- Delicious Cuban Food!
Read More On Citysearch Mamarific 4/5/2010 - Really Enjoyed This PlaceGood service, cozy...just the place to be on a rain Saturday afternoon. We ordered cubans and really enjoyed them. Beans yummy, rice, yummy. No complaints. Try it you'll enjoy it.

I am not Cuban so I can't say if it's authentic but my father in law seems to think it is. We always have great service & the food is so good who cares if there's plastic chairs ! Yes , eating out is about the atmosphere but sometimes people think too much into it ! Sit , relax & enjoy the food.

Being cuban myself, I found a few problems with this restaurant cuisine, for example anyone that have tasted tostones knows that the plantain must be as green as it can gets. well they did serve semi-ripe tostones (sorry that is a big no no in a cuban kitchen) the owner is a very nice guy but either he figures bc of the lack of cubans in atlanta he can get away cooking crappy cuban food. My wife...

This restaurant is on a cute little Midtown street and feels like it should be a great find (and if you read reviews of it, it sounds like it is). It was perfectly OK, but not out of this world. Decor feels a little tatty.

Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 7/15/2008 - Good Food. Doesn't feel CubanI just ate here this past weekend with some friends and really liked it. The staff is great. The entrees were excellent, although the black beans were really bland. Maybe it's a cuban thing. And although I liked the rustic nature of the place, I didn't sense anything Cuban about the outdoor patio. Maybe some cuban-styled tables and chairs would have been nice (comfortable, of course). The p...
Read More On Citysearch GuapoJoe 6/23/2008 - Wonderful Cuban FoodThis my favorite place in Atlanta to satisfy a craving for Cuban. The staff is exceptionally gracious and friendly, and the food quality is great. Dining on the small patio is great when the weather is nice. Be sure to try a side of the yucca frita; it is exceptional. If you go, note that they're closed Sun-Tues.
Read More On Citysearch rbmorris 3/1/2008 - Dine on the patio if possibleWe were holed away in a second room and it was kinda stuffy. Also, each waiter thought the other was waiting on us (and thus we didn't get served very quickly). Alas, they were very apologetic and gave us free dessert. Anyhoo, I love the feel/location of the place (and nice I can walk to it from my condo). I thought the food was very good. And it was the perfect venue for a mutual breakup betwee...
Read More On Citysearch green2u 7/9/2007 - nice porch tucked away in neighborhood, food a disappointmentWent back to this small, intimate little restaurant in Midtown after a few years and if you are Cuban or know Cuban food well, go elsewhere. Things started to look bad when the black beans arrived and they were were tasteless---Black beans are easy to get right and if the aren't you know there are problems in the kitchen. The yucca a classic Cuban staple, was all carbo and no flavor. The meat di...

Read More On Citysearch mkivals 11/21/2006 - Ok...I guess?I don't pretend to be the most astute Cuban food aficionado, but I have some good Cuban eats during my lifetime. Having said that, Las Palmeras is ok....I guess. It's tucked away in the uber exclusive/trendy Piedmont Park neighborhood (btwn 10th and Ponce De Leon) which gives it some point. Unfortunately...the points pretty much end there. I was with a large group of people so to say I was able t...
Read More On Citysearch mimicatl 9/19/2006 - DisappointmentI have to admit that after reading the other reviews my husband and I were pretty excited to eat here. My husband grew up in Miami and is Cuban, I grew up in Tampa and have had my fair share of cuban food. Las Palmeras is NOT good cuban food. The bread that came out before the meal was OK, it wasn't cuban bread but that is hard to find anywhere outside of Florida. We both ordered the Ropa Vie...
Read More On Citysearch avery99 7/23/2006 - great cuban food, friendly staff, outdoor seatingLas Palmeras offers good food in a friendly atmosphere. Go there on a nice night and sit out on the patio. The waitstaff is friendly and not pretentious like so many other downtown restaurants. I am not a cuban expert, so I can't say if this is authentic or not, but the food is excellent nonetheless. The prices seem resonable to me...also their wine and beer selection is not overpriced either...
Read More On Citysearch owlatrice 7/6/2006 - Great little place with two caveats.Quaint cuban restaurant. Not fine dining by any stretch, but the food never dissapoints. Portions are reasonable, unlike places that cover-up sub-standard food by giving you more than you can eat.
This place has gotten popular, so the prices have increased across the board. I would no longer consider it cheap eats, but still very reasonable. Also, the restaurant is small, so it can get ove...
Read More On Citysearch dubyadee 5/30/2006 - Take it from a Cuban, it IS authenticBeing a visitor to ATL, I was totally surprised to see such an authentic Cuban restaurant away from Miami. The food was great, and even time consuming dishes such as Boliche and Ropa Vieja were exquisitely done. A super find!
Read More On Citysearch lbotta 9/18/2005 - Hidden gem in MidtownWhat a find! Already loved by many, but still a wonderful discovery. If there's better Cuban in Atlanta, I haven't found it yet. Completely casual. Servers are super friendly. On nice days, the patio is hopping. Go, go, go.
Read More On Citysearch atledit 3/11/2005 - they haven't lost their 'mojo'Hands down the most authentic & tastiest Cuban food in Atlanta.
Read More On Citysearch acsolomon 5/19/2003 - Finally made it...Pleased w/ everything-- food , service, casual atmosphere & prices. Though cuban food has a tendency to be heavy, my meal was extremely light. Best (and least oily) yucca I've ever had. I will be back
Read More On Citysearch h_dub 10/17/2002 - Great little restaurantThis cuban restaurant tucked away in a Midtown neighborhood is awesome. It has home cooked meals at reasonable prices. It is a casual atmosphere w/ a nice outdoor patio too. You must check it out.
Read More On Citysearch lallyjones 8/24/2002 - What more would you want in a Cantina?So JW is gone and Artel has left also... Big Deal... and the BYOB so what... spring for the cost of a beer or better yet have a Jupina along with the very very best Mastiats de Puerco, and Pollo Asaso this side of Little Havana.. This place is a great deal and GOOD EATS... dont let the folks who think Cuban food come from Toco Cabana dissuade you from Las Pameras
Read More On Citysearch alp 8/23/2002 - Excellent CubanThis is the best Cuban food in Atlanta, by far (with the possible exception of the Kool Korners' sandwich). I have visited the other Cuban restaurants in town, most of which are relatively disappointing. Las Palmeras serves simple, flavorful food. The masitas de puerco is my favorite dish...slow roasted pork that is quick-fried and served with a lemon garlic sauce and onions. The pork is tend...
Read More On Citysearch bbell73271 8/9/2002 - A GREAT LITTLE CUBAN SECRET!Las Palmeras is such a great little cuban restaurant. The cuban sandwiches are great, but the veggie plate is killer too. Great atmosphere and staff and the prices aren't bad either. This place is tucked away in a residential neighborhood and is one of the best kept secrets in great Atlanta food. They keep odd hours, so call to be sure they're open.
Read More On Citysearch esiegel76 8/4/2002 - Little oasisSlyly snuggled in one of Midtown's prettier neighborhoods, Las Palmeras is one of those places you almost don't want to tell anyone else about. The intimate indoor and outdoor seating lend a romantic feel, yet the place remains casual. My experiences with the restaurant's well-prepared Cuban cuisine have always been top-notch, and the waiters deliver comfortable service. I think that Las Palmeras...
