Palmita Mexican - Red Lodge

Some friends recommended this restaurant to us while staying in Red Lodge. It is what looks like a former gas station with very little indoor seating, mostly outdoor seating. The menu is posted on the wall and looks to be pretty authentic Mexican food, but it is rather pricey (comparable to a nice, sit-down Mexican restaurant (prices on the posted menu were all crossed out so we didn't know the price until we ordered at the walk up counter . I ordered the carne asada burrito and my Wife ordered nachos with carne asada on the side and we also ordered the cheese enchilada/chili relleno combo. Chips and salsa were not provided while we waited, and there was no salsa bar. When we received our food (which was pretty fast , it was very good (probably the best Mexican Food in the area and the portion size was generous. The price was just over $48.00 without tip or tax (yes, there is a resort tax in this part of Montana .

The food was very good. I had the fried enchiladas and I would recommend! The wife wasn't a fan of the quesadilla but I think it was because the chicken was shredded. We like chopped chicken. The beans and rice were on point.

The food was excellent! Lots of flavor and large portions. I love sitting outdoors to eat!!

Delicious and quick food on site or to take away. We ate at the snack bar and were very satisfied.

Fast, delicious, generous servings, and friendly staff. Can get crowded, and definitely spendy for a roadside Mexican joint.
