Another fine Cuban restaurant on the Bergenline strip. Would have given it five stars if not for the food being a little bit on the cold side. We had the Ropa Vieja and the Pernil, both were fresh and properly seasoned and cooked. The accompanying moro rice and black beans were excellent. My only complaint is that all of our dishes could have been hotter, my guess is that their freshly made item are placed in steam tables that are near the door and on cold days like this day was, any food on top will get cold quickly. Nonetheless we enjoyed the food and friendly service and look forward to returning if they can keep the food warm.

Las Palmas is a great choice for a date or a night out if you’re in the mood for classic Cuban food done well. The steaks are the standout—especially the churrasco—which comes out hot, flavorful, and cooked exactly as ordered, and the tostones are crisp and addictive. Service is fast and genuinely friendly, even when the place is busy, and the energy gives it a lively but comfortable feel. Portions are generous, prices are fair for the quality, and the overall experience feels polished without being stuffy. Definitely a solid spot to come back to and easy to recommend.

We dined in only 2 of us, when we first get into the restaurant the server told us that we could pay cash only because the credit card machine are not working and pointed to the ATM machine that they have inside the restaurant.We agreed to pay cash, Food is good, the server is actually friendly.The bill is 114$ but we got charged gratuity 18% to 134$ which we are not happy about that.I told the server that they not supposed to add gratuity and we always give a good tips. This is the first time that we got added gratuity into our bill that we both very upset.We traveled from west NJ 1.30 hr away.

Great food and service! The sangria was excellent, and the churrasco was absolutely amazing—cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Definitely worth coming back.

Everything from the hospitality to the food was wonderful. Succulent meats, vibrant sauces, and delicious drinks. We were so satisfied when we left. Their staff is top notch. Great service model: Everyone assists with whatever table that needs it. Great rhythm. Never felt unseen.

I would give it 0 stars if I could. I don’t understand how positive some of these reviews are, they must be fake. We ordered short ribs, they were hard to chew and had no flavor, even when I added table salt to it. The mashed potatoes taste like instant powder, horrible! The Cuban sandwich was dry. The avocado salad is ridiculously overpriced for what it is. They don’t even offer tap water, they charge you bottled water if you order water. The only good thing was the chicharrón. Other than that, don’t waste your money on this place.

Place is always Happy!!
Definitely the 42$ churrasco (skirt steak) is worthed! Every time I order is always come out at the temperature I ask (medium rare), but this time I got the veal churrasco, and I did enjoy that too!

If you’re craving an Cuban meal without breaking the bank, Las Palmas might just be the place to go. Situated in a bustling area, the restaurant offers a solid Cuban dining experience, with great food.
The prices here are reasonable for the portion sizes, and you definitely get your money’s worth.
While the food shines, the service is a bit of a mixed bag. The staff is friendly, but it can be hard to get their attention.
Finding parking is another challenge. The restaurant is located in a busy area with limited street parking, and the small lot it does have is often full. Be prepared to circle the block or park further away and walk.
If you’re willing to deal with some service delays and parking difficulties, Las Plamas offers a great Cuban meal at a reasonable price. The food is authentic and flavorful, and you’ll leave satisfied. Just be prepared to possibly be a little patient when it comes to service and parking.

I’ve dined at this restaurant twice now and unfortunately had the same server both times, a man in his mid-40s to early 50s with a slight black scruffy beard.
Both visits he got the temperature/doneness of our meat dishes completely wrong, even though we were clear with our requests. On top of that, he always seems overloaded with other tables and forgets about us, so our group constantly has to wave or signal to get his attention.
Last time, he took our orders, dropped the food off (with help from another staff member), and then we never saw him again, not once. No check-in to ask if everything was okay, if the food was good, or if we wanted drink refills. We felt completely ignored the entire meal.
The place has a nice vibe and the food has potential when it’s cooked right, but this level of inattentive service really ruins the experience. Management should look into this. Won’t be rushing back until the service improves

This restaurant is a staple for Cuban cooking in Hudson County. If you want the best churrasco (skirt steak) this is the place to go to. They have great specials as well. If you’re keto / low carb, they have a lot of meat choices too. There’s a lot of delicious pre-cooked selections to choose from for the best “fast food” available.
