Insider Pages Reviews for La Paloma Mexican Restaurant
We love the drinks and the family feeling went we go. We love the comb plate. Chips and salsa are always good. Go early because parking is hard around lunch crowd and dinner on friday nights. This is a local favorite.

Location - Its on a busy location of elcamino real, which I think is good. I guess it gets more and more people coming in. Parking is a little difficult to get especially during the weekends.
Food- This is the best mexican food I have had so far. I usually order the chicken fajitas. The chicken was tender and fresh, not overcooked or dry. The tortillas were steaming hot. All the other items on the menu are yummy.
The thing I liked best was that they went a little mild on the cream, cheese and all the heavy stuff that goes with it. I have noticed other mexican restaurants trying to make the dish rich with sourcream , butter etc. I am more inclined towards healthy eating outside and since I am a big fan of Mexican food, I found what I was looking for at LaPaloma -a healthy mexican food.
Their color scheme reminds me of indian village colors (I am from India). When you step in, the wall colors and the ambience takes you to a traditional mexican village.

Not up to expectations. I suggest skipping this place.
by GoogleNorthAmericanUnion
Read the great reviews on here and drove right over for dinner the other night. Long story short, I wouldn't spend my money there again. The place is "traditional" Mexican in appearance and a bit dirty looking. The floors are carpeted and likely are the reason for the slight odor as you walk into the place. The food was bland and didn't do it for me. About the only thing I actually enjoyed was the free salsa. And I suppose the water wasn't too bad.
Pros: Salsa
Cons: Restaurant odor, bland food, dirty appearance

Good meal at an affordable price
by lgrealtor
The staff is friendly and the food enjoyable. I usually order the tostada or tacos and have not been dissappointed. Sometimes the restaurant is pretty busy in the evening and may require a few minute wait. The margharitas are quite tasty too.
Pros: Very good food at an affordable price, great margharitas
Cons: sometimes crowded in the evening, tight parking

La Paloma is really very mediocre Mexican food. I consider myself to be a huge fan of Mexican food and so upon realizing how popular La Paloma seems to be, I wanted to give it a try. I ordered some kind of cheese enchilada thing and it was VERY heavy and EXTREMELY salty and just generally bore no resemblance, in either palatability or presentation to other, better enchiladas I've had at numerous establishments in the Bay Area , all over California and Mexico itself . The rice was bland and the beans had an unusual, unidentifiable texture. The service was decent and the restaurant itself is clean and comfortable, but the food is severely lacking. I ate there with three other people, and they all had similar opinions to mine regarding the fare. My first thought when it was all said and done was that La Paloma is a restaurant that would be enjoyed by people who don't like or haven't tried real Mexican food. Upon reading others of these reviews, I realized I was right when I noticed that some people have used Chevy's as the standard by which to base their comparisons of what good Mexican food is.
Try La Paloma if you're dying of curiosity or happen to find yourself there through no choice of your own (i.e. a family dinner, lunch meeting or date) but otherwise, I wouldn't recommend it.
Pros: Good service, clean.
Cons: Food's not great.
