   I’ve never left a food review before, but my experience at Palominos has finally compelled me to do so. My girlfriend ordered a Filet Mignon with mushrooms and sauce on the side. The first plate arrived with the mushrooms smothered all over the steak instead. We sent it back, only to receive a replacement that was completely undercooked—blue rare instead of well-done. As for my meal, I ordered a skirt steak medium, but what I got was well-done and dry. The flavor was severely lacking—not just in the steaks but also in the potatoes. Everything was disappointingly bland. The ambiance was nice, but the food did not match the setting. Palominos needs to reconsider its kitchen staff because the quality is simply not there.

   Excellent service, small portions. Food was nothing to write home about. I ordered tacos which were two small tacos for $18. Service however was great. They’re professional, hospitable and attentive. Just don’t go here hungry!

   The food is very good and creative. The service from the waitress was excellent however they overbook the tables and we had to wait 30 min to be seated. The food also took long .
