First time at La Paloma on a random Thursday evening. I called in for pick up a super carnitas nachos. I really couldn't hear the lady with the background noise. The order was ready within 10 minutes. The to go box is small but it was packed to the top. For 13 bucks, it's a good deal. The carnitas were crispy and flavorful. The toppings were plentiful. Definitely will be back soon to try other items. Street parking. read more

La Paloma - Super carnitas nachos - Mexican Near Me - San Bruno, California

Small taqueria in San Bruno that I would've never considered going to. Prices are really low which is a plus. Service is pretty fast and the staff are friendly. The chips were good and really crunchy. Not too thick and not too thin. Salsa is a bit spicy. My carne asada buritto had that spicy salsa. I omitted the lettuce and beans. I wish I had read the menu a little more thoroughly to omit the salsa as well. Overall food was good. I would come back. Parking wasn't bad which I was suprised since it's San Mateo Ave. and parking is usually pretty challenging here. read more

La Paloma's taco salad $12.25 is listed under appetizers as tostada compuesta. This was a good taco salad. My meat choice was grilled chicken. My only complaint is that there wasn't that much lettuce in the taco salad. The taco shell was freshly fried and very tasty. They were busy with a lot of to-go orders at around 7:30pm. By the time I left at around 8:15pm, the restaurant was mostly empty. Service was fine. read more

Solid local taqueria! Plenty of seats and tvs with the fútbol games on. Thin crispy chips and the house salsa actually has a great kick to it. Been here a few times but these are my absolute fav: +carnitas: my preteen likes the two taco plate with rice and beans. Basics are great. Carnitas are porky. Best part: hand made tortillas!! SO good. The tacos have a surprisingly hefty amount of meat, more than any place I've ever seen. Super good +carne en su jugo: SO good. Not on the menu but was written on the wall as a special. I love this soup/stew with tender bite size chunks of beef, whole beans, a very savory saucy soup with tomatillos in it. Add in all the side toppings of onions, cilantro, radishes, and a squiggle of the smoky spicy hot sauce, and scoop it up with torn pieces of house made tortilla. Heaven on a blustery cold San Bruno evening. No seasonal fruity agua fresca but they always have tamarindo, horchata, and jamaica. Our family likes the jamaica, which is a great sweet tart complement to the porky fattiness of the carnitas. The free refill (1 refill) is a really nice plus! read more

The food is okay. It can be spicy and it is served with radish. The service is fast and good. Carnitas are good and crispy. It's pretty gas (good). Perfect for families after going to the beach. Small nice restaurants good salsa too. Pico is good but there's no jalapeño. read more

The service is awful. The waitresses are very rude and have bad tempers every time we've been there. I've been a customer for many years since I was a little girl and since they changed managers, the experience has been terrible. Today we went in and since I am on a diet I brought in a salad to enjoy with my family and we were very rudely asked to leave.. I've never ever brought outside food and I totally understand having policies but after coming here so many years at least have the decency to politely let me know. I proceeded to let the manager know about the treatment from the waitress and the waitress was right next to me rolling her eyes while the manager spoke. I honestly can't believe how unprofessional everything was handled. read more

The staff here is the best is town! Hard work and friendly! Try the Verde, best I've had. read more

What a gem! We called for a larger table about 30 min before we showed up and they held a table for us. The service is great it's a casual restaurant a local joint and the food is delicious. The value was really good and everything we had was really good. We had super nachos for the table which we all gobbled up and then I had a taco and enchilada combo plate. I enjoyed the carnitas in my taco and I think I will stick with that next time and maybe try the lengua. I had a beef enchilada and though it was also good I still like the carnitas more. Overall a solid place but parking isn't as great it took a while to find a space but other than parking it is really a great place to go! read more

Stopped here before taking a flight home from SFO and omg the food was so good and the service was great. Very reasonably priced as well. Will return. read more

Always a great meal. The sopes are amazing. Always consistent and at a great price point.

Great food and decent prices and service. I haven't eaten there, but I have had takeout a few times.

This place was so good! We were in town for work and craving Mexican food. This is the only place that was opened past 8 in the area we were in and I'm so glad we stopped by. There was only one server, but she was HUSTLING! We could immediately tell they were running a well oiled machine with the way they were communicating. The food was delicious. We both finished everything on our plate. The flan was bombbb. The inside of the restaurant was quaint, clean, and calm. 10/10 would be back if we're in town. Ooohh the chips and salsa, also good. Watch out for the salsa. It was spicy! read more

I placed a phone order for pickup around 4:15 PM, and the process was super easy. When I arrived, the restaurant was clean and well-kept, which is always a good sign. I ordered the asada fries (not on the menu- but they can make it), and I'd give it a 5 out of 10. They had potential, but the cheese just wasn't hitting, and they could've been a bit more generous with the meat. read more

La Paloma - Super Carne Asada fries (ordered for pick up). This not on the menu but they are able to make it. - Mexican Near Me - San Bruno, California

We came from Los Angeles so it was our first time here. It was a 10 minute walk from our hotel. We were able to sit anywhere. Right as we sat they brought up chips and salsa and the menus. We took a few minutes to think about it and then we ordered. Drinks came out very fast. The super nachos took about a 5 minute wait to bring out. We finished them right as our main dishes came. The regular burrito, super burrito, and the supreme cocktail were very delicious and filling. The prices were fair for the amount of food. It did not feel stingy. Our drinks also had one free refill. We got our leftovers to go and were given to go bags and some mints. The service was quick and very friendly. The restrooms were fairly clean. The restaurant had some art and paintings which were very beautiful. Overall it was a great experience and if we're ever back in the area it is a good spot to visit. read more

despite my rating of my experience for today, i still recommend this place!!; and they are worth it!!! way better than my experience at Araujo's Restaurant the last time i was there, and i'm never going back unless its my last resort!!! i have been to this many times, and have had a great experience; but today fell flat on so many levels!! the food came fast as yummy/delicious as usual, and yes they were busy; but it felt like they were ignoring me or forgetting things like i asked for the check and it took like 30-hr that i had to ask again. generally their food and experience is a 5 stars, but today i could only give them a 3 out of 5!! i hope next time, i will get my usual experience!!! service: 1.5/5 ambiance: 5/5 food: 5/5 overall experience: 4/5 despite the problems 15.5/20 = a passing C read more

I have been going to this restaurant for years. Today the service and food was terrible. My husband and I ordered Chile rellenos when we got our food the order was wrong we returned it when we got it the beans were spoiled and the Chile rellenos had a bad taste. One of the waitress told us that the food was good it was just that we came with a bad mood! Unbelievable. Ana Doris read more

Wow! I was in the area and was looking for a new restaurant to try out. So glad my parents and I stopped here! We ordered a small menudo. It was a 8/10 broth wasn't too watered down. My dad ordered the shrimp soup (caldo de camarón) and the broth was perfect! Good amount of shrimp and right amount of veggies. I got the chile relleno, chile verde combo and was close to licking the plate. Portions were great, the horchata could use some more cinnamon or vanilla extract. As soon as we got there we were greeted by the waitress and had a tray of chips and salsa. TVs were playing a soccer game, volume was just right. Would definitely recommend this restaurant and can't wait to come again! read more

Good service and pretty good sized portions for burritos and enchiladas. My biggest complaint was the horchata. Barely flavored and full of ice. This shouldn't be a problem for a Mexican restaurant. read more

Service was great, food was good and not so great. Our "taquitos" were way over dry. The fish was very good

Portions are great. I like the enchiladas, rice, and beans. The sope was a little tough but I like that they put a lot of meat on top. Food came out fast. read more

Nice quaint Mexican eatery. Reasonable pricing, good portions, and a humble atmosphere. This place makes al pastor like no other. My favorite spot for tacos al pastor. A little bit drier and charred more than other places I've tried which leads to a super satisfying chew to their tacos. The other menu items hold their weight as well but aren't particularly distinguished from other places. read more

Good authentic Mexican food, attentive service, pleasant waitresses, but a typical looking dining room. Just need more festive decorations to spruce up the restaurant atmosphere to match the good food and service. read more

Met up with the in-laws here during a layover at SFO. Food was fantastic! We ordered carnitas enchiladas, fish and shrimp tacos, and ham omelets, and everybody was very satisfied. You know it's good when the place is already buzzing at 10:30 -- every table was occupied. read more

I love Cleo and Marian. They are so hardworking and very personable. I love the burritos and the food in general here is very high quality. The price is more reasonable here than any other Mexican food place I know of in the Peninsula Bay Area. The ambiance inside the restaurant is very nice and perfect. It's not super fancy but it is clean and the tables and chairs are ergonomically a good height- so that is comfortable to eat inside the restaurant. Also the chairs are cushioned... not just hard wood chairs... so it feels good to sit for a bit and eat your food. The service is always so good... mainly because of the waitresses that are so thoughtful and attentive... (Cleo and Marian that is.) One drawback... is that there is NO outdoor seating... and also this restaurant is not dog friendly :(. Hope this review has been helpful :)! You should Come check out "La Paloma" restaurant here in San Bruno :). read more

Good size portions and delicious! Nicely prepared ensalada fajita de pollo and pollo asado tacos. My wife and I had our favorites and because of difficult street side parking, this can be good take-out type dining. read more

Located at the end of the main street this is one of the better Mexican restaurants in the area. Serving up traditional dishes with flavors that can't be beat. There is indoor seating that gets filled at peak hours but they also do alot of take out orders. For fresh food with flavors of home make a stop here. read more
