5 stars, authentic Mexican food with such nice owners served like joyful grandmas cómo abuelita. We ordered the tácitos and Burris tacos with a consomé that was awesome, fresh and tasty. No need to go to the bigger places this is home style cooking.

If you're looking for authentic, homemade Mexican food that truly hits the spot--La Palma is it! I ordered takeout for my family, and every single person was impressed--it was so good! The flavors are rich, comforting, and absolutely worth the visit. And on top of that, the owners are some of the kindest people you'll ever meet--so sweet and generous. They even gave us a little extra, which just shows how much they care about their customers. Affordable, delicious, and made with heart-- La Palma is a true hidden gem. Highly recommend supporting this amazing small business!

Carne asada burrito

My son and I were passing by and saw this place. So we decided to stop and check it out. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by the beautiful people within the establishment. The food is amazing and people are very hospitable!

Parking lot

This restaurant has two locations and I personally like this location the best. This place has a more traditional family vibe felt like I was home with my Tia's, mother and abuela in the kitchen. The service is amazing and food is delicious. The other location was to corporate and extremely rude and unprofessional. The only downside is this place is cash only and the seating is limited inside. Get your cash ready prior to arriving. The parking is dirt so when it's windy expect dust or raining expect mud but very spacious even for even trucker to park. This place tends to get busy so be prepared to wait; worth it! This building looks like a shack and a bit run down but this is definitely a diamond in the rough. They serve homemade tortillas and let me say it was definitely delicious. Bet you can't just order one serving? 3 nice size tortillas per serving very authentic Mexican food, reminded me of Aguascalientes, Mexico. I would honestly say if going off the various recommendations of either for or against this place to each their own. I personally recommend based off my the family experiences who have been coming here for years and current visit. I would say come in and try it for yourself it's definitely worth it. Lots of recommendations everyone commenting can be be valid and some nitpicking. Either way I hope the owners capitalize on some of these recommendations e.g. placing an ATM here more money for the business as customers might not to return and risk finding another place to dine.

Everything you want in a roadside taqueria. Fantastic asada, first rate service and a down home atmosphere. Worth a road trip on its own.

We had visited once before for dinner and loved the food, so when we needed a quick breakfast before work, we knew exactly where to go. We arrived around 9 a.m. and were greeted right away with friendly smiles. The restaurant was very clean, and we were told to sit wherever we liked. We ordered the menudo, a sopes plate with rice and beans, and a breakfast burrito. They also brought complimentary chips and salsa to the table. Everything came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The menudo was especially delicious and was served with fresh cilantro, onions, and lemons. The sopes were excellent, and every dish tasted homemade and well prepared. What really stands out about El Mora is the service. Everyone who works there is friendly, upbeat, and welcoming. Our waitress checked on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed, and we never felt rushed. The atmosphere was pleasant, with great music playing overhead. Although the restaurant was nearly empty when we arrived, within about 15 minutes it had filled up, which says a lot about how popular this place is. Excellent food, excellent service, and a very clean restaurant. We will definitely continue coming back whenever we're on that side of town. Highly recommended!

Baracoa Cuban Restaurant was an amazing discovery when we stopped for a lunch pitstop on our drive…read moreup towards Tehachapi. I can easily see them being a favorite in the Palmdale area. There was plenty of parking in this lot. The entrance is located through their patio, which can be a bit counter intuitive. We came at opening and the restaurant got really busy during our time there. Initially we were looking at the sandwiches because it was lunch time, but then we were going to a wedding that night so we decided to eat something more filling since the ceremony and speeches always delay the eating. All entrees here are served with black beans and rice or congri, and 3 fried plantains. My boyfriend had the Ropa Vieja ($28) with the congri and I had the Lechon Asado ($25) with the rice and beans. Our food came out pretty fast after we ordered. My boyfriend's Ropa Vieja is a Cuban braised beef. The congri is basically a mix of the rice and beans. This dish was super tasty and the shredded beef was so tender with the bell peppers and onions. I can really taste the red wine and tomato sauce in the base. I took a few bites but in general I preferred my dish more, and vis versa he enjoyed his dish more. My lechon asado is a roasted pork that is super super tenderrrrrr. It was so sweet with the grilled onions and it had the perfect amount of fattiness without being over bearing. SO GOOD! Love the plaintains too. I'm glad I got the rice and beans option because I would have gotten too full too quick with the congri. I barely touched my beans and only got through half of my rice. Both dishes came with this super tasty garlic butter sauce that I poured on my rice and made it even tastier. It was so good. One thing I didn't enjoy about the experience was the flies attacking us and our food. Since the door is open and connected to their outdoor space, it leaves the opportunities for flies to come in. We had to play defense with the flies the whole time. The service here is a little slow. Especially when I was trying to get back on the road I wasn't feeling too patient. I waived down multiple staff members too. Also I got hit with an undisclosed 3% surcharge for using my credit card. I only found out after I got the receipt. I would have paid in cash if I knew. *dislike* LOVE LOVE LOVE the food. Might be the best Cuban food I've ever had... and I've been to Florida where there was a lot of Cuban spots. Room for improvement with service, flies prevention, and the disclosure of the credit card fee.

Absolutely the best guest hospitality and food quality my family and I have ever experienced eating…read moreout. The atmosphere and ambiance of the restaurant is always lovely, fun, and lively. The food quality is spectacular! I always get the Baracoa Cubano sandwich and it never disappoints. The ingredients are fresh and organic with each dish I've ordered. Since I have allergies to ingredients used to preserve frozen food, it's always been so hard finding a restaurant with a menu that doesn't cause me issues--and Baracoa has never compromised with their ingredients! The organic quality of their food is something you'll taste on your first bite. And finally--the service is impeccable and I have yet to see such excellent hospitality at any restaurant I've visited, even in Los Angeles! The waiters are always kind, attentive, and energetic with their behavior and service. It's very easy to tell they love the work they do and it shows in their work ethic. In addition to that, the managers are always making sure we're having an excellent night and have transformed it to a level of service we've never seen! My parents and I went a week ago and talked to Daniel the Manager about how much we missed a Piña Colada from a closed restaurant which would make it in the pineapple itself--and he said if we promised to be there in a week he's make it himself. We came on Friday, and the joy that my family felt was palpable when Daniel came out with the drinks we've wished for years now since that restaurant closed! Honestly, I've never heard of someone caring for their guests so much to do that--truly everyone should visit this establishment and experience true fine dining. I don't think I'll ever eat anywhere else for a special occasion ever again.

The chicken burritos are juicy and well-marinated never dry and the vegetarian tostadas are crisp, fresh, and thoughtfully made, proving that every item on the menu gets real attention. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. This is reliable, feel-good Mexican food done with care. A true local favorite that keeps you coming back.

The one board has a sign telling you to "Please drive to the window." Thankfully there was no one ahead of me. Since they can't even start your order until you get to the window I couldn't imagine being second or third in line as my wait, after ordering, was 10 minutes. At the window I was greeted by a very friendly older gentleman who took my order. He asked if I would like him to add some chips in. I had ordered a carne asada burrito. It was very good. In addition to the rice and beans there was lots of meat. A good facelift and fixing the ordering speaker would them up to a 5 star.
