A new Mexican restaurant, Las Palmas, has opened where the Brazilian place Aquarales was at 1622 Eastern Ave.

As Sam, who took this photo for me, says, Mexican will probably do better here. This looks like the real deal, with the most expensive item on the menu being bistec encebollado (steak and onions) for $10.95.

The  menu says it's open Monday to Sunday from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., but I can't decide if that means  "through Sunday" -- in other words, daily. My Spanish isn't up to asking, either. Those hours mean that breakfast is also served. 

Feel free to comment below if you've tried it.
