    Another nice dinner at Palomino -- though it has gotten more popular ... so we do not feel as welcome as we used to ... just part of evolution I guess. We used to come often when Elyse was serving -- but not as much now. That said - great place to eat (though I think the OpenTable system sucks ... but that is not an issue for Palomino -- I plan to do resservations directly versus using OpenTable)

    Restaurant was very good, but the dishes were fairly standard. Always looking for something more adventure some. Margaritas were great though!

    Always love coming to Palominos. Food is great, delicious and the kids love it too. I feel like they changed their margarita glasses? It seemed smaller - but still delicious. Great service.

    The restaurant was a lot busier than normal for this time of day. I think they may have been a little short handed for this early around dinner time. Service was slower than normal, but no other issues.

    Server was wonderful. Carnitas was tender. Chip’s definitely not made in house and rice seemed as if it was sitting for a while…or possibly old. Not what I was hoping for …especially for price

    Food is ok here. But my group used to go here mostly for the margaritas. Haven’t been here for a while until yesterday, and all of us got different margaritas. They were so bad that every one of us ordered beer and wine for the next drink. Very weird to order wine at a Mexican restaurant, especially after having a marg. But that’s how bad they have become. With all the Mexican restaurant options, it’ll be hard for me to want to go back. Sad since the restaurant ambiance is one of the nicest ones

    We made a reservation for a 5:30 dinner on New Years Eve. We were pleasantly surprised to have our choice of seats, great service, and great food! We sat in the bar area and the atmosphere was very pleasant. We ate, watched football and got done in plenty of time to catch a 7:15 movie. Great evening!

    Four of us dined at Palomino after the CSU football game on Saturday, 11-18-23. It was our first visit to Palomino and overall, it was wonderful! However, my dinner, the tostada grande had great flavor but was not hot (temperature) when served.

    Always a pleasure eating here! We sat in a bar booth table this time (normally we’re in the regular room) and it was great! The service was quick, food was delicious (although the fajitas seemed smaller than in the past - and tortillas were in foil and not warmers?) We love Palominos and come often! They have a great drink selection and delicious chips and salsa!

    Food was great as usual! Service was good; though we were never asked if we wanted soft drink refills, additional margaritas or beer. Half-heartedly attentive. We will be back though - their take on Mexican is unique and always good.

    Great lunch venue for our group Taco Tuesday. However, disappointed to hear that they will no longer have the free refills of Chips and salsa that only the first bowl will be free.
