" Last Saturday, I attempted to get brunch here with a few friends. Unfortunately, we were met with a disorganized staff and long wait times, which was quite disappointing. Once we received our food, however, the flavors made up for the hassle. The chilaquiles and freshly made tortillas were fantastic! If they could improve their service here, La Paloma would easily be a five-star location. I hope to return and see if they’ve made adjustments, as I truly enjoyed the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m so glad I found La Paloma! The first time I visited, I was in search of good Mexican food and was lured in by the smell of fresh tortillas. After my meal, I couldn't believe I hadn’t tried this place sooner! The menudos on weekends are incredible, easily the best I’ve had in the area, but the queue can get long if you come during peak hours. The ambiance adds to the whole experience, making you feel transported to a home kitchen. Only downside was the parking, which can be a bit tricky, hence a point off of the service rating. I’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Paloma definitely lives up to the hype! From the moment I walked in, the smell of spices and fresh tortillas greeted me. I ordered the carne asada fries, and they were delicious— the green sauce was the perfect topping! The service was friendly and efficient. Just a heads up, though, the dining area could use a little more attention when it comes to cleanliness. Besides that, my experience was delightful! " (*Curated Review*)

" I used to love La Paloma but was disappointed on my last visit. The food was still good, but it lacked the freshness I was used to. I ordered their famous tamales, but they were slightly dry this time. It’s heartbreaking because I have many fond memories tied to this place. The atmosphere remains welcoming, and the staff is friendly. I really hope they can revert to how they used to be. Until then, I will keep my fingers crossed for improvements. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited La Paloma after seeing it mentioned so often in my local food groups. The moment I stepped in, I was greeted by the aroma of freshly baked bread from their bakery section. I decided to try the carne asada tacos and was blown away by the flavor! The meat was juicy and seasoned perfectly, complemented by their homemade salsa. Although the service was a bit slow during the lunch rush, the staff was friendly and attentive. Overall, I'm glad I found this gem and can't wait to return! Highly recommend trying their tamales next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing all the buzz, I finally tried La Paloma and I was amazed! Their homemade salsas were incredible with the tacos I ordered. You could taste the level of care that goes into cooking their dishes. The only downside was the limited parking, which made the trip a little stressful. Regardless, I left with a happy stomach and will definitely be heading back for their tamales soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the best dining experience at La Paloma last weekend! The ambiance is inviting, and it feels very family-friendly. I tried the pozole, which was flavorful, and my husband got the birria tacos. We loved everything! It felt like home-cooked food, and I appreciate that. The only drawback was that our server seemed overwhelmed and forgot our side order, but the food made up for it entirely. I can’t recommend them enough for authentic Mexican food!
