We were in for an early weeknight dinner and Paloma never disappoints! Great tasty food and friendly attentive staff... What more do you need! The menu includes a good variety of soft tacos and sides, cocktails and homemade soft drinks. A good place to visit with our older teen.

Really tasty tacos and delicious side dishes. Veggie options as good as, if not better, than meat tacos.

Our second visit to Paloma and we weren't disappointed... The menu has changed, but it's still a great variety and really fresh, tasty food. We took our fussy teenage son with us and there was plenty of choice to keep him happy. It's a nice vibe, would definitely be back.

The place is super stylish, perfect for a night out during the week with friends. The Mexican food was fresh and full of flavor and the tacos were delicious. The cocktails were incredible too. The staff was super friendly and helpful. If you're looking for great food, drinks, and a cool atmosphere, Palmona is definitely worth a visit!

Very nice spot, good food, excellent service. The only downside for me was that it was very loud, I don't know if it was the music or the acustics, but we had to shout to hear each other. I would still recommend this place to my friends!
