" Authenticity is the name of the game here. The variety of tacos from different regions makes it a unique dining experience. I loved their Oaxacan mole; it was rich and very satisfying. The staff was friendly and seemed genuinely happy to help. I will definitely return for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Palmitos is an okay find if you're in the area but I've had better tacos elsewhere. They were just average and left me wanting more flavor. Service was a little slow, but not the worst. I probably won’t be returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my experience at Palmitos wasn't great. The food was underwhelming and lacked the distinct flavors I assumed a Mexican restaurant would have. Service was notably slow and left a lot to be desired. I really wanted to enjoy this place considering the buzz around it but left feeling disappointed. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was disappointed by my visit to Palmitos. The tacos were mediocre, and I expected much more based on previous reviews. The service was slow, and it felt like we were overlooked despite the restaurant not being too busy. I won't be returning anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" It’s my second time at Palmitos, and I can honestly say that their burritos are life-changing. The carne asada burrito left me speechless—big, juicy, and full of flavor. The staff was friendly and gave great recommendations on what to try. The outdoor seating is a bonus as well. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had my first meal at Palmitos and I was thoroughly impressed! The tacos were authentic, and the flavors were vibrant. I also loved their fresh salsa and the way they serve it with every dish. The ambiance was relaxed, perfect for families and friends. I will definitely be making this a regular stop! " (*Curated Review*)

" Palmitos has been around for a while, and it's easy to see why. The tacos are flavorful and the portions are generous. I especially enjoy their salsa bar where you can mix and match flavors to your heart's content. Service-wise, they are usually quick, but sometimes they seem overwhelmed. " (*Curated Review*)
