   "Paloma: More Mexico, Please!" Paloma offers a pleasant dining experience with good food, but it does not offer an authentic Mexican gastronomic experience. The food, while good, lacks the rich spices and strong flavors that one would expect of Mexican food. They were a bit bland to my taste. The portion size, advertised as two was more suitable for a single person. The ambiance of the restaurant is similar to the food – nice but boring. The decor is sterile and lacks the vibrant colors and festive atmosphere characteristic of Mexico. A pop of color is in desperate need. To truly bring Mexico alive, Paloma may consider: * Adding a vibrant mural of traditional Mexican symbols. * Incorporating colorful designs on the backs of chairs or with bright pillows. * Adding more of real Mexican spices and introducing new dishes. With a few adjustments, Paloma could be a well remembered Mexican restaurant.

   Great food, service and atmosphere. First time dining at Paloma and couldn't have enjoyed it more. Thanks to the team!

   Service was great, the restaurant looks beautiful but the food doesn't quite match the prices which is a real shame. The veggie tacos in particular lacked flavour and many of the tacos tasted really similar. Having said that the whipped feta tostasdas were amazing and everyone agreed they were the star of the show. The wine and cocktails were lovely as well, it's just a shame we found the tacos a bit lacking in flavour.

   We had a lovely time. Service was excellent, we had some elderly relatives and the staff accommodated our needs to move tables, big shout out to Jake for his help. Food was outstanding, so much so we came for the ‘Mexican roast’ on Sunday. Can’t wait to go back next time we’re in Leith. Hope Paloma goes from strength to strength.

   My friends and I love to eat at Paloma - good for dates and nights out with friends and family. Food is so tasty and light, and the cocktails are great too.

   Delicious food. Fresh and zingy, salt and sweet in all of the right places. The hardest thing is trying to decide what to order again!

   Our experience was 1st class. The food was amazing, fresh and light. The cocktails were refreshing and delicious. The service was spot on. The food came quickly as it was ready and as soon as it hit the table we demolished it! From the Nachos to the corn ribs to the tacos, beef, fish, chicken etc all delicious- can’t wait to go back

    Loved Paloma so much! Strongly recommended . Brilliant fresh tacos with lots of flavor contrasts, crunch & punch. The feta whip tostada is also incredible & the Mexican street corn. Their house made hot sauce was also really good. Really well made delicious cocktails too - Their Paloma is best I’ve had in Edinburgh. Loved the vibe, the tableware, decor & staff were lovely. Definitely best tacos in town. 🤍🤍
