Taqueria El Palmar — Restaurant in Waukesha

El Palmar is a great restaurant sometimes, an ok restaurant MOST of the time and horrible restaurant very FEW times. I have been frequenting El Palmar for quite a few years now. The past 3 times I have eaten here however left me wondering if there is new management. The steak in the burrito has been all grizzle and fatty, cold and rubbery in texture with noticeably lesser amounts of every ingredient for the burrito. The chips have tasted like they have them fried in Oil that fried every piece fish the place had and continued to use that same oil for an entire week. Just Gross! And I know it's just neglect on the restaurants part, they should know how often to change their fryer oil. But like I said I have been visiting here for years and I'm willing to give it another shot. So El Palmar, if you do read your reviews, please, take this to heart and make me wanna visit...

I should have taken a picture. You have to see it to believe it. I have always ordered to go shrimp fajita dinner, so I know what to expect when I pick it up. I get home and I open it and I am shocked. Lord as my witness, it looked like it fell on the floor and the swept it up and put it in the box. So, I call to let them know what I discovered. I was very nice about it when i explained it and the girl said she will get the manager. The manager said he would make me something else, but I ddnt want anything else. So he then said he can refund me. I go back to the place and show him, and he said that's the way they make them. NO SIR, unless u got a new cook, this is not acceptable. So she gives me my refund and not one time did I get an apology for this inconvenience. They both made me feel like I was crazy for not eating that. I am taking my...

Without a doubt, the best place in the city, maybe even the county for tacos. I literally can't get enough of their steak tacos with guac to start it off. To put it in perspective, my grandparents live in Mexico for 5 months or so a year on a local island (aka not a touristy area) and they absolutely love the food here!! They actually started going without me after I introduced them to this awesome little restaurant! Lol! But the food is always very quick and very, very good. The waitress is an absolute sweetheart and can easily keep up when the restaurant is full. Also, the dining room is always clean along with the bathroom being clean as well. All in all, I'll tell anyone who will listen to stop here and at least try their tacos because I rest assured that they won't leave unhappy or feeling misguided....
