My favorite local restaurant for over 25 years. Makes a Californian feel at home here in Quincy MA. I never miss ordering the Chili con Queso cheese appetizer

First off I would like to say I have eaten here a few times before I wrote this. The reason why I return is because I have to say that the margaritas are to die for! By far the BEST margarita I have ever had! That being said that is the one and only reason I return. I ate here... More

We have been going to La Paloma since it opened when, if you wanted a beer with your meal, they sent you down the block to the liquor store to get it. Have never had a meal that wasn't the best tasting and enjoyable. The wait staff knows the menu and if you do not like hot they can recommend... More

Delicious authentic mexican food. Everything here is good. You can't go wront. Drinks and desserts are amazing. Waitstaff is friendly and efficient. One of the owners is usually present, at least on the weekends, and they are very friendly and care about their customers. Great place for dinner and drinks with friends!

I live in the area and whenever I'm in the mood for a delicious enchilada, a refreshing margarita, and a relaxing meal, I always go to La Paloma. The prices are reasonable, the restaurant is cozy, and it always feels like a fun fiesta when I go there! There is a cute, little bar and an adjoining enclave where you... More

La Paloma of Quincy is our favorite local Mexican restaurant. My wife and I have been dining there since 1998, and we still love it. The dining room is small and cozy, but not cramped, the staff is friendly, and the food is superb. I almost always order Enchiladas Mole with rice and beans, and have flan for dessert. The... More

Atmosphere has changed little in almost 20 years so even though the decore is dusty the food is consistent and good. Very filling. Salsa is very yummy with warm chips served before you order. Could use a bigger bar and more tables. If you like food with a home cooked comfort feel then this is a good place.

My wife and I make a point of eating at Mexican restaurants whenever we travel across the country, & La Paloma in Quincy (& now Kingston) MA is STILL our all-time favorite Mexican dining experience. Specifically, there are two items on the menu that we just have to have whenever we eat here. FIrst of all, the Salsa here is... More

I love Mexican food and consider myself a bit of an expert on it. I've traveled to the heart of Mexico nine times. Not the tourist places but with the people. I've eaten in many a restaurant in Mexico. While there's little in the the Northeast U.S. to compare with the authentic food of Cuernavaca or Tepotzlan in Mexico, LaPaloma... More
