Paloma Negra | Restaurante Mexicano Lisboa — Restaurant in Lisbon

An Unforgettable Mexican Experience!

We visited a new Mexican restaurant near our home, and the experience was spectacular. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere embraced us with its warm decor, soft lighting, and Mexican music that perfectly complemented the vibrant decorations typical of Mexico.

The service was top-notch. A lady served us with a constant smile, thoroughly explaining the types of sauces and dressings that accompanied our dishes, adding an extra touch of warmth to our evening.

We started with oysters, beautifully presented in their shells, accompanied by a shot of tomato sauce with lemon and sesame oil. The presentation was impeccable, and the taste, excellent.

For the main courses, we opted for beef birria tacos and al pastor tacos. The birria tacos were a delight: tender, juicy meat bursting with flavor in every bite. The al pastor tacos were equally impressive; the combination of the meat with pineapple, cilantro, and dressings was spectacular.

The drinks were also outstanding. We ordered classic margaritas and a “Mexican Mule,” and both cocktails were so good that we gladly ordered another round. Finally, we ended the night with a tres leches cake for dessert, which had the perfect balance of sweetness and a flawless consistency.

As for the price, we found it very reasonable and affordable for the quality of the experience. This restaurant definitely earns a 10 out of 10. Highly recommended for any lover of good Mexican food!

Uma Experiência Mexicana Inesquecível!

Visitámos um novo restaurante mexicano perto de casa, e a experiência foi espetacular. Desde o momento em que entrámos, o ambiente acolheu-nos com a sua decoração calorosa, luz suave, e música mexicana que complementava perfeitamente as vibrantes decorações típicas do México.

O serviço foi de primeira qualidade. Uma senhora atendeu-nos com um sorriso constante, explicando detalhadamente os tipos de molhos e temperos que acompanhavam os nossos pratos, o que adicionou um toque extra de simpatia à nossa noite.

Começámos com ostras, lindamente apresentadas nas suas conchas, acompanhadas por um shot de molho de tomate com limão e óleo de sésamo. A apresentação foi impecável e o sabor, excelente.

Para os pratos principais, optámos por tacos birria de vaca e tacos al pastor. Os tacos birria foram uma delícia: carne tenra e suculenta, cheia de sabor em cada dentada. Os tacos al pastor foram igualmente impressionantes; a combinação da carne com o ananás, coentros e molhos foi espetacular.

As bebidas também se destacaram. Pedimos margaritas clássicas e um “Mexican Mule”, e ambos os cocktails estavam tão bons que repetimos com gosto. Finalmente, terminámos a noite com uma torta de três leites como sobremesa, que tinha o equilíbrio perfeito de doçura e uma consistência impecável.

Quanto ao preço, achámos muito razoável e acessível para a qualidade da experiência. Este restaurante merece definitivamente um 10 em 10. Altamente recomendável para qualquer amante da boa...

Oh my god! I sort of don't even want to leave an honest review in case it gets as popular as it deserves to be, and I can't get a table anymore! ;)

Incredibly awesome place. True Mexican food, made by people who understand not only Mexican cuisine but the culture too. It was almost like being back in Mexico, which is so very rare here in Europe and I miss it so much! Lovely, wonderful people working there. Tacos are absolutely authentic in taste and preparation. The menu isn't extensive but everything on it is fantastic.

Prices are phenomenal for the high quality of both the food and service. (And the very cool atmosphere.)

We loved it immediately so much that we came back every night until we left town. We cancelled reservations at other restaurants just to eat here some more.

Fabulous, amazing spot. I cannot...

The best Mexican food in Europe. Would give 6 stars if I could.

The food is insane. Pico de gallo and tortilla chips are authentic. Salsas on the side are a good pair with the chips and tacos. The gordita was great. Aguachile is delicous and refreshing with just enough acidity. The tacos were as good or better as the ones you find on the streets of Mexico City. The michelada was great, and finding horchata in Europe was an actual godsend. Lastly, the tres leches is a requirement to end your meal.

Service was amazing. We came in with a party of 5 and got told it would be 30 minutes wait. We decided to wait, and not even 3 minutes later we were seated on tables they brought out from the back. They food came out within 5 minutes of ordering.

I cannot recommend this place enough, it was so good it almost...
