Las Palmas Mexican Restaurant

Food is not that great.  The food is incredibly bland and the ingredients didn't seem fresh.  The service was really poor as well; we waited really long for our food and the waitress never stopped by again to ask us if we needed anything else.  On top of that, we got meat in one of our dishes even though we asked for it to be vegetarian.  I probably will not eat here again.

Upon our arrival we didn't feel comfortable at all because out server was very unfriendly!! This was before I showed him that I had a Groupon, which I knew he would like even less!! But I am always am very careful about tipping and making sure the servers are taken care of which I know is the their reasoning because they lose out normally with people assuming the tip is included, etc. The food was great, the margaritas are to die for! Next time I will opt for their 16 oz. margarita because I got the jumbo 27oz. one and had a very hard getting through half of it!! Our server didn't crack a smile the whole time! And at the end he didn't know which Groupon was ours as he came up to us with 4 in hand. Ours was the color copy, the rest were black and white copies?? But then I check on my phone app for Groupon to make sure and it was disappeared!!? So they must have scanned the coupon!?  He got annoyed and walked away. Then I did find it in my used Groupons?? But he never said anything more so I'm guessing it was fine! A bit of a hassle and I don't know if the language issue was a problem or he was just clueless!? But we got through it, besides the food/drink the server made our experience questionable!?

This place sucks. Short review: Most mexican places charge less $ for much better food and better service. These people are obviously not even trying anymore! They survive off of lazy Napervillians who don't want to drive beyond a few miles & don't know any better.

We were one of two tables occupied and it took nearly 20 minutes to get our food. Strike One!
We ordered the guacamole appetizer which was $8. It consisted of a glob of guacamole on a plate with 3 chips shoved in it and bits of iceberg lettuce for garnish. rather flavorless and way overpriced for what it is. Strike Two!
All their meat is tough and fatty. Some of the meat has connective tissue attached. I tried the mexican buffet and it was gross. Not just gross, but cold as well. How the hell food in warming pans gets that cold is beyond me. Strike Three!
It gets worse...
My friend got a burrito and said the meat was not good. Also, he paid extra for sour cream and guacamole on the side. When he got the burrito there was nothing else on the plate. He told our server and she said. "Oh no, we put inside the burrito." While there was plenty of sour cream inside, there was no guac. He only ate half of it. The other half we dissected and sure enough, no guac. The meat looked bad.
My mom ordered the the chicken fajita salad. It was supposed to come with sliced avocado and chicken fajita meat. It came with a blob of guacamole and gnarled chicken pieces that mom said were rubbery and sour. They looked really bad. The salad was finished up with iceberg lettuce, tomato slices (one was green) and dices jalapeno peppers. AND IT COST $10.95!!!
The manager took $3 off of our bill. I told him were never coming here again. he shrugged.
You all have been warned..
