| - If it weren't for UYE's, I think a lot of us would miss hidden gems like Las Palmas! I had the pleasure of attending an "Ethnic Cuisine Training Wheels" UYE and I'm so glad I didn't miss this event!!
1. We got swag bags!! (thank you, Chad) Who doesn't like stickers and stuff with clever Yelp sayings?
2. The group was so much fun (we even had people from out of town)
3. The food was delicious!! (easy on the tummy; easy on the wallet)
I got the Arroz con Pollo and Yuca Fritas (which are very similar to potatoes, except more starch). I also nommed on the Colombian empanada, which is different from the Cuban empanada b/c it's crust is a maize-based instead of flaky pastry (whatever, flaky pastry or corn, it was *explicative* tasty). Lastly, I indulged in some Tres Leches cake, which was a little too runny for my tastes, but super rich and delicious!!
All-in-all, this place was wonderful. The wait staff was pleasant and kept the drinks full, and my dining experience was very charming. I'll definitely be coming back to try some of the Cuban food.
