There’s nothing quite like Paloma Taco + Tequila with its vibrant, convivial atmosphere and menu of unique takes on tacos, tortas, burritos and a menu of inventive cocktails – from infused palomas and margaritas to pina coladas, mojitos and more – to enjoy alongside.
Among the highlights are Paloma’s “taco pockets”, a delicious take on the infamous crunch wrap featuring a toasted burrito-sized tortilla stuffed with a housemade tostada shell and filled with Chihuahua cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, cilantro, elote crema and a choice of proteins, from “gringo beef” to carnitas and crispy tofu.
But you'll also find a fine selection of tacos, burritos, quesadillas and delicious housemade birria served on tortillas with chihuahua cheese, onion, cilantro and consomme for dipping.
Both locations are popular stops, so expect a wait, especially if you’re with a group.
