Las Palmas - Review - Uptown - Dallas - The Infatuation

"When a cast-iron platter of fiery queso flameado is flambeed and cocooned into corn or flour tortillas tableside, you know you’re not at just any Tex-Mex spot. You’re at Las Palmas—the Tex-Mex spot. This Uptown restaurant, with a sun-soaked patio and movie theater-dark dining room, has an opulent touch: lobster tostadas, Akaushi wagyu fajitas with housemade tortillas, and the aforementioned plate of cheese they light on fire for you. There’s no shortage of solid Tex-Mex restaurants in Dallas, but Las Palmas’s fancier-than-usual menu rarely disappoints. Waits for a table can reach upwards of an hour, but that’s what spicy, Tajin-rimmed margaritas are for." - Rosin Saez
