Arguably the hottest Tex-Mex in town (and we don’t just mean the margaritas).
If Uptown had a main character patio, this would be it. Las Palmas is where dinner turns into drinks, drinks turn into a second round, and suddenly you’re fully locked in for the night. It’s loud in the best way, always full, and exactly where you go when you want to feel like something’s happening. Order like you know what you’re doing: go for something bold, something shareable, and definitely something you’ll be thinking about the next day.
And yes…get the margarita.
