My mom comes here all the time and loves this place, so when we were in the area again, I thought to give Palominos a try. Complimentary chips and salsa were great. The salsa was just right and not overly spicy. Crispy Carnita Enchiladas. The plate was well presented and the majority of it was good, other than the meat, which was quite dry and there wasn't enough of it. The serving sizes and price points were just right and the service was good. read more

My name is Arvin Mercado (720)323-8983. I am Roof Sales Consultant for Jenkins Construction. We were just randomly passing by after our appointment and saw this restaurant. The 3.0 online review was not consistent to the level of service provided by the Manager and Joseph (server). The food was absolute delish. I am still savoring the after taste of my Carner Asada! I would definitely be back here again and would recommend this to my friends and family. read more

Staff is always informed and very helpful. The NACHO's are AMAZING and should NOT be missed.

I've been here often and have never had an issue. I would be embarrassed to send this out of a kitchen. But apparently neither cook nor server saw an issue. Its not even a sopapilla, much less "stuffed." read more

Don't order the shrimp fajitas! Smallest shrimp i have ever seen and OVERLOADED with onions! Went there is week - there was exactly one slice of green pepper , one slice of red, and i bet an entire onion. Super disappointed - esp when paying more for shrimp (that were maybe the size of a nickel) . read more

Service was great today!! There were some " supply chain" issues and there was no cucumber for the drinks?? Oh well, we survived. The appetizer was good ( bean chili cheese dip) but we had several smashed chips to dip with. The meal came out fast, and the quality was good. read more

The burrito I ordered was tiny, horrible and not worth $15. A burrito the same size at Taco Bell is only $4. There was hardly any steak. Only one person was seating, serving and taking checks, while tending bar. read more

Second time ordering food from Palomino. I now know better, I will not order from here again. We ordered two family meals each are supposed to feed a family of four and received only 4 tortilla shells to go with our meals. How does that work?? On top of that there was a bug in one of her meals. They didn't get it right the first time and they absolutely failed the second time. read more

The waiter named Tyrese was amazing. He was kind and very helpful. He made us laugh and answered all of our questions. He knows the menu very well and made great suggestions. All waiters should strive to be more like Tyrese! read more

The food was not authentic. There main clientele were older (70-80) ladies and I think the food is geared to them. We always take our left overs and we did not today. read more

We absolutely love this place. The food is good, the service is good, and there's a nice ambiance whether we're dining as a family or put on a date. read more

I ordered the shredded beef blue-corn enchiladas plate for dinner in June 2022, and I found them to be sub-par. It was almost $20 by the way. It was a disappointing experience, and I didn't go back. read more

Total meltdown. We stopped in here on a Saturday evening at 530pm before the Toby Keith concert. Crowded, 30 minute wait but not a shocker. Found a couple seats at the bar and ordered drinks from "Katie" and she was on it. Drinks were fast and strong. Even though it was crowded she was bouncing around the place. We ordered some nachos from Katie but all of a sudden we found a booth open at the bar so we grabbed it and closed out with Katie and told her to send them over to our table. It's 6pm. Our waitress clears our table and we tell her about bringing the nachos and order a margarita and a Jack n coke. 615 brings us chips and salsa, no silverware no nachos. 630 still no nachos and no drinks... waitress apologizes takes our dinner order and says she's busy. 640 nachos arrive but still no drinks and no silverware but we've been waiting 40 minutes so we eat with hands... I get up go to the bar and fish my own silverware out of a bin. Come back, still no drinks. 700pm food arrives no drinks we ask waitress she goes to bar and gets drinks and brings them to us. 725 we are late to concert, pay and leave after a COMPLETELY DISAPPOINTING meal. The only person who knows what they are doing in the place is Katie the bartender. Thank you Katie for having your $hit together. Maybe you could replace Jen Psaki and help the White House handle some of their problems too. read more

Taco salad and nachos are a 1 at best. Definitely disappointed with this order and will find somewhere else to find queso.

I was afraid because the decorative building says, "shoddy corporate fare". But I was impressed my first trip. Even operating under Covid limits this place was great. Good portions, food was delicious. Great menus for drinks, food, and desserts. So many choices on each menu. The poblano cheese sauce was a knock out. Will be returning soon. read more

Food was mediocre for the price.. the reason I will never give them my business again is because we were a party of 6, they brought out salsa and chips for the table only filling the small ramekins a little over half way.. when asked for more were salsa told that if we didn't purchase a appetizer we had to pay for extra salsa. Really? read more

Lack of any covid precautions while still in a pandemic makes me concerned about what other regulations they are not following. This is a hard pass. read more

Service was good but the food came out cold. This seems to be consistent with this restaurant.

This is a truly good Mexican restaurant! Omgosh the service was great and the food was outstanding!!!!

Food was great and Jimmy was even better! We haven't had a server like this in years. Thanks Jimmy! Keep up the good work!

My family loves this restaurant. I personally used to come here frequently with my aunt. She has sadly passed, but she always raved about how awesome the food and staff is. They are great! I would especially like to recognize Brooke, who has waited on my family multiple times as of recently. She is awesome! She is very efficient, very sweet and always has a kind word or short story to share. I appreciate her because she appreciates her customers. Thank you Brooke Thank you all! We will be back!!! Cheers! -CJ (Johnston Family) read more

Ordered to go fajitas and got one green pepper slice and burned onions. In restaurant chips we're all crumbs. Very disappointed. We used to come here every Thursday and sometimes more than once a week. Things have really gone downhill. read more

Did this change owners? Because the food was always good at the palamino but we were there last week and it wasn't. The salsa was starting to ferment and had that tang to it. We usually have 2 cups of the salsa, we didnt eat it at all. I had the tequila lime chicken salad. What a disappointment. Bowl of rubbery old bag lettuce with a slice of tomato, avacado, and a gray looking piece of chicken. I had to ask for the dressing. We'll go again, and maybe they were having an off day. The service was fantastic though. We were at the moot house yesterday in Ft Collins and i had a salad. Fresh, crisp, everything nicely chopped and tossed in a light citrus vinegarette and it was less expensive. read more

Thursday night $2.50 sangria swirls we're definitely worth it! I came with a gal pal as this was both of our first time trying this place out. I had a hard time deciding what to get but ultimately chose the marinated steak, ranchero beans and rice. The steak flavor was pretty good, however the steak was pretty fatty, the means and rice were good. My gal pal ordered the cheesy burrito that had a chili relleno inside, topped with green chili this was also delicious but the green chili was too spicy for her. We did close the place down and do appreciate that no one forced us to leave. Thank you. Overall as a first timer it was a great experience, and will be back again! read more

Ordered a beef and bean sopapilla to go and was told they can't put beans on it. Do you want ground or shredded beef? Oh wait, they can put beans on it. Ground beef please. I got a shredded beef with no beans. Also a meal instead of a sopapilla. And (allegedly) they gouge you with a take out charge for take out. Ixnay on the alomino-pay (But the rice was good). read more

I am So sorry to have to write this. But our favorite place to eat needs some serious help. The wait staff is terrible now. We were there on Sunday afternoon around 4, no customers to speak of. We did get our initial drinks quickly, albeit wrong (salt when we said no salt) ,but no big deal. We ordered appetizers and for easy dips it took about a half hour. Never has that happened before. We were checked on once and a waitress took my water glass, but never returned it. I would have liked more water and another margarita, but no one ever came back. Then we waited for over 20 minutes to get our bill. No one even looked at us. I don't know what is going on there, but we may not come back. Your staff definitely needs more extensive training. read more

Greeley is becoming booming town due to natural gas fraking in the plains states. But like a lot of distant suburbs, it can be hard to find something to eat that's not a mega chain. Sorry, but Yelp is weak when it comes to these parts of the world. I selected Palomino because it was close and had good Yelp reviews. Its a local chain but billed as not your normal Mexican place where they just slop a pile of refried beans next to ground beef enchiladas covered in industrial strength ranchero sauce. They market themselves as an always fresh ingredient, homemade recipe place. Hey, sure beats the Golden Corral for dinner. First things first, chips were stale and cold. I don't eat chips, so this was only cognitively disappointing. Got one of their especialidades, Caribe Picado - shrimp, lobster and crab sauteed in butter with chili, etc. Had them thrown in some jalapenos. After ordering, it arrived quicker and hotter than a Grande Latte at starbucks. Food that comes this prematurely, is usually worrisome. Bad Spanglish aside, it was OK. The shrimp were those tiny ones that are always on sale for two bucks a pound at Safeway. Was it Crab or Krab? The meat was kinda soggy. Kinda like it had been sitting around for a while then nuked. Also had the chili verde soup. Was very good. Had it with their special spicy green chili sauce, which was a little watery and not too spicy. Probably should of just had this instead. I think I might give them another chance. Some other stuff their looked pretty good .T hat or seek more local word-of-mouth recommendations instead of relying on Yelp. read more

This was some of the worst food I've ever had, if you can call it that. I have absolutely no idea how anyone thinks this is good Mexican food. The salsa tasted more like spicy marinara sauce. The chili con queso was blah. The rice was cold. The entrees were disgusting. The shredded chicken looked and tasted funky and not in a good way. For what we paid, the food should have been a million times better. It's way overpriced. Who charges $1.59 for a side of sour cream?! Never going there again and I advise anyone else to reconsider too. If there were negative stars, that's what I'd rank them. read more

Stopped by on a Friday evening, busy but not overwhelmed. But really irritated by our server who was obviously more interested in flirting with a pretty diner than doing his job. Ended up cutting the meal short and leaving because this yokel had to be told three times by other severs that his tables needed attention. I don't mind socializing, but when you have four other tables, you need to keep up. And grow up. read more

Normally the food is good, if not exceptional. Prices recently went up,which was not so very welcome The sangria swirls are actually the best thing on the menu. read more

OK, so until the other day I had only been here for the lunch buffet or breakfast burritos. So my interaction with the servers has been limited and the food I've tried had been as well. So, the other day I went in while working through lunch on my laptop and decided to forego the buffet. It was a great idea. First and foremost, my server Ethan was fantastic. Polite, prompt and courteous. He immediately saw I was breaking out the laptop and asked if I needed Wi-Fi. And was very attentive while I was there. And this time instead of the usual lunch buffet I got the chicken chimichanga. It was amazing! One PDF the best I've ever had. Now I can't wait to go back and try some other things that caught my eye. Good job guys. read more

Food was good but worst service ever. Server preferred to stand at the bar, eat and flirt with all the guys there. Had to call her over to take our order and she never returned. We had to call another server over to get refills. First server never returned but continued to eat and flirt the whole time we were there. Thank goodness we didn't judge everything based on her or it would of been negative stars. She needs a refresher on customer service... read more

Overall everything was really good. The tortilla soup and the enchiladas I had were tasty, along with some well made Mexican rice and beans. Could easily be 5 stars, but the chips were obviously store bought, and the server didn't know what kind of beer they had. Other than that she was very attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Oh, and the salsa had good flavor but could use a bit more of a kick. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the area. read more

Palomino Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Evans, Colorado

Not impressed. The only reason for two stars -- the tostado was good. The dessert we ordered was described as 'with vanilla ice cream'. We were served completely melted ice cream -- it wasn't even cold. My sour cream enchilada lacked any sour cream whatsoever. The replacement enchilada subsequently lacked cheese evidently as a slam. Will not return nor will I recommend the Palomino to anyone. read more

Just ordered delivery from The Palimino. The fajitas were amazing. Enjoyed every bite. I can't wait for the lock down to be over so that we can go in and enjoy a meal with some margaritas. Thank you for a delicious meal. read more

This is the second bad experience I have had at this establishment. Tonight I walked in, no one greeted me. There were tables in the bar area. I walked back into the entry way, and two hostesses came in and completely ignored me. I finally asked them if they were seating people or if they were working. They said they never saw me. I asked if we could be seated in the bar, and they said it was full, when it wasn't. I asked for a table, to which they replied would be 30-40 minutes. I also saw open tables, so I left. Four weeks ago I had my family here, in the bar area. Terrible service. The waitress was completely annoyed with with. Shrimp mazatlan was the worst I have ever ordered from palomino. It was cold, gross, the rice was hard, the cheese sauce was curdled, and our rice vs. beans was incorrect. Our bartender that night was Mariah. Everyone was closing the restaurant early at 7pm. All staff was annoyed and Mariah ended up waiting on us, because our waitress was MIA, not to mention completely rude. If bad food and bad service wasn't the absolute fail of this restaurant, their bathroom was. The women's bathroom had smelled like absolute sewage for the last month. Vomit. I have been here three times since the first terrible experience and it just continues to spiral and get worse. If the service and food don't make you vomit, the bathroom most certainly will! I will never come back here again, which is truly sad knowing that this restaurant is part of blue agave and coyotes, which I have supported for years. Completely Unhappy and can No longer tolerate the lack of management. Oh which every staff member blamed, for the current issues. Along with saying the owners were the ones to blame. Let's throw everyone and the owners under the bus??!! If I could give this zero stars I would. read more

Palomino Mexican Restaurant - Curdle cheese sauce= barf! - Mexican Near Me - Evans, Colorado

Family has been coming here regularly since they opened. Foods always good and so are the drinks. Best green chili around in my own opinion. Also the best location and better than Coyotes as far as drink options. They make the blue moon margarita and the cactus margarita for my dad and I only at this location. It's not even on the menu so that's cool. It would be great if they got added back to the menu and to other locations. read more

Kaylie was our server and she was GREAT! Loved the shrimp tacos and the service. Absolutely phenomenal. Highly recommend.

I had previously been to the location in Loveland, and with my father visiting over the weekend, I opted to take him here for an dinner. I was pleased to find that the lighting and general ambience was up to par with the location in Loveland. We were promptly seated and our drink order was quickly taken and delivered. The waitress was also willing to provide me with a separate bowl of chips and salsa because I am fighting a cold and did not want my father to get sick. My dad really enjoyed his pricey margarita, and he normally doesn't drink. Our food came out quickly and we both dug in. I had the Palomino burrito while my father had some dish featuring a poblano cream sauce. Both dishes were very good and my dad is considering purchasing a jar of it to take home with him. Considering the plethora of mexican restaurants in the area, the fact that a chain still manages to be better than the average business says a lot. While there are still some other mexican places I would like to check out, Palominos has become the go-to spot for me in Greeley. read more

Average food that is made to look fancy sums it up for me. Go for the atmosphere. Go elsewhere for better (and cheaper) mexican food. read more
