People are very nice. Generous amount of food. I ordered the shrimp tacos + chips and salsa. Tacos were so good, I wish I could eat them everyday. They also gave a huge bag of chips for about $6.

Erin was a phenomenal bartender, very friendly, very caring, and very observant. She made me some really good drinks for me and made me feel comfortable in a place I haven’t been in before. I will definitely be returning as long as Erin is running the bar, i’ve been to many bars and this was easily the best experience at any bar i’ve had yet. Id give 10 stars if it was an option.

La Paloma has been our "go-to" spot for Mexican cuisine for over 25 years, and I had a craving the other night. Unfortunately, it is not the same great place that we have known for so long. I am wondering if it is under different ownership. We dined on a Sunday evening and I would say they were at less than 50% capacity. With that I would have expected quick service. My wife ordered the combo enchiladas, which were served without any verde or red sauce (odd). I ordered my traditional combo steak and chicken fajitas, which have always come out on a hot plate, sizzling and giving off a great aroma. However, this time it was a very quiet presentation. They were good, but, not what they used to be. I also noted that they were not playing the traditional lively Mexican background music, which made the experience feel odd, and and less enjoyable. When we were done eating we waited, and waited (about 20 minutes) for our server to come by so we could ask for the check. As I mentioned, they were not busy at all which told me she was not focused and perhaps chit chatting out in the back. I had been looking forward to bringing some friends of ours to dinner there, but, I think I have changed my mind and need to seek out a new favorite Mexican spot. Well, it was great while it lasted.

Was on a date and the waiter (owner?) sat us next to a group of 12 college students who were constantly yelling inappropriate conversations. There’s carrots in everything. Parking was almost gone.

In my opinion, this is the best Mexican cuisine on the South Shore. Large portions, great choices.And as usual, I had advanced my abilities with the helpmof the lords lettuce. So also as usual I forgot to take pictures.I had this amazing Chalupa... it was at least 4 inches tall of chicken, cheese, and their tasty red sauce... ?My wife, she had her usual shredded beef Encinitas... she loves this so much. It's her favorite this on the menu. Aside from their Ultimate Margarita's which as an FYI... You can get to go... you just need to ask for a Margarita to go. You can get a 16 oz of a 32oz.When you go in, tell them Charles (the guy with the Bruins Porkpie hat) sent you... it won't get you anything. But... I'd love to hear their reaction to it.

Parking: Be careful pulling in and out of the parking lot. This is on Newport Avenue in Quincy. People drive that road like idiots.

I love this place! It hasn't changed much over the years and I really love that about this place. Good food. Good drinks. Plenty of parking. I've had so many fun nights here. My only complaint is they're not open 7 days a week. But I get it people need a break.

Loved the atmosphere and the service was great. BUT coming from the south where Tex-Mex is everywhere I was rather disappointed in the food. Cheese dip is not queso blanco and was split and grainy. Sword fish tacos were delicious. Enchiladas were ok but nothing to compare to what I have had in the past. We plan on giving it another shot in the hopes we caught them on a bad evening in the kitchen.
