What reviewers say about Paloma
People say this restaurant offers vibrant, modern Mexican flavors with a fresh and creative twist, and great cocktails, especially margaritas and mezcal-based drinks. They also highlight the inviting, lively yet comfortable ambiance with colorful decor, and the friendly, knowledgeable staff who enhance the experience. Other reviews mention the food can be overpriced.
“Addendum to prior review: Paloma recently underwent a renovation and change to their dining scheme. They have changed to ‘fine dining’ and now only serve their taco menu at their bar. My husband and I recently went to check out their change in menu for happy hour/dinner and sat at the bar. The food is still their normal standard of delicious. However, service is very slow and took about 20 minutes for us to receive menus, and we never actually did receive the happy hour menu. I will qualify this by saying they are short staffed as they only have one bartender staffing for about 12 guests. The main complaint though, was that in the end our bill for 6 tacos, two cocktails, and two side dishes came out to be $108 for two people. It was surprising for us because as we were going to sign the check we almost missed the 20% automatic gratuity that was applied. We feel that this should not have be automatically included as we were a party of two and seated at the bar. Prior review: We went for dinner and brunch recently and had some really amazing tacos! Some of our favorites and the pig face and birria tacos! Definitely recommend doing a mix and match with the tacos so you can try several different ones.”
“We were a large group so we had a pre-planned menu with limited options. I had a shrimp appetizer which was good (not great but ok) and for dinner I had a breaded chicken dish which had limited flavors. The dessert though (caramel churros) was absolutely delicious! The servers were great and the restaurant itself was quite nice. Maybe their everyday menu is better.”
“The food here at Paloma was absolutely out of the world! Our server Cheryl was an absolute treat and made us feel so welcome. She recommended the short ribs to be and informed me that they weren’t very short, well boy was she right! These were THE most tender, Smokey, flavorful fall off the bone short ribs I’ve ever had! The flavors were immaculate, service was a 100/10, and atmosphere was lively but cozy. Definitely will be back!”
