What User doesn't like about La Paloma:
The Shredded Beef Crispy Tacos were still the best. The Tamale was the worst. It was so masa filled. It had a hint of nutmeg or cinnamon and that was off putting to us. No meat was found as we cut it open. Then we returned it and got a Crispy Taco but it was so so Extra Crispy... almost too crispy to eat. We were disappointed more when we got the beef enchilada... no beef. Flatter than flat. View all feedback. What User likes about La Paloma:
This restaurant is my favorite! I would dine here every day if I had the chance. I usually order the chicken Monterey, even though the price has gone up quite a bit, but that's alright. I also enjoy the flan from time to time. The chips and salsa are consistently fantastic, as is the guacamole and the fajitas. I love to mix my rice with beans, salsa, and guacamole—it's absolutely delicious! View all feedback.

One of my grandma's favorite restaurants, so we have their 90. Birthday celebrated!!

Food came out fresh but had no flavor. Service was super slow but the horchata was DELICIOUS.

After calling more than half a dozen local taquerias today, all of which were closed for the holiday (New Year's Day), we decided to give La Paloma another try.

This Mexican restaurant is a staple in an area filled with excellent taquerias, which is a remarkable achievement. My family and I enjoy dining here from time t...
