First time in definitely won't be the last time. The server was excellent from helping us with a table perfect to park a baby next to and giving me a treat for my birthday. As for the food everything we ordered tasted delicious and was nicely plated. The decor and vibe was also perfect for a birthday lunch.
I thought the food was veery authentic. I have many friends from Mexico and I've been to Mexico several times so I'm familiar with real Mexican cooking. The restaurant was relaxed, the service was good and the food was good....what more could you ask for.

This place is a gem! The food was delicious. Great for a group. Our sever josh was so nice and accommodating. I would highly recommend this place. I can't wait to go back again.

Was torn between a 3 and 4 star review...Maybe went in with too high of expectations. The restaurant itself is very nice, bright and inviting and large. I would recommend reservations. The service was great, there are plenty of servers and helpers to make sure you're happy. The food had some highs and lows. The chicken eggroll was very good. Flavorful and crunchy with great spice. The tuna and guacamole was another star. Very good, fresh and delicious. The fried cauliflower was good except for the occasional piece that was overly salted. Steak fajitas were good. The enchiladas were fine, and the carnitas steak all good. Not mind blowing, but good. The paella was huge! We were told afterwards that it is usually for 2 or 3 people. The seafood in it was delicious, but the rice was kinda meh. It's BYOB and the margarita mix they have was very tasty. Mixed perfectly with patron.

We visited the restaurant that was previously in this location many times. The way the owners at Paloma have redecorated is beautiful, it really opens up the rooms and makes the place appear larger. The lighting fixtures/wooden beams are very cool. The service was a average wait time, but it was Saturday night and they were slammed. Even so, we got our drinks and apps situated almost immediately upon sitting down and our waitress was nearby/responsive when we needed anything. The food was very good. Guacamole was fresh, and the two of us housed it without feeling too full. He got a green dish and loved it. I got shrimp tacos, oh my yum! Everything we had was delicious. The classic margarita mix was very good, not too sweet or sour. Just right for the tequila we brought to mix. All in all, a very good meal and we will be back!

Service and atmosphere very good. Food was underwhelming in taste. Tortilla soup was oily and the tacos were bland. I much rather go to La Cita on 70.

We finally got to try Paloma on this beautiful day! We were super excited to try and we were not disappointed! The virgin margaritas are hand made by Josh, and are incredible! I got the blood orange and my husband got the regular margarita (byob). We had guac, birria tacos, street corn, green chile enchiladas (so flavorful and light), steak fajitas and tried both the desserts. everything was delicious and packed with flavor! Josh was outstanding and made sure our experience was exceptional! We cannot wait to go back! Don’t sleep on Paloma in collingswood!

We loved this restaurant and will definitely be going back. I have been dreaming about the tuna tostado's since we left! The restaurant is clean, trendy and the food is more upcale-ish Mexican, which this area lacks. So glad to have this non Italian addition on Haddon Ave!

Food was delicious. The guacamole and chips were good, 3 of us had fajitas and 1 had the fish taco. We ate it all-just really good food. The waitress was great-attentive but not too much, let us take our time, did not rush us at all-she was a sweetheart. They even brought out cake for my birthday and sang which was a nice touch. Will be back!

We started the meal with Guacamole w/spicy tuna which was excellent. Pumpkin seed hummus was funky and interesting. We had all 3 types of fajitas for the table which tasted fresh and delicious. Large portions I had the Fried Fish Tacos that were the star of the meal. Outstanding dish. The place Is BYOB some a lot of tequila flowing. Large parties. A little noisy but fun
Another excellent dining experience at Paloma, such a welcome addition to the vibrant Collingswood restaurant scene. The food is fresh and delicious. Don't miss the spicy tuna guacamole, whole chunks of fresh tuna accompanying a perfect fresh guac. Chips and tortillas are made in-house thus devoid of processed ingredients. The caramel and the strawberry Tres Leches cakes were the moistest and best we have eaten. Management is gracious and attentive. Will definitely return again.

Not half bad of a spot, went for a late lunch so we were the only people there. Guacamole was good and so was the enchiladas. Never got checked on and sat for 30 min after we were finished eating. Wondered why.. until I saw our server (red tattoo on neck) walking outside on her way back from Wawa with her lunch, laughing with her co-worker. Made eye contact with her and got no apology after waiting another 5-10 min. Not worth coming back in my opinion, spending $80 on lunch.

Quaint little place. Servers lack in personality but make up for it by being accommodating. Food is beautifully presented but underwhelming in flavor.Parking: Be prepared for the weather you may be in for a short, brisk walk. At least 5 blocks.
