Maybe candidate for worst burrito ever. Seems like there were three tortillas in it take up volume, the beans were from a can, and there was almost no flavor, and maybe 2 Scoville units of heat.

This is the best vibe for game days or chillin with your people. Jack and Carlos will guarantee, you get exactly what you ordered, to perfection every time!!You'll need to bring your entire family with you, to finish eating this burrito, it was sooo good.I appreciate the polished and always clean concrete floors and bathroons. The huge tv's are cool too, for trivia and games. Great wait staff, enough to always be available to the customers-always smiled and asked if I needed anything.Amazing crew here!! ??

I finally got around to trying Paloma Park, and I'm glad I did. This is notwithstanding the fact I stopped in around Noon on a Saturday during UGA parents weekend. It was busy and kept getting busier. The place is cavernous with two very sizable dinning rooms plus a sizable outdoor seating area. It features numerous flat screens for watching sports. Go Dawgs. Being solo this visit, I chose to sit at the bar. It was a good choice. Right above the bar was a huge flat screen showing the UGA home basketball game. The bartender was on a ball. What about the food? One of the best tacos I've ever had in my life was the Brisket taco in a flour tortilla. You can chose corn, but for this one I thought flour would be best. If you order this and don't like it, I don't know what to say. The shrimp taco, on the other hand, was underwhelming. If I recall correctly, the prices were $5.00 each, which is very reasonable for the quality of the tacos, which I would say are generously portioned. Two of them were enough to fill me up at lunchtime. For food, the drill you go to the food counter to place your order and pay. They give you a number on a stick so the food runners can see it to deliver your order. It works. The service was great. Friendly and on the ball all the way around is the best way for me to describe it. It's full bar so all of your booze groups are covered. I washed my meal down with a Creature Comforts Tropicalia as one does. Cheers.

This is a hidden gem in Athens! Amazing food and drinks, and their daily specials are out of this world! $1 wings and $6 margarita pitchers on Sundays?? Yes please! The food and drinks are always top notch too and the environment is just fun, both indoors and outside! I love this place!

They have no idea what they are doing. Ordered outside and couldn't order what we wanted. Seats inside are 3 ft off the ground. Ordered wings and nachos. Wings came; hr later no nachos. 70.00 order; cancelled nachos finally. Had a pitcher of mimosas. Food quality is very good; just need to work on customer service

Paloma Park is by far my favorite bar and restaurant in Athens! I love the atmosphere and find Paloma Park to be a great place to watch Georgia football with friends and/or family. I stop by to grab a drink or bite to eat way too frequently (shamelessly, of course), and I have yet to be disappointed. The food slaps & the drinks are delicious- 10/10 recommend! The bar makes the BEST espresso martinis, and they have super affordable pitchers for happy hour, which personally I find to be the best weekday pick me up. All of the staff is incredibly welcoming and helpful. If you haven’t been yet, you NEED to try Paloma Park!!!!!Dietary restrictions: Paloma Park offers lots of gluten-free and vegetarian options.

Paloma park is the best spot in Athens to drink, anytime of day. On weekends they boost a huge screen outside to watch games and during the week they have a great happy hour special that is arguably the best in town. They also have a generous food menu with some great options. I love coming here for all types of events and consider myself their number one fan. The bar does get super crowded on games days and there is sometimes a wait on drinks. However , the staff is very well trained and are trying super hard to reduce wiat.

This place is awesome! Just tried their Paloma on Draft, Espresso martini, and Tajin margarita and they were all delicious. My friends and I had the best time coming here before going out, we definitely will be back! Best chips and queso we’ve had in Athens <3

It’s very rare that someone is able to find a place with quality drinks, great food, and an amazing environment. This place has it all. It’s great for going with a large group of people or even if you want to get a drink with a friend one on one. I haven’t even gotten to the game days yet. Probably the biggest screen i have ever seen in my life to watch the Dawgs on, not to mention you can see every game live on Tv at any point in the restaurant. Couldn’t ask for a better experience and is definitely a frequent visit.

Paloma Park is an absolute gem in the world of Tex-Mex dining, and my recent experience for the SEC Championship Game was nothing short of spectacular. From the vibrant gameday atmosphere and big screen outside to the delectable Tex-Mex cuisine, Paloma has truly won my heart.This past Saturday, I was immediately enveloped in the lively energy of the restaurant. The restaurant was bustling with patrons, and finding a spot at the crowded bar seemed like a challenge. However, fate had a delightful surprise in store for me in the form of one extraordinary bartender, whose name I will never forget. Wyatt not only skillfully navigated through the busy crowd but also went above and beyond to ensure that every customer felt welcomed and valued.Wyatt's genuine hospitality and expert mixology skills were evident when I ordered an espresso martini. Not only did he craft the perfect cocktail, but he did so with a flair and enthusiasm that showcased his passion for mixology. The espresso martini was nothing short of a masterpiece – a perfect balance of rich coffee flavor and smooth, velvety texture that left me craving for more.What truly sets Paloma Park apart is its commitment to creating a welcoming and memorable experience for every guest. The interior is a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern flair, creating an inviting ambiance that sets the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The decor, with its warm hues and tasteful southwestern accents, adds to the overall cozy and welcoming feel of the establishment. The attentive and friendly staff, coupled with the culinary prowess of the kitchen, make this establishment a standout in the competitive Athens Bar & Restaurant scene.
