Chicken was pretty good too as sometimes it can get dry but they did a solid job cooking this. Barbacoa was super juicy and flavorful. The 3 salsas they have are great too but none of them were too spicy. You have to pay for water (like 2-3 dollars for a bottle) which is kinda silly. Chips and salsa were mediocre since the chips were really cold and definitely not fresh.

Absolutely loved our visit to Cuates Kitchen! From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable--attentive, friendly, and quick to offer recommendations. We started with a round of their house margaritas. The star of the night, however, was the Enmoladas. The mole sauce was rich and flavorful, with a depth of spice and chocolate that was both authentic and comforting. The tortillas were soft, and the filling was generous and satisfying. If you're looking for a neighborhood gem with delicious food and excellent drinks, Cuates Kitchen is a must-try. read more

I tried the salmon à la creama for my entree. Absolutely nothing special about this. My friends tried the chicken fajatas and pronounced it meh. Husband had the pollo à la plancha which was good. The chicken was cooked perfectly and had a nice sear. One good dish out of five makes this a no return for me. Also service was inattentive.

LOVE this place. God bless the people who came up with Las Palmas…read more First of all, please never change the queso- it is heaven sent and we always take it to-go (I'm NEVER leaving the rest behind) and it tastes even better the next day. This queso is probably the best I've ever had. BTW it is a LIL spicy but I can let that slide. Another great appetizer option would be the Nachos Al Carbon with wagyu. Super good too & honestly you can even order it for just one person as a main dish-- the serving size is big enough. BUT THE REAL STAR OF THE SHOW AT LAS PALMAS ARE THE WAGYU FAJITAS!!! Incredible. Comes with flour or corn tortillas, beans, rice, and obviously the works: sour cream, guacamole, lettuce. You know the vibes. Speaking of vibes, they're always there at Las Palmas. It is always busy but I genuinely don't care and never mind waiting an hour and a half for our table. It's worth it. This place is a confirmed staple in Dallas. Probably come here once a month if not more often. Thank you for great food and good service too- that's hard to come by nowadays. TRY THIS PLACE OUT! This is your sign!

Our cocktails were all good - and the appetizers were very good. We had the crispy pork belly and the tostaditas with barbacoa. The crispy pork belly was especially delicious and I would order as my own dinner in the future. It comes with onions and sauces and corn tortillas and it's to die for - so crispy and flavorful. We ordered the Bistec enchiladas and they were good but not as good as the appetizers. They give you a variety of sauces when you're seated that you keep throughout the meal - from mild to spicy but I would say the "spicy" is on the mild side. Still good and flavorful but not unapproachable for most ppl. We had the Campechana dessert and it was a little strange. It was basically a vanilla Icecream cake with a crispy waffle cone like layering that was really hard to break until it sat a while. It was oddly addicting but also not that good? I can't explain it. We went to the cigar lounge area after dinner and had Mexican espresso martinis and watched football before heading home. There was little smoke smell but very minimal until it got later. Around 8:30 (on a Saturday night) ppl started smoking cigars and they opened the side windows and being 90degrees right now - it became less enjoyable so we decided to end the night. In the fall that room would probably be quite lovely with the windows open. They have comfortable seating and fire pits. Really more of a 4.5 out of 5. Loved the decor near the restrooms and patio too.

The blood orange cocktail had the perfect amount of sour and sweet & the margarita was just a classic good drink. The tostada appetizers were good, but they lacked flavor and needed more seasoning.

The Carne Asada came out very seasoned along with the vegetables. The side of corn was creamy and tasty, it just took away from the corn flavor. I really liked the churros as they were soft on the inside, and the caramel sauce was a perfect touch. The ambience inside is nice and the service was friendly.
