Would have gave it more stars, go early, they are very busy, got the feeling, they don't care for the customers as long as you pay. There is really no parking, unless you get lucky like I did and get a spot. Beef tamales are good, refried beans are good...

Amazing food, reasonable prices. Great place to grab a pint of cooked beans or a stack of fresh corn tortillas. Tables outside to eat your burritos and what have you. The vegetable burrito was great, tho if you don’t want large pieces of carrot, broccoli, and such I understand. Tortilla chips are incredible. Grab a full chicken for $10 or cater a party for $100.

I love this place. I was introduced to it a couple years ago. It use to be family owned not sure if it still is. The inside of the store/restaurant is tiny, but full of goodies. These burritos are to die for. They set my burrito bar pretty high. The carnitas and taco sonora are delicous. Their tortillas both corn and flour are amazing. Yes they are pricey but totally worth it. I will drive an hour just to go get a burrito and pick up some tortillas. I feel bad that I didn't get a good picture of the burrito but it was too good to stop and take one.

Masa products made on-site, fresh daily, and they've been open for over 80 years. Trying a variety of things here is a good idea if you've only ever been exposed to tacos and burritos, but this is truly mexican territory on 24th Street and it may take some figuring out if you, like me, don't speak a lick of Spanish. So this place is a mexicatessen, in that it's roughly operating similar to a deli with a selection of things you can eat freshly made or buy ingredients to make your own or snacks for later. Since they grind masa one of those products is varieties of masa products like corn flour masa, tortillas, corn chips, but also all the things that go with it - queso, dried chillies, canned beans and pickles by the jar, house made chicharron, dips, hot sauce, premade guacamole, etc. That part makes up the bulk of the public space, counter at the front on your left as you walk in, fridges on the left wall and a shelf of goods that splits the small stall into two tight fitting aisles, if it's busy you may not have much room. Towards the far side as you walk in you get to the food ordering counter. You can pick off the screens, which rotate between submenus, so waiting for the screens can be annoying. Everything is made in the large manufacturing space behind that counter, and they are always busy with production. Now, even if you and one of the folks behind the counter are speaking English, it may be hard to communicate because of accents - as an Aussie with a soft voice that can't pronounce the things on the menu I had to repeat things many times so your mileage may vary, but they are there to help while accomplishing other tasks so be patient. Now you can get tacos, burritos, or quesadillas, sure. But you want to try pupusas (flat breads stuffed with choice of protein), gordita (think stuffed pita with lots of cheese and choice of protein), tamales (steamed masa with choice of protein), tortas (sandwiches), be different and try a variety, look at pictures here on google maps and ask, the menus are fairly descriptive. Once you place your order you get a number and can pay at the other counter at the front, which is also where you pick up your order. They call out numbers in Spanish so I had to listen for something tres because I can only count to 6 thanks to the Offspring and Pretty Fly for a White Guy but they won't get upset if when it's quiet that you check on your order. There's space to the side of the shop outdoors with a small row of tables and chairs, which may be quite sunny and only lightly shaded if you need it depending on time of day.

Another SF staple here. This place is small and maybe 3 small tables outside for eating, food is mainly to go here. The food is very good and authentic, fresh made tortillas on site. Service okay

I've been going here 40+ yrs. Used to be masa, carnitas, etc. Now it's a burrito place first, groceries second. Good tamales. Haven't had the other menu items yet.

I dropped in at the advice of a local and it was great. I mostly ordered pupusas, and they were extremely delicious and not too expensive. Was able to see the corn dough being rolled out right in front of me. Make a visit!

This place is wonderful!! My coworker wanted mexican food for her birthday party. My supervisor suggested La Palma! She certainly steered us in the right direction. Excellent customer service, the food is fresh, hot, and well seasoned but not overpowering. They make all of their food including their corn tortillas, flour tortillas and chips. Their chiliverde guacamole salsa is to die for!!!! Seriously if you're in San Francisco come visit this place you won't regret it! Side note: it was busy and it wasn't even lunch time yet!!!

I ordered 4 al pastor tacos with hand-made tortillas, 75% were big chunks of pineapple, little meat, azada meat, and no taste.
