The tortas there are amazing. The ice cream taste authentic and amazing. The service is fast and good. Very friendly people.

First time ordering form here, I ordered a torta cubana and it do not disappoint it was so good, highly recommended this place, service is amazing definitely worth going back read more

Truly love trying new places when it comes to Bionicos and frutas and all of that jazz. The thing about this place is the fact that it has ESQUITES! Corn in a cup' yum yum! Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon. It was pretty busy and it's pretty fast paced. Ladies are not too nice and friendly and can seem kind of stuck up while taking your order. Hence the three stars. Anyways, bionicos are pretty okay. They seem to be a bit flavorless but the raspados are pretty darn good. Esquites are also a plus! Super yummy. If you're looking for a snack and feel like having something fruity, this place is a good place to go. It has a variety of items on the menu which is also a plus. read more

There are a lot of Mexican fruit and raspado shops in LA and I've tried quite a few my 10 years living here but I must say that Las Palmitas Fruit is the best when it comes to Raspados, they make the best tasting ones in my opinion. This place has been around for quite some time, the first time I visited was back in 2011 when I was only visiting LA as my food friend raved about their Mangoneadas and would drive all the way from South LA to get them here because according to her they were the best ones and she was right, Las Palmitas has always done a solid Mangoneada. But I would have to say my absolute favorite thing here is their Raspados which you can combine flavors on! I always get the Coco-Nuez raspado which is their coconut and walnut flavored raspado. It's amazing! So rich! And I love that they use real fresh coconut as opposed to other places that I've tried where they use the dry shredded coconut. They also throw in huge fresh coconut chunks at the top for your enjoyment and pieces of walnuts at the bottom yum! I've also had their Tamarind raspado and their Lemon raspado and both have been great, immediately transported me back to the paleterias in Mexico. Very authentic flavors. Also a plus- they have a decent size parking lot in the back which is great for being in such a busy area of Downey. Overall I would highly recommend Las Palmitas fruit for really good Mangoneadas and Raspados! read more

Went to pick up flowers at the flower shop next door and went here for an afternoon treat. Their smoothies are delicious! I had the pina colada which was so good, just wish it came in a smaller size because it eventually gave me a sugar headache. Husband got a strawberry banana smoothie which was perfect. Everyone was practicing social distancing on the day I was there and everyone had gloves and masks on for the workers. read more

I can't believe the people that work here! They are Rude and do not belong in customer service. They are not very nice, if you ask for an extra fork or even extra napkins and god forbid you have to repeat the order to them. I like the fruits, raspados and food but the behavior of the staff is not cool at all and not very welcoming. I hope they hire staff who are friendly soon. From reading their reviews I'm not the only one that's gotten rude staff before. Come with a thick skin if you decide to pick up something from this business. The two stars are for the food the staff gets zero stars. read more

No hygiene whatsoever!!! The lady making my raspado didn't wash her hands before handling my item, then grabbed the straw and pecans with her bare hands to put them inside. She didn't even bother putting gloves on. read more

Always real good. Line moves fast. Tons of choices for Mexican treats. Love this place.

Come almost every other day and the service is always bad. No one smiles. No one greets you. Customer service sucks. Today of all days was worst. I ask for an extra plate because I have 2 kids that won't eat a whole tray and wanted them to share one but not from same plate and they said no. I asked the girl kindly to ask manager and she asked another lady and the other lady's attitude was worst. So anytime places that sell fruit with better customer service. So sad. Lost a customer read more

If you love mexican treats and snacks, this place is definitely for you!! raspados, mexican ice cream, tostilocos, esquites, tortas, you name it!! the line can get pretty long BUT it does move faurly fast!! their biónicos are so good!! the crema they use is a perfect consistency and it is not too sweet! the fruit they use for it is also fresh their esquites (corn in a cup) are the best ones i've had! every time i buy one i always compare them to the ones from this place because they have the best esquites! cooked and asado are the two options they have if you get a raspado you can also add lechera on top for free there are so many things to try so i'll definitely be coming back for more! read more

I was in the mood for some fruit and a chamango, so we stopped in at Las Palmitas Fruit, it was the closest place I could find and I'm always up for trying new places. The menu has a lot to choose from which made my decision making difficult. Everything looked so tasty!! I ended up ordering the "Diablito" and tunas which are my favorite. The Diablito was OK, not what I expected. I was a little disappointed with the taste and the fact that they use ice instead of real fruit and ice for the base. It was more like a slushie. The best part of the drink was the chunks of mango on top. The Tunas were fresh and DELICIOUS, I will definitely go back for those. Tip: The Happy Fruit on Pioneer has DELICIOUS drinks, I would recommend giving them a try. read more

I placed a large tray of fruit, at the time of purchase I asked if chamoy was included the cashier contacted and confirmed it would be. When I went to pick up the order it was not included I told them I didn't need a whole bottle half of a small cup would suffice. They said they could not give me that much. They offered to give me five lil cups, that would not be enough for the size of tray I purchased. I explained I would meet them have way. They were completely unwilling to resolve for a solution. read more

I've been coming here for years. However, these last times the service has been horrible! Dirty tables and floors. We asked to add pecans on a raspado de nuez and they denied it never mind that I paid $50.25 for seven raspados and a scoop of ice cream. We are the customers and they should accommodate to us especially if they have been doing nuez for years. I will let my friends and family not to come here!!! read more

Everything is fresh and good. The service is fast and the employees are nice. But I must warn, if you order the esquite please be aware that the chile is really spicy. And the price is great. More economical than biónicos plus up the street read more

my friend bought two raspados from here first time there. He got lime and I got strawberry. One taste and it was was too sweet!! They put some milk crap inside the strawberry one. I didn't like. It taste likes nestle quick with ice. it's too sweet it will give you a diabetic attack. I don't recommend them. Gross! read more

RUDE STAFF!!! The lady raising her voice and continues to debate with customers. I TRULY wish I would have taken a photo of the orders they originally tried giving us. Half filled fruit container and smoothies. A bummer I really enjoyed coming here. I had stopped coming bc they blended a part of the plastic spoon in our smoothie a while ago and we went back and they were apologetic but this is a bit much. read more

Fruit quality and smoothies are pretty good. The esquite is mediocre, I guess nothing compares to the neighborhood corn man.

Been coming here for so long I've noticed that the tamales have changed it's very smooth no bits of corn anymore and the pistachio ice cream has no bits of the pistachio anymore that was the best part read more

Well Covid 19 is going and on their Facebook and website it says that we can order over the phone. The lady picked up and told me she has a customer ahead of me. After hearing her go through 6 orders on 6 different people I called back and she told me that the line is too long so I need to hold until she clears this very long line. Time wasted and lied to also. Won't ever come back here again. I also hear a ton of people in the background so am sure that social distancing is irrelevant anyways. read more

I went in and everything looked super delicious. I ordered an esquite cosido with a mangoneada. When I went to pick up my order, they gave me everything except for my esquite! I was like hey I think you forgot to make my esquite and the ladies all got mad EVEN THE ONE THAT TOOK MY ORDER SAID I NEVER ORDERED AN ESQUITE?? They even got mad when I asked for it. I had to go back to the back of the line and order it all over again. They charged me $10 for asking for extra mayo and cheese. The lady even rolled her eyes at me and charged me an extra $2 for the tiny mf cups.... When I got my esquite it was hard and flavorless. The mango inside my drink was hard and with so much salt ?? Rudeeeee customer service and the food isn't worth it. read more

Las Palmitas Fruit - Esquites cosido - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Downey, California

Definitely not the same as it was when it started humbly seems like they sold it to other owners once they got fame and fortune. Still high volume or waves of people who come in and don't have enough staff which then means sloppy product. I'd go else where for your cravings. read more

Food: I had a small bionico and a small bowl of elote. Mind you I haven't been here in yours and it taste just like a remember. Everything taste fresh and I feel like they use juicy fruits! My gf had the bowl of elote and it was the sweet and salty combination of the heavens! Definitely give it a try. Location/atmosphere: They definitely expanded and it looks much bigger, colorful and cleaner from the last time I've been here. Lots of parking on the back, and in the streets. You walk in and you immediately smell the sweetness and all the different things they have in there. Overall: I've been craving this place for awhile and I am glad I crossed this off my cravings list! Definitely give it a try if you are looking for something sweet, nutritious and h read more

The sopes, the nachos, the tacos, and bionicos are things I've had and I enjoy very much. The only thing is the attitudes they have, I avoid going sometimes just to avoid attitude. read more

Service sucks they charged me twice, gave away my food to the wrong customer and made me wait an extra 30 minutes just to remake it first and last time coming to this trashy as food place then I get my food and the torta is burnt read more

this is my FAVE spot for sure slept on... the esquites asado, the gelatinas de leche, the agua de horchata & de fresa , the chamango, the ice cream (i mix chocolate with mamey), the tamal de elote preparado. everything is to love about them. The workers are all latinos so you know they get to it on a busy day & yea sometimes they mess up but nothing that can not be solved. they have other locations too but this one is the best ! I didn't want to review because it already gets long lines lmao but 3 stars makes no sense. I don't find it expensive either. read more

OH EM GEE! This is literally what I crave on every hot and sunny day! Fresh mangos, delicious soft mango sorbet, tajin and chamoy allll in one cup. Soooo refreshing. Hits the spot every single time. It's a huge serving and when I'm not feeling like a fatty, it's honestly enough to be shared between two people. The cherry on top of it all is the price..super affordable for a huge quality chamango! read more

Horrible costumer service , first when I arrived they literally ignored me in the line for 20 min... then they were so rude about everything... not coming back read more

I've given this place multiple chances and have been dissapointed every time. The elotes are consistently under cooked. The ones you buy off a cart are better. And they use Tajin on the elote. WTH is that? It just adds a weird sour taste to it. And they use fake lime juice on the fruita and limonade. This one drives me crazy! Even the carts on street corners use real limes. Do yourself a favor, just find yourself a street vendor instead of going to this place. And the service is not great. The cashiers always seem in a bad mood. read more

Apparently there's 3 different closing times: what the paper posted inside of the store says (9:00pm), what google says (9:45pm), and what the employees say when you walk in (9:00pm). And this has happened twice now that 15-20 min before closing we are refused service because they're "closed at 9:00". Pretty disappointed in the inconsistency. Seems like the employees are changing the close time for their benefit. We started going to Bionicos Plus down the street...they're open till 10pm and actually stay open. read more

I've been coming to this place for a while now and their quality has really depreciated really disappointing it's not that cheap either for their quality to be this low read more

Update: It's been a lil bit over a year since I've been here & although I said I wouldn't come back I'm all about 2nd chances. Sometimes even 3rd & 4th chances too. That being said, I stopped here on Friday on my way to work. I will say that the ladies behind the counter seemed a bit more happy & less bitchy about being there. Their faces & attitude towards the customer was what chased me away. The drinks & Fresas con Crema were the BOMB as always so I guess I will be coming back. I will always be skeptical about them but willing to try them out again. I'll keep you guys posted. read more

I've been coming to Las Palmitas for while now. I'm very disappointed with the quality of there food. I'm not sure if they are under a new ownership. I have attached a picture of there chicken torta, avocado was brown and bad. I can't believe they would allow there cook to use a bad avocado. In the past they only used nice green avocados. Chicken was also dry and had no flavor. Bread was soggy. I'm very disappointed I really liked this place. And not to mention prices also went up. Which I totally understand, but please use good quality food... read more

Don't orders Esquite ... corn isn't fully cooked and the cheese is gross The other day I orders a fruit bowl and the older lady who looked like she wanted to be 21 so bad had a nasty attitude like if she was to good for everyone ... I said no chile just limon y sal and she gave me extra chile ... I tired to try again today and the esquite was so disappointing. read more

I have been coming to eat at this place since the day they opened. Yes, the ladies can be rude at times cashier/cooks and I have brushed it off and still gave them my business. But Sunday we went to purchase (2) torta Milanesa and my husband and I got food poisoning. Never again will we come to this place! read more

How often do they check their supply??? This place use to be the place my family and I would always go on a hot day or to get something savory, but that has changed over the years. This was definitely the last straw!! DISAPPOINTMENT. read more
