"I'm bummed to write a bad review for Paladar, because we started off really liking it, but have unfortunately had progressively worse experiences each visit.\n\nThe good: the menu is really promising, and we've really enjoyed a couple of entrees. I had a seafood special once that was great, and liked the huevos rancheros (and mimosas) at brunch. We also really enjoyed the empanadas appetizer. I'm a fan of the plantain chips. Service has always been pretty good.\n\nThe meh: while they have a fantastic rum menu, the drinks are never quite as exciting as I hope for. The mojitos aren't really muddled properly, and my husband's jalape\u00F1o paloma on our last visit tasted off. Drink prices are a little high all things considered, and it's a little ridiculous to ask $4.50 for a side of salsa. The chicken tinga tacos were interesting, but I've had better tacos elsewhere.\n\nThe bad: the last time we came for dinner, my husband ordered the Argentinian mixed grill, and the only redeeming quality was the chorizo-- the chicken was completely dry, the steak was burnt instead of medium rare, and the vegetables were overcooked as well. Based on this experience, and having had better luck with brunch in the past, we gave them one more shot for brunch, and both ordered the chorizo and egg breakfast tacos. Where was the chorizo?! After dissecting our tacos we each found maybe one small slice of chorizo spread across three tacos-- which meant they were mostly cabbage-and-burnt-egg tacos.\n\nTo use the Yelp cliche, I really want to like Paladar, but after giving them a few chances, I just don't."^^ .
