Me and my family hurt ourselves we ate so much. The salsa was not spicy. EVERYTHING was seasoned to perfection. The chicken, steak, shrimp, even the vegetable medley. My husband had the special, which gave him a little bit of everything for under 20. I tried the Pollo rodeo and loved the cheese sauce. The wall mural was beautiful. Service was very friendly, patient with my family as we took awhile deciding. The plates came out fast and hot. Absolutely loved it here and will be returning!
Great place to eat. We celebrated my husbands Birthday here. We are not from this area but are happy we went here. Everyone liked their meals. I got the chicken fajita tacos and the flavor to me was great! Our waitress was super kind. They were busy when we went, there wasn't a wait. Overall nice place for Mexican food.
This place had been my favorite Mexican restaurant for years and still is! My new favorite dish is the Birria Pizza! It's full of flavor and comes with a Consomme (sauce) to dip the pizza in. Definitely worth trying you won't be disappointed. The service is always great and fast as well. Overall love this place!
Delicious food and great service! I absolutely loved my first visit and will definitely come again. Been back multiple times now. Seriously love their food. I 1000% recommend their chorizo tacos. I’ve tried almost all of their options, but the chorizo I keep coming back to.
Stopped on our way through Coldwater. Paloma was very good. Quesadilla’s were loaded with steak and veggies. The chorizo & queso dip had lots of chorizo and flavor. And the tortilla chips were hot and crunchy.
When me and my wife visited a couple weeks ago with some family, we were left wanting more. So we made the drive from Kalamazoo today to indulge ourselves in what we call THE best Mexican restaurant in SW Michigan. They start you off with salsa and delicious tortilla chips which you can tell are made in-house. The aguas frescas are served in huge chilled mugs and are absolutely divine (especially the horchata!). I highly recommend you order the vallarta especial if you're extra hungry. Juicy and extremely well seasoned, chicken, shrimp, and steak along with rice, beans, guac, salad, and tortillas for a little over 20. The servers are very attentive, friendly, and bilingual. We got everything you see in the pictures for about 55, highly recommend for a very nice lunch or a date night!
Amazing! Excellent service and flavor.
This place was so amazing! I truly highly reccomend. Like one minute after you sit down, you get greated with a smile and chips with wonderful salsa. I ordered the tacos, which came with beans and rice. The meat was so juicy, and the cilantro was fresh and delicious.
