It’s a 1950s diner, Cuban style. At Las Palmas, the portions are big (and cheap!) and the service is friendly.  Try the Cuban sandwich with pork, ham, and cheese ($4), or the carnes de res frita (fried flank steak) ($8), or the tostones (fried sweet plantains) ($4). They also have delicious milkshakes – made with real fruit – and traditional chicken soup if you want to stick to something a little less exotic.  Get ready to test your conversational Spanish skills and don’t forget to bring cash (since they don’t accept plastic).  (Open daily 7:30a-9:30p.)
