Las Palmas has been cranking out some solid Tex-Mex for years; in fact, it was the 2022 Reader's Choice pick for best all-around restaurant in Uptown. The votes poured in for good reason: the restaurant nails the classic dishes and serves them up in a classy dining room that mixes Dallas with a splash of Hollywood.
As a surprise hit, go for the half-rack of the hickory-grilled ribs, served on a bed of fries with a side of charro beans. The ribs are sauced with a tangy and slightly spicy sauce, and we barely had to nudge a bone before it let go from the juicy pork. Overly tender ribs like this may not win barbecue competitions, but in the mainstream, people judge ribs by their ability to "fall off the bone," and Las Palmas wins in that regard.
