We are regulars here every week and it was very loud on Cinco De Mayo. Plus the guacamole looked like it had been prepped the day prior which is unusual for this genuine interior Mexican resturant.

Food was very good but a little pricey for the portion size. Loved everything except we needed to be moved outside as the inside had a band playing and it was too loud for the small space inside. We had to yell to just hear each other. But once we moved to the patio, we had a lovely experience

I brought 13 guests for a birthday party at 8:00 pm. We were the largest group in the restaurant. The manager would not give us separate checks. I think he blamed the computer software. I used to work in restaurants, this is hard to believe. Disappointing.

The service was relatively attentive, although the restaurant was not yet busy when we ate. My margarita came with no salt even though the paloma I had ordered previously had salt. You would expect the waiter to ask about salt, or assume that I wanted salt on the margarita since I had wanted it on the paloma. The food was just marginal. My son liked his shrimp bowl, but one of my mole enchiladas had chicken bone in the meat.

I had dinner with my grandson. I was seated right away. Everything was good. It was a little bit noisy in there. Between the music and a full house. My only complaint was that the chicken tostadas that I usually get had a lot of cheese or something just oozing on top of the toe status. It was not as tasty as it usually is.
Las Palomas Restaurant-BarResponded on 24 February 2022Thank you for your kind words! I'm sorry to hear your tostadas didn't live up to our usual standard but we promise to do better next time. Can't wait to see you again! Thanks!

service was great. food was awful. we paid $50 / person for a valentine's day. i am a vegetarian. when i got home i had to make myself dinner. servers were kind and nice. a mexican restaurant that doesn't even have chips and salsa and leaves their customers hungry is off my list. also feedback for opentable: unfortunately when reserved no one told us ordinary menu was not avaialble.
Las Palomas Restaurant-BarResponded on 24 February 2022I am sorry to hear you were not happy with your experience. We did offer a special menu on Valentine's Day that was listed and available through open table. It was a 3 course meal, including a prosecco toast. This is a yearly event for us as it is also our restaurant anniversary. I hope you will give us a second chance to show your our high quality. We also offer chips and salsa every other day of the year we are open.

The food was very bland, service was slow. Not many people at the restaurant when i was dining so no reason to be so slow. They charge a alcohol tax and the beers we ordered were literally close to being room temperature. Over all not a place id recommend.
Las Palomas Restaurant-BarResponded on 20 January 2022I am sorry to hear we did not live up to our own standards of 5 star service. We charge an alcohol tax because it is required by law in Texas to pay an alcohol tax .A tax at a rate of 8.25% is imposed on each alcoholic beverage sold, prepared, or served by a permittee. If you have any further concerns we can address please reach out to us at either info@laspalomasresaurant or 512-327-9889.
