| - I am unsure why I have not written a review about Palomino's earlier than today. Palomino's changed my food-loving life. Here's the story:
I was freshly 18, I had a cool older cousin, who has the same name as a very popular movie/book character. This unnamed cousin took me to Palomino's for a beer, and wings and other food. Being freshly 18 and intimidated by the east side of downtown, I was nervous. I had never had southern BBQ before. HOW HAD I NEVER HAD SOUTHERN BBQ BEFORE? This food was amazing. The smokiness over flowed in my mouth with every bight, up until this point chicken had been a vessel for BBQ sauce, but now who needed the sauce.
I remember my first bite into my pulled pork sandwich like it was 10 seconds ago. It was glorious and juicy, having just finished high school this made no sense to me, doesn't smoke just dry out the meat? NO! Oh it was glorious.
Okay, Now it is years later, I now almost exclusively hang out in the east side of downtown, and I am back at Palomino's. And it's still great. The Mac and Cheese with Pulled Pork/Brisket, so cheesy and glorious. Any of there meats on a bun. Any of there meats without a bun. Everything is great.
New Discovery: Bacon Wrapped Corn on the Cob. Try it. I think it's smoked, and it's fabulous.
