This last time was a challenge as my father is very picky and his dish was too spicy for him (actually quite flavorful, but not for him). Instead he just wanted coffee and cake. The server and manager tag-teamed and took care of the situation. He had an incredible tres-leches cake with a very tasty sweet coffee. When the bill came, no charge for the cake and coffee (I had his entree packet to go and thoroughly enjoyed it the next day). Always a joy to go there. Be mindful the atmosphere is lively and any birthday becomes a restaurant-wide celebration. Get the fish tacos or chicken enchiladas or go out with the molcajete.

I recommend chopping them finer yourself to replicate the dine-in presentation. Also worth mentioning that properly warming the tortillas if you don't get them warmed is key. If the tortilla is cracking when you fold it, you didn't warm it right.

A recent meal at Las Palmas was a real treat.  It began with the usual chips and salsa ... but I was careful not to eat too many because I had a lot of food still to come.  The queso fundido was served piping hot a la plancha.  This version emphasizes a seasoned ground beef as much as it does the cheese and it is simply delicious.  But again I still had my main entrée to arrive.  My principle plate was an amazing Parrillada - again served sizzling hot a la plancha.  The beef and pork and shrimp were enhanced by greens, scallions, cactus, & peppers amid a light sauce.  To the side were rice, frijoles, greens, and pico de gallo to add to this feast. Of course I wound up taking much of this tasty dish home where I enjoyed it again the next day. The service was friendly and the prices are very low compared to other Mexican restaurants in the burbs which are much less authentic.  I highly recommend Las Palmas del Sur in downtown Norristown.

I'm on a quest to try as many taco joints as possible since I got my new job here in Norristown…read more The first place I tried was Las Palmas. It's a small yet festive looking store front on Main Street right near the courthouse. It wasn't crowded and they had a tv with Mexican shows playing. I stopped in and ordered two tacos... one pastor and one tripa. They came out quickly and were served with a basket of warm chips with beans and cheese and two types of salad. The greens salsa was fresh and not too spicy. The red one was spicy and full of Chile flavor. My tacos were perfect. The pastor had nice chunks of pineapple and weren't too greasy. The tripa was clean --and very flavorful. My lunch came to $6. The service was friendly and fast and the tacos were great. I will definitely be back.

Served piping hot in a molcajete was a tasty combo of shrimp, chorizo, and chuleta (pork chop) with cheese cactus, cambray, fried jalapeno, pico de gallo, and avocado. Warm tortillas came with the feast. I couldn't eat everything so enough went home for another meal. Service was very efficient and friendly.

The salsa is super legit and pretty spicy. My husband grew up in California surrounded by Mexican food and he said this was some of the best salsa he's had. I also really enjoyed my horchata. At first, I thought it was a bit too sweet, but after eating a bunch of spicy food, it was actually perfect. Interior was cute and quirky with ample seating, although some of it was a bit old (like the high chair was kind of beat up). Service was friendly and fast. It was a great meal after going to the Elmwood zoo because it's right around the corner from there, so no need to get overpriced zoo pizza or hot dogs!

It was incredible, but there was only one poblano and I was really craving another. I could have had 4, but for $22, I think 2 would have been fair. Again, everything was delicious. We are not tequila people, but we got an expensive flight of tequila that we didn't love, but we knew that was the likely outcome when we ordered it. We will be back!
