Order at counter, seat yourself. Friendly and helpful cashier. Plate of bacon wrapped shrimp, beans and rice was massive, exactly the way I like it! Fresh corn and flour tortillas. Complimentary warm tortilla chips and salsa. It got busy as we headed out. I can see why as their food is filling as it is good. This is on my list when I am back in Shelton:) read more

Taqueria Las Palmas - Bacon wrapped shrimp, beans and rice - Mexican Near Me - Shelton, Washington

Came here on a date as it was one her personal favorite taco spots. She felt qualified to say this was some of the best tacos around being a Latina. She'd be right, the tacos were simply good. From the outside, and on the inside it isn't much to look at. Las Palmas, as well as the area look a bit dated, but the food is what counts. There is indoor as well as outdoor seating. The service was friendly, and they'll bring the food to you even though it looks as if might retrieve it from the counter. We kept it simple with of course some plates of tacos, and I got my usual asada tacos which were nicely cooked and seasoned. Tried some of the chicken which also had good flavor. I don't know if I'll find my way this way again but if you're passing through here and are hungry for tacos, I'd recommend Las Palmas. read more

This place was Amazing!! I had taco Tuesday tacos. My husband had the wet burrito. I would call it a smothered burrito. Excellent service!

Great food. Big portions. Quick service. Taco salad and enchilada plate are our favorites. Mui Bueno. read more

This has been a favorite spot for us to stop after hiking in the Olympics for years but the last time we went in, we were shocked at how much the prices have increased. Yes, I know, inflation is a thing but the prices went up by a few dollars for each item and the size of portions seem to have gone down as well. ' My daughter wanted a cheese quesadilla and they charged us 8.99 for it. That is insanity. It was literally two tortillas a 1/4 cup of cheese. We also didn't get any chips or salsa brought to our table, so I don't know if that costs money now too. The food was good but it is really no better than any other average mexican place now. We will skip this place in the future and head into Olympia. Its a bummer as this was a fun tradition. read more

The service is v ery good, this is a family owned business. I have been coming here for over 15 years and for sure the prices are higher now but so is the cost of all groceries and meats. I found Las Palmas by word of mouth as most of the locals have found this place. Our favorites are the carnitas burritos but if we are not so hungry we pick up a few street tacos. The food is always top notch and fresh. I would say Las Palms is as good as any taquerias I have frequented in San Felipe, Baja Mexico. And I spend my winters there read more

Best Mexican food in Shelton! I love this place. The asada burrito is to die for. I just wish you could get a beer.

Great food and great service, best Mexican place in Shelton. Burritos are good sized and the pork was nice and crispy.

I had a torta al pastor. It was about as good as a torta can be. Prices are fair for what you get (good portions). Service is friendly and prompt. This is real Mexican food served here. Do not be put off by the location or the outside appearance. It will be worth it This is another place I need to thank all the Yelpers out there for. I would never go into a place like this from the looks outside but wowza! I will stop by here anytime I am passing through and you should too. read more

Taqueria Las Palmas - Torta al Pastor. Recommended! - Mexican Near Me - Shelton, Washington

I'm a vegan, so haven't tried most dishes here. They were very good about modifying my order to accommodate that. Best taco salad I've ever had with beans (no meat or rice). Nice fresh mix of greens & served with lime instead of being drowned in Ranch dressing. I once also had their sopes with beans & veggies. Also tasty. read more

This was my first time in a commercial area of Shelton on my 1st trip, we tried Home Meat Service, which was in a residential area. I'll just say this, it was interesting, I felt like I was in the town from Rambo. Small town with a lot of independent business. There was no shortage of taco trucks and there was also a full-service restaurant, that had far less reviews, so we decided to check this place out. I was skeptical, because Taqueria tends to be low quality and like teriyaki places, all items taste the same despite the name on the door. The guy was really friendly, but he didn't speak English. I asked a coupe questions, but it was clear he didn't understand me. Since it wasn't a complicated transaction, I ultimately gave him the number of the meal I wanted and he prepared them for us. Pricing was a bit ambitious, but when the food came, it wasn't on a plate, it was on a platter. It was massive and I knew I wasn't going to finish mine and despite giving a pigout my best try, I only got through half of the food. So, let's back up, they brought chips and salsa. I didn't like the table salsa, it was really tart and had no salt. Even with salt, it was just to bitter for me, I asked for hot sauces and was provided two, one red, one green. The red was smokey and delicious. The green was also delicious, but a bit more mild and certainly a slow burn. Both tasted good on chips and complimented the meal. If this place was local, I might be a once a week guy. I'd certainly try other items. A better salsa would raise the game, but I was impressed with what I got for the price and although I understand they have raised pricing according to reviews, I've paid more for a lot less, so I am going to bless these guys with 5 Stars. read more

It was a toss-up between burgers and Mexican food. Las Palmas was well rated and we hadn't been here yet. We were impressed, not a great look from the parking lot, but obviously the locals like it. Our Enchiladas and Carnitas plate were ready quickly, they were served hot and we got extra salsa - everything was tasty and the servings were large. We'll be back here when we come through town. read more

The food is spot on. The salsa they served is really good, not too hot, with warm chips. Prices are about average these days which means more than they used to be last year. I went for the enchiladas verde, they were about as good as I've ever had. Service was prompt and we didn't wait long for the food. The place is clean and comfortable. The wife went for a wet burrito and she loved it even if she couldn't quite finish it. Highly recommend, we'll be back. read more

The shrimp tacos were very tasty and carne asada flavorful and a significant portion! This will be my go to for Mexican food in Shelton!

Probably the best Mexican food you can get in Shelton or even Olympia. Reminds me of what you can get in California, it's that good. Their carnitas are the best thing on the menu. Deep fried pork love! read more

Delicious food and great service. Everything was nice. We had a large number of people and they accommodated us. I an a vegetarian and I was able to enjoy the vegetarian meal they prepared for me. I would most definitely eat at Taqueria Las Palmas again. read more

I've been a frequent customer here over the last few years, but this time was a bad interaction. You order bettor you sit. We were the only ones dining in, yet the service was lacking. I ordered horchata and received it in a regular cup for dine-in, but when it came to ordering water, we were charged for a bottled water --even though there was a water dispenser which they could have easy given us a dine-in cup. We order tacos with beans and rice. The lady at the register, with no other customers, stayed on her phone and never engaged with us like checking in us, despite our table being right next to the register in-fact this was closest table to the register . The woman who seems to be the owner or manager--she's always there--had an unfriendly attitude. We didn't feel any welcoming or friendly vibe from her. Additionally, tipping started at 18%, which felt high considering the lack of hospitality. The lack of care and customer service was very disappointing. I hope they reconsider how they treat dine-in customers. read more

Great Mexican food that is not Americanized. Fast service. Low key ambiance- hey, I'm here for the food based on recommendation from local PD. Had the carne asada Torta (#3) with a bottle if Mexican Coke. Chips and a green sauce disappeared very quickly. Will come back read more

Extremely authentic Mexican food and a must try their too hot sauces. Friendly staff and ambience. Nice outdoor seating.

10 years later and it is STILL my "Go To" restaurant here in Shelton. The food is always outstanding. The staff are always friendly. The price is always fair. My kids absolutely LOVE going to dinner at Las Palmas. If I lived closer than what I do, I'd probably eat there every day; yes, it's that good. It feels like home. If I could rate it higher, I would. read more

Outstanding staff and food!! Wonderful atmosphere and ample places to sit and visit. My favorite is the jalapeño poppers. Super yummy read more

This place was so delicious. We are new to the area and wanted to find a great Mexican restaurant. This is it!! If you run warm, there's outdoor seating. Looking forward to many more meals here. Oh and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. read more

Food was really good and prepared quickly. Fun and festive interior with much more generous seating than expected. Shrimp were very large and not over cooked. Only bummer is I asked for no sauces and it was smothered. I'd love to come back and dine in. read more

We ordered 32 beef flautas fromLas Palmas tonight. So excited for them when we picked em up and brought them home and dived in only to find out that they are all chicken and cheese. Not what was ordered called in to say hey we got the wrong order and was told that's what they had and we should have been more clear on our order. I offered to bring the order back in to replace with the correct order or refund and was told they had no beef so that what they gave us without telling us when we ordered they were out of beef read more

Taqueria Las Palmas - Chicken tacos! - Mexican Near Me - Shelton, Washington

Our favorite Mexican restaurant in the entire Pacific NW. Authentic, unpretentious, delicious, and very friendly staff. We never miss it when driving thru Shelton. I wish we could say we have tried a bunch of the many dishes but we are pretty much stuck on the enchiladas verdes because they are so yummy. read more

Fast and relatively inexpensive authentic Mexican food. The inside is clean and the service is extremely fast. They even give you chips and salsa when you dine in which isn't something I expect from a counter service restaurant. The food was good. Nothing was exceptional, but everything was basically as I expected and decent quality. The green salsa could have used a bit more acidity/salt but had nice flavor and heat. The red salsa was good and while not burn your mouth spicy, had a kick. Overall, it's a nice local restaurant worth supporting. Check it out! read more

Very good place. We had 2 orders of 3 tacos adobada, full and flavorful. Chips and salsa are complimentary although it's a green salsa of which I didn't so much care for but my husband really liked. They have some red salsa in a squeeze bottle and it is good but so so spicy, just a couple drops will do. The lady at the counter was friendly and the place was clean and neat. read more

If the food is great, it really is great - burritos, taco salad, quesdailla, etc. However, most of the time, the quality of their food is not consistent - totally went downhill. If that happens, food will be way too salty and meat will be very hard to chew, I'm not sure why. Service is okay, they try to keep pace with you, while the ambiance is okay - canteen style! We still go back because again, if it really is super good, it's super good. We always take the risk since it's worth it! read more

I love this place!! Their carnitas plate is excellent and a perfect share. Their Chicken Taco Salad is great and Chas a kick. Red & green sauce offered with everything. Watch out for the red. It puts the O in HOT! Friendly and fresh. read more

Cute place I stumbled into. I had a taco salad, and it had radish slices incorporated into the mix. Loved that. Such a fresh surprise. Their salsa was also very fresh and delicious. Mild + to my gringo mouth. Great service and good menu. read more

Yummy inexpensive Mexican food! We go every Saturday for lunch. The food is consistent, portions plentiful and sauces are to die for! All sauces are homemade, the pico is fresh and flavorful yet the 3 sauces in the plastic containers are spicy, spicer and the spiciest with flavor not just heat! Ask if they have the roasted jalapeños. They will blow you mind! read more

This place is good, I order pinto beans and some rice (not on the menu) the other 2 orders were for classic plates. They know what they are doing. friendly, decent prices, and outside eating. Saw lots and lot sod people coming through for to go food. read more

Excellent dinner! Authentic carne asada tacos, rice & beans and chips and guac. Great food and great service. I highly recommend.

This place is very good for a little hole in a wall. It's closer to us living in Allyn than we would driving to port orchard. Great assorted menu and hard to find Menudo as well as Pozole. I highly recommend this place. My review is based on being a Cali family and I must say it would fit greatly on the streets of SoCal for sure! read more

The food is so good and so fresh! Quick service! I love their chicken tortilla soup and to go orders are a breeze

Las Palmas is a solid Mexican restaurant that offers tremendous bang for the buck. They did not scrimp on the portions nor the flavour, though service is spotty and the wait for your freshly made food can take quite long depending on how busy they are. When we visited, the restaurant was ~85% full and there were also patrons waiting for their takeout orders. It took ~45 minutes order time to having our first set of dishes brought to our table. To make the wait more bearable, we finished off two plates of complimentary tortilla chips with salsa. Tacos (lengua/beef tongue) - These stole the entire show, hands down. Tiny morsels of melt-in-your-mouth heavenly meat - what more can you ask for? Very generous tongue to tortilla ratio as well! Quesadilla (beef) - The entire dish was very well put together - crispy tortilla on the outside and soft inside, cheese melted to gooey perfection, steak grilled with intense flavor. The Pico de Gallo and shredded lettuce were fresh and complimented the meatiness of the quesadilla very well. Wet burrito (beef) - Same beef steak profile as the Quesadilla. I love that they cut the steak into really tiny bits so you don't have to exert as much energy into chewing while you are savouring the burrito and enjoying the explosion of flavors in your mouth. The sauces that make this wet is definitely worth the extra money compared to the dry counterpart. They balance out the intensity of the steak and expands the overall flavor profile of the dish. Flautas (chicken) - The only available meat for this dish was chicken which I found quite bland and lacking in flavour. They used shredded white meat which I guess works well for health conscious foodies, which I am not. I would skip this dish. Based solely on the taste of the food, I would gladly return to this restaurant whenever I visit Shelton and stuff my face silly with those lengua tacos. read more
