"La Palma is a small tortilla factory, grocery store, and taqueria, all rolled into one. They also happen to serve some great burritos. It’s hard choosing between having them filled with carnitas or carne asada, so just grab one of each and call it a day. Just be sure to eat it quickly because they tend to arrive slightly colder than others." - ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1, lani conway
"Unlike most corner stores, La Palma in the Mission isn’t a place to get a bag of Takis or a frosty pint of ice cream. You’re here for the daily house-made masa and flour tortillas. That includes the tamales and the breakfast burrito stuffed with chorizo and eggs all slicked with their salsa picante. Stacks of tortillas and bags of masa are always fully stocked and ready to take home as well." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
"You could spend your day marathon-ing old seasons of Survivor like it’s nobody’s business. Or, you could make your way to La Palma in the Mission to pick up some pupusas, carnitas tacos, and a bagful of chicharrones, and bring it all back to your couch for said marathon. Also grab some of their excellent homemade tortillas to take home—they’ll easily power you through the rest of the week." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, ricky rodriguez
"Just as 24th Street defines the mission, La Palma defines 24th Street. Fresh masa, house-made salsas, Mexican pantry staples, and a full taqueria menu with larger quantities available for takeaway. Everything’s fresh, everyone’s friendly, and you’ll discover something new on every visit. Taco night can start or end at La Palma as long as you get there before 5 p.m." - Matt Tillquist
"Pop into this classic Mission District deli and grocery store for fresh tortillas, sweat-inducing salsas, and a menu of Mexican food offered to go including burritos, tacos, nachos, tamales, and more. The pro-move is to get a foil-wrapped Mission-style super burrito, a San Francisco special, which can be stuffed with your choice of protein. Carnitas makes a respectable option but if you want to break out of the usual suspects, go for La Palma’s chicharrones." - Dianne de Guzman
