Las Palmas Mexican Restaurant and Bar — Restaurant in Norwood Park Township

Went this past Tuesday and had a terrible experience. Service was extremely slow and when our waitress was more concerned with the tables outside, then her one table inside, we had to ask another server for refreshed drinks (and napkins) after they remained empty for about fifteen minutes (we did not have cocktails only pop). We ordered combo fajitas and a combo plate. The fajitas were extremely dry and tasteless. They weren’t seasoned at all. the Guacamole had no taste to it either. A few of the servers were eating in the restaurant while waiting on tables which was strange to me. After another server brought us drinks our server stopped over and brought two more drinks and didn’t ask how our food was or if we needed anything? At this point we wanted to leave so we asked for the check, boxes, and a few more tortillas. There was a man standing in the front at the bar who our server appeared to ask to get us the items we requested. We saw him go in back bring them out and go to a table who was already done eating. We were the only other people actually with food on the table (there were only two tables occupied besides us)and he looked at us and then just walked in the back. We sat for another ten minutes while our waitress was outside or taking phone orders and I was finally able to flag her down and told her we never got boxes, tortillas, or the check. All she said was sorry then we waited while she went and got the check and a box but no tortillas. We left completely unwilling to ever go back and we had been there a few times previously. Very disappointed but we will spend our money at other local businesses who appreciate...

This place is unique!!! It is a traditional Mexican restaurant. When I say restaurant, I do not mean fast food, Mexican. I mean good, large portioned, delicious, homelike food served here. We have been coming since it opened and since they had another Las Palmas in Evanston since the 80s and this place still provides grade A food and service. We ordered the Carne Asada platter. No restaurant that I have been to in Chicago nor surrounding suburbs have served such a thick and juice Carne Asada. Our agua de horchata was served in a margarita glass which feels nice. Our server Juanita Is super helpful, attentive, and nice! The tortillas here are made fresh in-house. We also ordered a guacamole and queso fundido, which I cannot find anywhere else here. The guacamole was very delicious with a lot of flavor. We also ordered flan, fried plantains with sour cream, and mango cheesecake. All desserts were delicious. If you have never had the plantains with sour cream, the sour cream has sugar and cinnamon in it. The flan was perfect, not too dry not too gelatinous. The cheesecake was a nice slice. You can taste the food is very fresh here in comparison to other Mexican restaurants I have been to this is by far my favorite and will continue to always be my favorite until someone can do something better than this restaurant.

All I have to say in wow! My mom and I came here on our way back from a show in downtown and we were super hungry. We live in the area but never knew this place was here and randomly decided to stop in. This was about a hour and a half before closing so there was only one other person there.

It was exactly what we were looking for, somewhere quiet and relaxing to eat. First of all, our waitress Estefani was absolutely wonderful. She was so sweet and always made sure we had everything that we needed. She even taught us some Spanish and we taught her some Russian! Now the food, absolutely delicious. Alot of restaurants we've been to you either get good food but little portions or big portions but not so great food. Not only was the food delicious but you also get a really good amount. The prices are also super reasonable.

We also stayed until the closing time and we didn't feel at all rushed to leave like alot of other places. About 15 minutes before closing we asked our waitress if it was too late to order some flan for dessert. She said of course and brought us some delicious flan!

Overall just a great, cozy, friendly and relaxing atmosphere and the entire staff was great. Definitely recommend trying this place out and we'll definitely be back!

Huge thank you to the staff for the great visit and happy...
