Had one of their shrimp platters and it came sizzling hot. It tasted great, was reasonably priced and I got great service.
They have the best food and friendly staff!
We had enchilada suizas chicken tasted boiled with no spice. The salsa seemed to be out of a bottle. This was by far the worst Mexican restaurant I have ate at.
I had the seafood Chimichamga and it was A+mazing! The server was polite and attentive the entire time. The chips and salsa + drinks hit the table near instantly and the food was hot and prepared as desired. I would definitely eat here again.
Affordable but delicious food, stopped here when driving through to Virginia. All the staff was friendly and there were drink specials to consider. Definitely a nice spot to stop at!
Tons of delicious food for a good price. They have fantastic margaritas as well. Family run and owned by a wonderful family.
We are regulars and just love the food and the service. Do not confuse with the other El P. Mexican restaurant in town. El Palomar has great parking availability. Located in the strip mall near Wal-Mart.
Great food at a good price. Service is always fast and friendly.
Very friendly staff and attentive. Fast service and very delicious food. I highly recommend eating at this place. Prices were amazing for the portions. The restaurant was very clean and the staff was disinfecting everything properly.
My steak fajita was delicious & a very generous portion!! The salsa is so fresh & the spices spot on! The chips are thin & warm. A friendly, scrumptious spot to get filled up!! Also, prices are so reasonable & service is very quick--every time!!
The food is always really good. Very customer friendly and really nice workers. I recommend coming here.
We usually order a take out dinner about once a week and have never been disappointed. We have been doing this for the past 5 or 6 years now. The food is consistently great and the staff have always been polite and friendly.Cant recommend then enough.The fajitas chimichanga and burrito El Palomar are the go to menu items for our family.
Took my sister to dinner had a nice time.. Great food & good service! Seams very clean, great prices & food came out really fast too!
This place is great, we eat here once a week. The only complaint we have is the heavier set hostess with the long straight blonde hair is always chewing gum and is kind of rude most of the time. Everyone else is great. The food is excellent. Very well priced as well. Only left unhappy once in maybe 100 visits.
Very good. Authentic Mexican food. Reasonable prices. Reminded us of our local Mexican restaurant
My boyfriend and I eat here a cpl times a month. Our favorite place in town! The food is always very hot and delicious, not to mention, pretty quick too! Wait staff are always friendly. Have never had any problems here.
My favorite Mexican restaurant. I recently traveled back to Ohio. I made a special effort to stop for a meal. Sorry I missed seeing the owner, he truly is a good host.The food is always hot and flavorful. Good selection of meals. Whenever I had need for clarification on a particular dish. They whomever was waiting on us was very kind and helpful.
Has a very large group of friends and was not disappointed! Courteous staff, quick service and everything was perfect! 5 stars!
Great food great service my whole family had a great time it was amazing
This place has gone down hill.When they first opened it was wonderful, now it’s not so good.The food is greasy, you use to get a lot of shrimp now maybe 3-5 in those dishes. The margaritas use to be excellent now not so good.I won’t be back for awhile. First review recv’d 1 star ...2nd Review months later:Well I waited several months then gave them another chance. Food quality has gone back up to being great and the margaritas are much better now than before.Gave 5 stars this time.
Did anyone else get Covid after eating here? I did some digging and found out the whole staff tested positive for Covid and no one quarantined, they all went right back to work , it’s horrible that they have no consideration for anyone’s well being , they are making people sick
Good food and good service.
The food is always good. The staff is friendly. Only problem I had was out waitress preferred that we order using menu numbers, I said 146 she heard 156. Got a burreto instead of a enchalata (spelling). It was still quite tasty.
Very surprised how good the food is here. Everything cooked perfectly. Service was pretty slow but I will definitly go back
Ordered a plate with shrimp steak and chicken and only got 3 shrimp (the plate i got was almost $12) and there wasnt much cheese on it but they happily fixed the cheese problem immediately. The hot sauce was great!
So I ordered cheese dip and it was almost cold. Im sorry but i feel as if cheese dip with nachos is supposed to be hot. Then I get to my meal...which wasnt the greatest. I had a burrito and some soft tacos. Boy did I get the short end of the stick. My burrito wasnt hot, warm at its best with steak that was like chewing gristle. My soft tacos were cold and had so much of what look like grease in the hamburger meat. All in all It was a bad experience. I would have gaven a 1 star but the salsa was the best thing I had to eat during my dinner.
Decent mexican cuisine for the area. Not much choice in Circleville so for what it is, its okay. The taco salad is mediocre but the place is clean and the employees are friendly.Small outdoor seating is available and parking is limited to the street. Located downtown Circleville.
Literally always amazing. The service is exactly what you would expect from a local restaurant, friendly and just fantastic. The food is amazing, from the chips and salsa to the entrees, its all deliciously made. My personal favorite is the #174 Burrito Loco, a massive burrito with steak, chicken, AND shrimp. Served with Mexican rice and refried beans, best Mexican food you can get in Circleville by far, maybe even the best food. Affordable too! Dinner for two usually around $30 before tips.
We dont even go in to sit down and eat anymore because 90% of the staff is so rude Id rather deal with one of the teenagers at a fast food drive thru in town. We had switched to just ordering carry out so we could still enjoy the food. That has proven to become a nightmare. Everytime we order carry out they act as though we are inconveniencing them. The past 2/3 times they have made things incorrectly or forgotten items out of our order. They charged us appetizer price for a side order of guacamole. We asked for a couple extra salsas for our chips, completely willing to pay extra, instead of extra we got one salsa for 3 orders of chips. Tonight we called again to place a carry out order, their hours clearly say 930 here on Google, well apparently they have begun closing at 830 according to the rude female that answered the phone. She is beyond rude Everytime we call. To the point that when she answers I will hang up until I get someone besides her, or ask for someone else. No apology for our disappointment that their hours are incorrect on here, just a well it says it on the door, with a rude tone. When I advised her they just lost customers she couldnt have cared less. You would think that losing customers that order and spend at least $50 once a week, and still tip for carry out, would have some sort of meaning to a business in a town like circleville. But thats fine, the food at the Mexican restaurant In Lancaster is much better, and they just inspired me to make the drove..... Keep it up el Palomar and you wont have a business.
Authentic Mexican food. Small dining area but not too small. Great pico and salsa with fresh cooked tortilla chips while food is being made fresh. Had the steak Texacana with roasted peppers. Would definitely order it again. Wife had chicken chimisand said they were excellent.
Always good food, my daughters choice for celebrating her 14th birthday today...she loved the sombrero and fried ice cream they brought her as they sang Happy Birthday in Spanish! Not to mention having the ice cream smeared on her nose and mouth..it was great!
This is one of the best restaurants in pickaway county. We eat here all the time. Very friendly staff. Carry out orders are usually done in about 15 minutes, even on larger orders. Its definitely one of our favorite places to eat. Highly recomended!
Ate there today found hair in my fajita. Ate thru just enough for one wrap and found it in second one I was making. Told our waiter who then asked for the hair to show cook. I pulled it out and put on floor so the other ppl eating wouldnt be grossed out. He charged me half for meal still but it made me sick to stomach .looked like facial hair.....or worse! A few months ago my bf and I ate there and there was a pop bottle cap in our bottle of salsa! Im done! Waiter acted like I made it up but been a customer since they opened. Looking g forward to the new Mexican ace opening up across the road now!
Amazing place!!! Ive never found any better Mexican food out there! Everyone I talked to tried one menu meal and has never ordered anything different!! Great service also!
Poorly executed attempt at the bland style of Mexican food. No fresh elements, bland salsa, margarita was day-glow green and looked like it came out of an off the shelf premixed bottle from the grocery store. Fajitas are usually safe in an unknown place, and they were horribly overcooked, steak and chicken like leather, shrimp tasted old. We tried this restaurant soon after they opened, and tried it again last night due to the positive reviews. I would rather eat Taco Bell than return to this restaurant, and I have not had Taco Bell in over 20 years. Service was also poor, but the real issue was bad food.
This restaurant always have great food great prices and great service I have never been dissatisfied at this restaurant when I eat there and I eat there quite often
The service was good. Arrest clean and neat. But the food was not that great. I ordered fajitas and it was overcooked in a little too dry. The Taste was so so not the best Ive had but not the words that bad
We eat out all the time. El palomar is one of these restaurant that we patronize. For many years we fought against trying Mexican food. Didnt like the smells. Then one night a friend got us to go. We now like it very much. The chimecoga is one of our favorites.
El Palomar is totally legit! The waiters can actually speak English, they dont charge you for extra chips, food is always fast and delicious! I have ate here for years and never once had a bad experience! In fact I love it so much my family had a surprise birthday party here for me one time! I am a mexican food conessouir and my professional opinion is, You cant go wrong eating here!
Staff is not friendly , food is over priced and very little of it. Didnt see the wastes drum deliver until she stepped a check on the table and kept going. We didnt even get refills of soda, chips or salsa
Food and service was top notch. They were not busy but it was mid afternoon too.
Best Mexican food around. Service is awesome as well. We drive over an hour just to eat there. Well worth it
This place used to be pretty good, IDK what happened, but the food had no flavor at all last time I went. Also my kid ordered a hamburger and they gave him one of those crappy gas station microwave type burgers in the wrapping it comes in. Very disappointed
Always great food and service every time I visit! Well worth the price!
Food and service was great! Very good prices. Highly recommend!
Very good food. Nice and clean and friendly service
I love this place. Best Mexican food for miles, wonderful customer service available, they offer dine-in an carryout. Available for large parties or groups. Offer a wide variety of foods.
Food is great, service is a little slow. The hostess the night we ate there was extremely rude. When I paid the bill she didnt speak a word. No how was you food no thanks.
We really like this restaurant. The service is good, many food choices, family oriented. Nice place for lunch or dinner.
Great food. Not the best that Ive had bit definitely delicious.
Great place and very friendly and fun environment!
We frequent here at least once a month if not once a week. Great food and friendly staff. The drink specials are awesome too.
Food was decent but pricey, service wasent great and it was extremely hot to me seems they dont like running the ac much when its a hot summer day
Never had a bad food. Owner is always friendly. Honey Margaritas are always a great choice! Been coming here for years.
Excellent food and great service!
Awesome service and the food was so good and didnt have to wait very long before it came out .
I go to El Palomar often with my girlfriend. It is a good place to eat. Waiter staff is nice. And they get your order correct.
They have the best food in the world I love it so much
This place is great! ridiculous fast service. and food is excellent. I hope they are making a lot of money.
Absolutely love this place. I could go here all week long!!! El pastor tacos are the best!!!
Food isnt that good, doesnt seem fresh more like reheated food..guacamole was terrible looked like baby poop, was definitely premade not fresh...this is not even close to Mexican food its Tex-Mex foodStaff you csnt understand and they dont check on you , so your tip is #customer service gets u a better tip...These others customer reviews are ridiculous best around ---->taco bell is betterGreat wait staff ----> get better glasses ur blindFood just like in cali ----> wow now thats a lieIf this is good enough for you than your standards are welfare based imo
Worst beef tacos Ive ever eaten. They were a soupy mess with to much taco seasoning. I ate one out of the three I ordered. 25 dollar waste. I will never be back...
This is a really bad place to eat they have really bad service no good customer service the beverage that they give you the taste nasty I will not come in and eat anymore again for any reference if I could give half of a star I might give zero Stars they deserve no stars. At all
What a great place, especially for Circleville. Ive never had a problem there and its my favorite place in town! My personal favorite is the Fajita Chimichanga. Definitely recommend!

2022-04-07I’ve gone here multiple times the last few years and every single time I’ve loved it. The taquitos, enchiladas, tacos, everything. It’s always fresh, hot (trust me I’ve burnt my finger on the plate), and all the service people are really nice! It’s locally run so I really recommend going and helping out the local family.Every time I’ve been here has been great. Good service, good food, and everyone is very friendly. Really personally recommend the enchiladas ranchera. Those are really good. It was a great experience when I went just last week. Will totally come back.

2022-05-16My favorite spot in all of Circleville! Always have wonderful service with very little wait time after ordering my meal. I dont think I could complain if I tried to. The Pelusa Texana is my go to, would highly recommend this if you havent already tried it! Definitely should stop by this spot if you havent already been!
