Had a great lunch at Palominos. The Sinaloense dishes were delicious. I tried the Tacos Minini and the Pechuga Doña Sofía, and both were super flavorful and cooked perfectly. You can really tell they put care into their food. Shoutout to Antonio M, who took awesome care of us. Super attentive and had great recommendations! read more

Stopped in for a work dinner and service and food was excellent. They have a large par with many selections that occasionally we unavailable due to large parties. For an appetizer the guacamole con Ribeye was excellent with fresh tortillas. For dinner I had the filet which was served over potatoes and finally the lotus cheesecake. read more

We were in town for work and had a work dinner here. The waiter was great, friendly and informative. The old fashioned was perfectly made and smoked. Steak was delicious and cooked perfectly. For me personally it was 5/5 stars. However, one of our colleagues had food poisoning all night and next day after eating here. The only thing different he had was ice tea, unsweetened. The restaurant has an odd aroma to it, reminiscent of a plumbing issue. Perhaps the water was contaminated. Another colleague had ice tea as well, took one sip and refused to drink it. I'm not sure I would go back based off all that. read more

Excellent food and excellent service. Our server Jose made the Strawberry Jubilee at our table. The beef was grilled to perfection, tender and delicious. We will definitely return for another meal. read more

We enjoyed our early afternoon Sunday meal at Palominos. We chose this place because the menu looked delicious and they have a kids play area inside the restaurant on Sundays, which kept my little one happy! I recommend you call ahead for a reservation and request a table near the kids area if that is what you need as only 4-5 tables are within view of it. Otherwise, the main room has more tables and better ambience overall. We ordered the aguachile ceniza y fuego, short ribs, grilled veggie side and two cocktails. The cocktails were wonderfully presented and delicious. Not too strong, 8.5/10. The food overall was good 7/10. My favorite were the aguachiles. The short ribs were tasty but came out almost cold and not as soft or flavorful as I would have liked. The service was 10/10, no notes! Everyone was wonderful. The ambiance was fun and lively, upscale. It's not a place for a quite intimate dinner imo. I can't wait to come back here and try more of the menu read more

Decided to go here for our anniversary. Staff were great. Food was delicious and the ambiance was also really nice. They bring out the steak to cut it to size right in front of you. Then add some fancy post searing on certain items. Really interesting touches. Only knock I would have is there were quite a few gnats. Usually happens where cocktails are served with all the fruit but I'm sure there is something that can be done about it. . read more

Service was good but the steak I chose wasn't the best. It was over cooked and a bit tough. Brought it home to feed my dogs very disappointed. read more

great food, and our server was great. the restaurant is gorgeous, and it's a cool vibe. my only complaint is the fact that they make some dishes in front of you. my sister ordered a cesar salad and our waiter spent 20 minutes making it in front of us. when we ordered dessert, another man came and spent another 20 minutes making it in front of us. overall, we spent about 3 and a half hours here, which for a casual dinner felt way too long. read more

For anyone that has been to Sonora, they know how good the food is. Palominos has great steaks and great service. Because it's new it seems they are still working out some of the kinks. The place looks very modern and they offer some very good Sonoran dishes. read more

Came here for Lunch while on a business trip. It was a beautiful and upscale restaurant with very fast service. The food was even better than it looked! read more

The ambience is really nice and the service was outstanding. A little disappointing that they sat us right next to the kitchen on a slow day. Disappointed they couldn't switch out the side. read more

I had high expectations of this place . I'm very harsh on food and especially when you can't get your medium , well done correctly . They pushed the parillada which was over $300 for 3 meats . Total waste of time . You're better off at taco Palenque for skirt steak!. Beautiful place nice atmosphere but food was sub par and the manager didn't do anything to address the problem. Wanted to remake it . But I don't go out to remake food I go out to eat because I'm hungry now I'm just Angry ! Fook this place ! Go to Wine Cow instead. Thank me later ! read more

Bad service and bad food. Even the water tasted funny. Ordered the tuna tostadas, and i would've been better off eating some canned tuna at home. Service was just as bland. Do not recommend eating here read more

We made reservations for our Anniversary on a Saturday. The ambiance is great, service was excellent and the food was great. We were severed an excellent piece of cheesecake on the house. Great place to go just be sure to make reservation. Thank You read more

Seems like a lot of the negative reviews come from white people, disappointed they didn't get the Taco Bell experience..disclaimer..I'm as white as rice and we don't speak Spanish..loved it! Food was amazing, bartender seemed like he didn't speak much English but we made it work, when the waiter needed some help, he got a buddy who spoke better English and we worked it out..Steaks were perfectly cooked, 100% get the guacamole with ribeye! Spicy beans were so good! The only word of caution would be you can easily order too much food. We will be back any time we're in McAllen read more

Had dinner with a friend. We were both pleased with our entrees. It's a little expensive but the portions were a good size with several sides. The server could not have been more attentive. I'm looking forward to introducing more of my friends to this restaurant. read more

The New York WX was very good! Unfortunately the baked potato was undercooked severely, the beer and cheesecake both had way too much lime flavoring. Severs were attentive but there's a definite language barrier. Will probably give it another chance at some point. read more

6 of us went with high hopes. The food was delicious. First impulse was the music was so loud it was hard to chat among ourselves or even hear the servers. I specifically told the server not to bring my main course before I finished my soup. Well he did not, but he brought everyone else their main course. By the time I got my main course everyone was finishing their main course. I do not know why the rush to serve food so fast in such an expensive restaurant. The food portions were very skimpy. We left hungry with big bills. I do not drink and my wife had a glass of wine and no appetizer. Our bill was $112 and we left hungry. We almost stopped to get fast food. We liked the food, did not like the small portions and high prices. We all decided we will not return. read more

Let me just say the service was good and the place is different from anything in the valley BUT the food is not good. First they sat us in a booth where there was nothing to see but a window with curtains. After 20 min of sitting there I wanted to leave. We ordered the meal for 2 people. The salad was iceberg lettuce, nothing special about it. Then the meat was cold, overcooked with a lot of tripitas and very little meat. The meat was cold and tasteless. No flavor whatsoever. The sauces were basic and nothing special. The beer was warm and the Paloma was served in a small glass. Paid $240 for the meal and 2 drinks each. Very uneventful. read more

Being from Sonora, the meat cuts are up to par. Well I can say the ribeye was pretty good and all appetizers were very good. Drinks were good but the service was excellent! Ambiance was great as the music was at a perfect volume and the decor is beautiful. Definitely coming back. No five stars cause the strawberry desert took to long. (But it was amazing). See you again soon! read more
