I've been to the Palomino about once a month. Service is always good. Food is consistent. And considering you're about 1 block away from Stephen Ave, the prices are reasonable.
My picks: poutine, fried pickles, garlic fries with a side of aioli, caesar and the burger. My only qualm is that I don't like any of the wines due to limited selection and they won't do corkage. I'd be happy to pay $20 or $25 to BYOB, but instead, I have to chug down something I don't like.
