Just to start this is a horrible place the waiters Don't even wear a mask and try to start a fight with you and telling you they're going to beat you up and threading you and not even the owner wears a mask they come to you to take your order and they get up all the way to your face there's not 6 feet apart and they don't even wear mask a Horrible Pl., I've ever been never coming back again

No, I don’t recommend this place unless you want to be yelled at and assaulted. The people who work here are literally so rude and with covid going around they don’t know to be 6ft apart.

So let me start by saying they got my order wrong. I got the wrong filling in my enchilada. Not an issuer for me. I over ordered as I generally do so not a big deal. The beans were rich and dark and the Chile relleno was really tasty I loved the batter.Chips and Salsa tasty as well. The service was slow but what did me and the wife have to do....? The server was very nice and made sure my order was fixed. My lovely wife said the margarita couldhave used a splash more booze. I will come back for sure but not if I'm a hurry.

The place is really spacious and nice employees, however the drinks are over priced and can't really taste the alcohol. I got a vodka with redbull for $15 is not even a high in place. I had been in other places where I get the same drink with more alcohol in it for $10 really over price.

Still on the hunt for good Mexican food. Our random travels brought us to El Palmar. It was completely empty on Sunday afternoon. The woman who sat us was very nice, but we did have to ask for lemons twice (what is it with OR and lemons? Are we the weird ones?) The chips were fresh and the salsa was good. Not spicy at all. We ordered a combination plate and fajitas. Combo plate was filling and the fajitas, tho salty, were pretty darn tasty! The peppers and onions were grilled very well Hubby even commented about liking them! Meals were served with beans, rice and salad. A little more expensive, but we got a warm meal before our flight!

Very gross food nothing Authentic about it my enchiladas were dry and were small tortillas wrapped up Beans and rice were gross! Kids meals were awful also ! The place was vacant and took a long tome for our food ! Had to look to find someone to pay! would not recommend this place

Margaritas and the ceviche was amazing. Server was pleasant and nice though I'm not sure she understood everything we said. They were out of guacamole.

Well this place is big! The only reason why we went here is because our friends invited us to go eat sushi and my husband hates sushi. So he didn't eat anything and this place was close to the sushi place. My husband got some tacos and a soda. A little bit on the pricier side and not really worth the price, we'd had better. I ordered a piña colada, that it tasted like sugar blended with ice, tiny bit of alcohol and whipped cream. I still drank it cuz it was expensive and that's all I ordered. When we got there, there was only a few customers and what I'm guessing to be the manager singing. They have karaoke! The guy told us we could pick a song if we wanted. It was free so we did pick two songs each. They have big TV's in different parts of the building so it's easy to see, you are just singing in front of everyone. When my husband was singing the guy started taking pictures or recording us I don't know why but it's ok I guess. I never do things like this cuz I shake a lot lol. But since it was crowded I saw it as an opportunity to try something different. The food is not the best in my opinion, but I would still come back with some friends to do the karaoke. Maybe I can find something in the menu I like.
