Excellent Mexican food, fresh and authentic, feels like it's Hidden because its no where near all the restaurants on Harem which makes for a cozy laid back setting. Guac is really good, their ' carne Asada ' is excellent!
The food is authentic and very tasty. Good pricing for the amount of food provided. Fast service. Highly recommend. Chicken soup also is delicious
The food was average, and the servers were great while taking the order; it was inexpensive compared to other Mexican restaurants around the area.
I can not elaborate how much I enjoyed their chimichangas the crisp was so light and perfect! When I applied their homemade hot sauce my tongue was on fire but I couldn’t stop the rush of spices it even cleared my sinuses. The chicken was extremely soft. I had a tamarind margarita and that was extremely refreshing I felt so blessed to be able to share this experience with family who recommended this establishment...we wouldn’t be able to enjoy this meal without them. Thank you so much I can’t wait to go back again to try out more of their other delicious dishes.
Las Palmas is awesome! The Mexican food is awesome! Always have good service and great food! Really enjoy their fajitas. The margaritas and drinks are always tasty. All their dishes are great. They do a nice job! Good prices too!
I absolutely love Las Palmas Mexican restaurant in the heart of Harwood heights and norridge in the northwest side of Chicagoland. This restaurant is an absolute gem in a wonderful and friendly neighborhood. The food is fantastic, we always get a picture of their top shelf margaritas and they are totally worth every penny! We have gotten their fajita platter and there is so much food! The enchiladas are fantastic, tacos are fantastic and it is very easy to park because they have their own parking lot.
The food was FANTASTIC! Everyone was friendly, especially our waitress. It was my wife's Birthday. Our waitress and a waiter came out with mariachi and sang to her. There was 5 of us there at 4:00, we didn't feel rushed. It was nice.
This restaurant is our go-to for authentic Mexican cuisine. It’s a cozy, family-friendly spot with ample seating and a welcoming bar area. They offer outdoor dining when the weather allows. Their margaritas are excellent, with a variety of flavors to try. The service is top-notch, with cheerful and professional staff. The food is consistently amazing—we’ve sampled nearly everything on the menu. This time, we enjoyed the steak and shrimp dinner plate, along with steak and enchiladas. If you’re in the area, be sure to stop by for a fantastic dining experience that will leave you feeling satisfied and content.
