This is definitely a restaurant that you can not judge a book by its cover. These little hole in the wall, nothing fancy restaurants are often the ones that are the best. Part of the dining experience is the ambiance, this restaurant is not adorned with sombreros, fancy decorations and menu's. When you enter, there are a couple of tables, a large display case of pastries, and the counter. You feel like you are eating in there home, everyone here is family. It is a very good sign also that the clientele were all Hispanic. The restaurant may not be over the top to look at, but there food is excellent. The owner came from the Guadalajara region of Mexico, so many of his dishes are influenced from his upbringing in that area. I ordered a cheese pupusa, to start with. It was extremely light with a good amount of melted cheese inside. My next dish was a combo, a chile rellano and a chicken enchilada. Both were delicious and stock full of flavor. The enchilada was more like a taquito, the sauce was delicious and on top was Mexican cheese. They make everything from scratch in-house, tortillas, pastries, cakes and all there menu items. You can obviously see a lot of love goes into running this restaurant, and there name Las Paloma's means the doves. Definitely will be back. read more

I really like the service food cake and everyone here!! I am from the bay and decided to get married in Reno. I went in to get my wedding cakes and when I seen the place I thought it was alright but when the lady came out and we started talking about what I needed I seen all the beautiful cakes she has done and was amazed. I sample their flavors and loved their napoleon flavored one with vanilla icing. She was so nice that I trusted her to do the cake how I wanted it. The day of the wedding I saw my Cake and loved how it looked everyone loved it. I feel it looked nicer than the picture I had showed her. Once I ate cake OOHHH BBooyyy was it so good!! Not super sweet or lack of flavor it was just amazing it tasted way better than the sample. I loved it all!! The next day we decided to go get some of the food. The pupusas were super good rich in flavor. I am not a menudo person but someone order it and said it tasted like if it was home made and the burrito which I had to take a bite was soo good too. I have to give this place a 5stars the owner is reliable it wow me on my wedding day and the food is a must go back! read more

The best Chile verde in town! Good service! I love this place. The bread it's really too! read more

Panaderia Las Palomas - #chileverde #porkwithgreensalsa - Mexican Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I came on a girls trip with 6 girls for a bachelorette from Chico. Today, Sunday after the trip came to an end we wanted to have something good for a hang over aka menudo. We all got different items BUT everything was 5 stars. We had the menudo, they bring out hand made tortillas and home made salsa. If you order tacos those are also served with home made tortillas. We were all so impressed and any time I'm in Reno I will NOT leave town without stopping by. For those of you who don't like menudo they don't have posole but they have an albondigas soup. Items ordered today: menudo, tacos and chiles relllenos. The food was so incredible, so we took a torts for the road. Their prices are so cheap it's insane. It's a small restaurant with approx 12 tables and they also make home made Mexican bread and pastries. If you're in town and you love Mexican food this place is as authentic as it gets. We are all Mexican and approve of the authenticity. read more

Panaderia Las Palomas - This is the best menudo I've ever had, hands down. - Mexican Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Panaderia las Palomas isn't in a fancy part of town, and there certainly isn't anything fancy about the place. There are a few posters and advertisements on the walls, retail items for sale--including mason jars of housemade salsas--and display cases full of baked goods. But I wasn't here for the ambience; I'll take function over form any day. The combined aromas of pastries and spicy hot dishes wafting from the kitchen was completely intoxicating. Though it didn't take long for my order to be completed, waiting in that swirl of scents made my mouth water with anticipation. The drive home was almost as bad, but my car smelled delicious by the time I got there. The menu board is short and sweet. Although nearly everything is available as a combo plate, I chose to skip the rice and beans and focused on items easily shared. I think it's almost a given you should try a torta when visiting a Mexican bakery, and I wasn't disappointed. I'm usually a fan of carnitas or pollo in my sandwich, but carne asada sounded best today. The ingredients were stuffed into one of the biggest bolillo rolls I've seen, with plenty of steak, lettuce, tomato, mayo, and sliced jalapeno ($8.99). The roll was soft and crusty, the meat was tender, and the complete combination made for a sandwich I'd definitely want to repeat. We cut it into sections and there was plenty to go around. Speaking of plenty to go around, a grande order of albondigas soup was easily enough to share amongst four hungry folk ($8.99). Many local variants of this meatball and vegetable classic consist of potato, carrot, onion, and zucchini, with variation here and there. This 32oz serving featured huge chunks of carrot, potato, chayote squash, and six large meatballs, served with a stack of housemade white corn tortillas. The seasoning in the broth and balls were very complimentary and the veggies were cooked just right. A very hearty, meaty, comfort food dish. Also featuring--made fresh daily--housemade tortillas, an order of six street tacos, one for each available meat ($1.49 each, $1 on Fridays). Stuffed with plenty of meat, onion, and cilantro, they were served with extra onion, cilantro, and several lime wedges on the side. Meats included steak, slow-cooked pork, marinated pork, chicken, beef head, and beef tongue. Both pork tacos were good, but the flavor of the marinated pig was best. The chicken was a little dry, and the beef head was on the fatty side, but neither was lacking in flavor. If you're a lover of tongue, this is a place to try. Excellent lengua taco both in texture and flavor. I could get very full very fast on a Friday visit. A pair of chicharron pupusas made me sad, only because I regretted not having purchased more ($2.50 each, $1.25 on Mondays). The seasoned pork and cheese filling was ample, and the texture was right in the Goldilocks zone between being too soft or too crisp. With the addition of mild tomato salsa and above average curtido, they were just right. The lightly fermented slaw was of particular note. The shredded cabbage, carrot, and onion were joined by small slices of mild chile, an addition that made it extra special. There are quite a few places I like for pupusas, but I'd return to this shop just for the extra yummy curtido. read more

Ran into sevies next door and saw this cute lil place. Figured it was destiny and I ordered some papusas to go. Teh lady at the counter was friendly and told me it would be about 7 minutes. All in all I think I waited over 10 minutes for my order, seemed a bit long considering I had been the only one in the place. By the time my order was up there was a small crowd waiting for their food. I don't live too far from the place and I was quite pleased that my dinner was still piping hot when I got home. The papusas were super tasty - definitely worth going back for. The salsa that came with them was a great compliment. The rice and benas were eh, I took a bite of each and left it at that. I'm excited to explore the rest of the menu and I'll probably make this my tortilla shop from now on too! Yay for happening upon a great new Panaderia. read more

This is exactly why I love Yelp. I have been driving down Wells and past Panaderia Las Palomas everyday the past few months and hadn't even noticed it before! When I saw they made fresh torillas, I had to stop by for lunch. It was approximately 2pm on a Wednesday and only one other person there ordering. The menu is very simple but has the necessities. Prices are excellent. For some reason, I ended up ordering a torta and tried a pepusa for the first time. Totally a fan of the pepusa! I got the bean and cheese. It was ooey gooey deliciousness. Next time I stop by I would pass on the torta and get tacos and pepusas. I also ordered a horchata but was not a fan as it was a bit too chalky. read more

Cute little panaderia. The pastries are delicious and the price is great. I bought 5 pastries for around $5. People were helpful and friendly. I will for sure come back to try some of the entrees (especially the menudo) and for more pastries read more

Panaderia Las Palomas - Delicious pastries! 5 for around $5 - Mexican Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I was sooo excited to try out this spot since it had raving reviews on Yelp but I was disappointed. The food was bland and after me and my boss ate the food we both felt weird. We got the Taco platter and my chicken taco was slimy and pretty suspect. The carne asada was a bit tough and greasy. Honestly, I would not come back. I even got some Pan Dulce and it tasted a few days old. Which was another disappointment. My tummy hurts now. read more

I tried going here a couple times after my initial review, and noticed that the meat wasn't up to the quality of the previous visits. I think if you go later in the day, the meat is re-grilled to heat it up, because the pork al pastor that had been tender when I ordered it in the morning, was pretty tough and chewy when I went at night. The flavor was still OK though. The bread is still awesome because it's baked on site. I asked the owner what the "duro" is, it's like a small taco salad bowl type thing with meat and toppings in it. He gave me a piece of the shell--it was similar to a rice cake, very light and airy--same stuff that I've had in some Mexican chips or cracker type things. I don't know if I'd like a whole slab of it though, not sure how well it would go with the other flavors. So I think the trick here is to go early in the day, it'll pay off because you're getting more freshly cooked meat. read more

Wonderful, authentic and friendly staff. They put a carne asada burrito together for me with all the fixings to go. We have okay taquerias in Sacramento, but I have yet to find one that doesn't overdo ingredients with salt or fatty carne meat. We'll definitely come back!! read more

Four stars for the torta, which is a Mexican sandwich. Three stars for the pupusa, which is like a burrito made with a corn tortilla instead of flour. I usually stop by La Palomas for quick sweet snacks. They always seem to have fresh items. Some of the other panderias sell baked goods that are too old, but not here. I've been meaning to try the food. There's nine regular items on the menu plus they have some specials. They list tamales but they were out when I went in. So, being a bakery, I decided to get a torta since good bread is important to a good sandwich. And it was a good choice because they use a fresh baked roll. I got it with spicy pork and the meat was delicious, too. Just the right zing with the peppers, too. It didn't overwhelm the sandwich. I can see myself ordering these to go for lunch. They offer a bunch of difference fillings for the torta, including avocado. The pupusa may have been an excellent puposa. I just don't like them usually. The corn tortilla part was first rate. I didn't think much of the pork filling, though. I got a roll for dessert and as usual it was first rate. It's a simple place and I suspect most people get food to go. They have five small tables for people who want to eat in. read more

MMMMM fresh hand-made tortillas! I came here for a lunch date with MT, based on recommendations from yelp, and we were certainly not disappointed! I ordered 3 tacos (make sure to ask for the 3 taco plate with homemade tortillas). I had chorizo, carne asada and al pastor. The tortillas were delicious and larger than your average corn tortilla. They served 2 with each taco, but I only felt that I needed one. The chorizo was a little too salty for me but the carne asada and pastor were spot on. The carne asada was definitely my favorite! The tacos had a nice amount of meat on them, onions and cilantro, and were served with a mortar full of fresh salsa - yum! While I didn't have any pastries while I was there, there was an entire wall case full of them and boy did they look delicious! I highly recommend checking this place out. And a little insiders tip - there's a yummy little palateria (mexican ice cream shop) right next door! read more

Great local taco shop definitely recommend the carnitas taco. I tried a few others but the carnitas is the best.

I traveled out here from Cali so that my daughter could play in a soccer tourny, first thing I wanted to expierence is the home cooked mexican Taqueria/Panaderia Restaurants.... I found Las Palomas Bakery and ended up eating her both days and was no dissapointed at all.. You can't go wrong with the Pan Dulce or the Tortas, Sunday morning I a had a bowl of Menudo that was probably the best I've had , next to how my abulita would make it.. The two lady's who worked here were genuinely nice and really cared about the food they served. I can sit here and go on an on, but you really need to come here and expierence the food and watch the soccer game that plays on the old school T.V , that sits above the bakery rack read more

Wow. Tiny little hole in the wall place. Super friendly staff. Amazing reviews. Now I know why. Best enchiladas I've eaten in Reno so far. I watched them make tortillas in the back as I waited for my food. DIVINE. It's really special when everything is homemade like this. I have another level of appreciation for authentic Mexican food. Don't miss this place. read more

This place serves up world-class food on a consistent day-to-day basis. If you eat their spectacular burrito/pupusas/tacos on a Friday, you can and should expect just as good (if not better) burrito/pupusas/tacos the following Friday. The owners and staff cook like you are family, which is to say they cook to with the same magic that makes you wants seconds and thirds. Reno is privileged to have Las Palomas. read more

Delicious food and good service. This was a very good deal for lunch. I also picked up a few loaves of pan de muerto for a Dia de los Muertos ofrenda and it was lovely. I'll have to try the conchas next time I drop by. read more

My mother-in-law found this place when we were looking for menudo in the middle of the week, which is uncommon as most places only have it on the weekends. It was delicious! It is my fourth visit and I love it! Today I ordered a carne asada burrito, it has rice and beans and sour cream inside. It was exactly what I wanted. I don't speak Spanish and ordering was no problem. They are very friendly. read more

Hi everyone! Drop on by to this terrible bakery for old and dry bread that they failed to sell one or two days prior! No joke! Never going back and I do NOT recommend you take your chances! Take your money elsewhere! If I were to actually recommend a bakery that I haven't come across problems like this, it would be La Esperanza. Although, La Esperanza has sold me some semi-old bread, it's at least acceptable! This "Las Palomas" and "Panaderia Azteca" have no shame, much less pride in what they do selling people old dried up bread! read more

I really enjoyed the chile verde combo plate. The chile Verde was very lean with a really good flavor. I thought the generous serving of home-made tortillas were great. The rice and beans were really good, too. The staff were friendly and helpful. My second visit here. read more

Yummy food and reasonable prices! The bolillo here is delicious!! Carne asada is tender and so good.

don't bother ordering ahead or waiting in line. we called ahead of time so we can get our food quick and then leave since we have a limited lunch. as the man we about to ring us, some dude who happened to pop in came and told the guy checking us out his order and attended to him leaving us, who ordered ahead to continue waiting when we were next. plus the food was cold af and some parts weren't even cooked through. i saw cacaroch run from the kitchen then to underneath the display of sweet bread. DO NOT RECOMMEND read more

My husband was craving some menudo, so we came here trusting all the great reviews about this place. The food was meh. We each ordered menudo and some papusas - 3 chicharron. Our menudo came luke warm and lacked flavor. The papusas had some type of shredded meat in them - not chicharron which is what we ordered. We asked for flour tortillas with our menudo which we're definitely not handmade. We are so disappointed and we will not be trusting Yelp reviews from now on. read more

Came in here because I was in search to find a good Tres Leche cake for my Grandma's 72nd birthday. All I can say Grandma & the family loved the cake. Great customer service & loved that they contacted me about any confusion w/ detailing my grandma's cake. The bakery is amazing. read more

Loved the tacos de lengua.... homemade tortillas. The menudo is the bomb, reminds me of the Mexican one that I love.

I've only had one thing here, their chicken burrito. Omg, amazing flavor. Best chicken fried on a griddle I've tasted. Do if!

Stopped in for quick lunch and had some of the best tacos ever - go for #2 plate with homemade tortillas. The pollo was especially delish. Partner had papusas which were very good as well. Seems like a family run place, all were really friendly! read more

This is a delicious little hole in the wall of of Wells Avenue. Their tortas are to die for, especially the carnitas ones!

Best menudo in all of reno! We always stop here when we are in town. The tortillas are hand made and the salsa is amazing!

Had there menudo and it was ok not too much flavor the day I went though. The hand made tortillas were good though. Place is sort of small they have about 5 tables so not really a place to bring the whole family. Overall I liked the menudo and will go back from time to time :) read more

Great little Mexican bakery / restaurant on Wells Avenue that we just discovered. Friendly service and good tacos. They have beef, or pork. What makes the tacos special is the tortillas - well, no big surprise there, since they are a bakery! We really enjoyed it and can't wait to go back one morning to try their pastries! They sell a lot of their food packaged to go as well. read more

Really wanted a raspado, my first time checking out this place. Ordered a Piña colada raspada. It was so yummy, until I noticed little foreign pieces in it. Dismissed the 1st 2. I've worked in a restaurant, sadly & being realistic I get it. I just scooped them out. Then found a longer piece & touched it. It was SHARP, then found another, & a bunch of smaller pieces. Pieces were like metal. I was half way through it when I discovered this, so a little concerned about if I swallowed any. I took it back so that they can see & so that they can inspect their equipment. I don't want any one getting hurt. Lady there was very nice. She gave me my money back & thanked me. Said she'll look into it. Now I would of given 5 stars, the place was clean, friendly staff, & food looks good. But I just want people to know & to keep an eye out where ever you go to inspect your food. This could be honest mistake. I'm thinking it came from the ice machine. Hopefully they will correct this. read more

Panaderia Las Palomas - Mexican Near Me - Reno, Nevada

First time visiting there today and I got some of their sweet bread and I ordered 5 tacos del pastor. Once they were ready and picked up the first taco I felt the meat was cold so I felt it and I was right, cold meat on a hot tortilla. So I told one of the employees and after doing so she stuck her finger around my plate of food to feel around and proceed to tell me they weren't cold. After that I knew they were just gonna throw them in the microwave so I asked for a refund. Not sure if it was cause it was a slow Sunday but food should never be served like that especially after waiting. Now for the sweet bread, disappointing as well. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, or even decent food.. this is NOT the place. read more
