    Oakland Food Hall 2353 E 12th St, Oakland, CA 94601 Palmita is serving up a tasty Cal-Mex menu from it's commercial kitchen at the Oakland Food Hall. Also known as "ghost kitchens," Palmita only offers pickup or delivery. There's no dining room or "Palmita" storefront. The Palmita menu was created by the same people who created Ben's Fast Food and Umami Express. Palmita Website: https://www.eatpalmita.com/menu On Labor Day, I had a chance to try the Chicken Rice Bowl and the Green Smoothie. I chose "Silky Salsa Roja" as my sauce. The food arrived in a cardboard box. Which is okay if it's going to be delivered or picked up right away. I would of preferred a sealed plastic container. I added the sauce and mixed it in. The Chicken Rice Bowl is very tasty. The natural ingredients are evident in this flavorful mixture of "garlic, rice & millet, hand pulled chicken, cauliflower & red cabbage, taco seasoned corn and black beans, fresh tomatillos, pickled onion, cilantro garnish." Their webpage says everything is plant-based except for the added proteins. The Green Smoothie was a bit small for $5.95. But it was cold and refreshing with good stuff like "spinach, pineapple, and banana with a dash of lime juice and house coconut milk." Overall, a good experience.

    I'm really fortunate to have an employer that has a food program that supports local restaurants. As a result, we have an amazing variety of options daily. Palmita is one of my favorites because of the quality, variety and deliciousness of their offerings. Today's lunch is the chicken mixto salad minus the corn and bean salad. With the green Chile cilantro dressing on the side (I already poured it over the salad), the box includes tender juicy shredded chicken, pickled red onions, tomatillos, mixed greens and grains. It's delicious and filling. The combo of textures and flavors is out of this world! Be sure to give their shop a try so support this local business.

    My first time order here and I LOVE it. Looking for something healthy and delicious I found Palmita , the ingredients are fresh, cilantro dressing (plant based) add so much flavor. The mix of multiple ingredients some how taste so good together, I love the texture of it. It comes in a paper box and , compost utensils so 10/10. I also order a green smoothie (I craved it because The pictures look so good) and it was fresh, good taste without being sweet. I ordered it for pick up and it was really fast !! For sure I'd like to try more items. I recommend it!!

    Solid mexican restaurant. Had brunch here recently on a Sunday. Ordered the breakfast burrito…read more It came with chicken as the protein and was quite good. I would have this again. There was plenty of parking on the streets around here.

    I've been passing by Los Moles for years and never stopped in until we had a graduation dinner…read morethere for my niece. The main reason I never went before was the parking situation, which honestly can be a little challenging, but for this visit we found parking down the block and around the corner. The short walk after dinner ended up being nice anyway. We had reservations, although we did wait about 15 extra minutes while another party finished their meal. My family member pointed out they were enjoying drinks, so that probably added some time. The waiter was very friendly, attentive, and clearly trying to get us seated as quickly as possible. Water was brought to the table right away, and our drink order was taken promptly. I ordered the chicken salad and was pleasantly surprised to learn the mango vinaigrette dressing did not contain oils, since I personally avoid seed oils. The salad was fresh and delicious. Some of my family members ordered the buffet, which looked incredible. At first it seemed like too much food for me that day, but once I saw everything included, I started thinking maybe I should have ordered it too since it was only about seven dollars more. They brought complimentary chips, guacamole, and salsa to the table, and everything was so flavorful. The guacamole was especially delicious, and they happily refilled the chips several times. I finally understood why the restaurant is called "Los Moles" because their mole sauces are outstanding. I got to try some from my son's plate, and it definitely made me want to come back and explore more of the different mole options. They also offer vegetarian choices, which is great. Although I am very particular about cooking surfaces, my food is cooked on and in, the Mexican coffee which was heated in some type of who knows what metal, had a good flavor. It inspired me to re-create it at home. Another standout for me was the freshly made corn tortillas served with the meals. They were soft, warm, and incredibly good. I also tried the beans, which were full of flavor. Overall, this restaurant really stood out in my memory, and I definitely want to return someday to try more moles.

I believe the bartender noticed her demeanor and stepped in to ask how he could help. I told him I needed a table for one. After being seated, I waited for over 5 minutes while the employee stood nearby folding napkins and completely ignored me. Around 9 minutes later, she walked over to another table and asked if they needed anything else, yet I had still not been acknowledged. It felt as though she was either blatantly ignoring me or simply chose not to serve me. Overall, the customer service and attentiveness were very disappointing. I eventually walked out without ordering. At the very least, someone should acknowledge a guest, offer a menu, or bring a glass of water. Unfortunately, that basic level of service was missing during my visit.

    Well this has been a restaurant since as far back as I can remember. Yes, for decades!…read moreI think this is the one that may last! Inside is clean, colorful & spacious. The staff seems kind, efficient & welcoming. My mother turned 80 & on her birthday she only wanted food to go from here. Specifically, Suiza chicken enchiladas. I got their flautas & my husband a chicken burrito in a spinach tortilla with mole sauce on the side. My mom loved her suiza enchiladas. My husband loved his burrito, said their mole sauce was different than he has ever had. He ate it all, so I'm guessing still great! My flautas were pretty, one corn colored, one red & one green. My only critiques: the chicken was slightly dry & they didn't include guacamole like in most places. For the price I'd probably get something different next time. Yes, there will for sure be a next time.

    Came as a group for a birthday celebration and was able to try a bunch of things! The restaurant…read morehas ample parking in a lot and the place is not small but feels cozy and intimate. The ambiance is cute with a small closed off glass area of wine and two seater table inside! Our waitress Dominique was amazing. She was able to give great recommendations for wines and food. She also made us feel taken cared of and was friendly/warm. The food is a mix of mexican/euro/american so there were a lot of different options. Here are the things we got: Appetizers - Parm crusted cauliflower: so good, nice and crunchy but not too heavily breaded. The chipotle mayo was delish - Chicharrones: so light and crispy! They were hot out of the fryer. It had a side of a corn cheese dip that was so good and made it more unique of a dish -- must try if you even kind of eat chicharrones. I don't generally like pork skin but I enjoyed it regardless. - Hamachi ceviche: this is a large sharing portion with chunks of hamachi and avocado. Good but not a must have. Entrees - Enchiladas: very cheesy and overall a good dish but I would skip this. - Shrimp tostadas: large size shrimp and it just comes with two tostadas so I don't think it was worth the price - Barramundi fillet: The fish was tender and juicy. I liked the marinades that came with it. I liked this dish with the rice because it made me feel homey. Good portion of fish. - Agua Chile Ribeye: This is a must have! The ribeye is sous vide so it was soo tender and juicy. The broth was really nice to keep everything moist and flavorful. Because we were celebrating a birthday, Dominique made a dessert with a nice special touch. Will definitely be back again!

Unfortunately, the food experience didn't live up to the service. Charging extra for chips and salsa at what is essentially a Mexican restaurant (even if it's branded as "Southwestern") was disappointing, especially when the salsa portion was so small. Chips and salsa are such a staple that it felt out of place to pay extra for them. The biggest issue, though, was the tortillas. They weren't heated, which made them feel dry and mealy and they fell apart while eating the tacos. The steak itself was flavorful, but the tortillas made it difficult to enjoy what could have been a really good dish. I genuinely hope they make a few adjustments because the people there were fantastic, the drinks were excellent, and this place has a lot of potential.

On this occasion, we came here on a Friday evening, we had made reservations for 6 of us. I personally ordered the agua fresca-pineapple and the lasagna. We ordered 2 chips and salsa for the table and the others ordered, arugula salad, tacos de carnitas, mahi mahi tacos, hamachi tostadas and drinks such as the spicy tamarindo, mocktail and margarita. Everyone loved their selections. One of my friends ordered the chocolate tart and the chocolate was too rich for my liking but the mousse that accompanied it was soo good, very tart and tropical. This restaurant is on California Ave., no restaurant parking but there is street parking nearby, although not on this street since its closed off to vehicle traffic. There is also a parking lot and a parking garage nearby. Once you eat, you can take a nice stroll down the Ave. Check online for details but once a month, on Thursdays, the city helps to sponsor a Thursday Live events with music, giveaways and games. Even without the Thursday Live events...this restaurant is a must if you are in the area.
