Burritos La Palma's Zacatecan-Style Burritos Remains a Los Angeles Icon
"The simplicity of the Zacatecan-style burrito belies its high-quality ingredients - especially when it comes to the house tortillas, comprised of a blend of butter, flour, and salt. You can't go wrong with tender birria, which made the burrito purveyors famous, or any of the quesadillas, which allow the blistered tortillas to shine."
"The "con todo" has everything that made Burritos La Palma famous: juicy, shredded birria; buttery refried beans; and cheese all wrapped up in a chewy flour tortilla."
"Although you can find Burritos La Palma frozen burritos at many small retailers throughout Los Angeles, as well as Goldbelly, it's actually cheaper to buy the fresh burritos directly from the restaurant and freeze them yourself."
Burritos La Palma, operated by the BaƱuelos Lugo family since the 1980s in Zacatecas, Mexico, opened its first U.S. location in El Monte in 2012. The restaurant specializes in Zacatecan-style burritos featuring house-made tortillas blended with butter, flour, and salt. Signature items include tender birria burritos and quesadillas that showcase the quality tortillas. The popular "con todo" burrito combines shredded birria, refried beans, and cheese. Alternative options include chicken tinga with smoky chipotle and potatoes. Customers can purchase fresh burritos and tortillas directly from the restaurant to freeze at home, which is more economical than buying pre-frozen versions from retailers or online.
