Vegans and vegetarians rejoice, because this as an awesome plant-based restaurant! As far as I know they change their menu/cuisine yearly and this year it's Mexican! The extensive menu features tacos, enchiladas, nachos and many more delights which makes it very hard to choose. And then there's the similarly extensive cocktail menu! Suffice to say that the food is drop-dead delicious! The Southern Fried Pineapple was surely unusual (and messy to eat) but o so yummy. Big shout-out to all the staff, everyone there was extremely chill and helpful - one of the waiters gave me some recommendations on what's popular on the menu which I really appreciated! I'm definitely coming back, regardless if it's still Mexican food or something completely different. We need more places like this!

We had a great dinner and drinks with friends and suddenly there was a drag show as well. Lots of alcohol free and low alcohol drinking options, which are really tasty. Absolutely recommend to come here!

We had great Mexican vegan food here! Absolutely loved the selection & the taste was as good as it can get! The service was a little slow but overall a good recommendation for anyone wanting to try a Mexican vegan spot!

Such a fun spot with an effortlessly cool vibe. We came for the cocktails, and they absolutely delivered — creative, well-balanced, and seriously enjoyable. The atmosphere is just as impressive, with a lively, laid-back energy that makes it perfect for a night out. Great drinks, great music, and a space that feels unique without trying too hard.

Paradise Palms is one of my absolute favorite places to eat!! The food is packed with flavor, and it never feels like it’s trying to “replace” anything, its just great food! The buffalo “chicken” burger is incredible and one of my favs: crispy, juicy, spicy, and just delicious. The atmosphere is fun and welcoming and every dish I’ve tried so far has been a hit. It’s the kind of place you fall a little in love with and keep coming back to :)
