First time getting a Breakfast Burrito from here and it was DELICIOUS! For around $12, you get eggs, your choice of meat and 3 customize choices from list of ingredients for your burrito. For example; I got Eggs, Bacon and then I selected, Cheese, Potatoes as well as Bell Peppers and Onions. They have 3 salsas you can select from. I got the red and green. This burrito was superb and now I want to try different variations of breakfast burritos from them. That's how good it was. The cashier was nice. She welcomes everyone that comes in which is great. They have plenty of seating inside and outside as well. There's no drive thru, but it's worth a dine in experience. Very clean and lit up which is always a plus. They also had tv's so it's great place to dine in and watch the latest sporting events. read more

Located in the same parking lot as Smart and Final. Upon entering l, you'll notice the front counter with a selection of beverages behind it. Al everything from Mexican Coca Cola to Jarritos aguas. Tried the chicken (pollo asada) tacos with everything and a side of beans. Well seasoned and filling. They also have a fresh salsa bar, but chips are not complimentary. A must try when in the area. Ambiance is a quaint taco spot with minimal indoor and outdoor seating. read more

Recently, I have started to get the ceviche here and I did not regret it, order the shrimp ceviche tostada and for about $10 you will have a great lunch. Obviously, you can't go wrong with a California burrito or taco Tuesday but this is my new go to Mexican seafood place read more

I've been coming here since 2008. Though I haven't eaten here in years. The food is still as good as I remember it. My bean and cheese was fantastic. Beans perfectly seasoned and just delicious. My fiancee loved her Cali burrito with Carnitas, she said the carnitas were fantastic. We also got the dorito elite and unfortunately that needed some salt, but was still fun! The shop is small and most of the seating is outside. Staff is always friendly as well. I'll be back again! read more

My go-to item every time I try a New Mexican food spot is always gonna be the rolled tacos. Palmitos did a solid job--fried and super crunchy tortillas, the meat was seasoned well, and the toppings were plentiful (lettuce, tomato, cheese). I would come back especially for their taco Tuesday deals and their seafood options! read more

Ta Bueno!!! El california burrito de adovada y carnitas ta bueno Ta bueno Tiene buen sabor

We wanted to update our review by saying that they are serving up delicious to go meals. In addition, they are served with a friendly spirit, and there's always plenty of food. I ordered two Chili Relleno with Rice and Beans, and my partner ordered an Extra Large Burrito. We even were given lots of extra salsa; which in the past, they were very, very stingy about giving out. NO MORE!!! I point this out because my partner likes to have this with his meals, whatever it is. read more

This place has delicious food and a good variety to pick from. My daughter loves that they have various elotes and they are always a nice size. Last time, they gave us two because they said they were smaller corns but honestly, they were still a decent size each. I always get their albondigas soup. I just wish they had chicken tortilla soup too. Street tacos are also so good! The staff is always attentive and very pleasant. They seem very clean and are pretty busy with customers. read more

Horrible customer service. So we went on Sunday November 10 at 9:05pm and the girls that were there were cleaning already and getting ready to close. We were very hungry so we picked this place to try it out as our first time. When we were about to order the girl that was taking the order told us that they were only serving for take-out, not dine in, I was like "but you guys close at 10pm" and they just said sorry. I have never seen a restaurant that needs an hour head start cleaning. We live 20 miles away so what were we supposed to do? Eat our food in the car or eat the food cold at home. I will tell you this, I know for certain I will NEVER eat at this place. Horrible first experience. read more

Palmitos Mexican Eatery - The place - Mexican Near Me - San Diego, California

The best!!! Food is amazing and staffs are cool. Ceviche order with shrimp is one of our favorites, but honestly every menu is delicious. Burritos, tacos, enchiladas, omelette, soups, even a side menu like grilled chicken for the little kid was amazing. Definitely recommended!! read more

I drove 150 miles and was looking forward to a good meal and a quick stop to refresh, but this place was a complete letdown. The customer service was terrible. The staff seemed uninterested and unwelcoming from the moment I walked in. I asked multiple times to use the bathroom, and every single time, I was told that "someone was inside." It was obvious from the employee's expression that she simply didn't want me to use it. It felt like I wasn't welcome there at all. On top of that, the food was mediocre at best--not worth the drive or the hassle. If you're looking for a place with good service and hospitality, I'd recommend going somewhere else. Definitely won't be coming back march 22, 2025 7:30 PM read more

Friendly and fast service. We ordered albondigas, carne asada burrito, rolled beef tacos, and fflan. I liked that the carne asada was tender and flavorful. The albondigas was good and filling. The flan was different and tasted like part flan part cheesecake but I still liked it. They had a good salsa bar. Prices are fair and it's open until 11pm. We had a good first visit here. read more

We've been going here for about three years. As a family, everyone finds something they love on the menu, and there's never any food left over The prices are very reasonable, and the customer service is on point. We just had lunch there today. It's my bday tomorrow, so we went there to celebrate. I got my usual - chicken street tacos. Delicious today and every other time I've had them there. We love Palmitos in Clairemont. Just wish they would sell their tee shirts (they are only for the staff). read more

I love coming here for taco Tuesday! Where can you find a taco shop selling tacos for less than $2 anymore?? You can find that here though (as of 1/30/24)! Their taco Tuesday menu doesn't include carne asada but I really enjoy their cabeza, tripe, adobada, and fish. The cabeza has a nice mixture of fat and meat and the cilantro/onion mix on top adds a nice crunch and freshness to every bite. They also provide a lime or two, to cut through the unctuousness. I really like that you have an option of either nacho cheese or shredded cheese for your nachos or fries. We've opted for the nacho cheese before and it's a gooey delicious mess. I've gotten their albondigas and menudo and the broth is light but the meat is so good! The caldo de res is similar to albondigas, with the exception of sliced beef instead of the beef meatballs but the soup is probably the same. The menudo has a plethora of hominy and tripe pieces. The tripe tastes and feels like it's been cooking for hours, and it's not stinky haha We've been coming here every weekend for the last month or two and it's one of our favorites! read more

I normally like this location as their carne asada burritos are very good, but I decided to get their california burrito recently. I didn't realize that there was sour cream, and asked if I can have it remade. The head chef/owner (I believe) told me that since I didn't ask for the sour cream to be removed, I can't have it remade. Then, I asked for a refund instead and they still would not accommodate me. Also, throughout the interaction, I feel like the staff had an attitude when talking to me and genuinely thought I was stupid for asking. I spent $15 for a burrito that I did not end up eating, so I caution others to stay away from this place because you should spend your hard earned money at a place that will respect it. read more

This place has really good food all around, but service has room for improvement. They are so stingy with their sauces haha

I've ordered a burrito here, and I noticed that the prices went up, understandably since minimum wage has gone up, so will the price. Not just the price, I've also noticed the food is smaller in portions, ok.. However; the staff are friendly and the food still tastes great. (Why I give it a 4/5*) I remember coming here ordering the same burrito, and I usually get really full from one, and now I have room for more. After visiting other Mexican food establishments and you want a really good burrito in terms of price, portion, and quality. A place called Vallarta Express Mexican Eatery at Genesee Ave is where it's at. read more

Small cute Mexican food shop. About 4 tables inside but they also have a nice outdoor area. They also have a nice self serve sauce bar inside with a delicious spicy habanero sauce. We usually come here on Tuesdays for their taco Tuesday deal. $1.89 tacos! I love their cabeza, buche, and fish tacos. Service is always friendly and quick! Definitely check this place out if you're in the area. read more

Freaky tasty burrito. Bacon, egg, cheese, beans, and hashbrown. Woman at counter was very nice and considerate. Highly recommend getting hashbrowns in the breakfast burrito vs other forms of potato. I don't use salsas but the addition of beans made the burrito extra moist and delicious! Eggs were cooked perfectly they were like- really fluffy! Also, the bathroom was SUPER clean and smelled amazing. read more

Nice hole in the wall taco shop had a very good deal on Taco Tuesday 2 bucks a pop for quality tacos. I went with the adobada and pollo asado these aren't life changing perfection tacos but they for sure get the job done and for the right price. Nice hot salsa too for to go orders, if you eat there they have a salsa bar. I was so hungry I forgot to snap a pic of my tacos but I assure you they weren't rinky dinky discount tacos because it was Tuesday. read more
