Palomino is fantastic! Great food choices with big portions — everything we’ve tried has been delicious and fresh. The restaurant is clean, and the atmosphere feels welcoming. The staff is super friendly, fast, and really on top of things. Such a great spot for Mexican breakfast… highly recommend! (Full bar available at breakfast, with mimosa flights!!)

First time hear and would absolutely come back. Great environment and positive vibe inside. Service was prompt, friendly, and welcoming. Chips and salsa was immediately served along with any drinks. The price point was excellent and I was full for less than $10. The chorizo was EXCELLENT. I am coming back for the tres leches pancakes! Absolute recommend frequenting the establishment.

I stoped at this new breakfast location for the first time a few months ago and I haven’t stopped coming back since, I got the El caballito and it was amazing. I grew up eating chilaquiles and this tasted like something my mother made at home and I happy about how fast the food was served and how polite and helpful the server was, I believe his name was junior . He took the time to explain what some the dishes and thanks to his recommendation I found my favorite brunch.

Went in for the first time today after hearing great reviews! Drove 45 minutes. Junior and Brian were excellent servers, and were so friendly and kind. I had the Birria tacos and Chicken sopes. I’ll 100% be back and will be bringing friends <3

OK Hampstead we finally have a breakfast place open on Mondays. Great breakfast meals, eggs cooked to order. The chorizo and eggs were excellent. The beans were clearly homemade and delicious. Try the specialty coffee called 'Cafe de Olla' it's got an amazing flavor perfect as a breakfast coffee. Pancakes amazing!
