Flavors of Palomino: Where Food Meets Soul

In Palomino, food isn’t just nourishment — it’s part of the rhythm of life. Between the ocean breeze, the sound of birds at sunrise, and the earthy scent of the Sierra Nevada, each restaurant here tells a story about community, creativity, and conscious living.

Here are some of our favorite spots that celebrate local ingredients, balance, and flavor.

GRACIAS VIDA


Gracias Vida is one of those places that feels like home from the moment you walk in. Nestled in Plaza Numen, it’s a colorful jungle-style café that celebrates plant-based living and tropical flavors.

The vibes you're looking for

Their brunch menu balances indulgence and nourishment: banana pancakes topped with cacao nibs, avocado toasts on artisanal bread, and our favorite — the Mango Matcha Smoothie, a tropical–oriental fusion that delivers both energy and freshness in every sip.

It’s also one of the best coworking spots in town, with its own power supply and high-speed Wi-Fi, making it a quiet refuge for digital nomads and remote workers.

Located slightly away from the buzz of 6th Street, it’s surrounded by palms and birdsong — plus, it’s home to a small Wellness Center and an IV Therapy studio for those looking to recharge body and mind.

The Mango Matcha Smoothie is an unexpected delight, perfect to start your day and the Nori Sandwich is both delicious and fullfilling.

SOY GYOZA


Soy Gyoza brings a taste of Asia to the tropics — with a Palomino twist. Their handmade dumplings, ramen bowls, and tempura vegetables are comfort food at its best, created with a focus on balance, depth, and simplicity.

On Point. And Straight to the Point.


Soy Gyoza doesn’t play around — the menu has just three stars: ramen, gyozas, and tempura. That’s all you need when every dish hits the mark.

The broth is the true star here — rich, aromatic, and slow-simmered for hours to capture layers of flavor that feel both grounding and light. Pair it with their perfectly crisp vegetable tempura, and you’ll understand why locals and travelers keep coming back night after night.

The open-air seating, bamboo details, and calm evening vibe make Soy Gyoza an ideal dinner spot after a day at the beach or a yoga session at sunset.

The Veggie Tempura is the best we've had and the ramen takes the cake. Kids really enjoy the food as well.
