Not only did I learn a lot about about the menu, but he shared personal stories from his birth nation of Venezuela as I waited for my freshly prepared meal. I knew that I wanted to try my first Arepa, so I let Jose decide which of the 6 options I should. His favorite was Reina Pepiada; shredded chicken, avocado and mayo stuffed inside a split open patty of fried corn dough. The flavorful cold "chicken salad" complimenting the hot grilled pancake. A great choice. The $13 combo also came with a side of black beans, rice and fried plantains. Make sure you ask for a cup of the mango-habanero sauce if you dare. Potent and delicious for dipping or giving a kick to the rice and beans. Picnic tables are available in the back if you are not taking back to the office or house. Eager to try the Cuban or steak sandwich on the menu.

We loved the little set up with a great amount of seating, a clean bathroom, and outlets for people who want to study or get some work done. We were a little hungry and got the empanadas and both tried the Yerba mate. We've never had the traditional yerba mate and were excited we could try it here. Once our order was ready one of the employees was happy to explain to us how to properly drink the yerba mate. She was patient, kind, and professional the whole time. There's definitely a trick to drinking it without getting the tea leaves through the straw. As we enjoyed our snack and drink we could tell the caffeine kicks in a little later. So, if you're up to trying traditional yerba mate, be aware that you'll get a gradual burst of energy a little later. I personally loved the decor and the atmosphere here. They had little knick knacks you could purchase, a small refrigerator with items to take with you as well. I got a couple of key chains for my sister and myself and my boyfriend and I have already noted that we want to come back here the next time we're in Kansas City!

Las Palmas' food is FANTASTIC. Family-friendly service as soon as you walk in. It's a no-frills kind of place that isn't trying to dazzle you with decor; they'd rather delight your palate. Chips & salsa are complementary - and the salsa has a nice kick to it - and the menu is ginormous! Authentic soups & torta options as well as traditional TexMex faves are served with an extra Latin twist. I did the chimichanga on this visit and I was so happy that I did. Freshly packed, lightly covered in a queso, with rice & black beans riding shotgun. So good! Throw in the crema and the avocado and this plate was straight from south of the border. My experiences with Nicaraguan and El Salvadoran food have been so similar to the dishes that I've gotten at Las Palmas. Rice & beans are a must on each plate, and the genuine home-cooked flavors come bursting in each forkful. Parking is fairly easy along Minnesota Ave and the downtown KCK area is fairly walkable anyway. Pricing is very reasonable but the value leaves the prices way behind - you are getting what you came for when you stop in to Las Palmas. Bona fide Latin American tastes await!

There are so many Mexican restaurants in this area, so it is difficult to decide. We looked on…read moreGoogle and found an amazing picture of their fajitas. We ordered 4 combinations of fiesta fajitas, 3 shrimp tacos, refried beans, guacamole, chips, and salsa. The portions of the extra sides were super small, and the prices were a bit higher than expected. The fajitas were a nice portion and super savory, but they only come with 2 tortillas. I would definitely go back for the fajitas, but I will not order anything extra. We ordered over the phone and picked up in 20-25 minutes, as indicated. Everything was perfectly packaged and warm. It was after 1:30pm, so there was no lunch rush, and it had a relaxed vibe.

Walking in you'll find it's a very bright, cheerful atmosphere, very clean, with about ten tables (I think), and two tv's playing Spanish music. The people are nice and very efficient. Chef Joseph is phenomenal. He was manning the register when I went in. I'd never been to a Mexican & Salvadoran restaurant before. I'm familiar with Mexican American food, a little bit with truly authentic Mexican, and not at all with Salvadoran. Chef Joseph came out from behind the counter and sat at my table explaining the menu to me, the dishes, the flavor profiles. He gave suggestions on what order based on what I told him I liked. I got one of the combo dishes mainly because it offered a variety of proteins and side dishes. I also saw several more items in the menu that I knew I wanted to try on my next visit. The food was delicious! I surprised myself by finishing the whole plate. I was also delighted to find La Cocina De Mary had atole. It's a traditional cold weather drink made with masa harina, milk, and spices. My tia made it when I was a kid, so there's fond memories. This one was better ... and lucky for me tia isn't on Yelp and will never read this. They have soft drinks and a few alcohol drinks that I may try next time. The one that's a bloody mary except with beer instead of vodka sounded interesting. Next time I go, I'm taking FPO with me. This is a great little place and I hope they're there for a long time to come.

Also hard to identify is the unique flavor in the horchata drink, which I really liked too. I want to come back and try every drink. And of course eat more pupusas with curtido, because that slaw is wonderful. My hubby really enjoyed the sauce.

Let's start with the decor: gorgeous, cozy, and tastefully executed--the perfect backdrop for a top-notch dining experience. The staff is personable and warm, and Brandon (the sous chef) was an absolute delight to speak with and learn from. He is truly passionate about oysters and a consummate chef, paying such close attention to the finer details of how to truly enjoy the marvels he flies in fresh to his restaurant. The food: wow. Oysters were as beautiful as they were varied and delicious; jamon iberico de bellota (this was the real deal, by the way) that transported me back to Catalunya; a panko-breaded halibut dish with mashed potatoes and some of the most vibrant collared greens I've ever eaten. EVERYTHING was delivered with such precision and beauty, and the flavors were from another planet. The experience: as good as it gets. Thank you to The Parker Hollow team for an unforgettable culinary adventure!

Or is a cozy bar with comfy chairs, warm lighting and a full menu more your style? No problem - The Parker Hollow is here, AND it has a terrific menu, too! While I had the fisherman's stew (rich, decadent broth, loaded with seafood goodies - no measly Midwestern "here's your requisite two suffering shrimp" here), maybe seafood isn't your thing. And that's okay, because my husband had the Wagyu beef burger just to ease your concerns, and he said it was absolutely fabulous. Or at least his empty plate did. For dessert we suffered through the orange blossom saffron olive oil cake. You read that right - all of those words belong there, in that order. And by "suffer," I obviously mean our usually pretty chill marriage was tested by Who Would Get the Last Bite. It was that flipping good. And rich, and weird. But it was the perfect compliment to our dinner, as was his drink (I cannot remember what it was called, but it tasted like key lime pie and sunshine). We will definitely be back!
