I'm on a quest to try as many taco joints as possible since I got my new job here in Norristown. The first place I tried was Las Palmas. It's a small yet festive looking store front on Main Street right near the courthouse. It wasn't crowded and they had a tv with Mexican shows playing. I stopped in and ordered two tacos... one pastor and one tripa. They came out quickly and were served with a basket of warm chips with beans and cheese and two types of salad. The greens salsa was fresh and not too spicy. The red one was spicy and full of Chile flavor. My tacos were perfect. The pastor had nice chunks of pineapple and weren't too greasy. The tripa was clean --and very flavorful. My lunch came to $6. The service was friendly and fast and the tacos were great. I will definitely be back. read more

Hole in the wall in Norristown with delicious Mexican food. Stumbled across this restaurant when I was called for jury duty across the street. The food was delish so I went back with a friend. They agreed the restaurant was a Diamond in the rough and would definitely go back again! Definitely worth checking out if in the area. read more

Las Palmas Del Sur - Guacamole - New American Near Me - Norristown, Pennsylvania

The largest grouping of Mexican restaurants outside Philadelphia is in the Montgomery County Seat of Norristown.  There is even one section of town called Little Mexico.  One of my favorite Mexican restaurants is located right in the heart of town on the Main Street called Las Palmas del Sur.  It is a very good place to know about....especially for your taste buds. A recent meal at Las Palmas was a real treat.  It began with the usual chips and salsa ... but I was careful not to eat too many because I had a lot of food still to come.  The queso fundido was served piping hot a la plancha.  This version emphasizes a seasoned ground beef as much as it does the cheese and it is simply delicious.  But again I still had my main entrée to arrive.  My principle plate was an amazing Parrillada - again served sizzling hot a la plancha.  The beef and pork and shrimp were enhanced by greens, scallions, cactus, & peppers amid a light sauce.  To the side were rice, frijoles, greens, and pico de gallo to add to this feast. Of course I wound up taking much of this tasty dish home where I enjoyed it again the next day. The service was friendly and the prices are very low compared to other Mexican restaurants in the burbs which are much less authentic.  I highly recommend Las Palmas del Sur in downtown Norristown. read more

The very best authentic home made Mexican, eat in or to go, food in the area. We have been searching for a place like this and never thought that this small establishment would be the answer. Find an on street parking spot, and you will be well rewarded. Friendly owner and staff, clean and inviting interior. Excellent service. You won't be disappoint with the prices either. Lastly the portions are huge. read more

Las Palmas Del Sur - Good for three fabulous meals! - New American Near Me - Norristown, Pennsylvania

This place serves up quality Mexican food with prices that are easy on your wallet. Tacos for under $3. Hell yeah! I ordered the pollo and pastor taco topped with onions and cilantro. Didn't have to wait too long for the food to come out. Besides I was enjoying the complimentary tortilla chips and salsa (verde and roja), which many Mexican places do not provide anymore. The pastor was seasoned well and so was the chicken. Oh and the Horchata was delicious. Whether you're in the area for jury duty or passing by on Main St, be sure to grab some food at this authentic Mexican spot. read more

This small restaurant seemed popular with locals (now called "Patreon"). I ordered a Las Palmas burrito and guacamole with chips. The guacamole was flavorful and the portion size was hearty, but the accompanying chips were super oily, almost inedible. The burrito did not skimp on filling, though it was also greasy and not very flavorful, topped with cheese that tasted like melted American cheese. Overall, I was very disappointed with the flavor and felt horrible throwing away over half of the food I ordered. read more

What is this? I have been coming to this location for over 7 years. The nachos here have been the beat I have ever had. I think this is under new management and it has now been the worse. Never have I ever carrots and radish in nachos! Maybe if it's your twist it works but not for me anymore have years of coming here... next step find good nachos in Norristown . read more

Portion sizes are HUGE, Price is very reasonable, and the food... DELICIOUS! I love trying out Mexican restaurants and this is by far my favorite. Food is extremely flavorful and well made. We ordered tacos, queso fundido, tortas, burrito, and gorditas. Tacos were delicious. The flavor of the chorizo was amazing. The torta was HUGE! The burrito was also great. And the gorditas... DELICIOUS! The meat was juicy and the bun was warm and chewy. read more

Tacos have been on my mind this past week and we found ourselves here for a quick bite at La Palmas del sur. Restaurant's clean and servers are very friendly and accommodating. Chips are complimentary but I wished they were warm. For our mains, we ordered vegetarian mole poblano, I must say the mole sauce was quite delicious (for all you plant eaters out there the pinto beans are vegetarian-which is a plus!) the fish taco were just OK, it was battered and deep fried on corn tacos with shredded lettuce and tomatoes and a sauce on the side. This place is extremely reasonably priced and portions are quite large. I recommend sticking to entree your can't make at home! read more

I am a restaurant hopper, been in every single Mexican Restaurant in Norristown, this is my A number 1 in my list, I find myself coming back more often, meat are delicious, Salsa so well made (if you like spicy), but again love their meat, my fav is the "surtido of Carnita" tacos, its pork meat mixed with soft pork skin. I would recommend for them to make authentic fried chips (the one you make frying the corn tortilla triangles) But overall, 100% great... Place is very clean too and their juices are delish read more

After visiting a church nearby, we went to this restaurant on a Sunday afternoon. Pretty well packed with many aficionados which was a good sign. It didn't take long to get service although it was more than average to get our food. But it was well worth it. I had a Burrito Ranchero which was both generous and delicious. My wife had a Parrillada Steak Entree which she enjoyed. My stomping grounds do not normally include Norristown, but if I return I will check it out. read more

Certainly one of the best Mexican places in Norristown, Las Palmas Del Sur offers authentic Mexican food at reasonable prices. Day 4 of Jury Duty, and I'm back to Mexican, and I hit the jackpot. Las Palmas Del Sur is one of the best Mexican restaurants in Norristown. There's plenty of seating inside, with the option of table service or ordering at the counter. If you know a little Spanish it helps, as the staff's English is mixed, but they know enough English to make you wonderful Mexican dishes and good value prices. Looking over the several pages of menu with every Mexican dish possible, I decided to order their Las Palmas Burrito ($9), a flour tortilla burrito stuffed with chicken, beef, onions, peppers, rice, and topped with melted cheese, guacamole, sour cream, and two massive shrimp. The burrito is massive, something you can maybe even split with someone else with an appetizer, and it's really delicious. Everything was cooked extremely well and those two huge shrimp on top were a highlight of the dish. It was very filling, and if you're looking for great Mexican definitely stop at Las Palmas Del Sur. read more

Bomb tacos...really excellent. I love me a good authentic taco...so after reading reviews of this place I had to stop in when I was in the area yesterday. They did not disappoint! Ordered a trio of tacos...one Lengua, one Asada, and one Cabeza. All were good. The Lengua was spectacular. Amazing how a simple thing like a couple small tortillas, some lengua, onions, cilantro, and salsas can be so darn good. This was possibly the best Lengua taco I have had - and I have had a lot of them...in a lot of places. So tender, yet a little crispy on the outside from sauteeing...very clean taste...and great flavor. The salsa verde and rojo were both excellent as well...very light, and refreshing... To get good food like this, for the low price they charge...is a breath of fresh air in our overpriced world. Go to this place...give them a shot. read more

Ate here while on jury duty and loved it. The place was clean, they had a good selection on the menu, prices were cheap, portions were on the large side and free homemade chips/salsa. I ordered the taco lunch special with rice and beans for only $5! They were authentic style with corn tortillas, onion, cilantro, lime. I got the chicken and it was well seasoned. Beans and rice were ok. Food came out quick and service was good although English was mediocre. I will definitely be back. Took a menu home with me. read more

Amazing food and tempting lunch specials. The staff is kind and accommodating and the food is filling and pleasing. I crave this food everyday. It's one of my favorite spots on Main Street and in the core norristown district campus. Aside from needing variety, nothing makes me hesitate from eating here. read more

Best Taco place in Norristown and I've been to several. We started with the 8 dollar chicken nachos and our family of 5 was almost full from them. Little pieces of avocado and chunks of tasty chicken mixed with creama and cheeses. They have horchata the sweet rice drink on tap which the kids loved. I got 3 different kinds of tacos. The steak tacos were the best but all were good. read more

Best Mexican place I been to in a long time. Everything is fresh and good quality. Also very affordable and authentic.

Stopped by this family run joint during my visit to Norristown for jury duty. The girl was very nice and welcoming. The use of Mexican dishware and music made me feel like I was in Mexico, even though I was on break during jury duty. The food was delicious and fresh. Very authentic. It's out of the way for me, but if I'm ever in the area, I will revisit. read more

No one likes to be at the courthouse for any kind of business. There is a shining light though, tacos al pastor and carnitas. $2.00 for a taco! I'm in I had 4. Both Al pastor and carnitas were full of flavor and moist. I would have liked to have some chopped pineapple on my al pastor. The service was very good my waitress knew exactly how I like my tacos. I like mine traditional with chopped cilantro and onion, a squeeze of lime. These tacos come also with fresh crispy chips and two salsas and she also brought me some pico de gallo. I don't know if she charged me but the pico was spicy and flavorful. I really enjoyed my lunch there. I am happy to have found a great Mexican spot when I'm here at the courthouse. read more

This restaurant serves authentic Mexican cuisine. The very nice woman who served us said that they were from Michoacán, México. We found the food to be very good.

First time and impressed! The server Sonia was great. She was patient, friendly, and really helpful as it was our first time there. The parking was fine. It was street parking and after 6 it is free. The place was super clean and spacious. The meat was tender, fresh, and seasoned well. I got the alambre dish and it was amazing. My wife got the nachos and the portions were huge and enough to bring home for a second meal. The only set back was the nacho chips. The chips were to thick and hard and that is the only area we see that needs to be improved and that wouldn't have been a problem if it was just the nachos and salsa, but since it was the nacho meal that is a problem. Looking forward to going back. Highly recommend this place and it was greatly priced, greatly fresh, and an overall great experience. read more

One of my favorite go to for my Mexican food fix. The best combination of flavors and so fresh! The consistency of each dish makes a repeat for me each and every time. If your out just stop by. They are great people and the food is wonderful! read more

Absolutely the best authentic mexican food in all of Norristown. I have tried them all and none of them come close to this restaurant. Lunch specials everyday with plenty of food for 5 to 7 dollars. Had the tacos al pastor for lunch with rice and beans for 5 dollars. Needless to say it was amazing. read more

The reviews are all correct- 5 stars for excellent authentic Mexican food. Chips and salsa to start, both red and salsa verde. I had a bit of a tough time explaining that I didn't want any steak or chicken (no carne!), but I got a burrito and it was delicious! I think they only do bottled beverages such as soda or water, as well. read more

Not sure about all the rave reviews -- food was decent, not great. They were "out of" a lot of things, strange service.

Great authentic Mexican fare. We had 3 excellent entrees with excellent service at a very reasonable price.

Delicious and affordable local gem. Service was also very quick during work lunch hours

A little hole in the wall mom n pop type place, most likely serving food they learned how to make from their moms and grandmothers. Excellent food. read more

The food was great, but an incident happened in the end. I got a regular $10 entrée, a cup of water and a can of soda to go. I checked my receipt at the end and I was charged $10 for the entrée, $3.50 for open? and $ 2.50 for open ? (it literally said "open" on the receipt). I stared at my receipt because something was not right. I only had a can of soda and cup of water other than the entrée. I questioned the waitress and she said they were for the water and can of soda. I stared at her perplexed for a few seconds and then she said water is free. I felt that they had attempted to cheat me and I felt cheated so I told her to take back the can of soda. In the end I paid $10 for the entrée. If you decide to go, go but make sure to know what you ordered, how much the items cost and check your receipt. I wrote this review to warn future customers of course. read more

Freshly made, really tasty authentic Mexican favorites presented In an impeccably clean, nicely decorated dining room. Las Palmas is a treat. Don't fail to try the freshly made guacamole. The Las Palmas, fajitas burrito was fresh and tasty. The grilled shrimp topper is a nice bonus. We will be back. read more

Greatness. Always a blessing coming here. Good drink selection and their pricing is very very good.

Gotta go with a 5. Every aspect - but the food was SUPREMO! Went for dinner with a group of 4 - ate sopes, chile rellanos, sopas mariscos and fajitas. Fresh ingredients - the vegetables, the meat, the seafood - all fresh. The broths for the sopas and rellanos (yes, best rellanos dish we ever tasted) were amazing. Someone in this kitchen KNOWS HOW TO COOK. The young woman who served us was great, attentive and charming, checked in exactly the the right amount. Overall, a wonderful meal. Will go again - and soon! read more
