“Fantastic Shrimp Tacos. Asada tacos were Sudbury“

“We were redirected to the 101 due to the shutdown of the PCH and stopped for lunch in Gonzales, a very unlikely place for tourists to err... So we ended up in La Plaza bakery for a lunch made of perfectly executed burritos, tacos and tortas, a very helpful staff, delicious bakeries as dessert, all for a very reasonable price, which is always a good suprise in the usually overpriced state of CA. Well done La Plaza and keep up the great work!“

“GREAT FLAVORS
We came once before about a year ago while driving through on a road trip, and we liked it enough to come back and still really enjoyed it. I had the chicken mole and the mole sauce was really good, not too sweet like so many others. The chicken was tender and falling off the bone. My husband got a pastor super burrito and the meat was cooked and good quality (I hate dried out or overly fatty pastor).“

“After new management came the restaurant has really been amazing. The food quality and the customer service has vastly improved.

Parking: There will always be parking available.

Kid-friendliness: The employees are very kind. They were very patient when I let my son order for the first time.

Wheelchair accessibility: I’m handicap but it was no problem getting into the restaurant as there is accessible ramps.“

“The food was excellent. Flautas, fajitas, and quesadillas were all enjoyed.“

“Had a asada super burrito and 4 carne asada tacos. Both are amazing! Super fresh, large portions. Fresh tortillas made on the spot. It’s in a grocery store so seating is limited as seen in other reviews, but don’t let that deter you from missing out on the great food! Highly recommend!“

“The owners and their workers are such amazing people, food is super delicious!“

“Is stopped here after leaving Pinnacles NP because it was the best rated restaurant in Soledad. 100% happy- I just ate the best asada fries of my life! The owner is great, very friendly, and the location next to a park is great if you want to just walk over and eat on a picnic table. Recommend highly“

“Love this place! Can't believe I just discovered it. So cute, owner works so hard and the food is great. Burritos are massive and coffee is tasty and it's open super early. Nice little patio. Will absolutely be back, highly recommend as a better and more local option for a quick bite to eat.“

“If you're on the hunt for authentic and flavorful Mexican cuisine, Palmas is a must-visit. I recently had the pleasure of trying their chicharrón en chile rojo, and it was nothing short of exceptional. The dish brought the perfect balance of spice and flavor—just enough heat to make your taste buds dance without overwhelming them. Every bite was rich and satisfying, showcasing the depth of their traditional red chili sauce.

What truly elevated the experience were the handmade flour and corn tortillas. Fresh, warm, and slightly charred, they were the ideal accompaniment to soak up every bit of that delicious sauce. Handmade tortillas are always a win in my book, and Palmas nailed them.

The welcoming atmosphere and dedication to authentic flavors make this spot a standout. If you're a fan of Mexican cuisine with a spicy kick, don't miss out on Palmas' chicharrón en chile rojo. It’s a dish worth savoring.“

“Birria is very good, fresh tortillas and clean establishment.“

“Jorge is the BEST! He makes my tacos & burritos on point. I have been going there for 3 1/2 years & it's always pleasant. I have also had the torta & sope. When I tell Jorge I want the tripas crunchy y doraditas he listens & they come out just how I like them. Jorge your an amazing cook truthfully I just go when your cooking.“

“Pulled over here completely by chance for lunch and was the luckiest thing that happened to me in months. The tacos were the best I have had in my life. They got our order slightly wrong once but it was still great because whatever you order there, you will be impressed, and they gave us an extra taco for the error. Turned out they were closing and they locked up right after we left but didn't even mention it to us after we repeatedly ordered more tacos because of how amazing they were. Tacos and pastries were super affordable and way too delicious. Whole place was extremely clean and they had an amazing, clean bathroom. Worth a detour.“

“Came across this place on our way to Santa Barbara and the food is delicious. I had chicken enchiladas verde and it was delicious, plus their rice. My husband had the recommended fish dish with scallops, prawns, octopus & scallops. It was delicious as well. The sauce was a little spicy but just enough to still enjoy the flavorful meal.“

“A friend bought me a carne asada burrito from here and my honest opinion was the salsa on it was way too spicy for me to be able to enjoy the burrito. Then I tried their breakfast burrito (with potatoes) i also tried some of the bread and omg. It was delicious . I now come every few days for some pan for the family and my go to place on my lunch breaks 😁“

“I don't think I've ever had a bad experience at this Taco Bell location. The service is always prompt, and the food comes out hot as well. Easy access to the front entrance and drive-thru, with parking in the rear if you intend to dine inside. It's been some time since I've eaten inside, but the windows are floor to ceiling, making it easy to identify cleanliness of the lobby; so basically always spotless.“
