Damned good burritos; moist, savory and absolutely enormous. I had the steak, my girlfriend had the steak + shrimp. Have been taking her to El Farolito on International, and was convinced that that was as good as it got in the Bay Area. She kept muttering about Las Palmas and finally got me to go today… I’d honestly have to say Las Palmas is better. Los Angeles quality stuff, here. The service is abrupt and the cashier was rude, but it’s understandable, being in a sketch area. My new go-to for Mexican food hankerings.

Excellent burrito. Veggies were fresh. All ingredients were in nice proportions. Carne asada was thinly chopped. Almost like ground beef. Jalapeños were actually spicy. It was big. It was juicy. It was awesome.

This place is the shit! Can’t wait to come back! Batter so crispy. The fish, shrimp and chips came to me so fucking hot and they still didn’t have me wait an eternity for my food. The shrimp is seasoned deliciously. The portions are HUMONGOUS. Batter was a perfect cornmeal batter, not that gross shit that you can peel off of the fish. Crispy but still clean inside. Not greasy at all either. I had NO grease on my fingers. And the fish tasted fresh and didn’t smell fishy. I only wish their fish came with bones so that I know it wasn’t previously frozen. Card only, no cash. I want to try their carne asada and shrimp cheese fries next! Thanks again!

Called in an order and was told to come in in 10 minutes. I get there in 15 minutes and they hadn’t even started our food. I ordered steak and shrimp nachos which was drenched in nacho cheese and the chips were soggy but taste overall was good. My bf ordered snapper and said it was ok.

The Mexican food here is absolutely disgusting and the place is nasty. Ordered a hard shell taco, steak enchiladas and fried snapper. The snapper was made with old fish. It smelled pretty bad and tasted not so great. After eating a piece, I fed it to the dogs. Both The taco and the enchiladas were smothered in so much sauce and sour cream and pickled jalapeños it was just like a big nasty mix of unhealthy and bland sauces with no flavor. It tasted like Mexican food you might get in Germany or Italy not California. I would compare it to eating bad quality and old meat covered in a thick sauce with the flavor and consistency of bullion. I wanted Mexican food real bad and thought I would try a new place instead of my usual spots. What a mistake. I recommend you steer clear of this spot.

Dammmm those cheese steak fries on hittt!!! Just watching the homie make it, right when you think it’s over he just keeps topping it off, I didn’t even think the box could close! The portions here are ridiculous. The sour cream is quality, not like other watered down ones, the cheese is so good. «orange cheese». They also use the nacho cheese sauce which I prefer without. Makes the Nachos or the fries to drenched for me.

This was the worst place to order sea food or food period. The red snapper didn’t have no seasoning on it. It taste like it was throw into some cornmeal and deep fried. Las Palmas no longer serve salads only potato salad. This place use to do it all and serve clean food. Now since it’s under new management, it’s all about the dollar bill. You will get high cholesterol and low quality sea food with a high price. It’s gone down hill! I’m pissed because I had a taste for some good Red Snapper and what I got was a bag of greasy cornmeal red snapper with unflavored tons of greasy fries. Save yourself some time and money. Go somewhere else where the people care about the preparation and quality of sea food. Oakland Public Health Department for food inspections definitely need to come here, I’m sure it would get shut down!

4÷2÷15 — My oyster meal was right on point today. I got a hot meal, even the French fries were hot. Not many customers and it was after 6 p.m. The few customers there were talking about how bad the parking is and they were happy to see that there weren’t people loitering around.

I am writing this note to let customers know, that 2.5 months ago I visited this establishment & purchased several food items. I was overcharged by an individual that I’m assuming was the manager(an Asian gentleman). He overcharged me by $ 13.00. I brought the overcharging matter to his attention. Immediately, he said, «Oh! You’re right,» and then refunded me the $ 13.00. I personally do not believe that he made a mistake in overcharging me. I believe that he regularly overcharges people in this depressed community. I believe that exploiting disadvantaged people in depressed communities is wrong. I suggest that if you order food products from here, make sure you double check your receipt. This is just for your information.

Parking situation is not good and neighborhood is not good but I can’t help but to keep going back for those tasty steak and shrimp burritos. Red snapper and prawns are great too.

Still the #1 place in the entire Bay Area for good fried fish, shrimp and oysters. The portions are always huge and the taste is always on point. I’ve tried all the other fish fry places in Oakland and the surrounding cities but none really compare. Ppl may talk about JJ’s or some other similar places but trust me they don’t known good fried fish like this. The 4 star rating would be 5 if it was only for the food. But 1 star has to be taken off for the lack of security guards and the non stop hanging out in and outside of the restaurant. If you’re not familiar with Oakland you’d probably be to scared to stop and order your food. If you’re familiar than you’ll likely hey your food to go and be on your way.

I enjoy the food here. They have the best tasting fried seafood in my opinion. The price for the«fish and oyster & prawn» is reasonable. Location is in sketchy area — be cautious if you’re going here. Will order in future if am really craving fried seafood.

This is some serious fish. I have never tasted fish like this before. I will always come back! I dont know what they do to it, but it’s delish! We both ate EPIC dinners for $ 15 with enough left over that one of us will have lunch tomorrow. If I lived over here… I would need LAPBAND surgery! It’s just good!!! Trust me on this one

This place is great for fried fish and enormous burritos and tostadas. I can never finish my meal in one sitting, nor can any member of my family. Get to know the menu and call your order in. Trust me, it makes the whole experience better. Parking is not always easy, but do-able. Dont trip on the neighborhood, just be cool. I always hate when I read reviews where people talk about«how ghetto it is». Whatever, we like to call it diverse. If you cant handle it, stay out.

I loved the fish here. I had the red snapper, whiting & cat fish. It was fresh, well seasoned and not greasy. This is where I go when I want some fish. They have great prawn burritos as well. Only complaint was the whiting and catfish was the same price I asked if I could get 3 of each total of 6 pieces. I was told this could not be done. I could not understand why. It would have been an even split. Other than that love this place!

I decided to crash at a friend’s last minute and needed to grab dinner. I was oh so happy that Las Palmas was not only still open but was within walking distance of my friend’s home. I bought a fish taco for my friend and a chicken super burrito. My friend enjoyed his meal. Me? Not so much. Even without getting«the works» my burrito was unpleasantly heavy due to its thin tortilla. Because of this the salsa would leak, making my meal soggy and such a hot ass mess that I barely finished half of it. I decided to save it for breakfast and was hopeful that a night in a fridge would somehow salvage my burrito. WAS I WRONG. Shortly after breakfast I started feeling nauseous. Fortunately, I had Pepto on deck and was able to turn my day around. I won’t be returning.
