Delicious food, outstanding service and great ambiance! We were traveling back home from Joshua Tree, hoping to find a good Mexican restaurant along the way and this was the gem! The guacamole dip appetizer was fresh and flavorful! We ordered combo plates with the following items to share and all were so tasty, highly recommend: Shredded beef taco Chili relleno Ground beef enchilada Chicken enchilada Rice and beans were on point too! And to top it off my husband had the best Cadillac margarita! read more

After wrapping up a backpacking trip in nearby Joshua Tree National Park, a group of 11 of us stopped at Las Palmas in Yucca Valley for a well-earned meal. It was Easter Sunday, so I was impressed with how smoothly everything went despite our large group. Our server, Carlos, was fantastic. He was friendly, patient, and incredibly accommodating, even offering to split our check into several smaller bills without hesitation. That made things so much easier for our group, and was very much appreciated. I ordered a horchata and the asada burrito, which hit the spot after a couple of days on the trail. Around the table, friends ordered a variety of combo platters, including tacos and enchiladas, and everyone seemed happy with their meals. The food was satisfying, the portions were generous, and the service stood out. If you're looking for a convenient, locally owned Mexican restaurant after a day exploring Joshua Tree or passing through Yucca Valley, Las Palmas is a great option. Support local - you won't leave hungry! read more

We recently visited Las Palmas and was really looking forward to a good meal, but unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. I ordered the chicken tostada salad, and the avocado tasted old and off brownish color and I should have sent it back. The shell also had a stale flavor, like it had been fried days ago. My husband had the chile verde with beans and rice, and it seemed like very little care went into the preparation--it just wasn't enjoyable. Given our experience, I wouldn't recommend this place, and we won't be returning. After eating there, it wasn't surprising to see how empty it was during lunchtime. I honestly can't even give it one star. read more

We haven't been to this spot since it was La Casita... Food was just as Yelpers described; bland and really basic. Nothing stood out, nothing was worth mentioning. Boring and we make better at home. read more

Excellent food and service. Never had a bad experience there. Promptly seats you and takes order for beverages. My favorite place to eat Mexican food! read more

The beer was served in a cold glass, filled to the brim. Mexican lager on tap. Staff was pleasant. Food was served quickly. Decor is fine- bright and clean. However, can't recommend. Bland. Where's the flavor?! Maybe I ordered wrong. My wife had a tamale. Masa was dry and chewy. I had tacos. Lots of food, but missing something. Seems like developing a great salsa would help. We didn't finish. read more

This place was a decent Mexican spot. I came here with my entire family on a weeknight and it was decently busy. The service was average and the food took a while to come out. The fajita meat was a bit dry, but the beans and rice helped with all the other sides like cheese and sour cream. A good and easy spot to come to with a big group. read more

Came here on a Sunday around 11am on our way to Joshua Tree. They had live music which was incredible and added such a nice touch. I ordered the pollo asado torta and found it to be very delicious. They also have a kids menu, we ordered a quesadilla kids size (which was very tiny) but it comes with a side or rice and beans. We also ordered the steak which was quite good as well. Service was fast and friendly. read more

Came here to eat haven't been in a while . Was a great experience wasn't to crazy busy, service was prompt, and our Server Carlos was very accommodating. It's not much but the fact that he took the tame to make changes to accommodate us on our order was a great experience. He could have easily said this is it, but he didn't just a small thing like that can turn a experience great. Restaurant was clean and not noisy so. The food was great. read more

This place lands right in the middle. The food is fine, nothing bad, but nothing that really stands out either. Everything tasted fresh, which I appreciated, but the flavors felt pretty basic and forgettable. The service provided by our waitress was subpar unfortunately. It was slow, inattentive, and just not very welcoming. On the plus side, they do have a kid-friendly menu with simple options, which makes it an easy choice for families. If you're just looking for something casual and convenient, it works, but there's definitely room for improvement. read more

The restaurant was roomy and the service was good, but the lunch entrees we got in our party of 5 were so-so at best. And one of us got bad stomach cramps and diarrhea which lasted for 5 days - a clear sign of food poisoning of some sort. read more

Unfortunately everything was very bland. Even the salsa they brought up with the basket of complimentary chips was extremely flavorless. Carnitas were very dry and bland. The beef in the enchiladas was tasteless. Staff are friendly but unfortunately the food is not worth coming back for. read more

The food here was really good, it had very great flavor! The salsa was sooooo good! The service was excellent as well. Our server was very patient and helpful at suggesting drinks. When we arrived, it seemed pretty quiet, but then the dinner rush arrived and the vibe was awesome! There was even love music. 10/10 will definitely be back! read more

This place just hits different every single time. The food is absolutely delicious -- the kind of Mexican food that makes you want to order one of everything on the menu! But it's not just the food. The vibe in here is really something special. Great ambience, the kind of place that feels lively and fun without being overwhelming. It's the perfect spot whether you're grabbing a quick bite or sitting down for a full meal with friends. And the staff, Super friendly and on it. Somehow no matter how busy it gets, the service is always fast and they make you feel genuinely welcome every time you walk in! Seriously one of those places you end up at way more than you planned and never once complain about it. If you haven't been yet, what are you waiting for?! read more

The friendliest, most affordable and consistently upbeat restaurant in the Town of Yucca Valley is even better in its new location. Dinner there on Taco Monday is a standing ritual, and it is perfect both for larger gatherings or a fortifying visit to the sports bar. It is one of the most successful restaurants in the Morongo Basin and there is a reason--a great mexu of Mexican food and service with a smile. They also service a variety of margaritas and a dynamite Modela Michelada . read more

Was a 9 yesterday but a 7 today! Place is chill and has nice employees. Seems like a local spot but don't expect real Mexican food because it's not. It's mid mid. read more

The food is good but if they ask you if you would like another beer BEWARE! it is 2to 6 oz's smaller for the same price. We poured the second one into our original glass and it came barely over 1/2 to fill it . I hate bringing riped off like this !. read more

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Good comfort Mexican food at reasonable prices, with friendly service. We were starving by the time we got into town, and we did a u-turn when we saw this place. We love our homey Mexican food and it delivered! It was well-worn but clean, and we were greeted warmly as we walked in. I started things off with a nice cold Michelada, which was huge (see my photo), and decided to get their Friday special, which was shrimp enchiladas with beans and rice. The hubby got the Vegetable Tostada, which came in a classic giant shell. Their complimentary chips and salsa were great, with light crispy chips and a decent heat to the salsa. We both thought the food was good and it really hit the spot. Service was friendly and efficient throughout. Their AC didn't extend beyond the dining room, however, so on the way to the bathroom I did get a blast of the desert heat, but overall a very nice visit. We will be back! read more

We were headed back home from Joshua Tree and were feeling Mexican so we stopped here. The parking lot is huge and I'd say the restaurant is big too. We had just missed the Sunday brunch and I was sad because it looked good too. It seems like it is a Buffett style with staple Mexican dishes and breakfast items. We were sat on the other side of the restaurant as they separate the two and we ordered very quickly. The food came out quick and the portions are huge. The chips and salsa were brought out first and the first batch is complimentary. The salsa was delicious and the horchata tasted great too. The burrito was good but I wouldn't say memorable by any means. I added a bunch of stuff to it for my own personal liking but ended up taking half home because it was so big. The kids taquitos plate was big for my daughter and I added guac and sour cream for her. My cousin got the torta and fries and she liked it and ate it all and the fries were very good. Good find but nothing we'd ever drive back out for. The service was fast but the server seemed so busy and wasn't too personable or friendly. The bathrooms were clean and it seemed like they were very busy for the Sunday brunch. read more

My family and I have enjoyed the food, service and ambiance of Las Palmas Restaurant for many years. I have ordered so many different dishes and never had something that I didn't enjoy. Over time, my ability to enjoy spicy foods has changed. The good news here is that Las Palmas offers both spicy and mild dishes so people like me can still enjoy almost all of our favorite dishes. Las Palmas gets 5-Stars from me every time. read more

Very solid Mexican restaurant with a friendly staff, ample seating, an extensive menu, great Happy Hour specials, gigantic cocktail options (regular sizes too), and -- last but not least -- yummy food. Easy staples like quesabirria and quesadillas are good with plenty of meat. Plates are great and their sauces are tasty. Rice is just okay but the refried beans are SO good, probably the best around. The shrimp cocktail is tasty but could use more shrimp. Chili Verde anything is my favorite. They also now deliver! read more

We walked in accidentally from Tesla charger, and were very pleasantly surprised. It was Sunday breakfast buffet, so we decided to try it mostly because we've never had Mexican breakfast buffet before. It was amazing, had all your favorites in the best quality.

New location. Way bigger than their old spot. Same amazing mexican food as before. Burrito is amazing, enchiladas as well!

It took over 40 mins and I'm still waiting and the person who came after me already got all their food but the gumball machine was cool I guess read more

Las Palmas is the slow jams you and your hyna used to roll to when you were just hijos. It's familiar, the staff is super kind and it's always a good time. The chips, which are what's up if you are true lover of California Mexican food, are crispy, thin and not oversalted. The house made salsas are dope and hit the spot. The margaritas are huge and dangerous. Make sure you phone a friend or get like a cab or (YO, YALL HAVE LYFT OR UBER? Or like a friend with a four wheeler?)...if you are lightweight like me, you definitely are not driving home. But, if you hit the bottle on the reg, you probably be fine with one. Like, I said, I'm a total lightweight. read more

The service was absolutely awful. It took almost 2 hrs for us to get the bill to pay. I will NEVER NEVER go back.

I hope this is the correct Las Palmas Restaurant - the one at 57154 29 Palms Hwy in Yucca Valley. My sisters and I TRIED to go here for lunch a couple of weeks ago. When we walked in, the guy seating people was on his personal cell phone chatting away. He saw us from a distance and motioned for us to go and find a seat. We sat at a booth and while he continued chatting away, he dropped off 3 meanus for us. That was the last of anyone we saw again. There were plenty of servers around the restaurant. Other people were being served, but no one came over. No one even looked over at our table. We think the guy who was talking on the phone never bothered to tell anyone that people were sitting at our booth. We waited exactly 10 minutes with no one acknowledging us before we just got up and walked out. Maybe the food is good but who knows? I never will because I never plan on going in there ever again. read more

Great food, well prepared probably made from scratch. I had carnitas burrito and a beer. Bay leaves still in the carnitas, so obviously cooked in the kitchen, not from a package. I ate in the bar, service was fantastic! Nice bar tucked away in a separate area, many TVs for sports read more

We noticed this place when we were driving because people were sitting outside. We pulled over and saw that the menu was completely posted outside too; so no need to go in the building. The outdoor tables were not in the best shape; but we found one that was partially shaded from the hot desert sun and a waiter came over to take our order. We were a little surprised that he wasn't wearing a mask at all! We hadn't seen anywhere else open and stayed because we were already seated & as I mentioned; very hungry. I ordered a Corona Light & my husband ordered a margarita which he said was really good. For food I got the Wednesday daily special which was a Chile rellleno burrito and my husband got the fish tacos. I have never had a chille relleno burrito before and it was big and delicious, enough for 2 meals. My husband said the fish tacos were probably the best he's ever had.....and we live in a Florida. I actually debated giving this place 3 stars because of the no mask thing....but the food was better than good and the service was fast. Plus the prices were extremely reasonable; so 4 stars it is! read more
