Taqueria Las Palmas

Taqueria Las Palmas is a no-frills taquería on Santa Rosa Avenue in Santa Rosa, named by Sonoma Magazine as the county's best for tacos al pastor.

Overview

Taqueria Las Palmas sits at 415 Santa Rosa Ave., just south of downtown Santa Rosa. Sonoma Magazine's survey of al pastor in Sonoma County gave it the top "blue-ribbon" designation, describing a pastor with moderate heat, deep flavor and a vivid red color, served with fresh tomatoes. The magazine's later roundup of 20 favorite Mexican restaurants in the county again included Las Palmas, describing it as a plain, straightforward spot for street tacos and burritos.

Context

Al pastor, pork marinated in dried chiles and achiote, is one of the most popular taco fillings in Northern California, though most local taquerías cook it on a flat griddle rather than a vertical spit. Las Palmas has drawn notice for the flavor of its marinade rather than for its setting. Sources consulted do not give a founding date or owners.
