The Scene
Seasoned locals know exactly where it is, but first-timers inevitably drive by several times before spotting the restaurant, camouflaged in a residential neighborhood. Las Palmeras doesn't ooze romance, but the intimate setting and delighful little patio work well for a casual first date or a small gathering of friends. Service is friendly and non-invasive.
The Food
Like the restaurant itself, the focused menu is no frills--just simple, exceptional Cuban cuisine. The Cuban sandwich--one of the city's best--is a smart choice for lunch or a light meal. For dinner, try the masitas de puerco, tender pork chunks in a lemon sauce. Pisto manchego--scrambled eggs with potatoes, shrimp, ham and Spanish sausage--yields plenty of flavor, but is not terribly spicy. Palomilla steak and rotisserie chicken are also strong dishes. Try the guava shells with cream cheese for dessert--it's an intriguing combination of sweet and salty flavors.
