Amazing food and service We had calentado de carne, pandebono, chorizo con arepa and it was very delicious, it tastes just like colombia!! read more

The food is delicious and authentic. The service is not as attentive, but the servers are very friendly and helpful with the menu. I've eaten here twice and both times the food was outstanding. read more

It's a hidden place in Gastonia over New Hope Road. We came in and were immediately greeted by multiple individuals and were very attentive and did not have to wait to order our food. We tried the empanadas, Pandebonos, Chorizo with arepa and a Calentado, and was all delicious. Will come back again! read more

They charged me to get a refill on my coffee and it was 2.50 the coffee was already 2.50.I have never been to a place where they charge me for a refill it's always free. read more

First of all, this place is easy to miss because it's an eyesore. They seriously need to spruce it up, both inside and outside. From the outside, it looks run down. On the inside, it looks dark and old, which in turn can make it look dirty even if it is clean. This place is not just a bakery, it is also a restaurant, and they have a decent variety in their menu. Their beef empanadas ($1 each) are amazing! They are warm, hearty, and perfectly crispy. You can dip them in a mildly spicy salsa. Don't order the Picada though. It was a dish of fried green plantains, beef, black sausage, pork rinds, Creole potatoes, cassava, and white corn tortilla for $10.99. Beautiful dish, but so incredibly DRY. It needs a sauce, ANY SAUCE. I think this dish has a lot of potential, if it wasn't so dry and chewy. I also sampled the Bistec Encebollado (steak topped with tomatoes, onions, red beans, fried plantains, salad, white rice, and optional 2 eggs on top, $10.99). This was a great dish, except that the eggs were overcooked. We did not receive much attention, particularly when we needed assistance (such as to order our food or to request utensils). Parking is very limited. Very unlikely to return. read more

Poor service. That's all you need to know Idk if it was bc i came to early or what but it has happened before. read more

This is probably my second time at las palmas, I had a lulo shake and the breakfast las palmas which consist of rice with eggs mixed, steak and arepa. Is a great place, family friendly and the staff is nice. I would come back again and try again other things on the menu. read more

Bakery Restaurant Las Palmas - Desayuno las palmas - Bakeries Near Me - Gastonia, North Carolina

My husband and I went to try this place out yesterday. Being honest I was not impressed at all. I read the reviews before we go and was expecting way more than what we got. The empanada was okay, for entree we both decided on carne assada that came with salad, rice, beans and plantain, I asked that waiter to switch the plantain for fried cassava and she said that she couldn't. ???? The food was just regular. We also order pork crackling that was way over cooked and over seasoned. The place it is simple which is no big deal but wasn't clean the way it was supposed to be and a huge spider jumped on my lap while I was eating. The waitress was very attentive only down side was she looked not to be familiar with the menu. In my opinion the food is WAY overpriced for what we get. This being said we will not be back. That being sad we won't be back. read more

Food it's ok, first time at a Colombian restaurant, looks like one of those restaurants that if you are know or come often you will get better attention. Will give them a second chance. read more

I have no idea what type of bakery this place is portraying to be. But with 100% certainty they are NOT Colombians! And therefore you will not find any good empanadas, pan de bono, arepas, or even good cafe con leche. The empanadas were disgusting and very tiny! I couldn't determine what was inside them. The cafe con leche was horrible!!! It was like hotel American coffee! How on earth can people give this place more than one star is beyond me! Then again they have nothing to compare it to so to them this is probably an amazing bakery. NOTHING in this bakery is Colombian so don't be fooled. They microwave EVERYTHING! And please do not order any coffee, it sucks. read more

I had a stake and rice today, I felt there is a metal in my mouth while I am eating the stake and I went right away to the bathroom and my tongue was bleeding, I told the restaurant worker about it and she said "Really?!!! Show me where is it" There is a big problem there guys!!! Go somewhere else! read more

This is my ideal breakfast spot, which is ideal because it's right across the street from my home. I recommend you either be familiar with Columbian food or adventurous, because the menu is comprised of dishes and ingredients slightly foreign to someone raised on a typical American diet of chili dogs and chicken nuggets. For a simple breakfast, you can't beat the freshly made empanadas and a cup strong Columbian coffee. Since it's a bakery and a restaurant, there is a large selection of fresh baked breads, cookies and pastries. I recommend a piece of Tres Leches cake. read more

Food was good, never would have known this place if it was not for Michael on help. We ate around 2pm today and I am not hungry at all. Bathroom was clean that is a plus in my book. We got a dozen empanadas to go. Only down side for us was no tea or non sugar drinks, but I did have mango juice and it was delicious. Blink and you will miss this place just follow the directions on yelp. I LOVE YELP. read more

Bakery Restaurant Las Palmas - Breaded pork plate WOW - Bakeries Near Me - Gastonia, North Carolina

Wow! Now this is why I love Yelp. A picture of a cup of coffee on Yelp led me to look this place up. Colombian food? In Gastonia? I was there two hours later. Okay, so they have an actual selection of Colombian sodas!! Not to mention a bakery section with home baked breads and pastries. To start, I tried the empanadas. The shredded beef and potato filling was good but the wrappers seemed a little ready made/prefabricated. My main course, the Plato Tipico, was awesome. It's basically a platter of every protein you can think of. Rice with a poached egg, chorizo sausage, pork cracklings, a steak, red beans, fried plantains, an avocado, and a dense tortilla/corn cake. My waitress said it would be filling and she was right!!! I can hibernate now. When I asked her how long they've been open, she said eight years!!!! Holy schnikees!! How has no one reviewed this place yet? Well there you have it!! If you're passing through Gastonia and want to try something new, this is your place!! read more

This place is very unsuspecting, but a great find! I stopped in for breakfast and was greeted by the pastry case filled with unique confections. You must try the beef and potato empanadas, cheese bread (soooo good), and any of the guava filled pastries. If Las Palmas was in Uptown Charlotte they would never been empty... I don't think Gastonia can really appreciate a place like this, so if you're in the area you should definitely swing by. Not to mention breakfast was really cheap. I got 3 empanadas and 2 pastries for under $5! Staff was super nice too. read more

I ordered some churros and the lady was nice. But when I asked for a menu she gave it to me and we sat down then she never asked us what we wanted to eat. She got to everyone else but us. So after 28 minutes of sitting we left. read more

Went to eat dinner here on a Sunday night. Food was good.looked sketchy when we pulled up but the food and service was great. Only problem my kids had they ran out of fries. I ordered fish with plantain and rice with salad. The food was delicious. If i can change anything probably modern the place up make it look better. read more

Took my daughter here today. She loves Latin pastries. We ordered the guava/cheese, one plain one. Delicious! We then ordered the grilled chicken lunch and an empanada. All came out hot and fresh. On our way out one of the workers handed us a just out of the oven strawberry pastry to go, on the house. That was so nice! Yes, the place is not the prettiest and in a bit obscure location but the food was good and people friendly. read more

The service was great! The empanadas were amazing! The chicken was a little to thin. The beans were by far the best beans I've ever had! Definitely should be on your list of places to try! There was little to no wait time for the food to be brought out hot and fresh! read more

I walked up to the bakery and tried the empanadas. It was my first time. It was hot and fresh and was filled with potatoes and beef. I got several to go and it came with a spicy sauce. It was DELICIOUS!!!! I will definitely com back and try their breakfast and Colombian coffee. read more

The waitress Gabby, was slow and took forever to bring our drinks. We ordered our dishes. After 10 minutes we were told one of their newer dishes weren't available and they could not substitute the beef dish I ordered with chicken. I don't eat beef and they couldn't make a simple accommodation. The waitress apologized but seemed to think it was funny. May we just weren't "ethnic" enough for service. I will never go back and I urge everyone else to not visit as well. read more

A bit off the beaten path, but a worthy find. They have great empanadas.

Delicious pastries & empanadas! The sweet empanadas with guava & cream cheese are my favorite. Super nice staff.

This is a fabulous, locally owned restaurant. I love it for the wonderful food, pastries, and Colombian drinks. I try and bring the kids here as much as possible to broaden their taste buds. I cannot recommend this place enough. read more

This restaurant received great reviews and that's why we tried it. 'My husband and I always find good food at the "whole in the wall" places. My husbands meal was decent however mine was extremely salty- It was the tilapia. It looked delicious but not edible.I was disappointed and upset I had to pay for something I couldn't eat. read more

I've been eating at this Colombian eatery for years. It has never disappointed. I highly recommend it to anyone willing to try.
