“We made a pit stop here to get lunch on the drive back. Service was fast and friendly, and we ordered a few tacos to go. No pictures because we started eating right away 😂 it was just good, simple and fresh tacos. The tortillas were really soft but also crisped on the grill. It’s nice that it’s inside a grocery store so you can grab water or any other extras needed for the car ride.“

“Absolutely amazing Birria burrito. The sauce was very flavorful and the rice was really good. Wish there were more things that came in it, but overall amazing and the person who runs the truck is really welcoming and nice. The food did take a bit longer than expected, but it was worth the wait. Also, there is lots of wind in this area, so just a warning it will be windy outside.“

“Hands down, one of my absolute favorite things here is the Torta de Pierna. Growing up, whenever I went to Mexico, there was a lady who sold tortas right out of her house. The ones here taste almost identical to hers—nostalgic, delicious, and as you can see in the photo, the cross-section looks incredible. The bread she uses for all her tortas (the Torta de Milanesa is another huge favorite) has the absolute best texture.
​My dad is super picky about Menudo, but this is one of the very few places he actually approves of because most spots don't cook the meat right. A few highlights that make their menudo top-tier:
​House-Ground Black Chilis: The owner blends and grinds these himself. It adds insane flavor to the caldo, but go easy on it because it packs some real heat!
​Homegrown Lemons: He literally grows the lemons in the back, and they are super fresh and juicy.
​Handmade Tortillas: Made fresh, which makes all the difference with the broth.
​A couple of minor things to keep in mind:
​Seating: Space is pretty limited inside. If you can, grab the spot right to the right when you walk in—the sun hits it just right and it's the best seat in the house.
​Prep details: You might have to pick a few stems out of the oregano and trim a tiny bit of pellejo off the menudo meat, but honestly, it’s not a big deal at all given the quality.
​Pan Dulce: The bread is solid, though the selection is a bit limited compared to larger bakeries.“

“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.“

“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.“

“A frankly overwhelming amount of amazing food and drink options! The staff are super friendly and efficient. I’m an out of towner but I can tell this place is popular with the local Soledad population, and for good reason! I’d recommend anyone try this place! Between the cakes, bread, pastries, fresh drinks, Mexican entrees, you’ll find something you like“

“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.“

“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.“
