Good food, pretty solid performance. I love Mexican food, this is on the fancy end of the spectrum. The ceviche tostadas are delicious, and the house salsa has really nice flavors with a good kick. Staff is VERY courteous and friendly. All dishes were very well done and high marks from everyone.
Service was great. My margarita was wonderful. The food however was disappointing. I've heard such wonderful things about this place. I ordered the seafood veracruzana and the fish was tilapia. It was horribly overbooked, so much so that the edges were so tough that I could cut them with a knife and they were inedible.
Best crispy beef tacos in Austin! They add queso to the well-flavored meat! They should be tried immediately, along with the creamy corn soup! And get a limeade! It is sparkilng and delicious!
First time eating here as my wife and I met up with her sister and husband for lunch. We had great service and the food was excellent. The Spicy El Mejor margarita was fantastic. The drinks are not the cheapest, but they also don't rip you off with cheap ingredients or a watered down, tasteless drink, either. Really one of the best margaritas I've ever had. Overall, a great first impression, and we'll go there again next time we're in town.
I’ll admit, my first time here was not remarkable. After giving it a second shot, my mind was changed for the better.
We had their classic Paloma’s combo, that had chicken, and Cochinita pibil with an enchilada. The fish tacos was also hearty and the tostadas were fresh. The chips and salsa was excellent as well, the chips were crispy and not greasy at all.
I loved every bit of being here. The food was exceptional, and i came in not being hungry. To be able to walk in and get hungry, is something not many places can accomplish. The drinks made it that much better.
My husband and I stopped for dinner after work and had the perfect unwinding experience! The ambience and service was top notch not to mention the deliciousness of the food! It's our new favorite hot spot!
I ordered chips and salsa to start ( the Chios where amazing). For main coarse I had grilled shrimp tacos they were delicious on point. I recommend it if in Austin, Texas.
Las Palomas is a delightful neighborhood gem. The food & atmosphere are consistently great. My favorite dishes are the chicken mole and also the ceviche tostadas. Our favorite evenings at Las Palomas are Thursdays and Saturdays when the band Seven plays great light jazz perfect for dinner conversations & entertainment. It’s great that we can always count on great food, atmosphere & music every Thursday & Saturday. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Our varsity football moms have lunch here every Friday during the season. They are always very hospitable. Ryan is the best server we have had BY FAR. He goes out of his way to explain everything and very gracious and helpful. Good food and beverages.
Down the road from an appointment I had in Austin the other day. Figured it was close, and I could compare Austin TexMex to San Antonio. The chips were extra crispy and were not a bit greasy. The salsa was balanced and on the spicy side for the “standard”. Typically I will ask for something spicier, but this did nicely. The mix fajitas were a balanced blend of meat, peppers and onions, the comal however was barely warm, let alone hot or sizzling. I also expected hand made corn tortillas and instead had machine made. The cheese, shredded lettuce and sour cream all seemed to be fresh, hand sliced and shredded. The sour cream a traditional thinner Mexican variety, which I use in my own cooking. Worth a visit, off balance if good and bad, but expensive at over $20/ guest for lunch. And in the end….San Antonio wins!
Fabulous Presentation and Great Tasting Dishes. My wife and her Cousin from Mexico City enjoyed the Ceviche Tostadas, while I thoroughly enjoyed the Avocado Tostadas. We all tasted & enjoyed the warm Chicken and Rice Broth Consome Soup as a starter. Leo was a First Class Waiter and was Efficient. We will definitely be back other family and friends. Highly Recommended.
Hidden gem in Austin! Real amazing mexican food, live band, and the Premium Margueritas were the best I’ve ever had. Such a great and cozy place!
