Supermercado la Palma

My favorite store in st Paul mn. Miss them so much now that I'm in Oklahoma. Miss the friendly faces

Unfortunately, the covid crisis must have gutted the restaurant, because on my first visit back since before covid, it was a changed place. There are no "deals," no taco platters (tacos are not even listed on the overhead menu!), no red or green sauces are provided, and there's no water dispenser, so either pay for bottled water or go without. I ordered refried beans with my meal and got what looked like a cup of brown pudding, lukewarm, without a single bean. On the other hand, the place was not crowded at lunchtime like it used to be, I think that reflects the higher prices, which are becoming unaffordable for this area.

$1 tacos on Tuesdays but they only offer steak or chicken. Both were kind of underwhelming as far as tacos go. The beans were amazing though. I have a feeling they had a LOT of fat in them though because no bean on it's own tastes that good. Also, fried plantains! A bit expensive, but delicious!

A delightful surprise. On my way to Woodbury, saw a sign that states taco platter $4.99. I was hungry and can't say no to fresh taco. The restaurant is situated within the back of a grocery store. There are enough seats for 20 people, it's cute and a classic family run shop. Price: you can't go wrong with 3 tacos, rice and beans for $5. Simple ingredients prepared straight forward. The tortillas were made fresh since I saw a lady in the back grilled them in the back. It has a nice cheewy yet crunchy texture. The beef was marinated with salt, pepper, cilantro and lemon juice. The combination of onion, more cilantro, and the red and green sauce was sublime. I didn't eat the rice since I'm trying to stay away from the carbs. The best part of the meal was the bean. It's weird for me to conceptualize and get excited over beans. But yet, these beans had some great depth of flavors. You could taste the pork flavor, cumin, and oregano that has been soaked into the beans. It was good enough that I ordered an extra portion to go. Damm, it was good!!!!Life is strange sometimes; I've been disappointed on various occasions dining at high end establishments, yet only to be swept off my feet as something as simple as beans!!!If you're driving on east 94 in downtown St. Paul, get off the 7th exist and make your way to this gem!!!!

Great value for money at the cafe. Little hole on the wall cafe that has affordable prizes. If you like Salvadoran food this and Mañana restaurant are food options.

Doordash driver. Slow AF. Waited over 20 mInutes for the food that was supposed to be ready on arrival. Not the end of the world but holy shit I'm trying to make a living and the customers are getting served left and right while I sit here waiting like an asshole losing out on other delivery opportunities.

Very racially profiling, I sent my son there to got some snacks. My son came back tells me that some guy ask him "Are you stealing" my son said no, I have my moms card to pay but decided to keep following him in the store until he went up to the register. I asked what he look like so I can go to the store to talk to him, when I got there and ask one of the employees, she said it was the owner but it's here now. Never given my money there. Zero for stars

the ladies that work here, that are at the register along with the man named Luis are racist. not only did they talk among themselves in Spanish about my husband calling him a monkey. but they got upset when he told them that he understood them and called over this Luis guy and what did he do nothing. he made it seem like we wanted the food for free and we didn't the payment no this was done wrong and we just wanted a refund to charge the correct card but what was the problem was his employees and the whole time my husband is speaking to Luis he had his hand on his gun just ready. don't go here if you are black or don't speak Spanish because not only do they get away with their behavior but you might end up getting shot at for defending yourself. I guarantee you that 9 times out of 10 they are talking about you.

I waited for 1/2 hr for tamales. I ordered to-go at 1202 pm for a dozen tamales and 8 pupusas, and they forgot about me even though I was standing by their register drinking my horchata with my daughter drinking her lime Jarrito. I understand there being a lunch rush but they literally didn't even put in my order. I received COLD tamales and had to reheat them at home. Not a satisfied customer and will not be returning. Which is a shame because I do enjoy their pupusas.

Decided to check out this place based on the reviews. I ordered take out. The three taco meal was average. They were not shy on the meat for sure. The two taco sauce were flavorful. I decided to order two pupusas. Pork with cheese. It's my 1st time trying pupusas- I thought they were good. Although, i prefer the tacos.Customer service was okay. When we got there, two other customers jumped ahead of us as if we were not in line. We assumed they were regulars. The food took a bit to come out but since we were not in a rush we did not mind. Overall rating average.
