Paloma Riverwalk

How sad that this restaurant that used to be so good is now average at best. I would not waste my time going there anymore. the food is made for someone who no longer has a palate to taste. I guess the bigger they are the harder they fall!

Pros: The outdoor patio is still beautiful.

Cons: The food is horrid!

i went here and to start off the drinks were awesome........ then the restaurant brought out the wrong food and had the nerve to ask why i wouldn't eat it and why my 3 year old wouldn't eat fish with salsa. as if it is any of their business as to whether my son would eat it. and then the manager's only way to handle the problem was to give us three dollars off our meal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! not every horrible tasting entree the whole meal lmao. and the food is horrible. i live in san antonio and can name a million better hole in the wall mexican joints that are awesome foodwise and customer servicewise..................... hope you choose a better place then this. we wasted almost a hundred dollars........ oh and another thing the manager had to go to a store down the street to break a hundred and get us our change.. while we sat there waiting. JUST DO NOT GO HERE EVER

Pros: on the riverwalk

Cons: everything about the restaurant other than the riverwalk locale

One of the worst restaurants I've EVER been to. 1 star for the location only. We had a table for 6 adults and 2 children on 31 Dec 07. Food was poor: pasta was tasteless and stodgy, and a very small bowl for $8, caesar salad was nondescript, soup looked regurgitated, the sandwich was ok. Chef refused to provide a kids' portion of pasta. I went inside after our food was served and was horrified of how dirty it looked, floors, walls, kitchen...and the ladies' restroom was disgustingly dirty with a workman in there painting. I can't believe they had a man in there working during the peak lunchtime rush. It will take a lot more than a coat of paint to save this abysmal place. I'm surprised none of us became sick afterwards. The lemonades were watered down and tasteless, I sent mine back and was still charged for it. The waitress was spaced out and kept forgetting to bring cutlery, drinks etc. At 18% gratuity! There are better places than this on the Riverwalk. We ate later at the Westin Hotel and that was fabulous.

I went to this restaurant with my mother, sister and my two kids. It was a beautiful setting, right on the riverwalk. We waited over 30 minutes for a drink! When the food finally came it was not of a very high standard. My pasta was extremely oily and not hot enough. The main problem was when we finally got the check. I was horrified to find that the total was $122!. As I was looking over the individual items the waiter grabbed my elderly mother's Visa card out of her hand. I then noticed a charge of $11 for a glass of wine which was not what she ordered, and an 18% gratuity! When I queried this the waiter informed me that 'was because we were on the Riverwalk'!

Pros: Location, Varied menu

Cons: Overpriced, Poor Service, Substandard food

Me and my Family went (party of 4) on a weekend. It was very busy outside, inside we were able to sit immediately (due to everybody wanting to sit outside). I had the Carne Asada plate it was the best I have EVER had!!!!! My wife had some pasta with sausage (it was OK). My kids had taquitos. But over all it was a very good experience.

Pros: goof food, fast service, location

Cons: very busy, long wait for outside

My husband and I went there for our 1st year anniversary. This place is coasting off of their location. The food and service was by far the worst I have ever received anywhere! The waiter was unattentive and never brought requested beverages or tortillas. The steak was chewy and hard to cut and the chips were so stale they would bend instead of break. We waited for 15 minutes for the waiter to bring our check. I guess we should have known better since all the other restaurants on the river walk had 30-min. waits and Paloma had mostly empty tables. Save your money! Go anywhere but here!!

Pros: Riverwalk

Cons: Food, Service, Atmosphere
