Steak Taco
Hannah V.

Took a taco tour around town, and this place has the best salsa. It's located right in the middle of downtown where you actually walk into the bus to order. There are a few tables outside to enjoy the food or benches inside. The meat was very well seasoned but the tortilla was wet & soggy by the way they wrapped it up. The food came out pretty quickly and the servers were all very helpful and patient. My friend thought it was the best place out of the three we tried in town. The pickled vegetables on the side were a nice touch.

3 chicken street tacos

Las Palimatas is La Jungle in al old bus. It has very affordable Mexican food. Chicken street tacos were devoured by a 4,6,10 year old. I got 3 enchiladas, shredded beef, regular beef and chicken with rice and beans. Equally authentic and delicious. Check them out and eat outdoors in the shade. Very clean

Affordable good Mexican food in a fun atmosphere. Quality street tacos and amazing refried beans.

Carnitas plate and enchiladas verdes
Celina S.

Perfect for after a day of hiking and exploring! We ordered the carnitas plate, which was the winner, as well as enchiladas verdes. The carnitas was crisped on a flat top (key when restaurants do this) with a heavy pepper flavor which was a little different but good. The chicken was ok but overall a solid spot in a small town.

I initially had my doubts about this cozy place, but I've also heard that most of the authentic Mexican foods start this way, so wanted to give it a try. Ceviche being among my favorite Mexican foods, I chose Tostada ceviche. The flavor it had was just out of the world. The shrimp quantity was perfect, the crispy tortilla topped with ceviche was just what I wanted when I wasn't in mood for cheese. Definitely highly recommend this place in West yellowstone.

Chile relleno and tostada. The Chile relleno was terrible!
Olwen C.

My meal from here was just not good at all. I got the Chile relleno and tostada. Tostada was ok and relleno was terrible. It was clearly a sauce from a can and the pepper was pickled and weird. I don't know what kind of Chile relleno that was but certainly not good. Mexican food is usually always a safe bet, even in tiny towns, but this is probably the worst Mexican food I've ever had. I'm giving it 3 stars because I saw some other peoples boxes that had ordered tacos and to be fair, the tacos did look good.

Tacos!

After a long day in Yellowstone I was craving Mexican food and something different from the standard American meal. I stumbled across "Las Palmitas"! You climb aboard the bus and stand in line to place your order. After placing your order you wait outside on one of the benches and wait for your number to be called. Once your number has been called, you pick up your food from a window on the side of the bus. I ordered one shredded beef taco, and two chicken tacos. They came with rice, beans, a Mexican salad, and spicy red salsa! This meal was beyond delicious and also authentic!!! The flavors reminded me of Northern Mexico! The staff here is also very kind and welcoming! If I was not flying back home the next day, I would have tried more dishes. If I am ever in Yellowstone again I will definitely try more of their food! Cheers to good eats!

Enchiladas coloradas
Melissa G.

We ended up eating in Las Palmitas two nights in a row because every other place in west Yellowstone was packed and had over one hour wait times. Las Palmitas is uncomplicated, walk into a school bus, place your order and wait for it in the patio. Lots of people just do takeout so it was easy enough to find a table opening one night and the other night we shared a table with another couple who had extra seats. The food is good but nothing out of the ordinary. I was not blown away by the flavor or the presentation but it was fast, cheap and efficient. The Enchiladas are a safe choice !

Nachos Al Pastor
Sarah A.

Solid nachos al pastor, though the tortillas were not made fresh and there weren't any pineapple bits, the pickled jalapeños elevated the flavor and the red salsa had a great vinegar note. Order in the "food truck" and pick up through a side window--bench provided for a step up! Sit in one of the picnic benches (with umbrellas) along the side.

This is a Mexican food truck in West Yellowstone which serves casual food and is also run by the saltiest 12 year old girl I've ever seen. We came around 6pm on a Friday night while visiting Yellowstone National park. My husband ordered inside and our food was ready shortly after. When I came inside to get the food, the child rolled her eyes at me because she'd called our number twice. My husband and I laughed about it after because we'd honestly never seen such a girl. The food was just okay.

Inside truck
Sharon S.

Aroma was wafting to our nose and it was irresistible! Walked up to the truck , saw the boards of people waiting and got in line to order. What choice did we have? Lol We got the carnitas tacos 2,5 stars and also steak asada 2.5 stars. Sorry but Tacos were filled with extremely dry meat. With no pico de Gallo or a dab of salsa , it was hard fir my hubby to swallow and he ended up throwing the plate away.

Enchiladas Verde and 3 Tacos Plate with Rice and Beans
Rohan B.

La Jungla is a cute food truck just out side of Yellowstone National Park. They serve everything from tacos to ceviche all Mexican staples . La Jungla's service was very fast and the servers were kind but the service was nothing special. The ambiance was quite cute with an indoor seating in the food truck which was so cute and lots of tables for seating outside of the restaraunt. They had a concise menu where I ordered the pastor, picadillo, and pollo tacos. I got the taco plate so the tacos came with rice and beans. Overall it was an ok dish. The tacos were tasty, but the meat was quite dry and the portions weren't to my liking. The rice and beans were also ok. The pricing was quite affordable so if you want a quick spot to eat right after coming from Yellowstone this would be a good place to eat, but otherwise I wouldn't recommend La Jungla to others.

Cute place

The Falafel Spot

The Falafel Spot

Spending three days in West Yellowstone, Montana, I didn't conduct a thorough research for vegan…read moreoptions, so after leaving Yellowstone late last night many restaurants were already closed. I got scared because I didn't want to solely eat protein bars. I quick Google and Yelp search secured this falafel spot. I was shocked and didn't expect to find falafels in Montana of all places. Thankfully, the falafels are VEGAN!! It's a one man show meaning, the owner takes the orders and cooks the food. The falafels are MADE to ORDER, so the wait time is quite long. He takes two orders per person not to lose track of orders. I ordered the falafel combo which comes with six falafels, rice, hummus, a small salad, and a drink all for $20/even. Even though the card machine says $.60 cent tax, the owner won't accept and is firm about the solid bill. Now for the food: the falafels were very tasty. Savory; not gritty or chunky. The falafels are hockey pucks, not round balls. I appreciate the shape since they were easier to dig out the hummus. The hummus was not my favorite thing. It tasted like straight tahini with chickpeas. No lemony flavor. It wasn't gross, but the taste of tahini is acquired alone. The salad is a mixture of onions, shredded lettuce, and tomatoes. Nothing extravagant, but was fresh. The rice is yellow with faint seasoning, but it is delicious fluffy and cooked well. The location is a tad bit confusing though; if using Google maps it'll take you to the wrong Chevron. To locate the food truck, go to the Chevron gas station in front of a clothing store and next general store with the ice cream out front. The owner was very nice and on a Saturday night, he didn't close at 10pm like Google says. It stays open later. Food hit the spot after exploring Yellowstone all day. I slept like a baby!

I've had a lot of falafel so I know good falafel when I have it. We had the combo plate (very large…read moreportion) and a Regular wrap. Both were excellent and made very fresh. The guy that runs it (Alon I think) takes pride in his food and you can tell. West Yosemite seems to be a desert for good, healthy fresh food but The Falafel Spot was the oasis.

What an amazing experience! My family ate here twice and got different things each time. Burgers,…read morewings, lobster, fish and chips they were all great. 2/5th of my family is celiac and when I ordered James told me with confidence my families food would be safe for them to eat. Finding gluten free is challenging enough but finding gluten free food this good makes me wish his truck was in my town. He is a one man show so be patient it's worth it!

Avoid this food truck. If I could give it zero stars, I would…read more This was the worst customer service I've ever experienced. The owner immediately told us our party was too big. We arrived with our family of 5 and my brother's family of 7. Since I have celiac disease and this was one of the few places I could eat, my wife stayed to order while I the rest of us went to McDonalds. When I returned with my three young kids, the owner actually scolded us for bringing back McDonald's, even though we had done that to make his life easier. He also ignored the party of six behind us who had been waiting for at least 30 minutes and instead took the order of the group behind them (4 people). After waiting nearly 40 minutes just to order (there was only one party in front of us), our food was finally handed to us in a bag with hairs stuck under the sealing sticker. For celiac friendly food, it was above average- but it wasn't worth the hostility. There are plenty of places that appreciate their customers. This isn't one of them. Update: The owner's response leaves out important context. We arrived as two families totaling 12 people. After he said he wouldn't serve a group that size, my brother's family left. Because I have celiac disease and this was one of the few places I could safely eat, my wife stayed to order while I took our three young children to McDonald's. When I returned with just my kids, the owner told me to "get that McCrap out of here," not to use his trash cans, and later called me "a dick" to my wife. He also accused our nephews of scratching his table. We checked the table before leaving and found no scratches. After I posted this review, he publicly called us "terrible parents" and "terrible people," told me to "go back to Utah" even though I'm not from Utah, and later sent me a private message calling me "full of crap" and "utard." I've included screenshots so readers can judge for themselves.
