Las Palmas — Restaurant in Dalton

Our family has eaten here off and on for years. Never had a complaint because the food and service are always reliably good. It's one of our go-to spots.

But the other evening, my wife and I stopped in for a quick bite with our 6 month old baby and we had such a great experience that we felt it was worth noting in a 5-star review. Though the restaurant was not crowded, our baby was a little fussy and tired and did not want to sit down long enough for us to eat. But, without hesitation, one of the nicest waitresses came over and asked if she could hold our baby. She was incredibly nice and sweet and we felt really comfortable with her. She took our baby and walked her around the dining room while my wife and I quickly ate our meal. She and the other wait staff were so kind to our baby. They just played with her and walked her around showing her the lights. It was a very kind moment and one that we really appreciated.

Bottom line: We would never expect anyone to offer what she offered. Frankly, in most instances, we wouldn't have accepted an offer like that. We didn't expect it that night and wouldn't expect it again. But, this was a sweet, human moment of kindness shown by a stranger toward us and we were really touched by it. So, we wanted to say thanks to the folks at Las Palmas in the form of a positive review that might help...

!WoW! We were traveling and just needed a place to eat and run. We stopped at Los Palmas expecting nothing in particular but did not expect what we found. Being at a strip mall we didn’t expect to be warped into a small bit of Mexico with real Mexican food! But we seemingly were! They have a real Mariachi band! They sound great too!! I couldn’t believe it and definitely raised the bar in terms of atmosphere!

The staff were humble, kind and courteous.

Fresh guacamole! They even come to your table and make it front of you if you order the right thing. (Presumably) we didn’t order anything that required that but others were.

The food was amazing! I ordered basic tacos 🌮 due to diet restrictions. That combined with all the fresh ingredients made for some of the best Mexican I have had in a very long time.

The food came out reasonably fast and was hot!

The chips and salsa were the only things that were run of the mill standard stuff or left anything to be desired. The salsa needs more body and the chips would have been better if they were hot. Aside from that this place should be on the map. You have a true game...

We've been here many times, because my wife loves it. The food flavors aren't bad at all. Pretty good really for Ameri-Mex. Much better than what you're going to get at say El Nepal. Salsa has a real good flavor. As for a true authentic Mexican cuisine...nope not here. Like I said it's Ameri-Mex. My wife had the taquitos dorados, kids had the normal rice, beans, shrimp and fries. I usually get the Pasta Texana (I know odd...go to a Mexican restaurant and get pasta, but it is good), but this time I just got the spicy salsa. I knew the family would have leftovers and with me on a diet and watching the budget, just waited until then. The family got their dishes before I got mine. Our server disappeared for a bit and no one else checked on us. Maybe she had to go to the bathroom...don't know, but what should have been first was the very last and there was quite a wait for it and refill on chips and drinks. My glass stayed empty for most of the visit. For those 3 to eat and us all get a drink it was $50 with a $7.61 tip. They do not support veteran/military so no military discount...
