I'm back in Nashville to be with the daughter! Our first stop for dinner after a long flight was (of course) Las Palmas. It was like I never left. We started with complimentary chips and salsa. Our orders ended up being identical to the first time I came here -- Quesabirria Tacos for her and Chimichanga for me. Both were just as I remembered -- fresh and flavorful! Service is still friendly and attentive. No wonder our daughter has remained a regular. I'm sure we'll be back a couple more times before my visit ends. :) read more

I should have known by the 3.2 average review. But I walked by and it was packed. So I thought why not. Bad choice. Sat at the bar and ordered a Cadillac margarita. I watched at it got poured from a pre mix jug. Next was chips and salsa. Salsa in name only. Tomato sauce more like. The burrito was barely edible. Watery cheese and no flavor. I thought to myself, how is this place so crowded?? It's cheap. That's it. So if you want bad Mexican food cheap. This is your place. read more

Super friendly staff and amazing deal for lunch. I paid $8 (Speedy Gonzales) for 1taco and one enchilada with refried beans. Homemade hot sauce is a plus and includes chips and salsa read more

Came here for dinner before the Yamaha Drums event at the Hutton. This is a nice Mexican restaurant with very good service & very delicious food! The ambiance is quiet & relaxing. Also seems to be a drummer's hangout, which I think is great. Many drummers were there for dinner, along with us! read more

Ate here on November 1, 2025. This is a classic, low-frills Mexican spot from a local Nashville chain--fast, friendly service and great food. It's not upscale, and it's not Cali-Mex or Tex-Mex. It's the dependable kind of place where "Speedy Gonzalez" is on the lunch menu (you know if you know). We ordered the Speedy Gonzalez for lunch and it was exactly as I remembered from a few years back. We've probably eaten here more than a dozen times and will certainly swing back by next time we're in Nashville. read more

Nice decor and traditional Mexican music playing . That is as gas as traditional goes , this is like TexMex . Food is different but still good , I would say little above average . I got chori pollo and a bless your heart taco . The chori pollo was just alright , the chorizo was dry with no grease . It came with Mexican rice and steamed veggies . Now that taco was something else . Had the perfect flavor mix with the pastor and the mango sauce on a purple corn tortilla . Going to go back just for the tacos . I can't give it a 4* but 3* is still low . This is a 3.5* TexMex style place . If you like that style then I would say just go you will not be disappointed. If you like traditional but wouldn't mind trying non traditional then I would say give it a shot . I was still pleasantly surprised. read more

The service here is great and quick ! The ambience inside feels like a typical Mexican restaurant which is a comforting vibe when eating Mexican food. Great location nearby Vanderbilt campus so it's popular among students. Nothing bad to say about food or prices. I had a ground beef quesadilla and it was filling, came with a variety of small sides, and delicious. My friend got a steak burrito and loved it. We also had the queso dip which we enjoyed even though it was pretty liquid-y. I've also heard amazing things about their margaritas! Overall: a solid Mexican food spot in Midtown with good food, prices, and vibes read more

Las Palmas is a solid Mexican spot with well seasoned food. As normal, they bring out chips and salsa. The chips were fresh and warm and the salsa had good spice. We had the guacamole dip (not the fresh made) and it needed a little salt but that's just a slight preference for me. We had a Las Palmas mezcalita flight that had prickly pear and passionfruit flavored drinks. For food we had the shrimp fajitas and tacos al carbon (both pictured) I wasn't a fan of the rice at all, but the steak in the tacos were very tasty! read more

DONOT visit any Las Palms location if you have a service dog. Customer service regarding management was consistently extremely rude at both Nashville locations. The embarrassment associated with their rudeness left me standing numb at the hostess stand on each occasion. I made a formal complaint with corporate office and was sent a generic "we're sorry" and then they forwarded a $5 gift certificate. No thanks. How about fix your standing policy of terrible customer service regarding service dogs and the existing multiple interrogation questionnaire that goes far beyond mandated state policy. read more

This five star rating is solely based on the margaritas: They should be the blueprint for all margaritas everywhere. Feeling classic? Lime, on the rocks, with salt. Feeling FUN & FRUITY?! The frozen tropical. I cannot think of a better environment to sip (or, if you're me, gulp) down a marg with the girlies. Tell them Lily sent you! Actually don't, not yet. I've only been once. Maybe in like, 2025, once I've established my reputation as a regular, you can tell them Lily sent you. read more

Not sure why this was voted best Mexican restaurant of 2022, the service was horrible and the food was mediocre. Some coworkers and I went on a Thursday afternoon and waited a ridiculous amount to be served. To top it off, we got the wrong ticket and had to wait for that to get rectified. The location was empty, but I believe they had only 1 waitstaff that I noticed. Our food, which consisted of fajitas with the wrong meat and corn, which was just ok. I just can't see myself recommending this location or giving it another try. read more

The staff are extremely helpful and attentive, the atmosphere is great, and the food is delicious! Highly recommend. It's my favorite Mexican restaurant in Nashville read more

The " hot " sauce served with chips is absolutely disgusting it's either ketchup or just a big pile of tomato paste one of the worst things I've ever tasted. All of the chips were stale. I ordered a Honky Tonk taco which was literally a tortilla covered with small bits of onions and tomatoes with maybe three or four pieces of over cooked / chewey meat. I will say the rice was about the only thing that tasted good would have been better off going to McDonald's or Burger King read more

We ate here with my father in law. Staff was great and very patient with us since we never been here before. The food was amazing and everything we could have asked for. The environment of this place was pretty nice also. We will definitely come back!!! read more

There's nothing better than finding a relaxed Mexican spot to start off your night with a drink, and Las Palmas did just that on our recent visit on a Sunday evening. We ventured in after checking into our nearby hotel for a refreshment, and found the dimly-lit and nicely-spaced bar a great spot for a quiet drink before hitting the town. She settled on a margarita, whereas I had a huge modelo with lime, a perfect respite for the late summer weather. read more

This used to be one of my favorite Mexican restaurants to eat. I remembered why I stopped coming. Upon entrance, Diego starred at me and didn't say a word. So I said "2" . He pulled one menu out and walked away (no indication to follow him ) he went to the table directly behind the host stand; Sat the menu on the table, looked at me and pointed. I went and sat. A few minutes later, someone brought chips and salsa. (The only halfway decent part of the meal) Lucky me, "Mr. Personality" (Diego) is our server. He came back, finally spoke to me to ask what to drink. Through the entire visit, he was unpleasant and gave the vibe if we were bothering him if we had a request. A constant frown on his face. If you like Italian burritos this is the place for you! Nothing about it is Mexican. The little green specs you see in the red sauce, is parsley. Not cilantro. It taste like spaghetti burritos. No exaggeration, TERRIBLE. The red sauce is not a "Mexican" sauce. What made it worse, I ordered a shrimp burrito. (Ever had shrimp with spaghetti sauce? ) Absolutely no seasoning on the hamburger meat in the taco. Extremely bland. Worse Mexican rice I've ever had. Even the salsa couldn't spice these dishes up to taste good. Worse experience ever. I won't make the mistake of wasting my time and money here again. read more

This location is very Tex-Mex. It's located near various hotels in the Nashville area so getting there is so convinent. The drinks were delicious. The service was okay but they stay busy.

Las Palmas - Cucumber jalapeno margarita - Mexican Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

A Nashville staple. Not the best mex I've ever had but always decent. Everyone I know eats here regularly. Quick, inexpensive, and tasty.

I have been a frequent customer lately, every time fast and fresh, friendly and helpful staff-very generous with free hot tortilla chips and salsa. The only improvement would be the basic house margarita, might be a mix, tastes very generic-but has a low price read more

You receive a good portion of food that is very good!! Love the chops and salsa always a clue to the quality of the meal.. great drink.

Service: Weak. I almost left because it took forever to be waited on. Then when it was time to leave, I could not get my ticket. And it was about 3 pm in the afternoon, so it wasn't very busy. Food: Average - nothing to write home about. I ordered fajitas, and they were not sizzling when they arrived like I prefer (and no smell of lime in them). They do not have poblanos, only green bell peppers, so I had them use jalapeños in place of the bell peppers which I don't like. At home (VA) we have white sauce in addition to red that comes with the tortilla chips, seemed odd not having that. Environment: Fine. Things seemed clean, nothing out of the ordinary. TVs were on, but were not on any channels of interest, seemed to be tuned to channels more for the staff than the guests. Price: Slightly above average cost - $15.99 for a single serving of fajitas. When I'm in town again, I'll look elsewhere. read more

Food was great and the drinks were even better. Their happy hour is later than the usual and a lot longer (5-8pm) so we definitely took advantage of that. I got a frozen mango margarita and it was spot on. Food wise I tried the LP special with grilled chicken and shrimp which was also very tasty. The service was very quick and attentive at the beginning but then it took FOREVER to get our check at the end. The parking lot is also a slight nightmare. read more

Las Palmas - LP Special - Mexican Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Continues full steam ahead in a quest to be mediocre in everything. From my first time here til now, it's like they've hired a blandness coach for every aspect of the business. The margs are so boring and middling now. The food has a level of bland which must actively sought out. Now: American "Mexican" food is mostly a mess and what most Americans consider this, is way off authentic Mexican. Having lived in Guanajuato and Durango for most of a decade, true Mexican food isn't this over-spiced, over-seasoned crap you get in the States. But it does have flavor and a soul. And everything here from the queso fundido to the enchiladas to the salsa to the margaritas are horrifically tasteless. You'd have to boil your ground beef to make it as tasteless and boring as the ground beef served here. read more

I visited Nashville over the MLK holiday weekend 2024. On Sunday night it started snowing earlier than predicted but we needed dinner. The food scene in Nashville hadn't impressed me at all by that point so I decided to leave my hotel downtown and drive further into the real Nashville to get Mexican food. Mexican food is always reliably good in my opinion. Las Palmas showed up in my search so I ordered online and paid in advance for a quick pickup. In no time, I got a text saying my order was ready for pickup. I was immediately impressed by the speed of service. I was already in route so I get to the restaurant three minutes later. The sign on the building literally says Fast. Fresh. Friendly. I go in and there's a lady behind the host stand and she's typing receipts into a calculator. She doesn't look up or say hello or anything. There's a couple standing there and a different employee is saying something to them, then the employee walks off. They're still standing there and I still haven't been acknowledged or greeted at all. I say to the lady behind the host stand, "Excuse me, Hi. I placed an order online and just want to pick it up." Mind you, I SEE the order on a shelf right in front of me; right behind where she's standing. She can stay planted where she is, not move her feet one inch, reach to her right, grab my food and hand it to me. She doesn't do that. Instead she looks up from her receipts that are much more important than the paying customer who came in out of the snow and is standing in front of her and she very flatly says "I'll be with you in a minute." Then she looks back down and continues with her receipts. The couple standing there looks at me and I say "I already paid; I just wanna grab and go." They don't respond and neither does the hostess. I stand there at least 5 more minutes wishing I had not paid in advance because I'd just walk out and not patronize this business but since I did pay, I wait. During this time, three separate male employees came from different areas of the restaurant, greeted me, and asked if I needed help. I appreciated them at least saying hello and asking what I needed. Once each of them learned I had a to-go order, they said "Oh, she has to help you." So I'm still standing there. After more than 5 minutes, the lady asks "What did you order?" Such an odd question. Most people ask for the name on the order, not for you to list your menu items. So I say "The last name on the order is (name)." She says my first name and I say "yes". She hands me the food and doesn't say anything. A male employee nearby thanks me for coming in. I thank him back and leave. I was SO disappointed with this experience. When I walked in, that lady could have looked up from what she was doing and simply said "Hi. I'll be right with you." I would've stood there with no problem and waited for her to get to me. But to not acknowledge the presence of another human being who is patronizing your business is just poor customer service. It was my first time in the city and this is what I was met with. So the sign on the advertisement is a lie. Fast, yes. Fresh, yes. The food was fine. Friendly...absolutely not. VANESSA needs training so she learns how to say "Hello" when a person walks in the door and is standing in front of her. I do plan to come back to Nashville but I would not return to this restaurant even if the food was free. read more

We found this place while in Nashville for a long weekend and were sure glad we did. The margaritas are great and very cheap during their happy hour which covers you into late dinners. I got the "LP special" with chicken and chorizo and it was wonderful. My wife got chimichangas and they were huge and delicious. Authentic Mexican food found here for sure. We will be back.

I came in and was immediately greeted and lead to seating quickly. After sitting down, I was brought hot chips. The salsa was very good. I ordered water and a lime margarita to drink. I arrived at around 5pm. They had happy hour from 5-8. Such luck! By 5:15-5:20, my main entree was served. Pipping hot! I ordered the Enchiladas Supremas. And Supremas it was! I could barley finish it all. The food was delicious. This is the best authentic Mexican restaurant in Nashville! A perfect price for the perfect meal. The staff is very attentive and friendly. I would 100% recommend! read more

I haven't been to this location since the much needed renovations and remodel so I must say, I like it. My girlfriend and I ate dinner here on a Saturday afternoon. We were seated immediately and greeted by our server, who brought out complimentary salsa and warm chips. I ordered my favorite a small Mango Margarita and Bean Burrito Especial without cheese or Sour Cream. ****PSA******Their margaritas are that good that the alcohol will sneak up on you so drink responsibly. For real. ;-) The food came out quickly. It was warm, the veggies were fresh, and I enjoyed every bite. Our server was attentive to our table and often asked if we needed anything. Street and private lot parking is available but not the AT&T lot or you will get towed. Reasonable prices with vegetarian options. You can't go wrong with Mexican food or this Las Palmas. read more

I just received my food from Door dash. When I say this is the grossest thing I ever put in my mouth, I could just puke! I should return it for a refund. It's raining and I don't want to go out. This food is soooo salty, I need a pitcher of water, instead I have to throw my money in the trash, because there NO way of getting this stuff down.

If I can give minus stars, I will put minus 5 stars. It's so unbelievably bad service and food. We seated there for at least 20 mins before waiter showed up. And I asked for hot water with lemon 3 times, she hen he come back told they didn't have. I never have the shrimp cocktail that bad. They put ketchup and sugar in the shrimp cocktail. The worst part is we ask a to-go box and checks, it take more than 30 minutes. The end we just put cash on table and lift. By the way, the wait's attitude was horrible! read more
