    Chips and the trio (guacamole, queso and salsa)! You get free refills of salsa and queso if you order the trio!
    Sarah K.

    The tacos were delicious! However did not love the chips as they were thicker than normal but paired with the guacamole was a great combination. When you walk in, you order food at one counter and drinks at another. Easy order process and great for big groups as you can pay for your own bill. Huge outdoor space but was too hot to sit outside! I got the prickly pear margarita- it was good but extra sweet. The color made my picture very pretty.

    We came here for the Sangria deal for Brunch on a Saturday! I will say Paloma was not too packed when it first opened, then a lot of people started coming in. The Sangria was good, because it's not many places in Athens that do Sangria pitchers. I've definitely had better. Our server was very nice and even provided recommendations when the Philly Cheesesteak Roll that we wanted, wasn't available. For food, it wasn't many brunch options on the menu. We ended up getting the pretzel bites and the wings, which were good snacks. I wish they had better brunch food. Right now they are changing up the menu, so I hope the visit to try out more things.

    I finally got around to trying Paloma Park, and I'm glad I did. This is notwithstanding the fact I stopped in around Noon on a Saturday during UGA parents weekend. It was busy and kept getting busier. The place is cavernous with two very sizable dinning rooms plus a sizable outdoor seating area. It features numerous flat screens for watching sports. Go Dawgs. Being solo this visit, I chose to sit at the bar. It was a good choice. Right above the bar was a huge flat screen showing the UGA home basketball game. The bartender was on a ball. What about the food? One of the best tacos I've ever had in my life was the Brisket taco in a flour tortilla. You can chose corn, but for this one I thought flour would be best. If you order this and don't like it, I don't know what to say. The shrimp taco, on the other hand, was underwhelming. If I recall correctly, the prices were $5.00 each, which is very reasonable for the quality of the tacos, which I would say are generously portioned. Two of them were enough to fill me up at lunchtime. For food, the drill you go to the food counter to place your order and pay. They give you a number on a stick so the food runners can see it to deliver your order. It works. The service was great. Friendly and on the ball all the way around is the best way for me to describe it. It's full bar so all of your booze groups are covered. I washed my meal down with a Creature Comforts Tropicalia as one does. Cheers.

    Paloma Park is the best and if not, one of the best bars/restaurants in Athens. They have a crafty menu with delicious food and authentic drinks. I had the PB&J margarita last night and it was nothing like anything I've had before. It was perfect! My friend, also noticed their pickle margarita on the menu which I'm sure some would love, but personally I'm not a pickle fan so I didn't order it. Our bartender was very kind and let us know that she would be around to help us the rest of the night, regardless of where we were in their huge facility. There was trivia going on when we were there which looked like tons of fun, but we showed up towards the end of it so we didn't join in this time. Paloma's always seems to be having fun events like trivia and specials for their customers which is why it's so loved by the Athens community. I also have to mention how fun the atmosphere and vibes are of the whole restaurant. They often have live music outside and tons of seating for large crowds. I will definitely be here again soon!

    I have nothing bad to say about this place! Came here as a spontaneous girls late lunch and was pleasantly surprised. I will say, their food menu is not that exhaustive which I don't find an issue. Their drink menu is the opposite so this would be perfect for a light eat/drink spot. The price point for drinks is about $12/13 which I say is averagely priced. I ordered the Princess Peach and was a little disappointed that it didn't come with the peach ring, but the drink was still good nonetheless. It wasn't too sweet, so if you're into sweet drinks I'd probably try something else. I ordered the spring rolls and the shrimp tacos and they were soo good. Very filling, I ended up having to take two tacos to go. I would definitely order the shrimp tacos again. I'm venturing into the pescatarian world so I was glad that they had this as an option. Overall, this was a great place and I'd definitely come back to try out more drinks!

    A recommendation from Will from their other location down the road (which we love too) this place is very large !!! The space is gigantic! Theres a front area with a bar and tables and waitresses (we had bella) the back area has couches and lounge area with a few bars and a gigantic outside area! Theres also another outside area right out from with tables. The space is endless. The food is delicious and i enjoyed a strawberry salad! It had candied walnuts strawberries and fresh greens and i asked for a balsamic vinaigrette! Absolutely delightful! Great staff very friendly good service all around! This space is immaculate and they do host events here! Beautiful space!

    Paloma Park is one of the best bars and restaurants in Athens. They have so many daily specials and I love going there for brunch. The Sunday chicken fires are awesome and I highly recommend them. Also I tried the nachos and pretzel bites are BUSSIN'. Service is very attentive and friendly staff. Overall 10/10

However, the waitress acknowledged the wait before I even had to mention it and made things right. I really appreciate that kind of proactive service. We're all human, and they handled the situation very professionally.
