We attended the South Florida Seafood Festival and had some good eats by The Pink Paloma.
The Pink Paloma is tucked in the back inside Wynwood Marketplace. If you walk through The Deck, you'll find The Pink Paloma right next door.
They had us at tacos! Saw someone eating shrimp tacos and it looked so good, we asked where they got it from and they pointed us here. It was almost hidden away and we couldn't really see it behind the big tent, only the sign for Baja Tacos. Ordered the Shrimp Tacos and 3 Cheese Quesadilla for the kids. We got a beeper for when our food is ready.
Shrimp Tacos were good and served with a side of hot sauce. Very fresh but I felt it could have used a little more oomph on flavor or spiciness on hot sauce. The tacos tasted a little bland and I was expecting so much more flavor. I still enjoyed it because I was craving tacos. The kid's cheese quesadilla looked great and a huge portion. I didn't try it but it looked super crispy on outside and filled with a good amount of cheese!
Let me close this review by saying I went from 4 stars down to 3 stars because THEY DON'T TELL YOU ABOUT THE AUTOMATIC 22% SERVICE CHARGE!!! That's wrong and I dislike places that do this. It's deceiving and leaves you with a bad taste.
When I paid for everything, as for most things, it prompts you for a tip. Which of course I tipped them. Funny how the staff doesn't let you know ahead of time there is a service charge already included. When I saw the total of $38, I asked how much the Shrimp Tacos were and she said $14. I just brushed it off even though I thought $38 was expensive for my Shrimp Tacos and Cheese Quesadilla. As I'm writing this review, I checked the receipt I had texted to me.
1 GOBERNADOR TACO - $14 1 3 CHEESE QUESADILLA - $12 SERVICE CHARGE (22.00%) - $5.72 Subtotal - $31.72 Tax - $2.08 Tip - $4.68 Total - $38.48
So we ended up tipping $10.40 on a $26 total for our food before tax + tips. That's shady ya'll. And it makes me furious. I don't mind tipping where it's well deserved, I come from the hospitality industry. I know how hard hospitality people work. But this isn't the way to get your tips. Plus I'm tipping for them to take my order and make my food. We picked up the food, took it to our table and cleaned up after ourself.
I don't understand how you can even add an automatic service charge for a lack of service?!? The tipping has gotten out of control and nobody works for it anymore. Establishments just adding tips where it's not fully deserved. I don't get it. Rant done.
DO BETTER!!!!

Automatic 22% gratuity then asks for another tip starting it 18%. Pay attention if you dont want to spend $50 on 2 margaritas. They sure aren't worth that...

Friendly cashiers, food is pretty good, lots of seating. But it’s really expensive an overpriced with which I’m fine with in wynwood.
But when they give you the register to sign it shows tip (and not additional tip) and they don’t give you a receipt to see that gratuity was already included. It’s just confusing and shady. Plus you don’t tip cashiers. Wtf do you tip the cashier at the Home Depot register? No way.

Absolutely overpriced, tiny portions. They don’t give you nothing you will be impressed by and BE AWARE 22% gratuity is already included and no one will let you know, and you will end up tipping at least 40% on top of the total, for a place that gives you no service and the product is not worth it.

My daughter bought some chicharrones and they charged her “BY MISTAKE” for two drinks and when she complained they told her that they could not refund the money and she had to keep the drinks that she had not ordered, the truth is the first time I have heard of a place that makes a mistake and You have to pay for their mistakes, very poorly done and we will never return, they were super abusive…

Very nice place, excellent food and best of all we had a great time as a family I recommend it
Delicious tacos - small shell, but overflowing and full. Steak slices were perfectly cooked. El pastor was delicious. Flavor wise - can compete with Los Tacos No. 1

This place has one of the best chicken quesadillas I have ever had!!! It’s very well seasoned, it has a nice texture, and the meat inside is tender. I was not a fan of the margaritas they were a bit too sweet, but those tacos and quesadillas were amazing! I’m
