Las Palmas

Description
We're dubious of a Mexican joint where the servers push mojitos as their favorite drink. But it made sense when we saw a menu that started somewhere in Mexico and took cues from around the world. The lamb, an enormous shank, is laced with cinnamon and wrapped in banana leaves. Skip the empanadas, but don't miss the crêpes filled with cream cheese and caramel; they're tart, sweet and delicious. Like the food, the mariachi goes global, plodding along singing traditional Mexican ditties only to segue into tunes like "Ruby Tuesday" and "Cecilia."
