We stayed overnight in Mount Vernon on a 4 day bike ride across Ohio. We had dinner here and it was pretty good despite the fact that it didn't look like anyone was of Mexican descent. One item to point out that s they don't serve beer or wine

Just get a sopapilla! We had the veggie and cheese and beans and cheese, and both were fresh, crisp, and tasty. You can skip the lettuce and tomato topping - it's fine, but a little extra. If you like spice, ask for the green salsa. The complimentary chips and salsa were good and fresh. The donkey ears were also so, so delicious. Our server was very friendly and helpful, and it's cozy inside, with booths and tables.

La Paloma is indeed a wonderful, family owned restaurant. Our service was prompt and friendly and we enjoyed the chips and salsa a lot. We even learned of a little secret and ask for and add some ranch dressing to the salsa, it was delicious. We ordered the seafood sopapillas and thought they were amazing. A warm, welcoming, and cozy feeling restaurant with great food!

I have 30+ years eating with this restaurant family. Brought my fiancé to try the mt Vernon restaurant for the first time. The beef, bean, and cheese sopapillas were fresh and hot. The staff wore masks and the restaurant was clean. My only complaint was that the salsa was really bland today. More so than usual. That made everything kinda bland. Overall, I love the restaurant refresh and I will, for sure, be back!!!

This was an excellent place and everybody was very nice. The first girl who greeted us gave us a complete run down of her favorites. She was right! The soparilla was awesome and they had great enchilada sauce. This was my first time in MV. We went there for the bike trail and we would certainly stop by this place again.

We were in Mount Vernon last week for a show and the place down the street was super busy. Because we didn't have a lot of time on our hands and based on decent Yelp reviews, we decided to try La Paloma. I've been around long enough to know that when you enter a so-called ethnic restaurant and don't see a single person of that ethnicity in the place that you should turn and run. But we were hungry, this place could accommodate us and the Yelp reviews were pretty good, so all should have been good. That fantasy was shattered when the chips and salsa arrived. The tortilla chips were clearly out of a bag, which is not optimal but okay with me as long as the salsa is good. I have no idea where this restaurant obtains their salsa, but if there's such a thing as extra extra mild, that's what they're serving there. Sadly, the nearly flavorless salsa was a small sample of things to come. My wife and I ordered the sopapillas, she chicken and I beef. They resembled large empanadas, with the meat and cheese encased in a kind of pie crust type of thing. It resembled a calzone. I took a bite of it and all I could taste was the lettuce and tomatoes on top. I tried again, and to my astonishment, even with a decent amount of meat and cheese inside the thing was absolutely flavorless. I get that spicy might have offended some of the local Ohio sensibilities but there was zero seasoning at all. I added an unhealthy amount of salt to it but even with that it was not good. My wife agreed, and although our daughter said that her cheese enchilada was passable, the chicken taco also lacked flavor. Now granted, I'm a lifelong Southern Californian who lived for many years in San Diego just a few miles from the Mexican border and just recently relocated to Ohio to care for my elderly mother-in-law, so I'm used to very good Mexican food. I've found a couple of very solid Mexican restaurants in Ohio, but sadly, La Paloma was not one of them.

I always enjoy beginning with a large nacho with extra peppers-never disappoints! Always covered with plenty of cheese and the cheese is indeed what makes this starter my favorite. I also enjoy the sopapillas... always get the beef, bean and cheese smothered in both red and green salsas.

Great food and friendly staff. I was pleasantly surprised. The food came out quickly and tasted great. The only drawback was that their chips were kinda iffy.

Cute on the outside, small "Mexican" restaurant. I'm not from around here so I thought I would try, I immediately knew this was not the place. The atmosphere was weird, server was weird, food was not good. As a Mexican restaurant I would expect seasoned food, upbeat fun music, and hot sauce..... none of which we had.
