A love story

Eric Garcia and Laura Ordehi created Palmas out of pure love for the beautiful Tropics and the art of Mixology.

Starting in their humble 900 sq ft apartment in Waco Tx; Eric and Laura brainstormed of ways to combine their passion of becoming entrepreneurs with their love for Bartending, and Customer Service.

It sprouted from Faith...

Laura ~

"Knowing in our mind and our heart, in order to be successful or feel fulfilled, "you must put God first." Together, we prayed over the business plan and for an opportunity to present itself for us to showcase our skills. Then God spoke, and we were offered the chance to work our very first event in June 2023!"

...And it grew with actions.

Eric ~

"We are grateful to God for giving us an opportunity to get started with this business. We have worked day and night to strategize a functional and aesthetically pleasing business concept. Also while focusing on what makes us happy."

"Born and raised in the Heartland of Florida, I grew up with homegrown roots, a love for wildlife, and the beach! Moving to Dallas, Texas in 2019, was definitely a culture shock. Having met Eric shortly after, definitely made the transition easier."

"Over the years that followed, I discovered the passion I have for plant based and holistic practices. This passion then grew into crafting higher quality things at home with better ingredients."

"Being born and raised in Dallas, Texas brings me much pride and joy. The city has taught me numerous amounts of different skills. Including how to build relationships and master guests overall experience. Starting in the service industry in 2018 as a Server then a Bartender, I discovered a great appreciation for the art of mixology. Years later after meeting Laura, we decided to combine our skills, and Palmas was born."
