“It is not TexMex; it is not OkieMex. It is a version of traditional authentic Mexican food.

I had dined here several years ago. At that time, I must have not been particularly impressed; I didn’t document the encounter with a review. My assessment now, decent Mexican food. As about as good as any place in Grove.

Mild tomato-based salsa. The salsa picante has some heat. I distinctly remember the chips from the first visit. And my only real complaint. They are crisp, but a little dark like they have been under the heat lamp too long or toasted too long. My wife had a spectacular chili relleno that she raved about while eating it and continued raving on the drive home. It was covered with a very tasty and flavorful tomato based red sauce. For me Chili Rojo. Described on the menu as tender cubes of pork in a spicy red chili gravy. It didn’t mention anything about potatoes. The plate that came to the table had chunks of potatoes. The pork was exactly as described and plenty of it. Excellent lean tender pork. I pushed the potatoes aside. The gravy was tasty, a little spicy, but far from the red chili sauce I had hoped for. The meal was good. Great beans. Check the pictures.

Las Palmeras has a slightly different version of traditional authentic Mexican food.

The restaurant is a typical little Mexican joint. The building shows some wear. Bright colorful Mexican village scenes cover everything. Patio dining is available for those mild winter days. The restaurant is clean throughout. The service was fast attentive and friendly. Try it and compare yourself!

If you are looking for other Mexican restaurants in the area, check out my reviews in my collection "Jalapeno Highway" by Spike S. on Yelp. I've probably been there.”
