Las Palmas

Wish I could rate a 3.5. We stopped here for lunch on a road trip and there was plenty of seating. Our server was attentive and timely. There are options for everyone here. The redfish came out on a platter (like fajitas) so the vegetables were awesome but the fish could have been a bit more fresh tasting. My husband had the El Perfecto which consisted of several beef items, and he liked it fine. Overall, this was a good road trip stop, but some flavor expected from Tex Mex style foods was lacking. For those taking Covid safety precautions: we were happy with the space between parties as it wasn't busy at the time. However, none of the staff were masked.

When eating out in Baton Rouge, safety is a big concern, basically you don't want to get murdered, especially when youre hungry. Come to think of it, you wouldn't want to get murdered full either, that's what makes this a great location. You don't feel like you're going to get murdered. Big plus. Deep breath and relax. Las Palmas has the most unique pepper shakers I've ever seen. Not sure who or what you'd need pepper for at a Mexican place, but here they are. I'd love to hear the story of why they need spring loaded caps to keep the pepper in the shakers....what happened? I really enjoyed the design on the table. Sweet tea was good. Service was fast and pleasant.

Stopped here on my way back home to Texas, where the real Tex-Mex is. I digress. The food here comes close and is packed with lots of flavor, with the exception of their beans. Hello seasoning, are you there? They offer a wide variety of items from grilled fish to Tex Mex favorites like enchiladas and tacos. Ordered the Cheese and onion enchilada platter and loved it, although the chili con carne tasted like canned chili. Hmmm…. Lots of food for a decent price. Topped dinner off with a mango margarita that was to die for! One drink had me buzzing and doing that one shoulder shimmy in my seat. The service wasn’t as attentive as expected, however; there was no host in sight, so I sat at the bar…. Wasn’t greeted for about 7 mins and I was the only person at the bar! I wonder if staffing is an issue here or something. The poor service made the experience a drag. Either way, there was chips and salsa, so no tears were cried.

I had eaten at the highland road location a few months ago and was back in the area and decided to eat here again... Worse mistake of the day! It took forever to be seated, in which our menus were tossed on a table, leaving us to assume this was our table! After waiting about 20 minutes for even a glass of water, I noticed the ladies that came in after us had drinks and were enjoying chips and salsa... I waited a while longer and left, in which no one even noticed! I now sit at Mis Padres, enjoying my meal!!! I won't be back, ever! I work too hard for my money to be disrespected in this manner by ANYONE! They all want to raise the prices and LOWER the quantity and quality! So glad I didn't waste money, as I did my time here!

To start with one of the margaritas had food particles stuck inside the glass. I asked the waitress for a clean glass. Then one of the meals had half of a clothing tag in it. The waitress apologized but didn't seem to care. They did not even comp that meal which was not eaten. The manager saw me taking a picture of the Las Palmas sign above the kitchen and me making a nasty face. The waitress talked to him and they looked our way but nothing was said or done. Be careful eating at Las Palmas Highland Rd. Food wasn't the best, 2 incidents, not the best service and management never said a word when notified

Nevere will go again. Wednesday 2:10 pm. I am seated quickly with 3 other seated. Not busy at all. It took 10 minutes before someone came to get my drink order another 10 minutes before taking my lunch order. I see four additional tables not yet cleared and cleaned from lunch.. Lunch served in 5 minutes after order very good.

My friend and I had lunch there yesterday. The service was horrible. After a 15 min wait at our table, the waiter came by. He barely spoke to us, never refilled drinks, or brought napkins and the silverware we asked for. As a matter of fact, he only came to the table to get our orders and give us the bill. However, it was apparent he was taking great care of the large table right next to us. Food was ok but the service ruined the experience.
