Are you looking for margaritas served in glasses the size of fishbowls? Are you looking for burritos blanketed with queso that cascades down the sides like a molten volcano? If so, Las Palmeras is the place for you. This Mexican restaurant located in Shallotte, NC has excellent and authentic cuisine. The chips and salsa, soft tacos, and basically anything on the menu that ends in "Texajas", which is a trio of grilled shrimp, chicken and steak, is out of this world. There are very few negatives I can come up that pertain to this restaurant. One being the menu might be a little too extensive, in fact, upon first glance, one might get it confused with the dictionary because it is so large. The other being the taco salads- stay away from those because they are actually more of a hybrid taco salad/soup, which is definitely something you don't want. Other than that, the service is very prompt and polite and the atmosphere is loaded with authentic decor and flair, resembling that of a quintessential Mexican border town. All in all, this is the go-to Mexican restaurant in the area which promises to provide a unique experience. Well done! read more
