La Paloma Mexican Restaurant has the BEST mexican food ever!  I should know, I'm a connoisseur of all Mexican foods.  I can tell you where to get the best enchiladas, the best flautas and the best salsa ever.  My husband says it's an obsession.  But back to the point - La Paloma is located in the beautiful (Yes, I live there) city of La Verne, California and has been family owned for 41 years!
