La Palma Family Mexican Restaurant

"Old school style and welcoming service, Not fancy but wonderful! Highly recommend the steak fajitas, comes with rice, beans, pico & tortillas. And the MASSIVE Cadillac margarita is delicious! All around a great experience. Highly recommended if you need some comforting Mexican food!"

"Prices look good, reviews look good, place is cool and service seemed it would be decent if you sat down. But man.. the food.. I did a take out order for their most popular burrito on Doordash, so I could get a good gauge on the restaurant for a hopeful future visit, and the pile of slop I received was truly inedible. It was like they got that canned chili and wrapped it up in a soggy tortilla with greasy ground beef and cheddar cheese. No “fresh lettuce”, sour cream or pico as advertised, didn’t even include my utensils.. I’ll finish it off by saying I worked all day and didn’t eat really once, so for me to not finish something I paid good money for, especially on a day like today, should be telling. Maybe their higher priced items are better but I’m not willing to risk it. There’s plenty of good Mexican food around albeit maybe not in Queen Anne, but Malenas is good! Pricier, but for a decent reason, so I advise you skip this one personally. P.S. - This photo was taken after 2 sad bites. No funny business, this is how it came."

"The food is so-so (a little heavy and lacking in spice) but the service is always fantastic. With the short wait from the kitchen for our food, we were checked on 3 or 4 times to make sure everything was to our liking and that we had a refill on everything we needed. The location was so neat too! I love the little upstairs area that overlooked 15th Ave NW."

"I ordered veggie fajitas and it was really good. The portion size was also great. And I actually felt very positive about it then. When I came home both my husband and I had upset stomach which we realized is due to the food."
