Taquería La Paloma

This place is now closed. As of March 2010, it is Tacos El Pastor, which kicks a$$. Writing a review soon…

Their tacos were pretty good, pretty meaty, and not particularly greasy. Not too much difference between the bistec and barbacoa. I would agree with Bernhard that the salsas were not that good, and the girl behind the counter seemed a little overwhelmed, especially because she was left alone for a while, and I had to wait and wait for my tacos when other customers came in.

And God spoke: As a testament to my apathy I shall create a mediocre Mexican restaurant in the place called Irving and it shall be called Taquería La Paloma.
And on the 8^th day after the Pentecost, Bernhard went to Taquería La Paloma in the place called Irving and broke bread there and it was indeed mediocre.
And Bernhard being a good servant spoke to the Lord: Why have you plagued us with such mediocre faire as La Paloma when our hearts have been so pure? Such bitter salsas have I never heretofore tasted. Such incompetent waitstaff have I never seen. And wherefor are the chips which are so absent from this mine table?
Ok all joking aside, this place is mediocre at best. Although, while I was dining there I saw a sign that said 50 cent taco Thursdays.
I get in this place and make my order and the cashier can’t get the credit card machine to work so she says I need to pay with cash. I tell her I need an ATM and ask her where to go and she has no idea where one is. I find one and return shortly. I pay for my order but she charges me the wrong amount. I correct her. She gives me the wrong change back, I correct her. Then she gets my order wrong. I eat the food, which is not bad, but the salsa that they have is horrible. I have never had worse salsa in my life. Both the green and red salsas were bitter and left a bad taste in my mouth. Plus, there are no chips at the table, which I am accustomed to.
Again, the food isn’t bad, but I expect much better, probably because of Taquería Arandas in Austin, TX (not the chain of the same name in Dallas, Houston, and Waco).
