Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

My wife, and I decided to go here today for lunch. I had never been here and she hasn't been here for a very long time. As soon as we got in there was a worker that asked if it were just the two of us. We agreed and he rushed us off to a table. No smile. No greeting. Just come in and sit down. At first I thought this guy was going to be our waiter, but then a very helpful gentleman came from the back and asked if we were ready to order or did we need more time. Considering we had just sat down we still needed some time. They brought us out some nice hot nachos for a start which was so good that we went through a basket and a half of them. Not to mention the salsa was great too. We finally put it our order and mine arrived before my wife got hers so I waited and just continued to munch on the nachos. My plate when it got to the table was very hot to say the to the touch. So much that you couldn't even touch the dish. More about this in my final thoughts. My wife got hers about a minute or two later and so we started "digging in". The meal plentyful to say the least. So much so that we couldnt finish our plates (due in part to them nachos earlier). The food was up to par, but not by much. As I had said earlier my food got there roughly about two or three minutes before my wife's did. When she got hers we both started eating immediately but the ground beef in mine tasted like..... well not as fresh as the hot plate would've made you think. It is my belief (not confirmed) that they took food and reheated it (thus making the plate blistering hot). All in all the food and experience wasn't too bad. Not to mention we only paid $14.05 (plus a two dollar tip which doesn't really count) for two large plates of food, unlimited nachos, and two drinks. Not bad at all for what we paid. I wouldn't say to stay away from this place. In fact if you like to drink it may be a good choice. I personally don't drink so I can't review that but I can tell you they had a ton of liquor, and beer behind the bar. In closing there are better places but there are much worse too.

I've been to a couple of Las Palmas locations and although the neighborhood left much to be desired, the restaurant was great. The food was good, service was attentive. Like everyone else, their Queso was runny and their guacamole isn't guacamole. I don't know what guacamole salad/sauce is, but really if you can't service real guac, then don't bother!

Food was good and service was fast.

Great Mexican food at a good price.
(4)Tart L.
Cheap, cheap. Ms. Cheap would be proud. It's good Mexican eating at a fair price. It compares favorably with the Nolensville road Hacienda restaurant, which is my first choice. But when I'm far away in west Nashville and hungering for Mexican cooking, I like to stop here and enjoy cheese enchiladas and salsa.

I'm not a huge fan of Mexican food, but the stars aligned properly on the night I visited the West Nashville Las Palmas. From the chips and salsa to the fried ice cream, I enjoyed everything about this meal. Mexican restaurants and (what we're exposed to of) Mexican food are two things that I don't think could get much more boring. Like the majority of Chinese takeout places, it seems as if they all get their menu from a central clearinghouse...with the combination platters that always seem to be missing the one item you really want... I'm not saying this was the most exciting dinner I've ever had, but it was easily the highest quality and most delicious Mexican food I've had in as far back as I am able to keep record of these things... I appreciated that, while most of Las Palmas' menu did seem to come from the "central clearinghouse", there were a few diversions. One that stuck out to me was the Parrillada (translated 'barbeque' in Spanish). Available on the menu 'for one' or 'for two', my 'for one' portion could easily have fed two people. It contained grilled and seasoned shrimp, chorizo, ribeye, chicken, and pork tenderloin -- along with peppers and onions -- and beans/rice/sour cream/guacamole on the side. At $13.50 (for one) it is the most expensive entree on the menu...but it was worth it. I was most impressed with the chorizo. I love chorizo sausage...but it is often greasy and overcooked into little bits. The chorizo on this plate came in large chunks, about half the size of an average-sized meatball. It was flavorful and not greasy at all (goes great with shrimp!) [Speaking of grease, the lady at the table next to me had a bottle of blue Parkay squirt butter at her table (presumably she didn't carry it in her purse -- it was still there when she left). If anyone can tell me what she possibly could have been doing with it, please let me know. I have pondered on it for far too many hours already.] The drinks were large (and strong) for the money, and as always you get all the chips and salsa you can shake a maraca at! I decided to top off this extravagant (for Mexican) meal with some fried ice cream. How can one go wrong? It's still only a once-every-six-weeks-AT-BEST kind of place for me, but I'll be back!

Great service by Magda, pretty decent food, good price and quick. Happy we came here. The part what may have been the worst was the salsa with chips. It wasn't horrible but wasn't great. They were very attentive which was awesome. The steak in the fajita wasn't the best quality but again, good enough to be considered good... If that makes sense?

Go here for the margaritas. If you want huge, crazy cheap margaritas, go here. If you want authentic lime or you're an advocate for colorful, mixed margaritas, go here. The food? It's not bad. It's not terribly great, either, but it's on par with other cheap Mexican restaurants in Nashville such as Cinco de Mayo and Las Maracas.
(3)Amy T.
We have never been disappointed at Las Palmas in West Nashville. Casual Mexican food, decent chips and salsa, good margaritas. Definitely a worthwhile stop in the neighborhood. I enjoy their taquitos and enchiladas and my husband has tried something different every time. We've never had to wait for a table and the waitstaff is always super attentive.
(4)Jayna G.
It's funny I've been living around the corner from this place for 5 years. And never stepped foot into this place until yesterday. I don't eat Mexican food no more than probably once a year. Surprisingly, there food was really good. I might eat Mexican food twice a year now. Can you say Margaritas!!!!!!!
(4)Melissa S.
Love the salsa, caso, and their chicken chimichanga is my favorite. Super quick lunch service. In and out in a 1/2 hr or less.
(4)David O.
I've never been to this particular Las Palmas, but I have been to a few of the other locations. The waiter was very prompt with the drink orders and the chips, but as dinner progressed he became increasingly invisible. We practically had to beg for the check at the end of the meal. Overall my food was average, with the chicken and beef for the Fajitas being a bit dry. My girlfriend commented that her beans had no taste. Perhaps it was just a busy night here, but I think I'll stick with the one on West End.

I'll start by saying that I'm not really a huge fan of Mexican food... in fact, I went on a mission trip to Mexico for a week and a half and disliked the food so much that I kind of starved myself. finicky? yes! Anyway, my parents came to visit me from out of town and this was literally the only sit down place that was open this late in West Nashville. I was kind of reluctant to go, but my parents kind of dragged me in (they are a bit more adventurous than I am). At first look, the place seemed a bit sketchy (not gonna lie... I was scared), but I've come to realize that this place is really a hidden gem. The staff there are really friendly and they try to encourage you to speak Spanish (which can be amusing when my dad tries to prove his skills). The prices are really good and the atmosphere is that of a local pub (do we have that in Nashville??) ... its just a comfortable place I would go to take my girlfriends for a few drinks and to hang out and yet at the same time it would be comfortable enough for a family with young children to come. And the food was so tasty. The salsa is great on their homemade chips! And I ate everything on my plate, which was HUGE. The steak fajitas with onions, peppers, and guacamole was so good. mmmm. I'm craving it right now :P Some side notes, apparently the salsa can be made super spicy, so for spice enthusiasts, like my brother, this is definitely something to look forward to. Also, while some people have complained about the slow service, I'd have to say that when I went, they were very attentive...

Decent food, excellent service. I've never been during the lunch hour, only at dinner when I visit Nashville. Food is always fresh and I always order the white cheese to go with the chips. Seems like a typical Mexican restaurant to me, nothing stands out to expound upon.
(3)Brandi H.
This is one of the best places to hang when friends come in town. Fried ice cream, cheese dip and chips, and what feels like half a gallon of margarita? for less than $15? and a patio where we can smoke? If there's a better place in the world, I haven't found it!
(4)Gary W.
I have been going to this Las Palmas for over a decade and even dropped sandwiches off to the work crew busily repairing the building following Nashville's flood. If you're looking for world-class Mexican food, go elsewhere. But, if you're searching for reasonably tasty food served quickly at fair prices, a fun atmosphere, and great staff who take care of you, then head on over. It is hard to find a better "people watching" venue than this Las Palmas. People from all walks of life, income strata, races, orientations, and levels of sobriety sit and enjoy each other's company here. Of course, being a voyeur is more fun when partaking of the neon green margarita made from a vast and varied collection of unnatural ingredients. Still, throw your wisdom and conservative health precautions to the wind and enjoy libations and your meal at Las Palmas on Charlotte! By the way, the Charlotte Pike Las Palmas restaurant is the first and oldest one in Nashville.

This place is located off of Charlotte and can look a little questionable but it's a little hidden gem if you are looking for some good mexican food this side of town. My husband has been here 3 times already and I finally went with him. We went on a Sunday for lunch. Food was great. I had a enchillada and my husband had the chili verde. The service is not the fastest but it's not slow either. The place was half full and the waiters were very nice. I know we will be going here again since it's close by. Check it out if you are in the area and want some Mexican food.
(4)Cara P.
My husband loves Las Palmas. It's his baseline to compare other Mexican restaurants to. And the Palmas Verde location near us, while not spectacular, is fairly good. So when he wanted to go to this location for lunch, I was okay with that. The chips were nice & hot, and sturdy (although the salsa was just okay). So why the one-star rating? They brought out our meals and did the whole "Be careful, the plate is very hot" routine--even to the point of wearing oven mitts. So I want to know, if the plate is so hot, why was my chile colorado & rice cold?? The beans were an acceptable temp (not hot, though), but the rest of the food was cold. When we finally flagged down a server and sent it back, it took a long while to get my food. Much longer than it took to throw my plate in the microwave, which is what they did. They didn't even bother to wipe the rim of the plate where the food splashed when they stirred it during the nuking process, so there was dried chile colorado on the edge. My husband had the baked potato with fajitas over it. He said his potato had been pre-baked, stored in the fridge, and then warmed up. C'mon guys. You're not cheap enough that you can claim "you get what you pay for", and it wasn't a busy time so you also can't claim you were too slammed to do it right.

The daughter comes home for the holidays and one of her few requests is cheap Mexican food. Not fancy. The best is in Franklin - Camino Real off West Main and Rosa Cantina in East Nashville and Las Maracas over off Gallatin Pike. Since those were all too far, we stumbled on Las Palmas. I'm born and raised in Southern California on authentic Mexican food, not the processed Tex-Mex that litters the interstate offramps throughout the south. The real deal. I want my chips hot and not sweet. Salsa's gotta be spicy and the food has to be hot with plenty of options. And the Margaritas? Generous in size with a little kick. Las Palmas fits the bill. Cheap. Fast service. Good Food and, did I say, cheap?

I haven't been to this Las Palmas location in a long time until recently. Most of my Las Palmas experience has been at lunch time at the location near Baptist. I think I'll stick there next time, as the service is quite a bit faster and the food a little better. My beans had ZERO flavor to them, but the food was at least hot. Of course, if you ever get cold food at a Mexican restaurant, then something is wrong. I had the combination plate of cheese enchilada, beef burrito with rice and beans. My two bites of my boyfriend's fajitas were really good, so I think I'll get the fajitas next time. I didn't really have a bad experience, I just know that I've had better at the other location. The food was decent, but as 2 stars indicated, "Meh. I've experienced better." Las Palmas coupons are easy to find. I believe they're often in the Nashville electric bills. I see $5 off 2 dinner coupons all the time.

One of my favorite places in nash. They are always busy but I've never had to "wait". Staff is friendly and food is really good. It looks like a "hole in the wall" Mexican place on a nicer scale .. but the food is really really good! The cheese dip is exceptional!! I am a fajita girl when I want Mexican food and I will say that they aren't the best. The mushrooms are out of a can and it's not "great" .. but are good and CHEAP! The people I eat with love what they get. Overall a great place to go with friends ... especially if on a budget. They are voted one of Nashville's best over and over and over ... I can see why for sure!
(4)Chef X.
Las Palmas is really about the sh*ttiest food in town and the Charlotte location is by far the worst of the three stores I've tried. The West End location is much better IF you absolutely have to eat here. In Nashville it's La Hacienda or make it yourself.
(1)Sissy D.
Well I had to knock this place down a little....The staff, atmosphere , and cleanliness is still really great but the food has went downhill. I have tried different menu/priced items and have ate there at different times of day but the quality and taste of the food is just not good anymore. Hope they get back to serving quality tasty food....Soon!
(2)Veronica M.
The only thing I would recommend from here is the margaritas. Granted, I'm from Texas so my standards for Mexican food are very high but las palmas doesn't even come close. The portions are tiny, the food is overpriced, and it isn't flavorful. Very far from authentic but fits the mold of most Mexican restaurants in Nashville.
(2)Lisa E.
This place hit the spot for a Mexican craving. Service was pretty good even with several large groups in the area. - First thing to consider: chips and salsa. The salsa was thick and heavy, too much tomato flavor and too little other flavors, almost like ketchup, but easily edible. The chips were fine. - Second consideration: margaritas. We were warned not to go for the regular margaritas so we went for top shelf and they were very good. Will get them again. - Third critical item for us: cheese dip. We really went for cheese dip and drinks and tried both the bean dip and cheese dip. The bean dip came in a large bowl/plate with some cheese in it. It was very good especially if you want mostly beans. The cheese dip was a small bowl with just good cheese. It hit the spot was but so small, especially compared to the bean dip. With both being under $3, no serious complaints here. We did pay for two sides of jalapenos which helped make both dips better. I would like to see the offer of a few free tortillas come with cheese dip. - Final key area: menu and food. The menu looked solid, offering many options for vegetarians who wanted more than just beans or cheese as fillings. After sharing two dips, we only had room to try a side of enchiladas. We thought they were fine and liked the option of buying a la carte. All in all, even though I wasn't pleased with the salsa, this was a solid Mexican chain that will hit the spot for a fast fix any day. Just stick with top shelf if you want margaritas.
