Hands down one of the best tortas I have had in a while. Not to mention the salsas aren’t to spicy, unless you ask for them. For this place to be run by only two people, it is incredible food. Not pictured are the three tacos my dad loved.

We’ve eaten here twice in the past few days - food is delicious, service was outstanding (the women working is such a sweetheart), and everything was served relatively quick! 10/10 recommend ☺️

Palmitas Mexican Food just made it onto my favorites list. I had the best enchiladas rojas I’ve had in a long time—the chicken was perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. We also ordered the Mojarra Nayarit (fried tilapia with Nayarit sauce), and it was outstanding—beautifully cooked and incredibly impressive. The fresh guacamole and light, crispy chips didn’t disappoint either. I also loved both their roja and verde sauces. Definitely check this place out!

Great food, great prices, and great service! I stopped in at 10pm on a Friday with a friend and the waitress was very sweet, even giving us an extra plate of chicken they were working on for free with our order. The al pastor tacos especially are fantastic!
