What People Are Saying About Paladar

The Scene – Paladar tries to create a south-of-the-border vibe with beautifully presented Pan-Latin cuisine, colorful decor and--somewhat incongruously--loud Middle Eastern music. – – The Food – Things seem to be just as confused behind the kitchen door. Pork tamal is more soggy than moist (you don't want to eat it so much as pick it up and wring it out); salmon, although seared to perfection, is set adrift in a pea-green sea of bland tomatillo sauce; and juicy mahi-mahi is suffocated by a drab caper, olive and tomato sauce that bears an odd resemblance to…

I don't understand what Aaron Sanchez is doing trying to cook "Caribbean" food instead of focusing on his heritage and cook Mexican food. the results, the place is empty now!!!! nobody cares for bad beans. the happy hour is good though. I go back for the drinks, but don't care for the con-fusion food.
- Pros: location live in the area. Happy Hour:)
- Cons: mediocre food.

Food: DELICIOUS, Service: BAD
by Indyvia
My husband and I just returned from Paladar after a late-night Valentine's Day diner. We were seated despite not having a reservation. The Price: Affordable. The food: DELICIOUS! . The service... not so much. Two couples seated beside us were constantly catered to while we sat there, not even offered a second drink, let alone dessert - which, after waiting about 20 minutes, we decided against. Bad service on V-Day... . BIG NO-NO. We would have spent more, if they would have waited on us rather than make us wait.
- Pros: Food arrived quickly
- Cons: Waitress, nice woman but, didn't do her job at all.

great restaurant!
by thata
Well I think what this girl say is a lie, because all the staff that I saw there is hispanic, and I'm hispanic too and I was very well treated, the food is very good, the drinks too, I wil back soon, because is a great latin food restaurant. and descrimination is a crime, but the right place to say that is in a court not in a site about food.
- Pros: Everything!
- Cons: Could be open for lounch
