You can tell a lot about a Mexican restaurant based off their chips and salsa. Their salsa was no basic rojo or verde salsa. It was perfect: not too spicy but just enough kick to keep me wanting to dip my chips for more. My wife, our 8 month old babygirl, and I felt welcomed by the owner. He provided great service and was very attentive. We ordered the Tinga taquitos and the trio taco platter. The tinga had a lot of flavor as well as the asada from the trio tacos. We came hungry and left very satisfied. We will definitely be coming to try out their breakfast menu. read more

So sad...I was expecting so much more. I ordered- Chicken soup- this did not have a lot of flavor and they had meat on the bone thrown in the soup. Shredded meat would have made it easier to eat. Tortillas were average. Side of guac was just OK not a lot of flavor and chips were stale. Will not return. read more

Our first time visiting here. The restaurant is clean, the music is not too loud, there are two televisions, and the decor is really nice. The bathrooms were very clean too. The food was really good too. First, their salsa for the chips was exceptionally GOOD!! not the typical tomato, onion and chile. We ordered fried mojarra al mojo de ajo with a special request for it not to be too crunchy or over fried and my husband devoured it. I ordered the chile relleno dinner plate and it was really good. I wasn't sure why it had jalapeños on it. I just moved them to the side. Their home made limón con pepino drink was delicious, it wasn't too sweet, it was perfect. My husband liked his michelada. I had never seen him ask for one. The reason they get 4 stars is the more than 45 minute wait. read more

I've been here three times now. The first two visits were delicious and the third was not that great. My first visit I ordered menudo with pata and it was great. The caldo was rich, hominy was tasty and the meat was tender without any weird smell. Second visit I ordered green enchiladas. I had a chicken and a cheese. Those were really tasty and cheesy. The chicken was moist. The beans on that plate were just okay but the rice was wonderful; it had a lemony little punch and well seasoned. My third visit was an order of chicken nachos ... ugh... man I was excited for those but they were very very dry. It was a mound of tortilla chips with the typical toppings and chicken but they desperately needed some kind of salsa, or queso sauce, or something. I used the complimentary salsa they serve at the start but it was like ... I was kinda tired of that flavor lol because I was eating it when I got there. Over all, the service has been fair. My first visit the server was a little dry and seemed a little avoidant. The other two was a younger guy and he was more attentive and taking care of all the customers. Oh! I also had their lemon agua fresca and it was very good. read more

La Paloma Grill - Chilaquiles con Huevo, and Menudo. - Mexican Near Me - Montebello, California

I would give it a better rating but this place can't get it together with the opening and closing times. Some days 9am some days 10am some days closed other days open. They have a sign that says the time. BUT they never follow it. It's annoying when you invite someone for breakfast and it's closed and won't open for another hour when it clearly says 9am. This has happened to us a few times read more

Third time here. Excellent service. Everything here is delicious. Food arrives hot, (a must for me). Inquired about the menudo and server gave us some to try. It was very good. Will continue to return. read more

My girlfriend and I are going to different places to eat around town. Today we stopped here for lunch, 12:30. We parked in the back private lot. No one was in the restaurant and it remained that way the whole time we were there. We ordered the aquachili shrimp appetizer and the green cheese enchiladas. Both were very good. Next time we will try the breakfast food. Give this place a try. read more

Great service. Great food. Overall great experience. I got the bistec ranchero and I recommend it!

I tried their aguachile tostada and I can tell you it was delicious! We also ordered their mole and shrimp with their house sauce. It was not busy when we got there. The gentle men that was there was very polite and very attentive. The restaurant is very clean and nice to be honest. They do have limited parking in the back. (There is also street parking) read more

SO GOOD! Salsa is amazing. Chile verde is amazing. Tacos are amazing. Highly recommended!

Best Menudo I've Ever Bought! Aside from my family's menudo, this is the best I've had. The only thing they're missing is the tortillas hechas a mano. Also wish their take out portion was as big as the dine in portion. They still get 5 stars in my book. They're chilaquiles are delicious. Both the green and red. I've seen other reviews complaining about bad service. NEVER! I've been here a few times and they've always made me feel welcomed. Yes, they might be short staffed. But, nowadays everyone is short staffed. The great service makes up for waiting just a bit longer. read more

I was randomly browsing through restaurants in the area and I discovered an interesting dish called molcajete. I'd never had molcajete before, and I've only eaten cactus once ever. I searched for various restaurants that serve molcajete in the area, and I decided to go to this restaurant in Montebello. It's a small, cozy hole in the wall restaurant, with ample distancing between tables for safety. They have complimentary nachos with salsa, and on Saturdays they have a special deal for 2 mimosas for the price of one, which we ordered. I ordered the land and sea molcajete for one to share with my wife, with the intent of ordering more dishes if that dish alone was not enough. The portion size, even for one, was quite generous. We loved the nopal, and it was quite buttery and delicious. The jalapenos added a kick without being overpowering. The steak, chorizo, chicken, and giant pieces of shrimp were all amazing. It also went great with the mimosas. Service was friendly, and the food was absolutely amazing. Probably my new favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. read more

Happened to be in the area and hadn't had lunch so googled mexican restaurants in the area and this one popped up. I ordered a carne asada quesadilla and it was ok (too much meat for my tastes). Definitely not worth 11.95. BFF ordered chicken mole and he automatically thought it would be white meat (got a thigh and a drumstick). His plate came with rice and beans and he didn't care for it. Chips and some spicy salsa are served complimentary and the salsa was pretty good. He ordered the mango margarita with a Tajin rim (on the rocks not frozen) and I had a regular margarita (stated as lemon on the menu). Both were tasty. Total bill was 48 bucks for the both of us which was not a good value for the amount of food we got. Service was good though but there were only three tables occupied including us. read more

Cute spot. Looks like it's been updated which is nice. Parking isn't the best because it's on the busy street. Very clean. I got 2 free mimosas for Mother's Day! We got the shrimp tacos and chili verde burrito. Tacos were good. There was a spice that gave it a nice kick. The burrito was literally a stuffed pepper with beans and rice. Never seen that before. We got chips n salsa- that salsa was I'd go back when I'm in MTB read more

I ordered a burrito, it came out to $13, I don't mind paying for quality when it comes to food but the quality here was missing. The burrito was small, barely had any meat in it and it was salty to top it off. Hands down don't recommended this spot. Service was fine, I ordered quick and easy but the food was wack. I thought for $13 it would at least have ranchera meat, nah it didn't. read more

My and my roommate's, caretaker, first time here! We were not dissasisfied! I had their Taco Trio dorado. (Fried taco shell.) My roommate had their wet chicken burrito. They also serve complimentary, chips with a mild cheese chili sauce, very mild. All was great! The chips and sauce, my tacos, and my roommate's burrito! The price is just right! read more

The food selection is minimal for a buffet, not worth the price for a buffet and limited selection for all main entrees, salads or desserts. The good thing is the hand made tortillas and pancakes upon request. Live mariachi is very loud for the small space. However the Mariachi sang very well. read more

Best Mexican restaurant in Whittier. And it wasn't because I was starving. A beautiful wet asada burrito was huge and immensely delicious. Yup i ate the whole thing like a happy little piggy. My friend got the caldo de res dish. He said that he really enjoyed his soup and would definitely get it again. Didn't mind the wait since the quality of the food was appetizing and flavorable. Love the modern design of the interior that definitely gives a great first impression. And of course one mustn't leave out the fantastic service. Definitely will return if I'm in the area read more

The food was quite outstanding. Very delicious, elevated Mexican / El Salvadorian cuisine. Very very clean restaurant. Excellent ingredients and taste. I had the Tues special (3 tacos for $7.50, normally $8.95). - The portions were generous - Meat and filling amounts were plentiful - Chicken tasted the best, mushroom cheese was great too - The beef was a little chewy, not my fave - Asked for more pico de gallo, it also was delish I didn't know what kind of agua fresca I wanted to order and asked for a taste. - Got the lemonade and jamaica - Jamaica was the best - Refills are an extra $.75 but so worth it Also ordered their plantains for $3.50. - I thought it was going to be just the fried bananas - They brought out a beautiful presentation with Mexican crema in the center and condensed milk for dipping - I have never had it that way - THE BEST experience and taste for plantains in my life! Their free salsa and chips are so great! - Salsa was so good had to get a refill Service is solid, kind. I got everything I needed. The one minor element was the drinking water. Tasted like TAP water not filtered. Oh well. Other than that, a wonderful experience overall. read more

We got the green chilaquiles w carne and let me tell you how fresh and delicious it was. The salsa was full of flavor bot too spicy but just right to be able to enjoy it and indulge alongside an over easy egg i cannot describe the perfect combo in words. Every bite was a delight. Try out the micheladas as well their mix is delicious not tomatoey but more flavorful and full of life w a corona nice and cold typically I'm very judgemental when it comes to micheladas but palomas grill nails it. Not too spicy not too tomotoey or dry and bitter it was actually very refreshing. Anyways go and try it out for yourself. read more
