Small burritos with tender stewed meats and homemade tortillas
"La Palma specializes in Zacatecas-style burritos, which are smaller and more slender than many of the behemoths on this guide, but also inexpensive enough that you can sample a few of the warm-your-belly guisado fillings in one sitting, like stewed chicharron in salsa verde, chicken tinga, or smoky birria de res. Between their incredibly soft, chewy flour tortillas made fresh and the savory stewed meats tucked inside, there’s no real need for salsa." - sylvio martins, cathy park, garrett snyder
"Arguably the most portable form of birria consumption, the birria burrito is what you need to order at this beloved Boyle Heights takeout window. Made with chewy, handmade Zacatecas-style flour tortillas, these tightly wrapped swaddles hold nothing except tender beef birria dripping in smokey consommé. That's right, no guac, cheese, or lettuce to be found—the birria is flavorful enough to stand on its own and pairs well with the buttery tortilla. Keep in mind that these burritos are small, so make like everyone else in line and order a few." - sylvio martins
"Burritos La Palma is mentioned as a supplier of burritos available for purchase at Little Nelly." - Farley Elliott
"The slender burritos norteño at Burritos La Palma are filled with juicy, soupy birria de res stewed Zacatecas style and brightened by a fresh tomato salsa that makes for a perfect foil; their twin burrito platillo especial channels Mexican American pocho cooking as a wet burrito with stewed pork sauce, served with refried beans, undressed iceberg lettuce, and a tomato slice." - Matthew Kang
"There is no greater hype for shredded and stewed beef in LA than the kind found at Burritos La Palma. The smallish, loosely-rolled concoctions began life out in El Monte but now sport locations across the city, and can even be bought as frozen burrito packs from local stores." - Farley Elliott
