The downside to these reviews is that business owners can submit various reviews under assumed names praising their businesses. It's never been more obvious that every review here is nonsense except for one. When you go into the restaurant you hear the exact same rhetoric you read here. "Ybor City" style or type of restaurant to which I say hogwash! The food is mediocre at best with little to none Spanish seasoning and I'm convinced that the black beans are out of a can. What a disappointment and shame on you for mentioning ... read more
Horrible! – I don't see how this place can be compared to anything in Ybor City. I couldn't even get a cordidito. the server was pleasant enough but being Hispanic I became suspicious that this Cuban food was not being prepared by anyone that even had an accent. I had to laugh when I asked how many Cuban cooks they had and they said none. the food was bland and it just did not seem at all authentic. makes me wonder what these people who gave this place five stars would do if they ever ate authentic Cuban. my advice is stay a... read more
Old Tampa cuisine in New Tampa! – My husband and parents and I had dinner at Las Palmas on May 13th and what a pleasant surprise. We all had the cuban pork with black beans and rice and plantains with Flan for dessert. We also had a pitcher of Sangria. It was all delicious! Being born and raised in Tampa we know cuban cuisine and this place is the epitome of Spanish flavor. We plan on many more visits to this New Tampa gem.
Affordable Dining – I read about this place in the USA Today, stating that it was "Affordable America." Well Mr. Shriver was correct it's not only affordable it's the best food I've ever eaten. It's the original Tampa Ybor style food that you can't find in Ybor any more. I wish there were more locations around the bay. Try it, it's worth the drive to New Tampa!
This place is GREAT! – My husband and I just discovered this amazing little restaurant. We love it!! We both grew up in the Tampa area and consider this type of food to be comfort food. It's definitely a particular style of food that is hard to come by outside of Tampa. Although really common in South Tampa and West Tampa, it's pretty hard to find elsewhere. I'm so glad we found Las Palmas! Because we live in New Tampa it was usually a treat when we happened to be in those areas that we could enjoy that type of food. That is... read more
Las Palmas Cafe.... Hidden Treasure of New Tampa!!! – I've lived in New Tampa for many years but for some reason I"ve overlooked this amazing little Cuban restaurant for years. This Gem is hidden in what is probably the oldest plaza in New Tampa, The Pebble Creek Collection. Las Palmas Cafe has apparently been a staple in this small community for many years. I can't believe that I've been driving by it for so long at didn't realize that they had some of the best food in New Tampa. Las Palmas offers the best of the traditiona... read more
Best kept secret in New Tampa! – I've lived in Tampa for most of my life so I know what Tampa food is supposed to taste like. This place has THE BEST! I don't know why they aren't packed every time I'm there. The service is warm and friendly and the atmosphere is great! They have a few selections for kids so it's great for the whole family. My favorite is the Lechon Asado! You can really tell that the Mojo is homemade and not from a bottle like you get at most other cuban restaurants. It's hard to believe that the food is so... read more
Best Ybor Style Food in Tampa – I could not wait to get home and write this review. They said the restaurant has been there for almost 10 years. I can't believe I haven't tried it until now. This is my new best restaurant in Tampa (all of Tampa). Home-like atmospher, friendly people and the best freshly cooked food I've had since I've moved to New Tampa. I don't miss my old spanish places now that I've found Las Palmas. So clean and well run, you don't have to worry whats going on in the kitchen you can see most of it from t... read more
For Tampa, this is subpar – It's not hard to find great Cuban/Spanish food in town (many places along Columbus Dr. are wonderful), but options are few & far between in Northern Hillsborough. I have given this restaurant two chances, and both have been disappointing. The Puerco Asado on the first visit lacked taste and should have been much more tender. Today I tried the Palomilla Steak Sandwich; it should have been unbreaded (bistec empanizado is the breaded version), again there was little taste to it, and the onions were c... read more
