El Palmar

The smaller the mexican restaurant, the better the food.

Beef tongue tacos with cilantro and onion are my go to choice. Chicken, steak, and fish are also solid. Horchata is delicious and cheap (like most choices on the menu).
The service is great, the chips are good, and the two different salsas they give you are spicy and solid.

One complaint: Though the guacamole is hand-made and amazing, it's a bit too pricey for what you receive.

The best neighborhood Mexican joint.

its good.. nothing spectacular i would say.  i had the el pastor burrito.  it was gigantic compared to your chipotle, la bamba chains.  the meat was very flavorful, but i would prefer less cheese in my burrito.  it felt like the whole thing was meat and cheese and a pinch of lettuce.  the salsa verde and salsa roja was mild, and tasted similar to each other.

The restaurant is very small and VERY crowded.  The service wasn't too impressive as the lady taking our order didn't smile and didn't speak much.  I was a little uncomfortable standing inside the restaurant as I felt like we were in people's way as we were placing our orders
Anyway...
This review is based on one burrito..so I will have to come back and try their other foods.

Al Pastor Burrito:
Negatives:
-soggy
-large chunks of fat in the meat
-way too much cheese (I do like cheese but it was overkill)

Positives:
+big burrito!
+flavorful meat

Conclusion: I've had better burritos but it was decent and I would go back here whenever I'm craving Mexican food but I wouldn't go out of my way to drive to the restaurant as I don't live near the area
