The food was really good, and everyone enjoyed the cocktails, but the timing of the food was a bit odd — one person received all their food first and had finished it before the next dish came out (about 15 minutes later). It took a good long while for the third person to receive anything they had ordered at all. For the most part it was really only one person eating at the time while the others looked on. I understand that different dishes take different amounts of time to cook but I would usually expect the servers or chefs to time things better.

Food was good but service was very disjointed. Whilst the dishes are designed to share, one arrived at a time, with large time gaps in between, which made it hard for the group to share the food. We also felt a bit pressured to leave, with the table not being booked after us but the bill being given to us without notice.

Paloma is a great wee neighbourhood gem. The food is always really fresh and tasty, with a delightful quirky twist. A great variety of different tacos and every one is worth a try. Really love the whipped feta tostadas, and the crispy capers on the monkfish tacos are a nice addition! All the staff are friendly and attentive. We've visited a few times now and always come away feeling satisfied. Already looking forward to our next visit!

Highly recommend Paloma Tacos, really friendly staff and fun atmosphere! The food was so tasty and surprisingly filling, great cocktails too. My family and I visited for my birthday and we were given complimentary coffee tequila shots which were delicious. My brother is coeliac so the entire gluten-free menu was such a treat for him.
