John H.

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.

Chicken Tortilla Soup

I thought I was in the Twilight Zone when my daughter chose a Mexican restaurant for dinner the night I arrived in Nashville. Tacos? Not Pasta? She told me that Las Palmas is a favorite amongst her friends. She said the restaurant is clean, service is friendly, and the food is great. She was so right! We were greeted as we walked in. Warm chips and salsa came out as soon as we were seated. My daughter ordered her favorite Quesabirria Tacos, while I chose the Chimichangas. Everything was freshly made, flavorful and delicious! The restaurant is a short walk from my daughter's apartment. We returned two more times before my visit ended. I tried the Chicken Tortilla Soup, Quesabirria Tacos, Chile Colorado and Fried Ice Cream. I wasn't too impressed with the dessert, but the appetizers and entrées we tried were satisfying. All our servers were so nice and consistent. Our orders were taken right away, we were checked on often and our drinks refilled without asking. Parking is free and they give a 10% discount for students. I'm sure I'll be back the next time I'm in Nashville.

Burrito

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

Shrimp fajitas
Vianca P.

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!

Food was so good. Service was a little slow. Pricing is average and comparable to other restaurants.

margareeters
Lily S.

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.

Nice fajita lunch portion size and great flavor. Comes with sour cream and guacamole. Asked to substitute another portion of guacamole for the sour cream. I was told there would be an extra charge. I declined.

Drove down from Southern Illinois and stopped here. The food was delicious! Seasoning/spice was perfect and the margarita was so good!

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

The setup inside is adorable and had a cozy, relaxed vibe from the moment we walked in. Our server, Tom, was absolutely wonderful. He even asked if we had any allergies when ordering, which we really appreciated even though we didn't have any. It honestly showed how much they care about their customers. I don't think I've ever had a restaurant ask that before! He was also super attentive and kept our waters refilled so quickly throughout the meal. One thing we really liked was the atmosphere. We loved all the fun live music spots around Nashville too, but this was a nice change of pace if you're looking for more of a chill, relaxed vibe where you can easily enjoy conversation during dinner. We both ordered the asada tacos and they were SO delicious, exactly what we needed. The rice on the side tasted incredibly fresh too, and the tomato and corn mixed into it were the perfect addition. You could tell everything was made with care. The staff was constantly cleaning tables quickly after guests left, and overall the service was just amazing from start to finish. We had such a wonderful experience and will definitely be coming back next time we're in Nashville!

Super convenient spot located right under the hotel. Perfect accessibility if you're staying…read morenearby. Fish Ceviche: Fresh and tasty but definitely a bit heavy on the cucumber. Asada Tacos: Honestly, pretty bland. The meat was cooked well but it lacked any real flavor. Salmon: Nothing special. Didn't feel like high-grade fish. Pork Belly Tacos (The GOAT): Absolute life-changing Pork Belly. As someone who's eaten a lot of pork belly, this was easily the best I've ever had. I'd come back just for this. The Portion: Tacos come with rice and beans so the portions are very generous. You won't leave hungry. 4/5 stars. The only reason for the 4-star rating is that incredible Pork Belly. It carried the whole meal. Highly recommend for that dish alone!

The place filled up pretty decently for a Monday afternoon, but our service was still great. Spicy, skinny margaritas on happy hour always make me happy. They were good, too -- plus a tajin rim *chefs kiss*. We had chips and salsa, fajitas, tacos, taco salads, and everything was solid. I wouldn't say my salad was mind blowing, but I was happy with it. No gripes from our table and everything came out nice and hot. Our server was very friendly and checked on us consistently, even if it was a glance from afar.

Most of the disappointment came from the hostess, Emily. She seemed rushed the entire time--she took our drink order, but while we were still looking at the menu, she walked away. She came back briefly, then left again, making it hard for us to ask questions or get recommendations. Because of that, we didn't get any guidance on what to order. When the food arrived, mine was way too spicy for me to eat. Thankfully, another waiter stepped in and offered an alternative I might like, which I appreciated. Overall, the service felt rushed and inattentive, and the experience just wasn't enjoyable. I wouldn't go back.
