WOW!! Talk about exceptional customer service! Lucy is such a lovely lady, I felt like I was eating at my grandmas house. The food is amazing!! Very authentic. We ordered tacos de chicharrón Palma very unlikely of me to order chicharrón but I gave this one a try and let me tell you I fell in love. The meat is super tender and well seasoned. My girlfriend ordered chilaquiles, best chilaquiles I have ever had. The tortilla was very crunchy and the beans were so tasty. Can't wait to be back and try their famous menudo. Make sure you bring cash Cash Only!! read more

Came to visit some family out here so we decided to pick up some food for everyone before arriving at our destination and man are we happy we stopped here. Food was delicious and the owner was so sweet. Food is freshly made so it did take a bit since we had a large order but definitely worth the wait. Will definitely stop here again next time we are out here visiting family again. read more

Let's start with the pros. This place has amazing food! Hands down the best menudo I've ever tasted. I live 45 minutes away and let me tell you, it's worth the drive. The food is delicious and the prices are reasonable. The service is outstanding! Everyone is real friendly and helpful. They treat you like family. There's plenty of parking, and plenty of seating. It's kid friendly. Now let's talk about the cons: it's a cash only establishment and there's no ATM nearby so have plenty of cash on hand. The only real complaint I have about this place is the set up. It needs to be updated. The tables are made of pressed wood and therefore are sticky. They're clean, but sticky. I don't like that. There's another room in the back of the restaurant (you literally have to walk outside to get to it) with additional tables and chairs but the floor is basically pebbles. The additional room is made of wood. This makes the place look cheap. It's kind of a shame because this place has amazing food/customer service but it looks cheap and unkept. Great food! Great service! Give them a try. read more

This place is disgusting. Mold all over restaurant. Flies everywhere. I don't know how people can eat here. They don't clean menudo it smells so bad. I guess people like it here because they let them bring in their own alcohol. With the high prices they should clean the place up a little. read more

I'm writing this review instead of filing a POLICE REPORT. I was served a refill of horchata that contained a chemical in it presumably like a dish detergent. I noticed it immediately after the first swallow when I began to sting and get tingly and warm. I probably wouldn't be writing this were it not for the lie the older woman told me. She came out with a green plastic pitcher about 5 minutes after I reported the situation to tell me that the green pitcher was the only pitcher she used for the horchata and that it was clean. But I had taken note that the pitcher she poured the refill from was a clear plastic pitcher - because I was surprised at how clear and watery the refill horchata was as she poured it into the opaque styrofoam cup. So had she not come back to embroider her story - which is a common trait of those who lie - I probably would have left it go. Why it happened, I can't say. Was it because I questioned a charge on the bill (she didn't inform me of the upcharge for handmade tortillas)? Or that I hadn't yet left a tip? Or was it simple carelessness? Take your pick. BUT I WON'T BE GOING BACK. I would rate the food overall 3.5 stars. The beef was dry (though plentiful) in the caldo de res, the handmade tortillas were pedestrian and heavy, the first horchata was good but average, and the al pastor tacos were excellent. It's now 2 hours later and I'm still feeling the burn and my chest is heavy - fortunately it's not getting worse. Had I gone to the police or the health department, she would have just denied it. So I Yelped it. BUYER BEWARE! 08.22.17 UPDATE: I filed a complaint with LA County Environmental Health "MORBIDITY" Department (who knew?). This is SERIOUS to me. Fortunately I am much better today. But yesterday was fraught with pain from the incident, a doctor's visit, and much worrying (it's the only body I have). It actually felt like a scene from the movie Psycho, the old lady in this restaurant playing the Tony Perkins role of his murderous mother. It really was that strange! Trying to see some humor in it - but I'm not laughing. IT'S NOT SAFE TO EAT HERE. read more

The service is amazing! The food is great and the cashier is very friendly. I recommend 110%

Very, very good Mexican food. Don't judge the place by its bare/simple looks. I got an al pastor burrito and it was quite tasty. The cilantro in the burrito was chopped fresh (I could tell), and the al pastor meat was the best I've had so far in the AV. A super sweet and kind lady (I'm mad I forget her name) made conversation with me the entire time, and constantly made sure everything was OK. Granted, I was the only customer in the restaurant at the time, but she still was very eager to talk to me about her family's ways and practices behind their food. The restaurant also has a very unique yellow-colored salsa which tastes almost citrusy and possibly fruity, but the lady said it's simply their own special recipe made with tomatillos! I've been to the other Yelp top-rated Mexican restaurants in Palmdale and Lancaster, such as Tortilla Grill and Guadalajara. La Palma beats them in my opinion. (To be fair, Guadalajara is also pretty good, just not quite as good as La Palma). Overall, a must-try if you live in the AV. Great food and people both. read more

Nestled on the Pearblossom highway La Palma is a little hole in the wall that you would probably miss unless you were a hungry/hungover mess like myself. It seriously is grungy as hell from the outside, but do NOT let it deter you. My significant other and I were greeted by the sweetest Mexican lady. Everything in this spot is very authentic. I ordered the carne asada burrito and my SO ordered an assortment of tacos. I made my way to the salsa table and made sure I tried all three salsas. Our food came in a timely manner. We only had to wait 5-10 minutes. BTW - cash only. But if you have a hungry stomach, and 10$ in cash you would have more than enough to fill you up at this spot. Tacos were a dollar and change and my burrito was $5.75. We sat by the kitchen and saw an abuelita cooking away. I knew I was in for a treat. Let me tell you, the carne asada burrito was the best burrito I have had in a LONG time. What made this burrito special was the lack of rice and how flavorful the beans were. I don't think I will ever order a burrito with rice ever again. Their carne asada was very flavorful, well cooked and everything was very fresh. Their burrito was so flavorful it didn't even need the accompanied salsas. I loved the salsa rojo though. It was a perfect acidic and spicy accompaniment to the well executed burrito. The chicken taco was whatevs to me but the chorizo taco was pretty bomb. The burrito was so good I could've ate 2. FYI - They are closed on Tuesdays and on the weekdays close at 6pm. I will return! read more

Nice place! Great food, good prices, & wonderful service overall. Our neighbors told us LaPalma is one of their favorites & we've been going there ever since. read more

Don't go by the outside of the place. It's is the best mexican place in the antelope valley. I was a bit skeptical when I first arrived. I ordered menudo and cabeza tacos and they were delicious. Very friendly personal. read more

The chicharron tasted fresh i hope it was also home made... home made tortillas also good.. and the salsas wife gave them credit for that to... i will go again just to try the menudo...service was excellent read more

La Palma - Bro in law enjoying his burrito - Mexican Near Me - Palmdale, California

By far my favorite place to grab some authentic Mexican food in the Antelope Valley (without getting alcohol) lol The food here is amazing and always taste fresh. It is cash only, but it's definitely worth stopping at if you're passing through Littlerock or east Palmdale. read more

This is a jewel to have available at the end of Palmdale practically. The workers are nice and the food is great.

This is my first time at this place and I was very pleased. My husband and I came for the tacos but I ended up getting the menudo. Everything was good. I just found it quite pricey for the location. read more

La Palma - Love my salsas - Mexican Near Me - Palmdale, California

Everyone come here for the menudo, bomb. But I come here for the Plato de trocitos de puerco con salsa verde, With rice and beens it's super bomb. Only thing it's that it's super pack, so I suggest you place your order over the phone so when you get there the food is ready. I place my order to go because it's a small place I'm just a person that can't enjoy my food in a crowded place. That's just me tho. Tacos the La Palma are unique and one of a kind. Also recommend it. Really good tasting wet tacos. I give it a 4 star rating over all. The food is a 5 star, let me get that cleared up. Half point off is because they don't accept Debit or credit cards. Cash only. Another half point is because it's really hot in the inside and super packed on weekends. Weekdays are slow and normal tho. read more

This place is kind of in the middle of nowhere but its def a place to try out ! The lady st the counter reminded me of my grandmother and made us feel very welcome.

I finally decided to eat here after my friend kept talking about it. We went for lunch around 12:50. The place looks really old & needs an upgrade. It was busy which is a good thing for business. There was no room for us to dine in so we had to ask for our food to go. It took about 45 mins for us to finally get our food. Which is extremely bad when you have hungry family. I ordered a bowl of menudo & two lengua tacos. They also make homemade tortillas which is a big plus. The lengua tacos were pretty good. The meat was tender & full of flavor. The menudo also good but it wasn't better than my favorite spot. My son had a asada burrito & he said it was delicious. They also sell chicharones and of course we had to try some with tortillas. They taste so good with fresh tortillas. Overall, the food is pretty good. Unfortunately, it took way to long for us to get our food & we had to take it home. It's a cash only place so bring cash. I may come back one day. Definitely, not anytime soon!!! I rather drive to Lancaster & visit Jimmy at Tortilla Grill!!! It's a much nicer place. The is good & the service is quick!!! read more

The food is super delicious. Burrito de carne asada, and the menudo were awesome. Homemade corn tortillas with the medudo 5 star all the way. Felt like my grandmother who's in heaven prepared the menudo for me too eat. Only my mom in Texas can make it like hers, and this place is pretty damn close to it. I'll be coming back. read more

Amazing food and great service! Husband got the carne asada burrito and I got 2 asada tacos and 2 pastor tacos. All of it was amazing and this will definitely be a go to stop on the way home from Vegas/Big bear. read more

Menudo was great! I would recommend this place if you want a good menudo! I also tried the asada , and chicharrón tacos and they were OK. The place is small and super hot with only a fan blowing. We had to eat our food so fast just to get out of there and when we got out we were covered in sweat. The owner is super sweet though, she made us feel at home. I would rate a 5 if the place had better AC and if they accepted debit or credit not just cash. read more

First time here I woke up with a big craving for some carnitas so I made the drive carnitas did not disappoint have I had better ? Yes but these did satisfy my craving Little brother had some tacos they where delicious ! Now the biggest disappointment was the menudo so much hype and I was extremely let down for starters the smell threw me off completely it smelled like the tripe was not cleaned (not saying it wasn't cleaned my personal preference is them being over cleaned with no smell ) maybe I'm just not use to that smell either way that completely ruined it for me I would definitely not have that again but the tacos and carnitas where amazing I will definitely come back for that so much flavor yes a little pricey but you definitely get what you pay for !! read more

We stopped by Palmdale on the way back to LA and I yelped a taco place closest to us & this place popped up.

La Palma - Mexican Near Me - Palmdale, California

Asked the hostess, and then the waitress who were both at my table at the same time, about lard in the rice and beans. I explained I can't eat lard. The hostess was handing me the chips and salsa at this time also. It wasn't until we got our 2nd basket when the waitress says casually, " oh by the way, our chips have lard." I was pretty upset. Cancelled my dinner. No apologies what so ever from either woman. Instead the waitress was defensive saying she wasn't the one that gave me the chips and my dinner won't have lard. But she was right there when the hostess gave them to me. Claimed all restaurants have lard in the chips. This is not true. I've enjoyed plenty of Mexican restaurants lard free. read more
