" Palominos really lives up to its reputation! I’m a regular here, and I always leave satisfied. Their shrimp tacos are out of this world! Also, the a la carte menu is perfect for those of us who enjoy sampling various items. Just bring cash, as they don’t accept cards! This is truly a hidden gem, and I'll always come back. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was fine, nothing remarkable. I had a regular breakfast burrito, it filled me up, but it wasn't memorable. The service was decent, no complaints there, but I don’t think I’ll rush to go back unless I hear more positive things from friends. A solid choice for a casual meal though. " (*Curated Review*)

" Very cool little place! I tried their carne asada fries, and let me tell you, they were delicious! The fries were crispy and loaded with toppings. The staff was friendly and the whole experience could not have been better. Perfect for anyone needing a quick bite with quality food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I checked out Palominos after hearing about it from friends, and I must say I’m glad to have tried it! The food was hearty, and I liked the homemade taste of the tacos. The cashier was kind, but the place needs more seating. I will come back soon for another taste! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’d say mixed feelings about my experience. The enchiladas tasted good, but I found the portion a bit small, especially for the price I paid. Service was alright, but the cleanliness of the restaurant needs improvement. Overall alright, but I think I’ll look for alternative Mexican options in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Service was hit or miss depending on who was working. The owner is super nice, but I’ve had experiences where staff seemed overwhelmed. The food quality stays high, though. I particularly recommend the nachos. They are loaded and have generous toppings. I’m likely to revisit this place despite the inconsistent service. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have mixed feelings. The chimichanga I ordered was too oily and not what I expected. The atmosphere didn’t feel welcoming either. While I appreciate the decent service, I wouldn’t rush back unless I hear better reviews on their other dishes. Just too much hit and miss. " (*Curated Review*)
