La Palma Family Mexican Restaurant

I am from Arizona which is right next to Mexico so I grew up on Mexican food. I was pleasantly surprised to find a Mexican food place in Seattle. La Palma is off a rather busy road so keep that in mind when looking for the place. You can't miss its bright, festive sign and there was plenty of parking in the front. Now there is flight of stairs you will have to go up and I forgot to ask the host about handicap access so if that is your situation you may want to call ahead and verify. The decor was very festive and familiar to anyone who has been to a Mexican place. The host was very friendly and seated me right away. He had some corny dad-jokes which were funny. I think he might have been the owner since he obviously loves talking to customers and he talked to a couple who were obviously re

Several recent visits in...I must add: ask for ROBERTO. He's the best! La Palma has been here forever... Long before street tacos were a thing or fresh tortillas, even predating most Aztecas in the area. The dining areas look the same as when I was a kid. This is old school Mexican American fare and I enjoy it. The lunch specials are great, filling and inexpensive. I hadn't been here in years and my Beef Chimichanga was tasty. It was fun for a lunch date with friends, who had yummy margaritas. The waiter was fantastic. Nice that they have a parking lot in this busy area.

The place is so cool, and the decorations are so nice, the servers are so kind. But the food is not that tasty anymore in comparison to the last year I visited this place, the prices are okay fair enough for what they serve.

Really good food, very friendly service and giant margaritas!!

The food is so-so (a little heavy and lacking in spice) but the service is always fantastic. With the short wait from the kitchen for our food, we were checked on 3 or 4 times to make sure everything was to our liking and that we had a refill on everything we needed. The location was so neat too! I love the little upstairs area that overlooked 15th Ave NW.
