Las Palmitas is a solid, family-owned Mexican restaurant in Vallejo with deep roots in the community.
I was there for the Solano Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Banda Lonchera—something we do monthly—and it was a great spot for a midweek lunch. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, especially for a Wednesday around noon. Good energy, not rushed, and easy to have conversations with the group.
I’ve been here before for drinks, and they have a full bar with a great selection, which makes it a good option for both lunch and after-work meetups. This time I had the quesadillas and enjoyed them. Portions were solid, food was good, and others in our group also seemed to enjoy their meals.
What really stood out was getting to meet the family behind the restaurant. This is truly a family business—started by the mom over 30 years ago and now run by her two sons. You can feel that history and pride when you’re there.
If you’re looking for a classic Mexican family restaurant with good food, a full bar, and strong community ties, Las Palmitas is worth checking out.

I’ve lived in Vallejo for the past 15 years and had never tried this place before. I suppose it has something to do with the location. It’s on a corner with stoplights and the parking situation isn’t the best. The food, however, was quite good. We had enchiladas. Everything was very flavorful. A bit salty for my taste, but very good overall. The waiter was very nice and personable. I will visit again.

Great service. Ordered 2 Chile Rellenos with beans and rice and a pina colada. Food was good, however my friend’s fajitas lacked flavor, meat was bland.

A buddy told me to check this place out and wow! This is by far the best place for this type of food. Have only been there twice so far but everything has be prefect! The flavors of the sauces and how tender the meat has been is unreal. Talked to one of the bartenders and he told me the people in the kitchen I’ve been there for quite some time and you can tell they been making that type of food since they were young. There’s no substitute for experience and their Cooks definitely have that. The drinks are good as well.

Update! After trying this place at least 10 more times, I have to say it’s some of the best Mexican food in Vallejo!!
The fajitas hands-down best I’ve ever had. The quesobirria tacos delicious! Per my husband the Menudo hits every time.
You won’t be disappointed!!

Still on the lookout for the best Mexican food in V-town. Got here early on a Tuesday. These guys do a good job, in the same way that a Chevrolet does a good job of getting you from A to B. The food is on the better side of decent, the prices are reasonable and the waitress helping me was attentive and quick. All in all not a bad show. I’m off to find that 5 star Mexican restaurant that will really knock my socks off.

Delicious food. I had the enchilada and taco combo with carnitas and chicken. The place has a little bar, serves beer wine and some liquor drinks. Lots of food choices. Good, hot salsa, and they give you a basket of chips and salsa while you wait for your order. Parking is a challenge, only saw street parking.
