We had not been at Palo for about a year, a little surprising as we have always enjoyed the place…read moreand the food. It was mid week at around 8pm and the place was surprisingly half empty. We were led to a corner table by Michael who greeted us at the door and was to be our server. As usual the room was noisy. (Later we asked whether the music volume could be turned down which they did, much appreciated) We scanned the menu and found it hard to not order everything! However, we started with a Martini and a Cubano Viejo - both of which were well made and went down nicely. While we were deciding we nibbled on delicious almonds. As usual we shared a number of dishes. The seasonal Croquettes, the Patatas Bravas (slightly spicy), Gambas Ajillo with extra bread to sop up the tasty sauce, and to top it all our favorite Lamb Chops. For dessert we had an excellent pistachio tart washed down with a glass of a fine Cabernet. All the dishes were excellent and deserving of the highest rating - rare for us. (Perhaps because everything jelled nicely. The check came to $140 o which we added a good tip. We had ordered too much and took some of the food home to consume the next day. Our server was very attentive and cheerful (I think we had him on a previous occasion). The experience was most enjoyable and we will certainly be back sooner than later.

They have their own parking lot in the back. It's a hot bar but also a whole restaurant lol the interior is so nice that take out is a very hard option to do because you want to dine in lol For two large entrees and a large spaghetti, it came out to be $42. This also includes a drink! I got the stewed chicken, stewed goat, and spaghetti. If you never had Dominican spaghetti before, please do try! It's super flavorful, a little sweet, and a little salty. It's so good. Stewed chicken was good but not the best. What one lacks, the other compliments. The rice here is so moist and fluffy. Along with the sides they offer. I opted for macaroni salad. Highly recommended. The stewed goat was a little salty but that's up my alley lol I can see it being a little issue for some but I love salty food lol Very disappointed they didn't have oxtails though. It was only 2pm and they were out already. Overall, let's just say, I wish this place was closer to home!!

The place was lively and noisy with patrons and an enthusiastic staff. We shared a Quesadilla de champinon, an Arrachara campesina and Split Plis. Drinks included the Casa Mahon and Mariposa-partida blanco. All the food tasted authentic and better than most such places in the city. We liked our server, Cielito, who bustled around attentively. The check for the two of us came to $ 79 (which included a somewhat unusual credit card 3% surcharge). I recommend the place to those who enjoy Mexican food.

The champurrado was like a warm hug from my grandma on a cold winter, the guacamole was perfectly made and delicious! The al pastor taco was my favorite out of the 2 tacos I tried. My pozole was also delicious but I prefer mine with a lot of lime ‍ juice in it so I asked for extra limes. My husband said his steak was the best he's had in Rhode Island. My husband ended his meal with cafe de la Hoya which is always good no matter what time of day! Very chill environment with a great view of the dog park!

There is no menu so you don't know what the bill will be until you get to the register. Communication was definitely an issue since they do not speak much, if any, English. I ordered a plate that incorporated almost everything that they had in the buffet...beef, goat, chicken, and things I don't even know what it was (one of each)? The food was good and I think the chicken wings were probably the best tasting item in the buffet. The meat they use isn't the best quality, but they do a great job with it. My plate was $16.00 The bartender did not know any English so she handed her phone over so we could communicate. She said the best drink she makes is a margarita so I was in and it did not disappoint. $15.00 Overall, I probably wouldn't go back, but I'm glad I had the experience. Everyone was nice and tried the best they could to accommodate me.
