My husband ordered the Nashville hot chicken taco and the carne asada taco. We shared all the tacos and also ordered nachos and cheese with chorizo. It was all amazing! The one taco I will definitely order again is the Nashville hot chicken. It was delicious! The coleslaw on top of the hot chicken was amazing! Definitely will be back!“

“Las Palmas is a Mexican restaurant in Nashville, Tennessee. There are several locations of Las Palmas in Nashville. I went to the one on Hayes Street. Las Palmas is an authentic Mexican restaurant and should be a must go to anyone who eats Mexican food.Mexican restaurants are like pizza places. Everyone says that the one place is better than the others. The thing that I don't like about most Mexican restaurants around where I live is that the flavors/spices are muted for American taste buds. It is not the case at Las Palmas. Everything was flavorful and tasting like Mexican food should.The clientele of Las Palmas was extremely diverse, reflecting on the excellence of food/service at Las Palmas. There were Police, nurses, blue collars, lawyers, and others. It was just a cross-section of America enjoying awesome Mexican food.The food at Las Palmas was spectacular. Everything was so good. The service at Las Palmas was just as superb as the food. Everyone was pleasant and friendly. Everyone that I encountered at Las Palmas was of Hispanic origins. There was not a language barrier if you do not speak Spanish as everyone seemed to speak English as well.Las Palmas in Nashville, Tennessee is an authentic Mexican restaurant. If you are seeking a Mexican restaurant with more authentic flavors, Las Palmas is a must go restaurant. I enjoyed Las Palmas thoroughly and will be returning soon.“

“Great Pollo asada. The chicken had great flavor, it was moist, and a little crispy just on the edges while being very hot. Able to combine with the rice, refried beans, and lettuce into a tortilla to make a few tacos. Delicious when paired with the green sauce for a little heat. The chicken did have bones. Can't take a photo--the foods all gone!“

“Used to pass this place all the time while working, finally one day I stopped for lunch to see what it was about. There was a line to the door but still got in and out within 5 minutes. I got the chicken and rice and the food was absolutely excellent most authentic food I have found since I moved to Tennessee. Beans are absolutely the best you can get anywhere. $20 and you can feed 3 people easily.“

“Good food. The meat was VERY well seasoned. I am from San Diego, home of the best messican food, the meat was comparable. Big portion sizes. The server Drew was nice and attentive. Even gave my baby some celery sticks (that’s all she eats). The margarita was great, we ordered the pitcher - definitely more than 4 cups - and was strong. Very impressed. They didn’t use a mix and the margarita was good. My only complaint is the place didn’t really have a Mexican theme, they displayed flags and had lots of color but not Mexican themed. My opinion, having been/grown up around/ being part Mexican.Vegetarian options: Husband had a “vegetarian” “vegan” burrito. Very tasty and big.“

“It's the only cool chicken in Nashville. It resembles the original flavor of Honduras and reminds me a lot of Honduras because the waitresses serve you a little poorly, literally, you have to serve yourself alone, but it is not an obligation to leave a tip like in Honduras.“

Service is good, the girl was really patient and explained the menu carefully and the food has good flavor. Totally recommend it. Only reason why it missed a star is the floor, it needs tile, but I don't know how long they been in business.“
