La Palma Méxican Cuisine - Stockton

Testing out mexican restaurants to find a new spot.I test out several things before trying down the menu. Chips and salsa, flour chips, horchata, chicken tacos, chicken enchiladas, and a chile relleno.This spot is a miss. The chips were mass store bought chips flavorless and boring. The salsa was decent juicy a tiny bit of heat but needed more flavor. Flour chips were a bit undercooked but tasted alright after adding salt. The horchata is homemade but watered down too much not too sweet perfect for kiddos. Chicken taco was a hot mess. It was very greasy a nice amount of chicken but so dry and found enchilada sauce inside with lettuce. Wierd. The chile relleno was like eating a soggy sponge with a tiny chile hiding inside there.The chicken enchiladas were the best out of everything we ordered along with the flour tortillas.

My husband and I go to new places and try to find good Mexican food. Palmas surprised us! We are from the Bay Area and loved the salsa, service and green sauce! We definitely will return!

I loved the atmosphere and the staff were very friendly. Good food, too. Parking: The parking lot is small.

First time here. We stopped for an early dinner while in Stockton. Well decorated inside. My wife had a mango margarita. She really enjoyed it. It looks like there is a regeneration of Pacific Ave with a lot of new stores, shops, and restaurants. La Palma is nice looking on the outside. That's what caught our eye. You walk in the front door and are greeted by the bartender and a well stocked bar. There were several people at the bar enjoying their cocktails and conversation. The restrooms are single use and large, and they are very much ADA compliant. Parking behind the restaurant is small, but since we were early, there were only a couple of cars. It was a nice experience, and we look forward to trying more of the eateries on Pacific Ave.

Excellent vegetarian options and amazing fish tacos!
