The decor was vibrant, fun and really felt like you stepped into a lil part of Cuba. Empanada-very good, like yum! Croquettes- good- not my fav but good. Yuca frita- umm just delicious! Yuca rellena - different but good! Papa rellena- again different but good. Tamal Cuban- good, different but good Traditional Cuban Sandwich **must have** loaded with meat and flavor I'm glad I tried things I did not know. I will definitely be stopping back in to try more entrees. Was on the water most the morning, after all this goodness I just wanted to go home and curl up! Yum yum yum!!

Yes - love me some Cuban Food. Las Palmas is an authentic Cuban spot right in downtown Mount Dora…read more Our server provided perhaps the most gentle and kindest service I have ever experienced. The place always seems to have a crowd, which speaks well of the restaurant. The prices are affordable and the portion sizes are large. Your meal starts with some warm Cuban bread. Oh! How delicious. For my main entrée, I choose the picadillo - a classic Cuban comfort food - served with rice and beans. I absolutely loved it; the meat was so well seasoned. There was so much food, I couldn't even finish everything on my plate. They also have these cute tropical drinks, and the ambiance overall is casual and laidback. Definitely would come back whenever I am in Mount Dora.

Great place for an affordable healthy lunch! Daily lunch menus, specials and regular meals…read more Food is fresh and nicely prepared. Many chicken and pork selections; several rice, bean, fish, vegetable and salad dishes that are usually very tasty. Had the tilapia daily special. It was prepared well, but lost a star from the poor quality of the actual fish used. Mostly take out but indoor/outdoor dining tables. Don't forget to ask for lime slices and salad dressings. Desserts are regular with a few specials. They also have delicious passion fruit juice!

Latin Flavors... yeah, this place is a problem…read more I ordered once... then ran it back the next night. That doesn't happen unless it's real. The carne guisada? Deep, rich, no shortcuts -- tastes like somebody actually cares back there. Empanada was on point -- crust had that snap, filling didn't play games. And the carne frita... crispy outside, melts like butter inside. Dangerous. Rice and pigeon peas did exactly what they're supposed to do -- hold the whole plate down without stealing the show. No hype, no gimmicks. Just straight-up legit food. If you know, you know... and now you know.

Went in and it looked like a brightly pastel colored Mexican restaurant. It was relatively slow and…read morequiet so our waitress sat as quickly and didn't seem to mind my horribly mispronounced broken Spanish as I ordered. I got a cocktail de camarones and a Molcajete Texano. The cocktail was fine, the shrimp were big, nothing out of the ordinary. The Molcajete however was another story; an absolutely massive pile of food, mostly meat, with crispy chorizo sprinkled on top. Absolutely delicious. I ate all I could and still had enough to bring home. I tend to be the kind of person who does not have leftovers because I'm... Husky. But this was delicious, and a tremendous value. Highest recommendation.

They served a right amount of food and it was filling. The shredded beef was a little salty, but it had great flavor. I did like the plantains and the rice didn't seem dry. Decent pricing. I would order this dish again in the future. There are plenty of tables throughout the restaurant and the staff seemed friendly during my pick up to go order.
