My cousin and I decided to meet at Las Palmas 2 for lunch on Sunday. I was greeted as soon as I walked in and was able to quickly get us a table. Chips and salsa were provided as soon as I sat down, which was very nice, and the area was very clean. Once my cousin and her sons arrived, our server grabbed us all drinks and gave us time to look over the menu. We were pleasantly surprised to see Burgers and Corn Dogs on the kid's menu so that's what she ordered for the boys. Since we both had taste for tacos, she ordered the Carne Asada Tacos and I decided on the Chicken, Chorizo and Carne Asada Tacos. Our food was served in less than 15 mins and the tacos were amazing! The meat was seasoned very well and the rice and beans were just as good. My cousin enjoyed her tacos and her boys devoured their food lol! Our server was very nice and continued to stop by to check on us, which we appreciated. Overall, this was probably the best Las Palmas I've ever had and I will definitely be returning soon!!! read more

Me and my husband took our son to Las Palmas after graduation. I ordered the Chicken Chimichanga, my husband Pollo Asada, our son the chicken nachos. My chimichanga was small with too much cheese, my husbands pollo asada was dry and thin, our son's chicken nachos was not flavorful. The waitress took my food back and I order Chicken fajitas which was better but refused to take my husbands back. The manager said " we are losing out on too much money if we take your plate back." the waitress did not offer boxes for my food nor did she asked to refill our glass with water. The worst experience! read more

Horrible experience. No greeting, first words were "one check or seperate?". Our server rushed us to order and eat, she kept asking us to pass her our plates even though we were still eating. when we finished eating, she still asked us to pass her our plates when she could've just waited for us to leave or grab it from behind us. She was also on her phone as she was serving our table. She spilled margaritas on my sister-in-law. Food was decent but the server BRENDA was obviously being lazy and rushing us. Her favorite phrase was "can you pass me that plate?". I am not hiding her name because management needs to address Brenda with these issues. Very unprofessional, rude, and unacceptable server. The gentlemen at the front were polite at least. Thanks for reading! read more

Las Palmas 2 - Proof that we ate here and that this review is legit. - Mexican Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

I came in with a couple of friends after watching a movie at the AMC next door. We were immediately greeted and seated. It wasn't too busy even though it was a Saturday night. Our waiter was Hector and he was friendly and efficient. The food came out very quickly. I ordered the nachos and it was delicious! It came out hot and fresh and I really enjoyed it. It was a very affordable meal as well. It was the perfect place for a post-movie meal. I'm looking forward to returning. read more

What a shame it turned into another Plaza Azteca place that just doesn't care about service or the quality of their food anymore. read more

So wanted to give them a higher rating but I can't. The restaurant is adorable. Right now it's decorated for the day of the dead. It's very inviting and it's clean and comfortable. The bar stools are a work of art. The staff were all friendly. We were greeted and sat immediately. Now the reason for the two stars. The chips and salsa were great. The chips were warm and delicious. My husband usually eats the red sauce and I eat the white sauce. Both were good and the white one had a little kick. My husband ordered the lunch special number 12. The waitress didn't ask what type of enchiladas he wanted so we asked her what were our choices. She said they only came with ground beef and my husband said ok. I asked for the lunch special that comes with two hard tacos and rice. When our meals came out, my husband had chicken enchiladas which he didn't want. So we sent his back. I had asked for black beans and cheese tacos (vegetarian) with a side of rice. I got beef in my enchilada which I didn't even order and a side of black beans. I sent it back and reiterated that my order consisted of two hard black bean tacos and a side of rice. When it came back out, it was what is pictured. At that point I didn't want to send it back a second time so I kept it. Not sure if it was the experience but it's the first time that I don't enjoy my meal at a Mexican restaurant. The black beans had absolutely no taste whatsoever and I don't like enchiladas. I ate my open face black bean taco and left the rest. With so many great Mexican restaurants in Hampton Roads I doubt I will ever go back to this one. read more

Located across the AMC movie theater. Promising at first as we were seated right away, drinks and chips too. The menu was sticky and gross and the waiter was just rushing to take orders . The food was ok, but i am disappointed by the quality, it was salty and the tamales were soggy. We felt crammed and the walking space to move around is tight. You pretty much pay for location. read more

Vibrant atmosphere and delectable Mexican cuisine. Colorful decor and festive ambiance. The menu has a wide array of dishes that cater to every taste and preference. From classic favorites like tacos and enchiladas to specialties like carne asada and mole poblano, each dish is expertly prepared with the freshest ingredients and authentic flavors. During this visit, we ordered tacos de pollo asado and a taco salad. Very generous portion sizes! Las Palmas also excels in customer service. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always ready to accommodate any special requests or dietary restrictions. read more

I've eaten here a few times over the past 3 years and I've enjoyed myself each time. I figured it's time for a review to I can extol its awesomeness. Las Palmas 2 used to be a Ruby Tuesday - I guess RT was downsizing because a few of their locations have closed up. Regardless, LP2 is there now and right across from the AMC Theater. So whenever I'm there to watch a movie I know I can grab a quick bite at LP2. That's what's great about LP2 - they are fast, convenient and their food is delicious. I usually stick with their specials, like the Brian Special, Chef's Ranchero Special, Sizzling Steak & Shrimp and the Ixtapa Fajitas. All of them are excellent and will fill you up. If you're in a hurry but still want some good food, then check out Las Palmas 2. They are fantastic from top to bottom. JV read more

Friendly staff. Clean establishment. ZERO flavor in every dish ??? The tacos taste just like the burritos and the same for the enchiladas. The salsa was flavorless too??? The server agreed that the food & salsa lacked flavor - joking that the restaurant served 'gringo' style Mexican food. No way I will ever dine here again. read more

Tried this place for the first time today was really good the serving size for lunch are impeccable There are quite a few things on the menu that you do not find at your average Mexican restaurant As well as a lot of low car options we tried the nonalcoholic smoothies in Mango and banana They were very good they do not seem cream-based they're more of like an ice slush smoothie very good in my opinion and I love that they gave you a little umbrella with the fresh fruit the staff are very welcoming a nice here a few came in nice and hot and very quick definitely recommend this location read more

One of the best, most efficiently run, delicious Mexican restaurants in town. This place is always jumping with people, very busy almost every day of the week due to its great spot in lynnhaven. But it's no problem as there is always somebody to seat you within seconds of you walking through the door. Right when you're seated you're immediately allowed to order your drink of choice as well as chips and salsa brought to your table. The waiters/waitresses are very attentive so you won't have to wait long at all to place your actual order. The food is delicious, with their chicken being some of the best in the area hands down. But it's not just the chicken, almost everything you order on their extensive and easy to understand menu is amazing and well worth the reasonable price. The ambiance is incredibly authentic as Mexican restaurants go. It's nothing "fancy" but that's not really what you're even looking for going into somewhere like this. It's clean, the layout is great, and it's perfect for a dinner date or just grabbing a drink at the bar to watch a game. Not to mention it's in the perfect spot to grab a meal after shopping or watching a movie. I can't recommend this place enough. It's comically good. read more

Decent food at this mallside restaurant. Stopped here after seeing a movie. Had your typical Mexican dishes but I ordered shrimp, scallops, chicken, mushroms, onions peppers in a pineapple. Fajitas dish but i skipped the fajita. Margaritas were strong. Service was lacking after we got our food. Chips were thick and salsa so so. read more

Get the table side guacamole! And if you want to try a little bit of everything, and I am talking about protein get the Molcajete. It is sooooooo good! The service is AMAZING, and the staff is so attentive. I mean, even if they are not your waiter they will ask if you need anything. That goes A LONG WAY! If you go in the evening, you will have to wait for a table, but it is worth it. BEST Mexican food in Virginia Beach, and I am from So Cal, so I know what good Mexican is supposed to taste like. Plus, I am Mexican, so there's that too. read more

Las Palmas 2 - Molcajete - Mexican Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Man I'm really sad this place is giving my one of my favorite Mexican restaurants a bad rep cuz our visit here at this particular location was horrible. We had a large group with us and everything appeared to be all over the place with the service. Drinks were good and I enjoyed my mango margarita. We also snacked on the tri-colored tortilla chips which I haven't seen before but happily helped myself to. I ordered my usual Steak Vallarta and the steak was way overcooked and tough. I shared a few bites of my meal with some friends at my table and they also said the same. Someone in our group ordered the chicken fajitas and it appeared to be burned. Luckily she was able to get another one cooked for her. We had a couple servers tend to our table but it seemed like there was no communication because there were a lot of confused looks. To put things in perspective, we arrived at 6:30 for dinner. We didn't leave till 9. We frequently have huge birthday dinners and we've seen things run very smoothly and then there are times things are not so smooth. One thing I love about Mexican food is that it's known to be speedy. Not here. For now, I'll stick to the one at Princess Anne. read more

Had lunch here a few days ago. The food was ok. Not the best Mexican I have had by far. I don't have to go back here. The mall food court will do. The service was great. Waitress was attentive and checked on me often. read more

First time at a Las Palmas restaurant. The 2 represents their second location with the original off Princess Anne in Virginia Beach. The second Las Palmas is located in the rear of Lynnhaven Mall by the AMC theater. Customers access from the outside. I'm sure there was something else there, by I never had tried it. Parking on either side of the AMC makes sense, but when busy it's also the most congested. The walk up was mostly clear of debris. A hostess greeted me for an early weekday lunch. Only a few customers were dining. I elected to sit at the bar which is attractive with lots of cool lighting. The bones of the space reminded me of a Ruby Tuesday feel with booths. Everything was clean. A male bartender wasted no time getting my drink order and menu. I have no idea why on a lunch visit, but I said let's give that jumbo top shelf margarita with salted rim a whirl. They have a nice selection of top shelf tequila. I also asked for a tap water. Just behind me a couple was having table side guacamole prepared. Chips and two types of salsa (red/white) was immediately dropped off. The chips and salsa were fantastic and I preferred the white. Within 5 minutes a huge and beautiful looking drink was in front of me. The taste proved to be exciting and one of the better top shelf margaritas I've ever had. I decided to go large on a lunch special. I ordered the Mexico City Taco platter which consisted of three soft tacos (steak, chicken, carnitas), rice, beans and guacamole. The meal took around 15 minutes to hit and was served by a runner sizzling hot! Water at this point hit the danger zone on needing refilled. I was impressed with the refried beans and rice was pretty tasty. Of the three tacos the carnitas was probably my favorite, then chicken and steak last. None of the tacos blew me away, but all held up with no complaints. My server completed a check and water refill soon after. My check was brought out as my meal came to a close and was correct. Obviously with what I ordered it was on the higher side of a typical lunch. That was expected. The bill was processed quickly. I'm a bit mixed, but feel a 4 is warranted with friendly bar service and over the top drink. Although the platter was weak I bet I would love something else. I will return. read more

I went in for some dinner before catching a movie at AMC. I heard mixed reviews about this place but Id rather experience for myself. They gave me the typical Mexican restaurant feel. The staff was nice and we got a seat right away. They started off with drinks, chips, white sauce and salsa. Their white sauce had more of a lime and cilantro flavor. We ordered the Pollo a la Crema. It is chicken with a special cheese and sour cream served with beans, rice, and a guac salad. My friend ordered the vegan beans, rice, chalupa, and fajita. The food was good but in all honesty it wont be somewhere I would always wanna come back too. But dont take my word on it, try them out... we all have different preferences.... read more

A quick dinner after a movie night ended up being a sour finish to the evening. I have been to one of the restaurant locations and had a good time there figuring this would be a continued experience that fell flat. Upon entering we were left standing there for several minutes. A horde of employees were talking at the check out stand but no greeting, instructions so we waited. We were seated and the server a's polite as he was helped us take the order. I specifically mentioned twice no tomatoes on anything. I ordered my meal and we waited. The meal came out rather quickly. And....there were tomatoes on the dish. Unable to eat them I had to request to take them off after 5 minutes or so waiting again just to get someone's attention. The meal was not too bad overall and was quite filling. The bad part was I was sitting in between bites af the server just took my plate - I was not finished. I was just shook for a minute. I even told the server and he turned away and said nothing. By this point I was quite upset and left unappealed by the service here. Food is okay, but the service needs to match that of the other location. read more

We decided to stop here for dinner before a movie because this restaurant is located only steps away from the AMC at the Lynnhaven Mall. The restaurant itself stands separate from the mall, but it makes for a great date night- dinner, a little shopping, and a movie! We were seated immediately upon arriving, even though it looked like a fairly busy Friday night crowd. Various waiters stopped by our table throughout the evening. Didn't catch any names and no one seemed to be assigned to any particular table. They all seemed good at recognizing when we ready to order or needed something. We received chips, salsa, and white dip almost right away. The chips were "sturdy" in my husband's words. Rather thick and crunchy, not very salty. The dips were fairly standard. We split a 27 oz blended strawberry margarita. It had a good balance of flavor and wasn't too sweet. More than enough for the two of us to share. I ordered chicken fajitas. They came out sizzling fresh and with four small tortillas, a side of rice/beans, lettuce, pico, sour cream, a tiny smear of guacamole, and a small sprinkle of cheese. The portion was huge. After I had eaten three tortillas full of chicken, peppers, and onions, it still looked like a full plate (see pics). Again, this was fairly standard food. Not overly well seasoned in my opinion. My husband ordered chicken and cheese enchiladas. He received three in his order and ate them all, saying they were good. Overall, not a bad experience, but I think there are better places in the area for this kind of food. I would however recommend this location for your next movie night! read more

Las Palmas 2 is one of my main go-to spots when visiting Lynnhaven Mall and the movie theater. The food is delicious and service is always with a smile. They deliver your food hot and fast to your table with accuracy and awesome aroma! Wish I would have snapped a picture of my El Cazuelon dish which was tender roast beef, chorizo, and grilled chicken with rice beans and pico de gallo. Awesome goodness!! The big screen television had the crew caught up in the soccer game, so they were a bit slow towards the end of our meal to give the check and send us on our satiated way. Will most definitely return again and again. read more

This Las Palmas location is at Lynnhaven Mall. It's pretty much next to where Uno Pizza used to be at and across from the AMC Theater. Getting to the mall and finding the location is not that bad, but parking can be a nightmare finding a spot. Staff at the mall stores still park in the customer parking areas instead of where they are supposed to be parking. This was my first visit to this location and was on July 3, 2018. Once you've found parking, finding the place is pretty easy with their well lit signage. The outside of the building is typical of what you would see with a Mexican restaurant. We decided to try out this location since we had a coupon for it. We've been to their first location on Princess Anne Rd. several times. Once we came inside, we were immediately seated and someone was right behind us with the chips, red sauce and white sauce. A few seconds later, our server was at the table asking for our drink orders. At the same time, we ordered the cheese dip. While waiting for the cheese dip to come out, we actually talked to one of the other servers we knew from the other location. It was definitely an upbeat atmosphere on this visit. A few minutes later our server was back with the cheese dip and asked if we were ready to order. I ordered the Burrito California with chicken, but substituted rice for more beans instead. While having the chips and really good cheese dip, our entrees came out. They were piping hot and looked quite fresh. After tasting, you could tell it was fresh all the way around with lots of taste and flavor. The server came back to check to ensure everything was good, which it was (it was really amazing actually). In summary, the food was cooked well and was delicious. Overall, this was a great experience at this location, and is up to the same standards as their other location. The only drawback with this location is parking, but that's outside their circle of control. With great food, a great staff, and great experience, this is definitely the recipe to success at this restaurant. I will definitely be back to this location, as well as their other location, again in the future. This brand ranks at the top of my list for Mexican restaurants in Virginia Beach. If you're looking for this type of cuisine, look no further than the Las Palmas brand. You won't be disappointed. read more

We actually visited their new location on First Colonial Road, it just opened. Their menu is different from any Mexican restaurant we've ever been to. The selections make it hard to decide what to get. I absolutely love that they have the option of a lettuce wrap for tacos!!! The service, our meal, everything was absolutely spot on! We cannot wait to go back to try something we've never had before. You will not be disappointed! read more

Came here straight for the Russia World Cup 2018 since I saw a picture of them having a projector with a big screen. However the screen was not clear so we sat near the bar to watch the tvs over there, but those tvs are way too blurry. Howerer, the atmosphere here was nice, the decorations here are cute, the server was super energetic, friendly and works fast, and the food are delicious. After having our water we have been sat on the table for a while and haven't order yet since we were too concentrate on the match( You'll know that feeling if you watch live sports lol). Our server gave us the tortillas chips and sauce, and didn't rush to take our order, and I really appreciate that. We finally order our food during the half time and we ordered the combo meat Fajitas and Arroz Con Carne. The Fajitas- comes with rice, beans, salsa, sour cream, guacamole and 4, yes, 4 soft tortillas. The onion was a bit burned but other than that everything were delicious. The Arroz Con Carne- I had this dish from the other Las Palmas on Princess Anne Rd and I liked the one over there better because they put more cheese on the rice, but it's still taste good tho. I prefer my steak medium to medium rare so the steak to me is overcooked so I think I'll ask for that next time if I'm ordering the same dish. For all those food with some tortillas chips to take home and all the good service and good atmosphere, our bill came to less than 20 dollars(lunch), and since the three of us are not big eaters so we just shared our food, and with tips each of us paid 8 dollars, that's totally a rob. I'll definitely come back again for regular lunch time or when there are some live sports. However I recommend them to buy some better tvs. read more

Our family have tried many of the local Mexican Restaurants in the Chesapeake area but none of them have measured up to Las Palmas 2 at Lynnhaven. Their portion sizes are good the food is seasoned and delicious. We use street tacos as a measure for food because it is simple and many places just do not make them well despite their simplicity. Well, Las Palmas have exceptional Carne Asada street tacos. The meat is seasoned and the tortillas are fried not just warmed. We live in Chesapeake but will drive all the way out to VA Bch for their food and we have not been disappointed yet. read more

Las Palmas has quickly turned into our go-to Mexican restaurant. I always get their tacos, and they are made the right way - onions, cilantro and lime on top and nothing else on corn tortillas, of course with the meat of your choice. With this platter I get their rice and beans and it hits the spot, all for under $12.00. Everyone is super friendly and the service is extremely quick. P.S. Often times they have special deals, their last one was spend over $20/25 and get money off of your movie tickets! read more

This is only the 2nd time we have ate here and we will not be rushing back anytime soon. I grew up out west eating traditional Mexican food and this definitely not traditional or authentic. All in all the food was not bad it just wasn't good it was more ok food. I had the Enchilada Supreme and the presentation was nice, but the thing that makes enchiladas is the sauce. There was hardly any sauce under salad and way too much salad and sour cream for my liking, and with my wife's meal she asked to substitue rice for the beans. When plate arrived it had beans on the plate and they brought a side of rice and charged us for the rice. I don't mind paying the $1.99 for the rice its the principle of getting the order correct. In the Margarita I could barely taste the Jose Cuervo 1800 and I was not going ask for another shot and pay that price. The upside just like most Mexican restaurants the service was quick and friendly and food came to the table remarkably fast. read more

My vegetarian (1 cheese 1 potato) enchiladas were good but they didn't put the nacho cheese sauce on it and when I said with rice they gave me beans and charged me extra for my rice. I also ordered a hard shell taco and it hardly had any cheese on it and the meat was runny like it was sitting in juices and not drained. We would go to Mexican because it was fast and filling and a good size portion but lately I feel they want to charge extra for what got us to come in in the first place.

This is our new favorite Mexican spot! This fairly new location (opened in 2018), is tastefully decorated and very clean! I really like their salsa, white dip and melted cheese dip with tortilla chips (which all, except the cheese dip, comes complementary with meal or drinks). We've ordered everything from their monster burritos to fajitas and everything has been fresh, generous and yummy! Their fresh guacamole dip is delicious and made right in front of you. That alone can be a meal! Service is prompt and attentive. We've been with parties as large as 20+ and the waiters and waitresses still managed to serve everything as ordered and at the same time. Bonus: The margaritas are NOT made with that yucky tasting mix found in so many Mexican restaurants. They are the real deal! They give you the option of salted or sugared rim. Generous with the tequila. Muy bien! read more

We are here so frequently; I can't give lower than a 4. Formerly Ruby Tuesday, right outside Lynnhaven Mall, across the AMC theater. Typical Mexican fare, nothing insane. You know what is though?! In a good way? One dollar, hard beef, Taco Mondays! We are here for it! We always are! The tacos are meaty, juicy, full of flavor, and come with meat, lettuce, and delicious, freshly shredded Mexican cheese. Shout out to Adrian R. for telling us about this special! Workers are nice, sometimes not the most efficient, but hey, food is fast anyway. Where else can you get 5 tacos, a side of beans, and Las Palmas (specialty dip,) dinner for TWO, for $13.36 on a Monday?! Not too many places, I think! Craving Mexican while shopping? Come here after. Especially on a Monday! They also have a margarita special that day. Get rid of those Monday blues with tacos and margs; SI, SI! read more
