Paloma

Sat at a high top table in the bar area. My friend and i made it in time for happy hour so we had good margaritas on the rocks with salt. For our second ones we tried the hibiscus margaritas. My friend liked her hibiscus more, I preferred the house marg more, both great. Lakeisha was our server, she gave us space and had the perfect balance of attentive as well. Never felt ignored but not rushed. She was great and funny We started with the nachos. They were delicious, the cheese was so good but it did make them sort of a challenge to rip out of the nacho pile. I had the mushroom taco and cauliflower burnt ends. Loved my taco but I wouldn't have known it had mushrooms on it tbh. The cauliflower burnt ends were good and so interesting the way they smelled exactly like smoked meat. Cool interiors, neat little spot. This is not a cheap place. A happy hour marg was $9. Nachos without meat were $15. Location of course to be considered.

Drinks were great. Our server (bartender) since we were sitting at the bar...was fantastic, attentive, honest. Food had some good hits and some slight misses. Hits: guacamole, chips, tortillas, sirloin steak, bacon side (i mean, how can you go wrong),the brown sauce, the corn sideMiss: beef tartar was slightly lacking in flavor. The salsa was a bit too tart...borderline saucy ketchup...i love a smooth salsa: but this needed maybe a little more depth of flavor, the chimichurri (wasn't a miss, but not the best one i've had...or the brown sauce was just THAT good). and the potatoes: the sauce was great but could use more of it, but some of the larger pieces of potato could have been fried or cooked longer...I Didnt try dessert but would have appreciated a chocolate dessert of some sort...mexican hot chocolate or something like that?Overall it would be more of a 3.5 star review...but i think if i tried other things on the menu...it could possibly top it to 4...

Not a great experience overall. Our table was very dirty when we sat down, it seemed like they didn't wipe it down beforehand so we had to ask our server twice to clean it. The music in the dining room is to loud to have a normal conversation. The food is so so. The guacamole bar with Smoked Cauliflower is excellent, however the Alaskan Black Cod is terrible, it was so fishy that we barely touched it. We mentioned it to our server and all we got is a shrug. Friends of ours ordered couple things - grilled octopus (they indicated it was excellent) but shrimp ceviche was not good.Not sure if it was an off night but this was definitely off. Not a place I could recommend.

Pamela happy hour is a bit unfair. On the menus it says 20% tip is already included. Service at the bar isn't great as there is just one bartender all night. So service is not very fast and things come out not as hot as they should. On the bill they give you it gives you additional suggestions of what you should give as gratuity. So it comes off confusing as I'm sure many people end up tipping 40%!! maybe it's different if you're just getting table service but it's still feels very unfair

Small menu but everything was delicious! Definitely get the dip sampler! We went with a sample of tacos and they were all delicious. The service was particularly good, our server was friendly and attentive and we never wanted for anything.

Heard they had good tacos, and had been wanting to check the place out, so we made a reservation for Friday. Almost immediately we learn that tacos are only available at the bar (which was full) and couldn't be ordered at a table. I guess the one saving grace is that we learned this before sitting down and ordering drinks.Can't speak to the food or the service, because we just turned around and walked out. If there's one thing I can't stand it's arbitrary and asinine rules.

Finally popped in to try Paloma. Happy hour was still running in the bar, which was a win. They have a solid happy hour menu including $3 tacos which you can mix and match. Service was quick and friendly.

I've been to Paloma a couple of times before but I only had the tacos during my previous visits, which were satisfying. During this visit, I had the shrimp enchiladas and they were okay. I wasn't expecting for the enchiladas to be served in a bowl and I think that is what contributed to a lot of liquid being at the bottom of the bowl. It seems as if the liquid caused the ingredients inside of the enchiladas to fall apart and the entree ended up being more soupy than solid. My friends had the Paloma salad and a variety of the tacos and overall, they enjoyed their food. The service was great and the server was nice and attentive. I would visit again but I personally would not order the enchiladas again.

My friend and I went to Paloma for "brunch" the place looked cleaned and they had a moxi atmosphere. We sat at the bar and Kamelah was our server, lovely lady. Few constructive criticism notes... chips and salsa are not complementary, the lime in my margarita was an old lime, the side portion of guacamole was a kids size portion with no flavor. The thing I was most disappointed with, is that their tacos are served with flour or gluten free flour, tortillas. It would've been nice if they can offer a corn tortilla, like the tacos should be made of. Also- the receptionist was drinking tea/coffee while greeting guests... maybe she could out her cup down were people can't see it, a bit unprofessional if you ask me. 6/10. Maru

Finally found a place in Shaker forhappy hour - and this was top notch! Gorgeous decor and atmosphere and the food/drinks were amazing. Can't wait to go back!
