Taqueria Las Palmas — Restaurant in Westminster

It may be that this area and the people in it just have terrible taste, but I have absolutely no clue how this place has 4 stars. To start lightly, I'll say the place looked nice, but there was this clear, remote, yet ever-present passive aggressive vibe from the employees at this restaurant. Not that it really even matters, but I went there with a friend and we are both white. There were 3 other tables in the restaurant being occupied by other people. I only took notice because there was only one other table with white people, and they weren't getting any attention whatsoever from the employees, neither were we. The two other tables with Hispanic people were getting a visit so often that the waitress, if I can call her that, was a peripheral distraction coming in and out of the kitchen. I was thinking, there aren't that many people here... Why is there so much commotion and no service for us? Now, to get deeper, I ordered the tacos, expecting tacos. Just that. I got meat on tortillas. With a side of lettuce and onions.. The lime really was an added bonus though! (Sarcasm for those of you whom struggle). My friend's food was 'ok'. I also had ordered a side of beans and rice, more chips and salsa, and extra napkins. We received none of them. I know I usually eat dinner earlier (we ate around 7:45pm), but I know Mexicans are known for eating late, I guess these Mexicans forgot about that... The taste of this city is distasteful....

Walked in and seated ourselves and the waiter came over I spoke to her five times and she just looked confused. She was placing menus on the table real carefully. Look at me and smile but never once greeted me. She asked what we were drinking and left. She can't back with chips and salsa that wasn't fresh the l everything could and not other options for salsa that didn't taste very good. During the service I can see that there was skepticism on their behalf. I ordered the fajita vegetables and asked for a la carte side of shredded beef. I asked if my tortillas can be flour and Crispy....i received lightly grilled tortillas. I noticed that the beef was cold. So I took the beef back so they could put it in the microwave in the tortillas and asked if they could fry it. The beef she brought out was hot but the tortillas were still grilled not fried. I was actually charged for a full serving of it. I asked for an extra large margarita it was watered down and sweet. What I mean by Watertown is there wasn't too much alcohol. After we let her know about it they took the margarita back but still had it on the receipt. Once we paid. I feel like they need more people to speak English although I didn't allow a language barrier to get in between service I was looking up words to help with communication. Service was horrible and I won't be back. We were a party of two so the other party will be posting your review soon. Bathrooms...

This little hole in the wall, blends in with the other shops and really doesn't stand out at least on the outside. However once you get inside the atmosphere changes drastically... You instantly feel as if there's something going on, there's a party somewhere, there's a party everywhere, and once the margaritas start flowing you are the party whether you want to be or not.

The food was, not what I expected... As I did not expect anything special from a restaurant that just blended in with the other strip mall places. However the food was amazing, and I will be back... The fajitas or hot and fresh sizzling like a mariachi band. Our server was always there and always ready to give us more attention than we deserved It was as if we were the only people in the entire restaurant and it was his biggest concern that we didn't need to ask for anything that it was already there waiting. The presentation of the food was not overly spectacular but laid out rather nice no frills not a bunch of throwaway garnish... It was adequate If there would have been more garnishment I probably would have eaten that too... I say keep up the good work, keep the quality of the food as it is and please don't get rid of any of your servers as everyone I encountered was the light of our evening... We had a party of eight and it was as if We were the only customers they had the entire night... However we were...
