food is going to be based on the cheese used in the quesadillas and how they make it. This place does a great job on those and all the other food was delicious. I recommend this place.

Mom and I got the fish taco special. They had 1 or 2 dollar fish tacos on Wednesdays. They were fresh made, the batter was not too thick. There were different types of mayonnaise and looked very appealing.

Wednesday and Sunday for $1 fish tacos, love em. I especially love how they separate the ingredients of my tacos aren't soggy by the time I get home. Very good quality tacos they don't down degrade the quality for the price.

I Recommend the fish tacos. Wednesday and Sunday they're only $2 each. Served with fresh salsa, avocado sauce, chopped cabbage, crema, hot sauce, and lemon slices.

Great service Great food good price. My wife and I are from out of town we were looking for a place that had good food and was in our budget this place works fine It's clean and the staff are friendly We will definitely be coming back

This is the place to get your authentic birria tacos, they are delicious, and well served, it is now my favorite spot in imperial.

Consistent good quality and flavor food. Love their salsa. Do NOT like that I have to pay for the spicy carrots!

Incredible, the picture cannot show how GOOD it was. Upon entering you are kindly greeted, they recommended me the birria Tacos and OMY GOD. They were super filling, tender and delicious, please do yourselves a robot and order them. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We came here in April 2024. We wanted some authentic Mexican food and we found the right place. We ordered tacos, nachos and rice. All of the food wad was incredible. The nacho chips were made fresh and to order. When dining in, they bring your food to your table which is definitely appreciated. The stand that has the chili, cilantro and lemons was clean and stocked. They really stand by their slogan "The key to authentic Mexican food is patience" (not sure if that is verbatim), which is amazing. Food made to order, good service and great tasting food. We came on taco Monday, where there is a special on tacos for $1.99 each which is a very reasonable price. Most places that have a special going on, they prepare for the special by making food advance, therefore the food is dry, overcooked and old. THAT IS NOT THE CASE HERE! Our food was made to order and with love. I will definitely come back when I visit next time.

Got some awesome fish tacos on special today for only $1 each! Ordered 3 and it felt like they snuck an extra 1 in on me! So good! They fish tacos are exactly the same size as the regular priced days! Ambiance is multiplied by the Mexican music playing in the background and 3 televisions as well! Very nice and clean restaurant too! All their food gets 5 stars from me!

Chili Colorado Burrito! What!! It was amazing!! This place is a hidden Gem! Amazing food!!

Fish taco 🌮 Wednesday is the best 👌 👍 😍...that is all..!

Food was awesome. Definitely give them a try. Some of the best Mexican food I've had.

Thee best tacos around in town hands down in el centro no joke 🙌 D'poly is 2nd if you want fancy tacos but this one is 1st place best for authentic tacos

Got the al pastor burrito and agua de horchata, let me tell you it did not disappoint.

Clean establishment, great customer service and the food was unparallel! I got the California Surf and Turf and it exceeded my expectations by far. I highly recommend!!!

It's a pretty good place to have your seafood craving... over all good

Chicken Chile Relleno, very nice, food is good in general, service was great.

Clean place friendly staff price good fresh produce good meats Prices are moderate

your average taco shop, but cleaner. Kinda loud with all the TV's going on. Could do a better job with the salsa. Bar.

Great Mexican food menu. Almost anything you can think of in mexican food they will have; and they even have some sea food options. The fish tacos are really good.

Great tacos, great prices. Dining room closed during covid but staff very friendly and helpful

First time visiting, food was good, unfortunately no dining in yet, it's warm outside.

Food is good, little pricey and the place looks a lot better now that is remodeled.

Machaca is awesome. Every thing else is great here. So if you want Tacos or Burritos this one of tge places I reccomend in El Centro.

Clean place with friendly staff. The detail about these restaurants is that they take a while in preparing your order so be prepared to wait a little longer than usual. The fish tacos were very good and the special they have for them is well worth the trip.

This place has great munchies but also their plates are really good. Although this place doesn't serve seafood as it's advertised on their restaurant windows. This would make it a little better,and not psyche you out. Still a cool place.

Clean Mexican eatery w/ great menu. Service is solid and the wait not long...a minor drawback- no salsa cups for the salsa bar...if you are dining in you'll have to pour your salsa over your food.

Love the food here, only wish it would be ready a little bit faster. Sometimes you will be parked to wait if you go through the drive thru.

Well, as I sat waiting for my food. I observed two minor issues. One, a customer came in to order, there was no one at the register to assist her So she left. I looked around and of course every employee was busy making sure all the condiments and their sations were well maintained. Understable. another customer recieved his order left came back, must of forgot something. Anyways, my service was good. Though if you want chips and salsa you would need to pay 2.25. No salt and pepper on the tables, but maybe upon request. Dinning area was clean though my table needed a little wipe down. Topping Condiments station was clean. Fish tacos were delish. Come in on Sunday you pay $1.00 each taco. Its worth it. Here i have two photos one with sauces and one with out. Enjoy!💐

Had the chorizo and egg. Pretty good size serving. Aguas frescas available. Good price friendly service.

Went through the Drive-thru the person working the Drive-thru was very polite and fast in getting my order ready for me.

Great place to eat, highly recommend 👌

Good flautas. The food is good. Some servers are not too nice. One lady is very serious and just doesn't understand customer service. When you ask for something she says no or is just rude. Other than that, the food is good. Fish tacos are good and cheap. They installed a sink for customers to wash their hands before eating it serving themselves from the salsa bar, which is great. They keep the place clean and the food comes fast. Highly recommend.

They just be have the best fish and shirmp tacos but now they are always cold and they change their salsa. :(

My father in law likes white menudo from this place but sometimes is not what we expected.

To soon only order 1 item could give it mors stars in near future content for now

Usually get very good food, and I mean very good, but today not so much, ordered a chile relleno and it was soggy and cold, I hope that doesn't mean things are changing.

I really didn't like the menudo they served

Carnitas burrito was on point, but not greasy how I like with macisa. Service was pleasant and quick. Breakfast burrito hit the spot, excellent for the price 2.99

We had a very negative experience tonight my husband ordered the shrimp burrito with chile relleno no beams only rice. When he opened up King burrito to put in tea extra hot sauce he discovered that the shrimp burrito was actually a rice burrito with three small pieces of shrimp inside of them. We had paid extra because it was Seafood and you didn't think it was fair so we called somebody to talk to them they will not give us our money back and when I'm getting a new burrito all they did was throwing in some pieces of steak in and called it even. On the bright side the fish tacos were delicious

This place started off well enough, but has gone downhill fast. Almost all of the taco shops in the area are universally horrible, so this was a nice change for a bit. The prices are a bit expensive, and the meat quality is lacking. The last thing you want in carne asada is the unchewable connective tissue, and yet that appears to be cool from my experience with this location. Additionally, the price of rolled tacos is insane

Good food, prices could have been a little bit less but not that far off compared to other places. My tacos didn't have a whole lot of sauce & when asked for a little extra sauce they wanted to charge. Not a good impression for a 1st time visitor.

Me and my husband went to eat there the other day and the owner and his family were having a pizza party because they were celebrating. me and my husband had to get up and ask for food to go and leave because the owner's wife was so loud. There was a child running around in and out of the kitchen. They shouldn't let a child run around in the kitchen. Today we went and ordered drive thru and it took like 10 minutes for one potato and chorizo burrito, no egg. Kinda ridiculous. The young man at the window was very friendly though

The food here is tasty, especially the carne asada burrito enchilada style, but the prices and wait time is what kills the rating. The prices are kind of up there for just a few burritos and tacos (my order last time, not including drinks). Also, whenever I go drive through for the family I'm always waiting more than 15 minutes for the food. They never forget anything from my order though so that's a good thing. Overall this place has delicious food but watch out for the price and wait times.

Last time food was not good ... Tacos ceviche nachos bad... flautas ok

Despite being slow service and food took forever the food had no flavor when asked for a togo cup was told would be an extra charge

I figured I couldn't go wrong with tacos in this region. My ignorance was repaid with two types of unseasoned meats and watery ketchup-y salsa. What the hell guys.

Fish tacos are great there I enjoy the Horchata, i ordered there over 20x and I think i had one smile from a worker but it's almost never a friendly place to visit, I even get an attitude for making multiple to go oderes if I'm picking up for the guys in the field!! Maybe treat your employees better or at least teach them to smile and be courteous to the guest. Just my thought coneing from a restaurant owner for over 30 years !!

Not enough food for the price, 4 little beef tacos, 2 Little salsas and drink for $16 dlls.Asked for more salsas and they wanted more 💰 🤑

Bad service, i always find the tables dirty and they give you an attitude if you let them know

Very rude workers, dirty tables ive been here twice now and you get pan handlers every time you park and get out.

Poor service and rude employee the manager on 4th street wouldn't even show her face to correct an issue and the employees on adams got my order all wrong and over charged me.... totally bad restaurant staff

Why would you even serve this old brown guacamole?? 🤢 I was truly disappointed

I got two breakfast burritos and they were filled with egg and potatoes no bacon wat si ever . Not good

Food was ok meat has No flavor And super nachos no lo que esperaba

They never have food ready one time, always make drive thru wait in parking lot no matter what is being ordered

Stale chips that you have to pay extra for, very little choice for beverages if you are sugar and/or caffeine sensitive, and the taquitos came in some kind of red 'sauce' that made them soggy.

Order a carne asada salad that was allegedly supposed to have spinach and it was pure romaine lettuce with four strips of meat in three slices of tomato cut into two pieces. Terrible just terrible and the meat was a NOT carne asada.

Tacos were 2.25 instead of the 1.50 I'm used too. They were very small. No organization. It's just over priced no flavor small portions bad restraunt

I don't know what it is about this place, but I get sick every time I eat there. Enjoy at your own risk. The food is tasty, but I don't know if it's the ingredients or what.

Food is ok Taco meat tasted funny this time around. Not sure if food is prepared fresh as always 🤔

“Quality over quantity” right? Didn’t get either. Feel free to email me back for more details. Possibly the worst burrito I’ve had. Alright service.

I ordered 3 birria Caldos for my family and one pastor burrito for me for takeout for a total of 52 dollars. The birria is overpriced and my burrito came with only a scoop of guacamole it was so dry and flavorless. I guess they put the sides like chopped onions (only 2) in a baggie and cilantro in very little cups 1 inch in depth is crazy (only 2) was not enough for all the things we got. I'm really hungry so I ate it but 100% would not recommend this place for being stingy.

My first time trying the Weds $1.50 fish taco. I ordered 3. THE GOOD......, 1. Very decent size fish portions! 2. The lemon wedges were BIG and juicy 3. The pico de gallo 4. The price THE BAD..... 1. The large fish portions were cooked in oil that was to cold. Fish itself was mush, not flaky. And grease....sooooo dang greasy! There was no flavor....most tasteless fish I ever tried. 2. I ordered flour tortillas and got corn. They were a soggy mess that were simply sponges for all that grease oooozing out of the fish. 3. What I thought was tartar sauce ended up being very watered down mayo. There was no tartar sauce. 4. The hot sauce was a clear orange red colored liquid. Dipped my finger in it 3 different times and zero taste or flavor or heat. 5. The finely chopped cabbage was dried out and rubberized. I ate 2 of them....honestly forced myself to. Already regretting doing so. The third one ended up in the garbage... I just couldn't force that one down.

I really loved this place but it has just been horrible lately. Always forget to put guacamole with the tacos or burrito orders. If you ask for more (especially with the 12 oz order) they say they can't but will still forget to give you some atleast! Orders haven't been accurate at all either. Ordered 12 tacos, received 8. I used to recommend this place all over, but after these last 6 chances I gave them, I have decided I won't come back anymore. I figured mistakes can be done but the customer service has been terrible as well.

Had high Hope's for this place because the little mom-n-pop places are usually where you find the best Mexican food. We were really disappointed. We had to pay $2.25 for chips & salsa, only to get a bag of stale chips and "mild" salsa too hot to eat. I had the rolled tacos which tasted like they were cook in old grease. My husband did say the pinto beans were good though. If you go there, manage your expectations.

I 1st want to state that this place has wonderful food for a good price. However the management there especially the gentleman Omar, Very disrespectful I ordered a carne asada, eggs, burrito with beans and large quesadilla. Instead of getting what I ordered I got carne asada, guacamole, and beans the only problem is I'm allergic to avocados. I found out the burrito that I got on the 2nd bite it had avocados so I took it back to Omar letting him know that I got the wrong burrito and I was allergic to avocados. That's when he told me there's nothing he could do I would have to pay for a new one or eat the 1 that I got. Then I asked for a manager that's when he told me he was the manager. Then I asked to speak to the owner that's when he said that the owner wasn't in that he'd take my name and number I gave that and I asked for the owner's name and number. As I was looking around for the health department's info to get the phone number, they didn't have it posted for the public to see. That's when I asked for the health department's number as well. That's when Omar refused to give me both the owner's number and the health department's number then proceeded to call the cops on me for asking for numbers. At the end of the day all I wanted was my order fixed or a refund but Omar wouldn't do either because he would have to pay for it. It took the cops getting there to finally get it resolved were I got a refund.

When the cashier told me that the Flautas plate only comes with three, I said it would be fine. What she brought to the table, however was three taquitos not even a half-inch thick, less than 4 inches long, and not even enough meat to see without looking through it like a telescope. And she put it on the table, I told her that I would not accept that. She told me there are no refunds and walked away. I try to let it go, but it was $9 for something that I could get 46 of at Walmart for the same price. She told me she couldn't get a manager. It took another customer getting involved for them to even offer a solution. Even then the two girls behind the counter were rude and very unhelpful. Once we got our food, it was somehow salty and bland at the same time.

Came and grabbed a Carne asada burrito for lunch and it was the worst burrito I have ever had the meat was horrible and salty as hell Never coming back here STAY AWAY They also have you pull around to the front because they get behind on there orders

I got salty Birria and my wife got Salty waitress & manager when she pointed out the Flautas were actually Taquitos. We wouldn't mind it but it felt little overwhelming to spend 9$ on 3 tiny taquitos. Though we decline the food before she walked away, she exclaimed there is no refund, which was obvious cause they don't need a board for that cause it was written on their faces which we managed to miss. Apart from lazy waiting, arrogant management and zero quality food I gave them 1 stars cause there was Harry Potter on TV which I love.

The food was good but for some odd reason, they don’t like to put out the little plastic containers at the salsa bar. So I walked up to the counter, literally as the girl was pre-filling the little plastic containers with salsa for drive-thru orders, and asked if I could have a one or two for my BURRITO and she just rudely says no without any further explanation as to why not.
