    It's been a number of years since I've had Burritos La Palma after Jonathan Gold (LA Times Food critic) raved about these mini burritos. This location is in Boyle Heights, just on the other side of the LA River and not too far from DtLA. Burritos are snack size. So, you'll need a few to make it a meal. Order the 3-burrito combo for under $15. What's I like here are the flour tortillas. It's not too thin or too thick and has a nice chew to it. They're hand made here and grilled with your choice of guisado. I ordered the birria de res (spiced shredded beef), deshebrada (shredded beef with green chili and potato) and frijoles y queso. All were really tasty. Salsa here is refreshing but not too spicy so you'll need to take a bite out of that fresh jalapeno they compliment. Service here is quick and really friendly. Located a block away from Ramirez Liquor, grab a bottle of tequila on the way back. Great to see them expand without discounting quality and flavor. Getting street cred on the Michelin Bib Gourmand List says a lot. I do think a few other restaurants in this area deserve some credit as well.

    My favorite burrito spot. I love the size of the burritos. And I never feel overly full and gross after waiting them. Perfect portion, great flavor, and consistent every time.

    I was born and raised on bean and cheese burritos. Legend has it, my mom stared craving them when she was pregnant with me. Needless to say, I love a good b&c or f&q. They are my favorite food, my comfort food and in my opinion the best ones are usually homemade. But the frijol y queso burritos they have here are better than homemade! If I could eat them everyday I would. I've only ever had them to-go but they are always quick and efficient.

    Really good burritos that remind me like they are straight from grandma's house! We tried them all and my favorite one was the deshebrada, something about those green chilies send it over the top. Add the beans and cheese! I just wish they were filled more with the yumminess! Service was quick! You can order them to go or eat them there they have a few tables outside with a shade canopy.

    The tortillas here are insaneeee. I could honestly just eat those lol. Order outside at a window, grab and go. I think I remember seeing tables outside to eat but it was so hot that day I honestly forgot. Only reason this isn't a 5 star is because it's overpriced for what you get imo. The burritos are the size of flautas and I wish there was a little more filling inside. BUT other than that they're bomb af and yes I'll still come back regardless of the price lol. Bean and cheese- so good I could eat 10 of these Birria con todo- 10/10 Chicken tinga- not my fave but my girlfriend loved it

    This was my first time trying this burrito spot, and I can say they didn't disappoint. I ordered the Platillo Especial, which includes two small burritos with birria, topped with green chile pork sauce and cheese, served with refried beans on the side. Though the burritos were on the smaller side, their flavor was fantastic. The green chile sauce was a great complement. The staff were very friendly. Since there was no indoor seating--just a window order and two fold-out tables--we arrived early to secure a seat. Overall, the place had a good vibe, and the food was delicious. I highly recommend it.

    Burritos La Palma are known for their chewy house made flour tortillas. I always get the con todos because it has meat, beans, and cheese. I've tried the birria and deshebrada before and both were too dry. This location is slightly more generous with their salsa, giving 3 total for 4 burritos. Their location in El Monte only gives one sales for 2 burritos.

    The food was very very tasty. Very hole in the wall type place. The service could have been a little bit better. Nothing really bad about the service, it just wasn't as helpful as I am used to from other restaurants. Nonetheless, I was able to make my decision and ordered the double burritos. I knew it wasn't going to be your standard sized burritos because the cashier showed me. I went ahead and ordered anyways. Amd although the burritos combined could've been considered 80% of a solid street burrito, for the taste and freshness I would 100% go back to this place.

    Deshebrada Burrito and Chicharron Burrito
    Jonathan M.

    Burritos are delicious! Just wish they were a bit bigger since they are not in the traditional burrito size. From the ones that I've tried, the deshebrada burrito was my favorite. The burritos come with salsa and a serrano jalapeño to give additional flavor to the burritos. The service was quick. It only took a a couple of minutes for the burritos to be ready after placing your order. Be aware that there are only a few outside tables and chairs for you to use, so it's not ideal place for large parties. Will come back to try out the additional burritos!

    Still pretty good with the soft tortilla and tender birria. Not much birria in the skinny burritos but 2 filled me up again since the tortilla is very rich. Tortilla could be cooked a bit more since 1 of the burrito was borderline getting flour dough taste. Guess it's a fine balance of making soft chewy tortilla vs too cooked hard. Worked good for lunch and rest will take home to family for dinner.

    Deshebrada Burrito and Birria Burrito
    Mr. C.

    Stopped by here and got me 2 burritos. They were simple and pretty small, deshebrada burrito and a birria burrito. They were soft to the bite, some salsa to top it off. I honestly didn't think this spot would be good. The deshebrada burrito con todo was good stuff, the cheese added that touch to it. The birria burrito was pretty mid, nothing special but it wasn't bad. Deshebrada burrito: 8.3 Birria Burrrito: 7.1

    Burritos de Tinga and Deshebrado! Chips and best salsa (larger container).
    Cesar C.

    This Micheline recognized burrito take out spot is a "must-add" to your culinary experiences. Located within La Tropicana market (also an excellent place) you'll find an accessible menu to meet your taste buds! And, if you arrive after hours, you can purchase their delicious burritos from the frozen section well packaged in a box. I've tried all of their meat options and they get an A+! But, what excites me most is when I can have warm, spicy chips and a salsa that's not scared to be real! So... get an order of chips and salsa and you'll know what im talking about!

    1 Star -- Extremely disappointing experience…read more Unfortunately, our experience at this restaurant was horrible from the moment we arrived. When I first arrived, I gave them the name of our reservation, and the staff had no idea what I was talking about. We were a party of 6, yet they seated us at a tiny table that was clearly not appropriate for our group. When it was time to order, my husband very clearly told the waiter which pasta he wanted and even showed him a picture of the item on the menu. The waiter looked at it and agreed. My food came out, but my husband's food never did. We eventually found out that his order was never even put in. What made it worse was when the waiter came out saying, "Oh my God, I thought you said you didn't want it." Everyone at the table looked at him completely confused because my husband had literally told him what he wanted and showed him the menu item. Instead of simply acknowledging the mistake and fixing it, we were left waiting. On top of that, trying to get anyone's attention was nearly impossible. We had to repeatedly try to get someone's attention just to get basic service. Then there was another issue with the entrance fee. My sister-in-law had messages showing that we were told that if we ate at the restaurant, we would no longer have to pay the entrance fee. We showed those messages to the woman handling the wristbands, but instead of looking into it or speaking to someone who could clarify the situation, she simply said, "I don't know, you have to pay." No attempt was made to investigate or resolve the issue. After everything that happened, they still added a tip to the bill, despite the extremely poor service we received. Overall, this was one of the most frustrating restaurant experiences I've had. Poor communication, poor service, lack of organization, and no effort to make things right. I definitely will not be recommending this place to anyone, and we will not be returning.

For Dine LA, I started with the Tostada Campechana, which was like an elevated ceviche with scallops, tuna, yellowtail, avocado, and a citrus sesame sauce. Everything tasted super fresh and the citrus gave it the perfect balance. The Bone Marrow Mole was rich, flavorful, and came with a generous portion and toast.

The menu is simple but seemingly well thought out. Prices were good for LA. I ordered a carne asada burrito 2.0 and a medium cucumber lime agua Fresca for less than $20 total. At the time we came in, the restaurant was virtually empty, which was a relief because this location is quite small. Food came out quick, and someone brought it out to where we were sitting. It comes with some radish, a grilled green onion, a lime, and two of their salsas (a salsa verde and what I believe is their chiltepin salsa). Right away, you can tell the quality of the tortilla from the feel and the slightly translucent look of it. Upon giving it a taste, I'd say it lived up to the hype. The tortilla was flavorful and chewy, and the meat inside had a fresh smoky flavor from the grill. While I prefer refried beans in a burrito, I could tell the beans were cooked well too. Altogether, I have no complaints. Is it a life changing burrito like some make it out to be? Maybe not. To me, it tasted like a few very well executed ingredients put together rather than a transformative dish. But for the price, I think it's very impressive. You just don't get a tortilla like that anywhere. The agua Fresca was very good too, and with prices of aguas frescas pushing $12+ at some places, this felt like a great deal. I would say I recommend the pepino limon over the coconut horchata, which was just a bit bland.

Since they live in an area with limited Mexican cuisine, I chose Guelaguetza, a James Beard Award-winning restaurant with authentic Oaxacan recipes, something completely new to them. They were excited to try something different, as they don't have many Mexican food options where they live, and I wanted to expand their culinary horizons. We were greeted with complimentary chips - some were drizzled with mole and Oaxacan cheese, which we requested refills of, and others were served with red and green salsas. The green salsa had a nice kick to it. For our meal, we shared two large dishes: the Festival de Moles ($53.00) and the Tlayuda Guelaguetza ($27.50). The Tlayuda Guelaguetza, which is also called a Mexican pizza, was layered with bean and chicharron spread, queso fresco, cabbage, quesillo, beef tasajo, pork Cecina, and pork chorizo. While I've always wanted to try Tlayuda, this one wasn't good, and I wouldn't recommend it. The pork chorizo was particularly unappetizing, and neither my parents nor I enjoyed the dish, feeling it was a waste of money. The Festival de Moles ($53.00) featured four individual moles - negro, rojo, coloradito, and estofado - with a choice of shredded chicken breast or pork spare ribs. We opted for a mix of both and found this dish to be excellent, and we would definitely order it again. They were very impressed with the moles, and enjoyed them for the first time. The only minor complaint was a lack of tortillas to dip with the mole, though they did provide some rice. We ordered several drinks, which significantly increased the bill. I was surprised we spent $200 on lunch for three people with only two meals. I started with the Pasion De Oaxaca ($16.00), a mezcal, tequila, passion fruit, grapefruit juice, and tajin cocktail that was excellent, perfectly balanced, strong, but not too sweet. For my second drink, I had the refreshing Aquas Frescas - Jamaica ($6), which was perfect after my meal. I even took it to go, and they kindly provided a cup. My dad ended up taking it, as he needed it with his medication (they're old!). My parents, who were trying mole for the first time, were very impressed and really enjoyed it. Our only minor complaint was the lack of tortillas to dip in the mole, although they did provide some rice. The food took a little longer to come out, even though the restaurant wasn't busy. I imagine this type of cuisine is labor-intensive, and you can't rush the cooking time for mole. You just have to trust the process! We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Guelaguetza Restaurante and will definitely be back. I can see why they're a James Beard Award-winning restaurant; you can get authentic Oaxacan flavors in LA! We're lucky to live here.
