The core reason for the success of Paloma Blanca Mexican Cuisine isn’t our cuisine or atmosphere – it’s our family of good people.  Many of us have been with the company since its inception, and yes, many of us are actually related to one another! 

Each of us takes pride in providing each guest with an exceptional experience by endeavoring to live up to the sign you’ll find in the back of the house:  Paloma Blanca practices the Golden Rule.  We will always work to treat our guests as we would want to be treated...

We're working to better our community.

Her management ability, work ethic, enthusiasm, and desire to keep improving Paloma Blanca's operations was evident early on.

Rómulo Mendoza also has a great history of advancement with Paloma Blanca. Born and raised in Veracruz, Mexico with his sister and our General Manager Nelly Mendoza Olsen, he initially worked for the company from 1999-2001 as a member of the wait staff. He returned in 2003 as a member of the wait staff, but became a floor manager almost immediately due to his attention to detail and winning rapport with our guests. Sharing his sister's enthusiasm and desire to constantly improve operations, he was quickly promoted again to Assistant General Manager in the Spring of 2004.  In addition to his management duties, Rómulo, an avid artist, is also responsible for all of Paloma Blanca’s special occasion & private function floral and décor designs, as well as for all out-of-house presentations and functions.
