La Palmera Family Mexican Restaurant

If you haven't been to Palmera yet, you're seriously missing out! This place has become our go-to spot for authentic Mexican food that actually tastes like it came from someone's abuela's kitchen. First off, the portions are generous – come hungry because you're definitely getting your money's worth. Everything tastes incredibly fresh, and you can tell they're not cutting corners with their ingredients. The Carne Asada is honestly some of the best I've had in the Seattle area – perfectly seasoned, tender, and just bursting with flavor. And don't even think about skipping dessert because their Flan is absolute perfection – silky smooth and not too sweet. The cocktails? They're in a league of their own. We've tried Mexican restaurants all over, and Palmera's drinks are creative and strong (i

Had an absolutely amazing time at La Palmera restaurant after coming back from Kingston. I ordered the veggie tacos, and the others with me ordered chicken enchiladas and veggie enchiladas. These were the best veggie tacos I’ve ever had. 😍 The corn tortillas were excellent. As soon as I saw that this place only has 4.3 stars, I had to add this review! I highly recommend it here.

Ordered a pork carnitas for $28. Big portion size, came out quick, seasoned decently. Unfortunately the pork was somewhat dry. Pork carnitas can be difficult to keep moist, but for $28 I had hoped for the best. But the pork itself was average. Could be seasoned more, could be more moist. Waitress was fast and kind. Best kind of service.

My company Pacific Pro Group moved into the area recently and now this is our favorite lunch spot. The tacos, especially the shrimp tacos are delicious. La Palmera Family Mexican Restaurant is a family-run gem dishing out authentic, heirloom recipes. The interior bursts with colorful Mexican murals and soft mariachi melodies, creating a cozy, expansive space ideal for groups or intimate dinners. Start with the complimentary chips and house salsa—fresh, zesty, and addictive with its tomato-cilantro kick.

We saw their grand opening picture on FB and decided to give it a try. La Palmera was so so so good! They were busy but sat us within 2mins. Their menus is extensive but not annoyingly so. We made it during HH which their menu was super great with that. The food was so damn good! Flavorful and good portions. We wanted everything on the menu. The service was also great and no complaint at all. We will definitely be back to try more items.
