Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Great location for comfort food for wearied folks from the hospital. Cheese crisp was incredible and beans were also quite good. Grill chef provided chopped fresh jalapeño upon request. There are a few tweaks that would make this a regular stop for me: fix ice machine for soda fountain and liven up salsa bar. Restaurant and restrooms were very clean.

I gave this place a try two times. Both times I've been very disappointed on the quality if the food and their extremely slow service. The food made my tummy ache all day after I returned back to the office. Unfortunately I will no longer return. Sorry la Paloma, I really wanted this to be my near neighborhood Mexican spot

I tried and I tried. Really, I gave this place four or five tries to get it right but it just wasn't happening for me. The people are friendly, and that's, unfortunately, about it. The food is really greasy and tastes just like any other filibertos or rolibertos place (bad). The horchata is made from powder and it tastes really off. I tried the albondigas and took them back to my office for lunch and the rice was still hard inside the meatballs so I ate a few and then threw the rest away. This kind of stuff just kept happening and I was never satisfied so I just gave up. There are plenty of good Mexican food places around town to pick from. No need to settle!

This place is amazing and everyone is very friendly at this family owned establishment. I enjoy all the food but especially like the Carne Asada plate. Very reasonably priced as well.

Went here for lunch. Really nice staff (young girl taking order and serving). Food is very good, not great. Excellent prices and is authentic not like BS places like Ajo Al's. Nice family owned place

Dirty restaurant with an overwhelming smell of grease in the air, gross food and slow service.

I really like the food here. Usually get the crispy beef tacos, rice and beans. Tacos are a little small but really good. Got a red tamale once, and it tasted good, but was a little hard and stale like it had been sitting around for awhile. I want to say a little pricey but the only thing that's cheaper is like a filibertos type place and this is better food than those have. Always have had good customer service.

Nothing special here just over priced Mexican food. Got two breakfast burritos and paid $15.00.

Food is reallyyy good - I always get the cheese enchilada (and I hate enchiladas) with a beef taco, and the fish tacos are AWESOME too. They deliver really quickly. Side note: if you get it delivered, have exact change if you're using cash. EXACT change. One of the delivery guys always refuses to let us pay separately with cash when we order for lunch at work and it turns into a huge confusing mess...more dollar bills thrown all over the table than the stage at your local strip joint. Just either pay with a card or make sure you have the exact amount!

Came on a Wednesday lunch hour (12-1pm) and it was packed! They were very busy with dine in orders and take out! Its a small place, with limited parking up front, but there is additional parking behind the building as well. I got the spinach enchiladas with beans. The beans were the BOMB! Would come here again!

Now open Saturday. They cater too. Arizona home-style Mexican food. I know, not like YOUR Momma's home style. I too came in on a Wednesday lunch, about 12:45, with barely an empty table to be found. Charming Andrea mentioned it was slow. It didn't seem slow to me. KVIB 95.1 Latino Vibe spun its English and Spanish world-ish kind of music over the air, and the Women's World Cup soccer game was on the TV. By the time I finished my green burrito combination, the attractive, clean and neat La Paloma was nearly empty. That's fine. I insist on packing and using a digital camera instead of phone or blackberry. Some people get very nervous around cameras. Others jump in front to smile and wave. I don't want to make people any more nervous than already happens. That's why the pics show a nearly empty restaurant. My words for the food is "home cooked." The beans are just about like the first home-cooked refried beans I ate at Luis' grandparents, the rice home style rice. My $6 green beef burrito would put the fear of the Cow God into any bovine finding out that much of them was going to be cooked in verde sauce and rolled into a giant flour tortilla. The meat pretty tender, sauce mild. I can't roll my eyes, smile broadly and exclaim loudly how great it was. It was just fine. You fetch your own chips at La Paloma. Next to them are hot and mild salsas and mostly-onion plus tomato and cilantro pico de gallo. Both salsas had lots of oregano. That's just fine, because some kinds of oregano are a natural anti-bacterial. The also both had red chile and some tomato sauce. I'm thinking the heat in the hot sauce is jalapeno. Hot is on the left, pico in the middle. A different feature is the horchata and jamaica fountain - drink all you want for 30 cents more than soft drinks and ice tea. My family likes horchata so I think that's a pretty good deal. Jamica and horchata will be sugar loaded at La Paloma. There is a full range of the usual (Coca Cola ?) sugar loaded and diet soft drinks too. The "Everybody's" restroom was also clean and neat, but some guy didn't put up the seat. Eeew. We never lift it up or leave it down at the right times guys. If you had scars like mine, you'd know when those times are. Otherwise, neat clean, lots of scented soft soap, paper towels and other products. As mentioned, parking is limited in front, the rear lot's football field size, and has parking. La Paloma has a rear entrance. My main problem after lunch was staying awake. Would I convince my running mates to eat lunch at La Paloma, spend about $7.00 for lunch and mingle with the St. Joe's lunch crowd? Yes.

The food here is delicious. We frequent order from an office building next door. The score is low because the delivery is SLOW. The charge for delivery is $4.00 and it takes sometimes an hour to show up. Please take note managers...your delivery sucks...good thing the food is so good :-) it almost makes up for it.

Used to be great. .. my go to spot. .. not so much anymore. .. I don't know what they did, but the food tastes,, medicinal now. Seriously, what happened? !. I keep thinking "it will be back to it's old self" again..but no. I gave them three chances, and its still not good. I won't be back until I see some reviews that reflect a change for the better. ...

La Paloma Mexican Grill is a little hole in the wall restaurant perhaps only the staff of St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center and surrounding office workers know about in, what I believe is, the Encanto Park neighborhood. Don't let La Paloma's exterior or existence in a small strip mall overwhelmed by a medical supply store keep you from checking this great restaurant. La Paloma is clean, the atmosphere friendly and the meals fresh, traditional and tasty. You order at the counter, then sit down to eat. For a Mexican restaurant, they have the typical dishes: Burritos, tacos, enchiladas, rice and beans. The surprise here is the small section of the menu devoted to Korean cuisine. The owners are Korean, thus have to have dishes of their native land. My husband had their Beef Bulgogi, which is Korean beef barbecue with fresh vegetables and rice and loved it. Craving guacamole, I went for chicken tacos and a side of a guacamole with an interesting spice combination. The only issue we had is that my meal arrived about 10 minutes before my husband's meal. It could be his dish took longer to prepare and they are used to the lunch crowd, which can have a casual attitude toward meal arrivals, If that makes sense. They are open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays. Closed Sundays. If you find yourself in the area, or are curious about La Paloma, definitely check it out. We'll definitely go back there in the future.

Great mexican food. Daily lunch specials. Quick service and reasonably priced. It is across the street from St. Joesph's Hospital, which is convenient for me. Have been here at least once a week.

La Paloma catered a company meeting, and we were very satisfied with the food, good tasting and there was a LOT of it!! I worked with Lupe and Maria to come up with a mix of dishes to everyone's taste and the meeting was a success, with everyone lining up for seconds. We will be back!!

Food is fantastic and cheap. I usually get the taco, enchilada, beans and rice for like $6 and it is very good. Chips and salsa are free too.
