La Palma holds claim to being the smallest city in Orange County (in terms of area - just 1.8 square miles!).
The former dairy city is now made up of mostly homes and small businesses, so most folks in the area flock to neighboring Buena Park or Cypress for recreational activities/entertainment.
However, there are a handful of restaurants certainly worth mentioning. Read below.
La Palma Restaurants
A’roma Ristorante
An OC Insiders favorite! Authentic family-owned Italian food with A-1 service. Their appetizer bread with mascarpone cheese sauce is addicting. Try the pink sauce pasta if you’re a first-timer.
Isla Cuban-Latin Kitchen & Rum Bar
Definitely in contention for one of the best Cuban restaurants in Orange County. Live performers are usually there on the weekends.
