Las Palomas Restaurant & Bar

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 came to the restaurant with regulars who have frequented for years. They were concerned that their recommendation lived up to the hype. It far exceeded my expectations as the food was delicious and the service was exemplary. I highly recommend this restaurant.

I ate here through most of the 1980’s and early 1990’s and still return every time I visit ATX! This family operated restaurant has by far the most consistently delicious menu in the city. The Conchita Pibil is excellent, as are their mole chicken enchiladas, tacos, chips, guacamole and chicken consommé. I look forward to the quality and consistency of their menu whenever I am fortunate enough to dine there.

From the appetizer to dessert, delicious! I got the verde enchiladas and they come with rice and beans. The white rice was too good. The service was super great too. Our waitress was super nice and attentive and the owner, or manager, was friendly and caring. I highly recommend this place

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.

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.

The President of the University of Austin called Las Palomas "the best Mexican food in Austin." He may have been exaggerating, but you can't go wrong here. The enchiladas are excellent with great vegetarian options. If you like spicy, choose racheras. If you prefer milder, potosinas or spinach are both savory. Kitchen opens at 11am and closes at 2pm for lunch, then reopens for dinner.

10/10 experience & the new owner is so so so sweet!!
Love the happy hour menu & it’s the perfect spot for a girls day & margaritas 😜
Can’t wait to come back & I will forever scream on the rooftops to support this business!

An amazing live band on Wednesdays.....The Brew! The service and the food are excellent! And I would recommend sitting at the bar and having one of their unbelievable margaritas

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.

We eat here for lunch over and over. They have lunch specials that are a terrific value and down right delicious. Being a creature of habit, I always get the chicken consume, which is quality white meat with rice, cilantro and delicious broth. I could actually live on this soup alone for the rest of my life. Be sure to squeeze the lime on top. The cheese enchilada with verde sauce is served with rice and beans to complete my personally selected lunch combo. The chips are always hot and the salsa is very good. We love it for dinner too, especially on Wednesday’s when a jazz band plays.

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!

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.

The food and drinks are all amazing, but where Las Palomas stands out is with their amazing customer service.

We’ve been coming to Las Palomas for years - from date nights, to company holiday parties, and friend-reunions, they’ve always made us feel welcome and taken care of.

Highly, highly recommend!

Food was very good! Service was fast and they had a live band.

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!

Beautiful ambience! Warm attentive staff. Excellent service great food for over 39 years.
Music by the Brew every Wednesday night.

Stopped in for a late lunch with my wife, and really enjoyed the whole experience. We were a little dirty, but the staff was accomodating even so.
Empanadas were delicious.

Only ate the empanadas - it was an appetizer. They were delicious. The chips and salsa was very good. The service was great. Nice place with friendly people.
