This is a nice Mexican restaurant! For a small town like Urbana it’s nice to have a Mexican restaurant that gives you a taste of Mexico from the restaurant décor to its food. Staff seemed friendly and the food comes out fast. I had #15 on the menu and I thought it was delicious. Good prices and I also love how the menu items have pictures for each dish. One criticism I do have is about the water they serve. I know it’s tap water but it did taste a bit chlorinated(could’ve been the ice also-not sure). I let one of the staff members know so hopefully that changes later. This is my first time in Urbana so if that’s how all the tap water is at other restaurants then I’m just not used to it. Overall, definitely worth a visit. :-)

I love La Palma in Bellefontaine and the location in Urbana is large and beautiful from the outside so I just had to check it out. We went in the middle of summer on a Tuesday afternoon. They had no air conditioner running, just open doors(which meant I was sweating while eating my hot meal and there were TONS of flies we had to swat constantly!). The food was the same as in Bellefontaine, so no surprises there. The interior was colorful and tacky in a cute way, but I didn’t care for the cheesy local ads printed on every single table. Whenever I see these advertising tables or menus I just feel like I’m in a desperate, cheap restaurant whose focus is money and not the food or the customers. Always a turn off for me, but that’s just a personal preference. Overall, the food at Urbana’s La Palma was as tasty as I was expecting but I’ll be sticking to the one in Bellefontaine from now on.

Pretty typical Mexican American fare. As a huge Mexican food fan I was really hoping I could find something on the menu that was really authentic. But, for Americanized food it is good and the portions are generous. I love the carna Asada tacos and California Burrito. The salsa is nothing to write home about and very mild and the carnitas are disappointing(although the carnita nachos aren’t bad). I really love Mexican soups and none are offered here nor is barbacoa. The margaritas are pricy but damn good. The family and staff are usually very welcoming and friendly and clearly hard working but staff turnovers happen that throw things off from time to time. Over all it’s a good meal and experience.

For starters, I’ve been to a lot of Mexican restaurants in my day since it is my favorite food. La Palma is no different than any other Mexican restaurant that I’ve been too. Food is always decent and cheap. The food is always quick, but service typically isn’t. I will say, they have huge party rooms you can reserve and we’ve done so on multiple occasions for groups of 10 – 40 people. That is a huge plus, especially because there really isn’t anywhere else close for a large group get together. In short– there is nothing to rave about or complain about; it is exactly what you’d expect from a low priced Mexican restaurant.

I have been to quite a few Mexican restaurants, but this one is one if my favorites. They have excellent Margaritas(which come at a special price Thursdays for ladies night!) the combination dinners are tasty as well as the taco salad. and my favorite part, the chips and delicious salsa they provide when you arrive. The service is very quick and courtious. Def. a big fan of La Palma!

Great drinks and atmosphere. Service is pretty decent and if is good for kids. Food wasn’t up to my tastes though.

Met a friend here for dinner and a margarita. Margarita was okay, the food was overcooked, mediocre at best. Granted — it’s Urbana, and I normally only come for Crabill’s and to see my relatives, and I know few people that speak«highly» of La Palma except as a bar, so I figured«why the fuck not?» Why the fuck would I make that mistake again, is something I won’t have to say. The carne asada was overcooked, and overall it was pretty damn mediocre. Not terrible — just not a place I’d recommend to go to for Mexican.

We were in a hurry so we were just looking for somewhere quick. We had the nachos supremo and they tasted alright, but the nachos were so soggy we had to eat the chips from the fresh basket of chips. The service was awful. Very stingy with salsa and napkins, never came back to check on us, had to beg for a second glass of water, and took forever to get the check. This place is ok if you’re desperate, but we won’t be back.

First visit here after passing by a few times. It’s a typical modern Mexican place, with the usual colorful décor. Great service– very friendly and efficient without being intrusive. We got the cheese dip, a white cheese that is not queso fundido(also on the menu.) It wasn’t bad with the tortilla chips. My friend and I both got the #1 combo: burrito, enchilada, chile relleno, all covered with sauce. All were quite good, but I’ll admit my attention was more on my companion than the food… Overall, a nice place, and worth a return visit.
