    Street tacos
    Abby H.

    I had a great experience here. I hope they stay in Syracuse. They are located right in front of the movie theaters and have indoor and outdoor seating. The parking lot is a little tight but I got a spot right in the front. I went here for lunch with a friend and we were seated right away. We got our order quickly and the woman who served us was very kind. We were given chips and salsa. The menu is large and has a lot of options to choose from. It's your typical Tex-mex restaurant. Burritos, tacos, enchiladas.... I got the tacos and ordered one of each. The steak, chicken, and birria. The birria didn't come with sauce but was seasoned well. The steak and chicken was fantastic. My only complaint is they don't come with salsa and they didn't offer me any. The rice was yummy and the beans were okay. If you are a tex-mex lover you will love it here.

    Food is a 10/10 always!. My husband orders the Sea&Earth burrito and swears by it (minus onions) The sopes are our favorite as a family though. They are fried perfectly but soft center. Topped with al pastor, lettuce, tomatoes & sour cream. Best tasting rice & beans around hands down. Everyone can make rice and beans but not everyone can get it right. El Palmar is one of those places where you go when want a home cooked meal but don't wanna cook. This is a small business we will always support.

    This was hit and miss for us. Supposedly they are under new ownership and while they were slightly better the second time around, the differences were not big. Carne Asada- this was the best meal on the table. The flank steak had great flavor. Sopes- we got one of each meat. Carne asada, carnitas, and pollo. Everything was okay, but bland. Birria tacos- these were okay at best. The tacos themselves were very cheesy, but the meat didn't have a lot of flavor and they were a bit soggy. They needed some crisp to them and that would've helped a lot. And the consommé wasn't great. It was very bland, the only flavor I could taste was cinnamon, which I definitely don't love in my consommé. I added all the limes and it helped but only a little. Verde Enchiladas- not good. The salsa verde tastes like it's straight from a can. It's puréed completely, thin, and sour. And not good-sour. The rice and beans that came on every plate were also not good. The rice tasted like minute rice, and it was almost mush. Looks like it went through a blender. The beans tasted like they had way too much lard and were extremely bland. Overall, we will probably not come back. We tried them before the ownership change and now after, and the food is sadly still sub-par. They need some major improvements before we patronize them again.

    I wanted to support this new restaurant in our community and ended up sorry I did. We went last night and the service was kind but VERY slow. We got there at 7 and didn't leave until almost 9. It took 40 minutes to get chips and salsa. My husband and I had ordered cokes. We both took a sip at the same time and looked at each other saying, "does yours taste off?" I took a couple more sips but couldn't drink any more, it just tasted weird. We finally got our food after being there over an hour and it wasn't good. My husband got the carnitas chimichanga and he said the meat was too dry to eat. He took it out and just ate the tortilla. I had the birria tacos. They had a strong cinnamon flavor and gave me a stomachache. They've only been open 3 weeks so hopefully they work out their kitchen pacing and recipes, but we definitely won't be going back.

    This place is authentic the salsa is always fresh and the pineapple drink is amazingly fresh and not powdered or sugary so good !

    Amazing food, Amazing service and such a personal feeling when you go in. They treat you like family, They genuinely want you to enjoy a great dinner and give you amazing service even if you're literally in pajamas. The food came quickly and it tasted better than anything I've had in YEARS. The restaurant was beautiful as well. 10/10 would recommend VERY cost effective as well. You can bring your family without breaking the bank. I hope you can all enjoy their food too!!

    Yesterday, my family and I went to check this place out and let's just say I highly recommend this place. Food is delicious, the aguas fresca was so good, and staff are super friendly. If I could give this place 10 stars I would.

    On the first day of 2026, my wife and I decided to venture out and try something new…read more A random recommendation from YELP popped up on her phone. Keeping with a couple criteria, an untried venue, check! Food, (most importantly) check! and nearby, check! We decided to throw on some foot covers and head out the door. A quick jaunt and we'd arrived. Super easy to find even though it isn't street facing. Expecting it to be bustling with NYE recovery folks, we were surprised to find a quiet establishment that had two other patrons. Quickly I grabbed up a menu and we were immediately greeted with a friendly "Good Morning" from a very energetic and enjoyable young man. We sat and perused the menu. Talking over what we wanted vs what we should have. It took less time to make our decision for our order than most food stops in our past. I ordered the Mortician with Pepper Jack instead of the American Cheese it was paired with. Our order taker guy, (also the energetic greeter) inquired if I wanted to make it a double. I answered to the affirmative, (with a sheepish smile on my face). My wife conservatively ordered the Thursday Special, consisting of the Morty's Iconic Cheeseburger and fries. After paying and sitting down, our once greeter/order taker now waiter guy appeared with a large bottle of pour-it-yourself Fry Sauce and a handful of napkins. I looked over the sauce and quickly realized I hadn't ordered the Onion Rings that I wanted to try. I quickly mentioned to our greeter/order taker/waiter guy before he disappeared behind the kitchen doors that I needed the onion rings. With a smile and a thumbs up he said, I gotchu. I asked if there was a separate charge and stood up to pay. He quickly interrupted my advancement with an outstretched hand and a more pronounced, I Got You. This, of course was not my intention to get free stuffs but I was pleased just the same. My wife quickly grabbed some loose cash from her purse and added it to their tip jar. Thanks Babe! Once again you show me one of the many reasons for my affection toward you! We sat and did some chit-chat, continuing conversations from earlier that day. Sooner than expected, our food shows up, piled high and filling the plates with our side orders, (see photos). I literally had to take off the onion rings that were part of the sandwich makeup to even consider the possibility of moving the Mortician into my mouth, (TWSS! ...if you know, you know). Im finding this experience difficult to put into words. So, I'll sum it up. Delicious and juicy and fantastic! For once, outside of a homegrown burger, I'm able to enjoy the separate flavorings of Bacon, Beef, (which I think is marinated), the jalapeño and the pastrami as well as the aioli. After a quick drink to cleanse my palette, I grabbed up an Onion Ring. I paused to reflect on my existence and quietly muttered, this is really good! Crispy beyond any previous onion ring order from any of the, what could be hundreds of orders of rings during my 59 years, and delicious. I savored every bite, licked my fingers, and made happy "mmm mmm" sounds as I partook of this fine deliciousness. We finished everything! Talked about how this particular Morty's has now been labeled a family staple. Our experience is not just made up from the delicious food, friendly atmosphere, free onion rings, and did I mention the delicious food?, no. It's all of these as a whole, bigger experience, making it a unique and favorite beginning to a new year. Thanks to you, Morty's and our favorite greeter/order taker/waiter/I gotchu guy, we both are still smiling from our visit. Thank you for the excellent experience. We are looking forward to our next visit!

Parking was a breeze, which is always a win during the lunch rush. I ordered the strawberry lemonade and the Carne Asada Plate, and both were excellent--the meat was thinly sliced with a flavorful marinade, and the homemade tortillas were thick, warm, and absolutely delicious. Their pico really stood out with its fun mix of cucumbers, radishes, onions, and tomatoes, adding a refreshing crunch to every bite. Our server kept drinks full and service smooth, even with a large group. Everyone at the table loved their entrées, and I'd highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for hearty, flavorful food in a clean and welcoming setting. I'll definitely be back!

    I feel really bad that I never updated my last review but now is as good of a time as any…read more This is my mom's most favorite Mexican restaurant, and although she was unable to leave her house, I could deliver her her most favorite meal on her birthday. Her favorite is the #11 Enchilada (she prefers them because of the shredded chicken and "soft on her teeth" aspect). I personally ordered one of their Taco Salads (Asada, because I love steak)! It was absolutely delicious and loaded in ingredients. We also ordered a side of their medium size French fries and they were cooked exceptionally well and came with plenty of ketchup and mayonnaise (just in case you might want to make "fry sauce"; the Utah favorite out of them). I had kindly suggested to make the birthday meal "extra special", and the employees went above and beyond to do just that! Got a few tasty unexpected treats along with the sweetest note that can still bring tears to her eyes! The attention to detail, friendly and accommodating employees, along with the freshness of food and good portion sizes is the reason why this place deserves over a 10+ rating! Thank you ALL so very much. And if you're on the fence about this place, I highly recommend that you give them a shot!
