La Palma Mexican Restaurant

Nice little Mexican restaurant with a large selection of dishes. I got the quesadilla which is a combination of steak and chicken came with sour cream and guacamole really good

As we draw towards the close of another year, from season to season, Fall (Autumn) to Winter; and now that the weather is finally cooling in South Texas, I find it appropriate to review what has become one of my favorite beachy Mexican restaurants: La Palma. It is literally on the corner where you turn to go to one of my favorite beaches on North Padre Island, Whitecap Beach. As such, it has been my go-to destination for epic Mexican brunches before or after heading there over the course of this Summer.It has great food! Really some of the best à la carte Mexican brunch in town (this is still technically "Corpus"). From what I can tell, most of the traditional Tex-Mex dishes look higher quality as well. Since most of my trips here are around mid-mornings, the crowd at those times is usually big mix of both tourists and "Islanders" (folks who live here). It's lively and a great place to "people watch". Never a dull moment.The service has always been great, IMO. Even when they are super busy. Nothing I can find to complain about there. Worth noting is that they will accommodate without any sense of awkwardness (no beans, rice or tortillas - no big deal!). In short, if you're ever in the area or on the way to the beach, consider stopping by here. I doubt you'll be disappointed.

Amazing breakfast tacos, had the ham and the chorizo breakfast tacos with egg, be careful ordering two because they are large! Awesome service right off the beach so it's a must try if you are in the area. Also some of the best salsa we have had in a while so may have to come back for a to go of it on the way outta town!

WE FINALLY FOUND A PLACE WITH BREAKFAST TACOS ON THE ISLAND. It's real close to a cluster of hotels and you must pick up or pay a visit.The tortillas are fresh and the eggs were well cooked. The red salsa was my favorite. I've noticed an island tax around here. Just that some items are pricier on the island. In my mind the island tax keeps these restaurants open year round. This one was so worth it!!!

Food is terrible I came here 2 times first time Stake was so hard i couldn't even eat it when I told manager about it she get all crazy on me 2 time I I ordered quesadilla it was terrible as you can see in pic this place is waste of money i don't recommend it and won't be coming back again

Food was amazing! Steak Quesadillas in particular. Margaritas were nice and strong and very tasty for top shelf! Can't wait to go back.

Great food and service. The restaurant is pretty casual. The portions are massive. I ordered the green chilaquiles plate which comes with beans and potatoes. I ended up finishing the entire plate and it kept me full until dinner time. I definitely felt like a beached whale when I hit the beach after eating here, but in the best way possible haha. I would come back here again.

I couldn't tell if it was open or not. As I swung the door open, there was mariachi coming from the tv, beautiful brightly colored walls and just a few customers seated. It's a very clean establishment inside. My server was very friendly, offering me a half off margarita or draft beer as the special today. Chips were white corn and the thin ones, which I prefer. The salsa was too spicy for me, but that's just preference and I'm in Texas after all. I ordered a pastor burrito and a side of charro beans. It's been years since I've had a pastor burrito and I was not disappointed. Elated is more like it!I was traveling solo, so I was in and out rather quickly. I'm going back in the morning for breakfast on my way back to my landlocked home state. Do not miss this restaurant!

Great serviceReal Mexican foodReasonable pricing.What more could visitors like us ask for on Taco Tuesdays in March on Padre Island Corpus Christi TX?We would return another time. See our many photos posted for some delicious food.

While visiting the area, we found this place on yelp and saw the had good reviews. We ordered the taco salad, chimichanga, and a chicken nuggets with fries for the kids. The food was spot on! The steak in both the taco salad and chimichanga was well marinated and tasted amazing. The veggies were fresh, the horchata was yummy, and the chips and salsa were awesome. The salsa did have a spicy kick, but it was perfect and you can tell was home made. The issue here was the service. Even though they were all staffed and the place was a bit small, you can tell they were disorganized and the service was very slow. The staff looked like they were working all by themselves instead of as a team. The food is still amazing and worth a visit if your in the area.
