This is the best Cuban food in Atlanta, by far (with the possible exception of the Kool Korners' sandwich). I have visited the other Cuban restaurants in town, most of which are relatively disappointing. Las Palmeras serves simple, flavorful food. The masitas de puerco is my favorite dish...slow roasted pork that is quick-fried and served with a lemon garlic sauce and onions. The pork is tender from the slow-roasting and slightly crispy from the quick trip to the fryer...there is nothing like it anywhere else and it is pork perfected.
