" Our family loves to order from Palominos. Their breakfast burritos are legendary, flavorful, and a great way to start the day. The only downside is the seating area is a bit cramped and not very inviting. The food quality is consistent, though, which keeps us coming back. We often get takeout, which I recommend since we're always satisfied with the portions! " (*Curated Review*)

" I took my friends to Palominos to try some authentic Mexican dishes and we were not disappointed. The flavors were robust, especially in the grilled fish taco. Not only that, but the staff was cheerful and helpful. We felt very welcomed. I only wish there were more options on the drink menu. Overall a great experience, I would return without hesitation. " (*Curated Review*)

" Palominos is an absolute hidden gem! I got the caldos, and it was soothing on a chilly day. It's a little shop with a lot to offer. The chefs really seem to care about quality. I can taste the freshness in every bite. If you don't mind a simple environment, you'll love the food here. " (*Curated Review*)

" The taco shop is a gem hidden in a strip mall! I was pleasantly surprised by the delightful taste of the chilaquiles and the people working there are so friendly. However, the atmosphere felt a bit rustic, which isn’t bad, but it could use some sprucing up. Nevertheless, the food makes up for it. I plan to come back when I'm in the area again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Palominos is absolutely worth every penny for their incredible food! From the delicious fish tacos to their refreshing salsa, everything tasted fresh and vibrant. The staff welcomes you with a smile, and even during busy hours, they manage to keep up with orders. I can’t wait to visit again! " (*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*)
