Las Palmeras Restaurant

Stopped by here when I couldn't decide where to get Mexican. Originally I wanted tacos but...people have the right to change their mind right. Bueno estas señoras son muy amable. The ladies here are real nice. Reminds me of being home getting dinner at my Tia's. So the camarones a la diabla used to be my favorite but I hadn't had it in a long time.I appreciate this place and would come back to try something else. Give it a second shot. But the sauce was more sweet than spicy how i prefer it. Aaaand they were skimp with the shrimp. I did however really enjoy having freshly cooked handmade tortillas. Surely did. Fucked it up!4 stars for now. Cuz they the Tias now.

Pupusas are the best out ! No lie been coming from Oakland for years . Super authentic & juicy . Stuffed with love & flavor. A must for a pupusa lover

Bad service.. our hot plates of food is here but not tortillas yet..! Waited more then 10 minutes for tortillas??? And it's not even hand made tortillas... wow.. My hot head Mexican so so mad..!! Isn't busy in here. Finally flag down one of the waitresses.. The steaks is already cold damn.. not coming here again ..!!! Not worth to even try ..!!

Love this place, I come here for the chicken tamales! I come here cuz its banana leaf wrapped, its what I prefer. The corn husk wrap just doesn't taste good for me.

Note: Cash only. Trying a Mission fixture since 1988. Salvadoran and Mexican. They have an interesting breakfast menu too. I'm ordering cheese pupusas (haven't had one since 2012) and cheese enchiladas because I'm leery that the other Salvadoran stuff that intrigues me might be too spicy (had a bad experience at Velvet Cantina last week where I couldn't eat the food). Cheese enchiladas were super cheesy. I liked the rice a lot. Cheese pupusa was a bit greasy due to the cheese but tasty. I look forward to coming back.

ExcellentExcellent , The service was good as it was busy for lunch. The food was also excellent. I had the fried fish very delish. I will be back soon

I like their pupusas and their beef soup. Their fish soup is pretty good too. I know they buy their meat fresh every day from the meat market in front of them, which is another of my favorite places in the mission.

Las Palmeras has a large open patio in the back. I went yesterday for the first time ordering food to go. Staff were super friendly and open. A friend had brought me a loroco Pupusa the day before and it was amazingly fresh and delicious. I ordered another loroco pupusa, as well as a chicken tamale. The tamale was the BEST I've ever had in my life, and I have a long history of eating tamales. The masa was so soft and full of flavor it was incredible. I'm thinking it must be the wrap in banana leaves that makes it so moist. Do yourself a favor and try some of their food. It's delicious. I won't be getting tamales from anywhere else for a while. GREAT FOOD.

accidentally removed review from dec 2011. Here it is: Some of the waitresses here tend to favor their Latino customers - better, faster, priority. After supporting this place for over 10 years, I'm sorry to say that I'm tired of dealing with it. I decided that my visit here this afternoon was my last.I see from more recent reviews, that I suspect the ugly issue persists.

This place sucks man, they got dumb people working at the kitchen, we got here at 4:35 they took our order 5 mins later, then a family of 5 came by then 4 people more to different tables and they order pupusas just like us it's 5:10pm and they already even finished they're food and the waitresses are walking by like nothing we had to go ask for our order and they're explanation was oh we made a mistake on the kitchen, WTH?
