I first tried El Palmar because it had some of the best ratings on DoorDash. My dine-in experiences were also very pleasant.I usually order the Supreme Burrito. Idk what it is, but the burritos here are stellar and so moist and tasty. Hands down, the best burritos in Merced.El Palmar was also one of the first places to offer Birria in Merced. I have always enjoyed their Birria Tacos and would highly recommend. They also have Birria ramen too if you'd like to try it.The restaurant is pretty clean and has plenty of parking. If not, you can go park in the Chevron area next door. When dining in, they'll give you some chips and salsa. They do have beer available for dine-in. They don't have a self-serve salsa bar so you'll have to ask the cashier for all of your condiments (salsa, lime, etc). This is my favorite Mexican joint and has never let me down! Come enjoy!

While passing through Merced, I looked up top rated Mexican spots and boy did this place not disappoint! Don't let the outside fool you. It has all the essentials on their menu at decent prices. The quesadilla was bomb - literally, despite the hot salsa it tasted so good. The tacos were very tasty as well. We left full and happy on the way back home. Nice employees and inside vibe.

First time here and very impressed with the food. The birria was so tender and flavorful. The megamichelada was huge, and one of the better ones we have had in merced. Would definitely be back!

This was one of the tastier meals I had on my visit in Merced. If you like birria tacos, this is a great place to grab one. It was Monday night, and we realized that a lot of things close early (especially on a holiday) and a quick yelp search took us to El Palmar. When we went in to order, I saw them making some birria tacos and I knew I had to try em. They only use 1 tortilla (those two tortilla birria tacos aint it, so bonus points for the single tortilla usage here lol), and the fry it up on the grill to get that crispy perfection. The pack the taco with meat and cheese, and the consome was heartwarming. My suggestion is that you should eat it there, because it ensures max crispiness. Even a short car ride, they got a lil soggy, so eat it there if you can. I also got a steak/shrimp burrito, which was huge and tasty. I wasn't a huge fan of the type of shrimp they used, but the steak was pretty good. If I had to choose between the two though, I wish I would've went with more birria tacos instead. We also got some micheladas to go, and they were very good but messy. The chamoy was drippin all over (RIP my white uniqlo airism tee). Overall, if you find yourself in Merced, this is a solid place to get authentic Mexican food!

Food is great and always on point. But the service and loyalty to customers is a problem. Everytime we ask for chips and salsa we have to pay for it. That's unacceptable. It should be included, especially when I'm spending over 40$ for two meals. Greed! They say only for sit down customers. That doesn't even make sense. They won't even give you salsa with your food. I miss the authenticity and loyalty Mexican spots used to have. This place has definitely lost it.
