Wet burrito combo
Amanda P.

The burritos were amazing, especially the burial burrito, and I'd come back just for that. However, I was disappointed after being told the combo included a salad and beans, only to receive a small side of iceberg lettuce with one tomato. The "side salad" felt very underwhelming compared to what was expected. SKIP THE COMBO. Thank me later :)

Burritos La Palma is a Michelin Bib Gourmand Recommendation as an inexpensive spot for good food. Their burritos run for about $5/each and they say that they recommend 2-3 burritos per person. The burritos are fun-sized, and the star of their show is their flour tortillas that are filled with your ingredients of choice. I think the frijoles con queso (bean and cheese) are the best complement to the perfect flour tortilla; however, if you get their "con todo", it has the bean and cheese with their birria meat. This was my favorite flavor combo. We also ordered their chicken tinga, which had contrasting bites of chicken, bite sized potato, and chipotle pepper. Got the chicharron burrito; however, I'd only recommend it to you if you like the texture of a chewy chicharron, which is not what I enjoy. While the burritos are smaller and you may need a few to fill you up, I do like the ratio of tortilla to filling. The lighter burritos make it easier to appreciate their great tortillas. Salsas are thin and watery with some jalapeno flavor. The burritos were also served with a side of raw jalapeno, which was fine. Overall, I think this is a great spot for an inexpensive meal (unless you need 5-6 of them to get your fill). I'd definitely come back if I was in the area; however, I do have other options closer to me in Long Beach (Sonoratown, Joliza's tacos) that may fill the craving.

Love this place to grab lunch the bean and cheese burritos are my favorite. On the smaller side you will need 2-3 to be full. They added some new menu items like the nachos and they were yummy. Also have tried the Birria (con todo and regular) and deshebrada those are good as well!

Torta especial

Tortilla are still awarding winning grade. It holds the filling with juice very well. Torta is exceptionally well prepared with pickled jalapenos, molten cheese, and avocado. Burritos are juicy and delicious.

First time here! The burritos were small and good. Especially great for under $5 if you have a small enough appetite for just one!! The beef birria was yum!! I didn't love the salsa but could tell it still tasted fresh, it just needed a little somethin somethin!

If you're looking for a birria burrito, look no further. I highly recommend that you get there. Combo burrito. Their refried beans are amazing. This is a nice little restaurant. Pretty cozy, but it still feels that it has ample space. They don't have the table super close together and there is also seating outside. I happen to try most of the burritos, the one that I recommend is the birria burrito. The other burritos are solid as well, but I felt like they could use a bit more. Now this is coming from someone whose mom is known to be the best cook in the family. So maybe I'm judging them to my standards or to my mom standards, which I know is not fair, but you can't go wrong with anything you get here. I will definitely be back if I'm in the area.

Good new addition to the Costa Mesa area but be warned that it is different from the other taquerias in the area. Here's what you need to know: 1. Smaller burritos but the 2-3 options are filling 2. Normally, I'm a huge chicharron person but it was a little on the fatty side (so much so I couldn't fully enjoy it) 3. The salsa on the side is quite mild 4. Jalapeños are provided 5. Mexican soda options as well 6. Indoor seats available 7. Quick service It's worth trying at least one to see if it's your cup of tea. The con todo was probably the overall favorite.

Happen to be next to the plaza where Burritos La Palma and I was craving a burrito so it was meant-to-be! It was just before noon and we were the 2nd in line but wow...there was a line out the door when we finished ordering. We ordered the following: 01. Quesadilla Con Carne $6.75 - 4 Stars - Ordered this to-go so I didn't get a photo of it. I was told it was really good. 02. Chips & Salsa $3.50 - 4 Stars - You get a different salsa than the salsa for their burritos. It's a red salsa. A good amount of chips too but I didn't get a photo of it. 03. 2-Frijol Con Queso $4.95 - 5 Stars - The beans were seasoned well and the cheese was melty. No wonder it's a fan favorite. Their flour tortillas were so soft and warm, tasted very fresh. 04. Birria $4.95 - 3.5 Stars - The flavor was good, not too robust like other Birrias. I wished they would put the Birria Consommé on the side so the tortillas wouldn't get soggy. If you dine in, the tortillas will hold up but if you take it to-go, it does get a bit too soggy. 05. Chicharron $4.95 - 2 Stars - The one we didn't like. When I think of Chicharron, I think crispy Pork Skin. Theirs was super soft, more like soggy in texture. It wasn't good, the texture made it worse. The menu says it is spicy but it wasn't at all. I prefer the pork skin to be crispy. It's just my preference. I wouldn't order this again. 06. Deshebrada $4.95 - 4 Stars - One of our fave out of the 6 Burrito options. It had the most flavor and wasn't too drenched with the sauce. We loved the Green Chile and Potato combo with the Shredded Beef. PARKING - Located in the same plaza with CVS Pharmacy and tucked in the corner. There's plenty of parking, it's a busy plaza so just watch for drivers not looking. CUSTOMER SERVICE - Staff were all so friendly. Service was fairly quick. FOODS - Their Flour Tortillas are 10/10 for us. The Burritos are skinny and small about the length of your hand (normal size hands not small hands). The Flavors of the meats is not robust or charred, think of "Crock Pot", "Slow Cooked" style. That is what came to our minds as we were eating them. They are good but not a "WOW" factor for your tastebuds. Our FAVE is the Frijol Con Queso (Bean/Cheese) and the Deshebrada (Shredded Beef). Their salsa is on the watery side but decent. The flavor was not spicy at all, more mild-medium spicy level. When you order Chips and Salsa, it's a thicker Salsa. I don't know if you could swap out the watery one for the thicker one. Will ask next time. VERDICT - I would come back to get the Frijol Con Queso and the Deshebrada burritos. It's a decent burrito, just tell yourself not to expect a big burrito so you're not in shock. Yes, they are small but tasty. Yes they are different than most burritos but good. Did you know they hold the Michelin Award 5 Years in a row? Pretty impressive for a simple concept.

Chicken Tinga
Daph H.

Burritos La Palma is famous for their flour tortillas, often cited as the best in LA. Their burritos are a smaller than the ones you usually see. Priced at about $5 each, they are long and skinny and come with a side of salsa. You can choose from six different flavors, including birria, chicken tinga and refried beans. I ordered two burritos which was just about right. Their tortillas are nice and soft. The birria was filled with delicious meat, while the tinga is a little on the spicy side. Their salsa is not my favorite - a little on the watery side but adds a little extra something. I'm somewhere between four and five stars but the service here deserves five stars. The staff is so friendly and makes you feel very welcome! Indoor and outdoor seating available.

I stopped by for a quick bite and ordered the bean and cheese, birria, and deshebrada burritos. The handmade flour tortillas were soft, chewy, and perfect. The birria and deshebrada were full of flavor, and the bean and cheese was good as well. I ordered way too much, I thought that the burritos were smaller, but I managed to eat a good amount. I would say two is very filling! One thing to note, my friend is pescatarian and couldn't try the salsa since it has meat in it. It would be great if they offered a vegetarian-friendly salsa option so everyone could enjoy. Other than that, the service was quick, the spot was clean, and I'd definitely come back.

Burritos!

Come here on a Saturday afternoon while it was busy but it was easy to find seating and the food came out fast. We ordered a birria quesadilla, a birria and deshebrada burrito. The burrito's were so yummy! I loved the tortillas and the birria but the deshebrada was my favorite! I loved the salsa they serve on the side as well. Perfect addition to enhance but not overpowering. The quesadilla was good but so wet that it got everything soggy. Clean restaurant and friendly staff.

Tom T.

Always craving this place. Tortilla is soft and delicious and the meat is very flavorful

WINNERS? Bean and cheese and the chicken burrito and potato (tinga) were my favorites. Smashing the burrito in the salsa is yum. It's a very light subtle flavor. Good with or without. I had the todo and I loved just the bean and cheese part. They are all good but I'm talking about favorites. The Beria? Bizarrely weird aftertaste. It tasted like nothing anyone is talking about in the reviews.

Are the refried beans vegetarian?

From what I have read online the beans and the tortillas are cooked with lard.

When we arrived, we were shocked to see they were going to squeeze us into someone else's table filled with people that could not comfortably seat four additional people next to them . Horrified we requested what we originally booked and they said NOTHING accept they were REALLY BUSY and pointed us to the outdoor fire pits with no proper chairs or seating just a firepit to put a child to sit in front of. At this point zero management came to address this and zero servers as we asked for one . We were completely ignored . We were so hungry we just sat down desperate and starving. There was no omlette bar. (I was told on the phone there was an omlette bar before booking ) No sauces to go with any food. Dried up scrambled eggs and just a few dishes to choose from this 'buffet'. The ONLY salad dressings they had (2) were super sweet (no ranch) nothing . No flavor . Their non meat dishes were just one horrible dried up bean and grain pattie obviously frozen out of a box even an animal would never eat . It was that bad . Their 'replacement ' for almost zero dishes was a pancake ststion obviously to cut costs even more . The food was horrible . When you anticipate a special Mother's Day brunch that is horribly overpriced and get this in return its so disappointing and apalling .We were prepared to walk out after our bad news of no proper seating and terrible start but by then obviously we couldn't just go to another brunch on Mother's Day . Plus our other two guests were parking with a child so we were stuck. This was our only option or nothing. Its unbelievabke how am estsblishment can treat people like this especially on a soecial day like Mother's Day amd can command their pricing with no proper and safe seating for 4 with safe and healthy distancing with a fire pit as a SEAT. No apologies , no manager , nothing . just a terrible high bill, very little options and poor food quality . At best we should get a refund as this was false advertising and did not get a table for up to 4 . What an awful Mother's Day Brunch . We go out to eat EVERYWHERE around here but can't believe sonething like this can exist . So sad . This part of the day was ruined .

Finally made my way here after saying countless times how I should check it out and it did not…read moredisappoint! I wasn't really sure what to expect, so I went in with zero expectations. I went on a Friday night and it was VERY lively! There was a band playing by the bar and it was packed! People were drinking, dancing, hanging out. All of this is happening in a supermarket! Lots of food vendors to check out and all of it looked delicious! I don't remember the names of the places my friend and I ordered food from, but I had a chile relleno burrita, seafood cocktail, and pozole. I've never really had chile relleno, so I decided to just go for it and try something different even though there were other options that were more my preference. It was alright. Good thing it was only $5. The seafood cocktail was delicious! They did not skimp on the seafood and everything in it tasted so fresh. Pozole wasn't terrible, but just like my burrita, it was a bit on the bland side. Maybe my palate skews too heavily towards salty, but I felt like a little salt here and there would've really improved the flavors in everything we ordered. Overall the quality/freshness was there! Regarding the market part, nothing special. Maybe a little more selection than your typical Northgate, especially in the liquor department. Their wall of tequila was impressive. I will definitely be back again to try the other foods! In fact, I may just come all the way out here to do grocery shopping from time to time. I saw a guy doing some shopping with a cocktail in his cart and I want to live that life. Bro definitely had the right idea.

The Menudo from the Birrieria La Menuderia place inside Mercado Gonzalez is so good!…read more They always sell out before noon, so come early in the morning! They offer the rojo (red) and blanco (white) versions of Menudo. I love that it comes with a lot of meat and fresh tortillas to eat it with. There is so much flavor in the soup. They went up in price ($17.99) as of 2026, and although I think it's pretty pricey, if you're already shopping here and have a craving for menudo, I think it's worth splurging. People who work here are always super nice and friendly - I just love coming to this place for my menudo fix!

LOVE this place for GREAT, FRESH, Coastal, Mexican food!…read moreThis location in Costa Mesa in particular, has been updated (new paint, new chairs, new lighting, etc.) and they have updated their menu with even MORE, Seafood items! They make GREAT Guacamole, customized at table side to your specs and their FRESH Chips, Tortillas and Salsa's are homemade in the restaurant. Husband LOVES their Pomegranate Margherita's and I can't get enough of their Enchilada's (Cheese, Chicken) and their Crunchy Taco's (Shredded Beef is my Fave!). Add in that their FRESH, Side Salads are AMAZING along with their new menu items - including Seafood combo's and there is no where else to go in OC for better Mexican food!
