    Our waitress Anah did amazing job. She made sure our chip bowls were full and our drinks were top off.  Our food was delicious and it didn’t take very long to get. We will definitely recommend the restaurant and the server. We’ll see you soon.

    A little spicy, children and wife didn’t enjoy their meals. My father was treated like absolute crap while asking questions on the menu and being a little slower then most.. My dad still tipped her over 20% and it honestly broke my heart a bit that a young woman could treat an older gentleman this way and not even care.. Our waiter made our experience much lower then it could have been I believe we here name was Alana or something alike. I enjoyed my food as I like spicy but wont be back unfortunately.. bummer because I really enjoy some of the sister restaurants.. Don’t be a waitress if you don’t want to help people, be of service.. still bothering me a day later.

    Definitely not up to Palomino standards! The Kickin margaritas had a very odd taste, almost like soap in the glass! Not good at all! My husband‘s hard shell taco had nothing but a little bit of ground beef in it. The kids meals each had eight french fries with their entrée. Very disappointing! This is our go to Mexican place, but not sure anymore🙁

    Food and waiter were really good. The ambience and host role need a boost. Especially the host role, since that sets the mood at the start. Lack luster and unenthused at best is what we experienced. But in all, we always enjoy Palomino's.

    My friend and I enjoyed eating here. The food was very good, and the service was excellent. The margaritas were sub-par, way too much mixer and barely any ice so they weren't that cold and way too sweet.

    Went out for my Dad's 87th birthday and Palomino's was great. Great service and food. Definitely a loud restaurant, so my dad had a hard time hearing, but had a great time and he really enjoyed the complimentary ice cream he received! Thanks for that!

    It was a busy night there because there was an eagles game next door. Service was slow and food came out at room temperature. This has happened 2 out of our last three visits. I will check to see if the eagles have a home game next time and definitely pick a night that there is no game.

    The food must have been sitting in the back for a long while as it was only lukewarm when it arrived and took a long time to arrive. We eat here often and it’s usually nice and hot and comes out fairly fast.

    The food took forever! Even the quac, that tasted like it was scooped from an already made from fridge version, took at least 15 mins to get. If you have a show to make at bud center do not go here before as you will be late.

    Food came cold, not warm- COLD came back the 2nd time warm… a chimi is supposed to fried… mine came like a microwaved burrito, soggy and in a puddle of water…. Was inedible. Server brought our chips/salsa and drinks and then never saw him until he brought the cold food. Then waited 15 minutes for the check

    The food was good for our party of five on Saturday night. Our server was slow to take our order but overall the service was good, as was the food. The most negative feature of the evening was the clean up activities. At 7:20 pm on a Saturday night, servers proceeded to turn chairs upside down on the tables to begin the clean up. It was a real turn off for a dinner out for friends who all drove at least 30+ minutes enjoy an evening together. We not only felt rushed but thought the practice of putting dining chairs on top of an eating surface was unsanitary.
