La Palma Mexicatessen: Authentic Mexican Cuisine in San Francisco

Best burrito I've had in my life, hands down. -Flavorful -Handmade tortillas -Nice Balance of flavor/heat -My picky toddler exclaimed "Mmmm!!! More! More! More!" Need I say more? Hahah!

I ordered 4 tacos. The tourtillas were great, i really liked the chicharron taco. The carne and polo tacos were decent. Carnitas was kinda meh.

Best Mexican in SF. I'm from Texas, and this is a taste of what we call TexMex, Norteno food, those who were here first and second. And, our border remains fluid and the food tasty. Good service. Best Rellenos anywhere. List rellenos on the menu!!

Love this place. Best chicharron and great market items like salsas, tortillas, and tamales. My favorite hot items are the chicharron with meat and skin and the carnitas they have here. The Gordita's and tamales are amazing and will keep me coming back. The salsas I always love to get as well. The orange habanero is very hot, and the green salsas have great flavor. Most of the staff speaks Spanish, so I do my best to order with them. They are very nice and friendly. Outdoor seating available so you can eat there as well. Easy to come by and a great no frills market with exceptional quality items and food. Casual ambiance.

This place is fantastic. I got the pork tamales and the chicharron to go. They make the masa fresh in the back. The pork tamale was so savory and dripping with fat in a good way.

The nachos may have been light on the chips but it was piled high with everything else. The grilled chicken was so juicy and flavorful and the fresh salsa and guacamole along with the spicy pickled jalapeño and vegetables was a party in my mouth. Sometimes had to cool everything down with the cream just so I could start all over again. Unfortunately the place closes at 5pm so difficult to get to after work but great for lunch.

Amazing catering!! I was looking for places to cater for a party and stumbled upon la palma. I came here beforehand to try their food out before trying out their catering. I was definitely surprised that this is actually more of a store that serves food. I tried their al pastor burrito, al pastor taco, chicken taco, and queso con lorco pupusa, We were so pleasantly surprised how good the chicken was. The al pastor was okay, not as flavorful as I was hoping. The pupusa was really good too, definitely fresh. They gave some pickled veggies that went really well with it. Since I was content with their food, I decided to order their catering. I called in my order for their taco bar catering. I chose carne asada and chicken with sauce for the two meats, black beans, and strawberry agua fresca. It came with plenty of salsa and tortillas and chips. They recommend picking up the food around 10am. The website says that the food is enough for 25 people. I had about 15 and we ate up all the meat, tortillas, chips. We had a lot of beans, cactus salad, and agua fresca left over. The total was close to 370$. Id probably recommend getting rice instead of beans. My friends absolutely loved the food and could not stop raving how good it was. At one point, we were using the chips to make lil nacho bowls. So glad I got to find this place and definitely plan to order again for the future. Both times I came, the store was fairly crowded. If ordering food, you go to the back and order and they'll give you a receipt to go to the front to pay.
