Las Palmas Description:
Las Palmas has been around more than a decade now, long enough for fans of Mexican fare to have discovered it. Nonetheless, this ordinary-looking spot not far from Lambert-St. Louis International Airport is still a sleeper. Owner Abel Suarez may have earned his chops at a Tex-Mex chain, but his food here is eons better; this is the sort of small, colorful, family-friendly place that reinforces the idea of avoiding drive-thru franchises at all costs. Start with one of seven deadly margaritas---we suggest the namesake---then go on to chicken enchiladas verdes, carnitas, soft tacos or fajitas. The bright-green rice with cilantro and the fresh refried beans are edible evidence of the kitchen's commitment to quality.
