Sunday night is poor timing to go to a restaurant in Burlington or Graham in NC. Not so at El Palmar! They were open, fully staffed, and happy to see customers.

Best food, best service. Hidden gem in Graham. Our family adores this place. We've been going for years! Our three year old refers to it as "the nice ladies". Their sweet tea was the only thing I could drink through two pregnancies. I'm loyal to the fajitas but my husband loves to try different things on the menu and is never disappointed.

Hands down,one of the best restaurants you will eat at! From the servers to the kitchen is excellent! I've never had a bad meal or drinks and chips go empty! 10 out of 10! Will always be one of my favorite spots!
