Parking is street parking. There's a couple of folding tables in front and it's outdoor seating accompanied by a couple of portable gazebos. Most people were taking food to go, but I could not wait. You order from a window and while the menu is sparse it's overwhelming thinking about the combos. I settled on the birria and the chicharon and decided to go all out with bean and cheese addition to each. The burritos are a specific style and meant to be smaller and thinner. You can buy in two pack or three pack. The burritos are individually wrapped and come paired with a raw chili pepper which was fantastic to bite into between bites of the burritos. The contrast of textures work so well between chewiness and then the crunch of the raw pepper. The chicharon was fantastic. Porky and flavorful. I do wish it had a crunch of chicharon fried pork skin, but it was good. The birria was probably the clear winner of the two. It was Smokey and rich and paired effortlessly with the oozing melting cheese. My only critique is the salsa wasn't as hot as I would like, but overall with a drink my meal came up to under 15 DOLLARS. It's such a bargain and I understand why they're a Michelin Bib Gouremand addition!! read more

Amazing no frills all meat, no rice nor beans burritos! I favor the birria and the deshebrada burritos! The chicken tinga just wasn't it. Next time I wanna try the Chicharron... This is now my new favorite burrito place! read more

I haven't physically been to the location yet, but I've ordered through Uber Eats--and even then, the experience was chef's kiss. I love that the burritos are small but packed with flavor. Simplicity at its best. I've tried the birria, the tinga, and the bean burritos. The birria is by far my favorite--the meat is incredibly tender and juicy. The tortillas are handmade, so fresh and authentic. I'm so grateful they're on Uber Eats so I can keep ordering without making the drive, although it would definitely be worth it. read more

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. read more

Burritos La Palma - Burrito Con Todo (Birria, Frijoles, and Queso) - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

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. read more

Good food. But not sure about being Michelin recommended... This food is very good but you can find a place like this in every town in LA... Please correct me if I am wrong and teach me... why is this Michelin recommended? read more

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. read more

Burritos La Palma - All that was left of my bean and cheese burritos but the packaging is nice Frijoles y Queso Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

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 read more

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. read more

Ever since a friend introduced me to their deshebrada burritos, I've been hooked. The burritos are shredded beef and potato in green chile and I literally crave them ALL THE TIME. You can order 2 for $10 or 3 for $15. Personally, I go with the pair because it's the perfect portion without feeling overstuffed. Place is so great that it's even Michelin Bib Gourmand recognized meaning it's good quality food at good value! Service is always friendly and the vibe is casual. It's a walk-up window with some fold-out tables and chairs out front. You can even grab a margarita or a beer with your burritos! I also just found out they sell frozen burritos to take home. Definitely grabbing those next time so I can have a stash ready whenever the craving hits. read more

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. read more

Burritos La Palma - Con todos - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

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. read more

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! read more

Food was amazing. Prices are realistic nothing is overpriced. They don't compromise Un taste and flavor specially with the homemade flour tortillas bomb Diggity. read more

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. read more

Wow. no words. awesome quality and value. love that this place exists in 2026. a great alternative to fast food priced options

Obsessed is an understatement. Need that chicken tinga burrito with beans and cheese every time! Loved their shredded beef burrito as well. Very quick window service - refreshing agua frescias. I just wish for more salsa options in the future. read more

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 read more

Burritos La Palma - Deshebrada Burrito and Birria Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

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! read more

tl;dr the dynamic chile verde headlines a can't-miss burritos mojado platter at this family-owned fast-casual mini-chain Burrito shops are ubiquitous across Southern California. But few specialize in the simple, sushi roll-sized Zacatecas burrito. Enter Burritos La Palma, a mom-and-pop hole-in-the-wall turned mini-chain. Here, the flour tortilla burritos are loaded only with your choice of stewed meats. Turn them into "especial" burritos mojados to enjoy a generous ladle of fragrant, meaty salsa verde and a sprinkle of Monterey Jack. While minimalistic, these burritos have earned wide praise, including Bib Gourmand recognition by the Michelin Guide. Burritos La Palma has now expanded to a handful of locations across SoCal. The original El Monte Shop barely pops against its drab, mostly industrial block far off the 10. There are a few dedicated parking spots outside the tan, plaster storefront. The bright lighting, white-and-red color palette, and matching wall art inside are drastically more aesthetic. Place your order from the trim, burrito-centric menu at the open kitchen-checkout counter immediately to the left. A mix of wooden laminate booths and round, cafe-style two-seater tables is packed into the narrow dining room to the right. Spanish-language pop music mixes with sizzles and clangs from the kitchen. Expect a steady trickle of takeout customers even during off hours. I arrived at Burritos La Palma for an early weekday, and I was able to order immediately. I opted for the Platillo Especial: a combination plate of 2 burritos mojados, refried beans, and undressed salad. The sides were bland and totally forgettable, initially making me second-guess my decision to pay $5 extra for the combo. The sugar-forward, barely cinnamon-y Horchata was similarly lackluster. But the tangy chile verde was alone worth the premium. Each diminutive burrito felt surprisingly hearty, filled to the brim with tender birria. The chewy tortillas were sturdy against the soup of salsa, and the deliciously rich culmination melted in my mouth. I was impressed enough that I ordered another platter to take home to my partner -- and it held up admirably against the 30-minute ride home. Although the platter defaults to 2 birria de res burritos, you mix and match any protein options; the Deshebrada doubles down on the salsa verde, while the Chicken Tinga sports a subtle spice. Nowadays, the Platillo Especial runs for $16 -- slightly pricey but undeniably delicious. The secret is in the homemade chile verde, stewed with a trade secret recipe of dried chiles and pork. It's a no-brainer whether or not you should shell out the extra $5 for the combo; the only question is which two proteins to choose. read more

Burritos La Palma - Platillo Especial - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Some of the best burritos I've ever eaten in my life. If you haven't been you must go. There's no bad decision on the menu. I order two.

Burritos were good but small. I believe the special was 3 burritos for $15 which isn't bad but you'll definitely need more than 1 per person. I tried the Tinga it was okay, the beef and potatoe one was better in my opinion. read more

First time at this location, second time having these burritos. They were good but not as good as I remember from the original location. Also, for the price?! And the size?! Boy is shrinkflation real. I think I've had my fix of these for the next decade. The fact that this specific location is curbside (read order through a window outside, seating options are popup tables, and limited parking) also makes me prefer alternatives. If coming here, I'd advise you take them to go as the background of traffic noise and smell may not add to your meal. While not for me it may be for you. read more

Came here based on a friend's recommendation. Those cute little burritos are very delicious and filling and service was quick.

I've been a fan of Burritos La Palma since trying their El Monte location--always high quality, always delicious. The only reason I didn't go often is because, El Monte is not a location I usually pass by. But now with this new LA location near the corner of Soto and Olympic--right around where the 60 weirdly morphs into the 10 FWY, I can finally get my fix whenever I'm passing through downtown. Today was my first time at this spot and I'm blown away. It's like I always knew how good it was, but nothing ever nudged me to go. That's changed now. Let's talk portions: If you're into quantity over quality, this place isn't for you. These burritos are small. Most people grab 2 or 3. I'm good with 2 these days, but in my younger, hungrier years? Probably 3 or 4 easy. You can add beans and cheese and get it toasted for 50 cents more, which definitely adds value--but personally, I keep it classic. Just meat, pure flavor and nothing to distract from it. And please--don't be that person whining about the size. You're free to go to Taco Bell. This place is for people who want flavor, not filler. read more

Caught this place right before they were about to close (6pm). My friend was smart enough to check and call them to make a last minute order before they closed. Michelin rated mexican place in East LA that was highly recommended. Overall, great burritos! One thing I'll add is that they are small so a single burrito will probably not be enough. Buy a few. Very tasty Tip: This place closes early at 6pm. Discovered they also have a location in Highland Park for those who are not near East LA. I plan to try out that location in the near future. read more

All my life I have enjoy eating some of the best burritos since I was young. As I get older and wiser I have had different kind of burritos from different styles of restaurants. One of friend of mine recommend this burritos place in Boyle Heights two blocks away from old Sear's building and historic building. My wife and I and her dad went try the burritos at the Burritos La Palma,I found the place they parking. It's a stand there's tables chairs a tent that you can sit and pick up your meal. The price are very affordable and the burritos are average size. We decided to order my wife order the chicken tinga burrito and a cheese quesadilla and her dad order the chicharron burritos and I got the Birria burritos . Couple minutes later they call my name then I pick the food. I took a bite of the Birria burrito amazing great flavor the beef was so tender and sauce incredible good so spices in sauces I really enjoy it. My wife enjoy her chicken tinga burrito and her cheese quesadilla she share her cheese quesadilla it was very cheesy I enjoy it. Her dad enjoy his chicharron burritos. We enjoy the food very much and also very affordable and average size with so much flavor I would come back again read more

Just had this place for lunch. It was ok. No inside seating, just a bunch of fold out tables and chairs outside. Service was mediocre, spoke softly and not even a smile. The burritos are more like tacos árabes. The little bit of meat it had tasted good but just wasn't enough. You need to eat like 3 of them to feel as full as a regular burrito, which means you spend like 15$! It's not something I feel the need to come back for. read more

Saw them on Tik Tok and the bean and cheese burrito and was nasty. Not disappointed but kinda let down by the hype.

The food is good. I got the beef birria burritos. The bad part is that the burritos were super tiny. They are more rolled tacos in size or slightly fatter taquitos. They are good as an appetizer maybe, not as an actual meal. read more

My girlfriend brought me some of these little burritos and they are delicious. Small but packed with meat and the tortillas are amazing

Burritos La Palma specialized in small, thin burritos at about $4.50. I stopped by mid-day and got a couple of the birria - decent flavor and the accompanying sauce adds some acidity and moisture to each bite. Appreciate the bite size nature and the focus on the meat. They also service Tecate and Margaritas (though they were out of margarita mix when we were there). Some small seating outside with some covering. read more
