La Paloma

This place has excellent, authentic food! Tried the banana leaf tamales, corn husk tamales, street tacos, and empanadas. All were excellent.

Hole in the wall, homey, Mexican customers, I loved the tamales and horchata. I went right before closing and didn't like the ceviche but that is on me. Service was very good. Thank you!

Very close to what you would get in Mexico. Great food , great service. Only downside is no beer or margaritas.

The second best place for authentic Mexican, not Tex-Mex like most of the others. Mexico Lindo is the best place if you were wondering. A small restaurant, with about 8 tables. Greeted warmly by the owner and served by her husband. Super nice and the service was fast. We got our usual and they were good, but the sauce on my chile relleno was a little different more tart than I would like. Their "street tacos" are really good, I had it with lengua, dressed simply with cilantro and onions. They did offer it with cheese and other things like tomatoes. Some of the other taquerias do and I don't know why, that's a good way to ruin a good taco. The tacos are very good and I could probably just have eaten that. I got some flan and some candies to go. If you want authentic and a few more dishes that the aforementioned Mexico Lindo then La Paloma would be an excellent choice.

I have lived in Mexico previously and this is literally the most authentic street food Mexican restaurant in the entire area. I absolutely love the tamales here and they are so authentic, literally the only item on the menu that isn't authentic and when I asked, she was very embarrassed to tell me that the burritos were American style. So between us we worked out a compromise and made the burrito a little more Mexican and a lot less Americanized. But literally everything else on the menu is straight out of Mexico. I highly recommend the food here. They also recognize my voice on the phone and are very kind to me and they remember what I like. They do have table service and it's a fairly small space probably about 8 tables. But I always take my food home and enjoy it. Next time you are in the area stop in and enjoy something wonderful off their menu!

While Etown doesn't have very many local restaurants to choose from, it somehow has a very large proportion of Mexican-style options. Even with the saturation of Mexican restaurants in the area, La Paloma very much stands out for me. First of all, the food is wonderful. The way they prepare their meals, even the plates they use, feel a lot more home-y to me, in the absolute best way. Their salsas are delicious, so much so that my husband seems to forget every single time that he and the extra hot sauce don't get along. He says it's worth it every time. We also really love the empanadas, especially the cheese ones.The staff is always very sweet, and the locale makes it feel like you're at home. We really love this place, we would recommend this to anyone, and we've brought many people here to try for themselves.

This was an amazing meal. Small, hole in the wall kind of place but you could tell the food was cooked with love and passion!Service was as expected for a small "mom and pop" shop. Very attentive and accommodating. I will certainly be back.

We came for some lunch & tried something different. I love the enchiladas they were so delicious & the carna asada tacos my kid favorite. I got an empanada on the side, it was so delicious. The service is so excellent.

This is where you go for authentic Central American food! The tamales are fresh, not frozen. Salsa is delicious. Excellent seasoning with good lunch prices. It was $8 for two tamales with rice and beans. I ordered pastel de tres leche to take with me and it was so good! I didn't get to try them but the empanadas looked great.

La Paloma has great food! Everything we've ordered has been good including the burritos, tamales, tacos, tostadas, chille rellenos, and yummy fresh-made guacamole!! It is a very clean restaurant, with great, quick service too! It's one of our favorites in Etown!
