Burritos La Palma

$5.50 for a bean and cheese burrito that I can make at home? These burritos are super tiny and definitely not worth $5.50. Whoever said they had the best burritos has never eaten at Al Arco Iris.

I thought the amount of filling was fine. Everything was fresh and prepared quickly. Overall I thought the burritos were a little bland. I had the special plate, and the birria was not anything special. The chili that comes with was more interesting and had some good flavors so I recommend trying that if you come.

Finding Burritos La Palma was a bit of an adventure. I actually drove past it at first, not realizing it’s tucked inside a market. There’s a sign out front, but it’s easy to miss. Once I found my way in, I discovered La Palma at the back of the market, almost like a hidden gem waiting to be uncovered. I ordered two burritos: the Birria and the Deshebrada (yes, that’s the correct spelling!). One thing I immediately appreciated was the fact that the tortillas are handmade and fresh — always a great start. But heads up, the burritos are on the smaller side. If you’re hungry, I’d recommend ordering at least three to satisfy your appetite. Now, onto the burritos. Of the two, the Birria stood out as my favorite. It had a nice bit of spice to it, which I loved. That said, I was a little disappointed with the texture. For a guisado-style dish, I expected a bit more consomé, but it was on the dry side. Maybe I’m being picky, but I think it would have been better with a bit more juiciness. So, I’m knocking off a star for that. Overall, Burritos La Palma is a solid spot if you’re nearby. The flavors are good, especially the Birria, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to grab one of these burritos again.

Everything is fire! I love the flavor. The salsa is delicious and perfectly compliments Everything. I appreciate that it's home made and not Tapatio. Great quality

Awesome Birria burritos! First time here and will definitely be back. Anthony took care of us and he did an amazing job 👏

Not your typical burrito. A delicious tortilla wrapped around shredded beef. That's it. And it's the absolute best thing! The frozen ones are remarkably good, so it's worth stocking up!

I have no idea who is supposed to like this place. 2 burritos with barely any filling in a gummy tortilla. My request for a lot of their hottest hot sauce got me about 2 spoons full of flavorless watery orange gloop. If you have the time, make the drive to Lupes. If you have to stay local, go with Chicos.

Small and mighty burritos that are so simple yet so flavorful. High quality ingredients — especially the tortillas, chef’s kiss. Don’t expect a massive burrito like if you got double everything at chipotle. They’re 3 for ~$15, but will most definitely fill you up!
