Las Palomas Restaurant-BarGreat food great service!Las Palomas has great food and the service is excellent!5/31/2013 12:00:00 AMShepherd LunchThey were very accommodating when we had to add to our reservation #. Great service as always.5/29/2013 12:00:00 AMInconsistent serviceOn previous visits, our servers were cheerful, friendly, and attentive. On this last occassion, our servier was sullen and inattentive. His attitude was like he had just lost a loved one.5/25/2013 12:00:00 AMInterior Mexican FoodWe celebrated my birthday with my favorite margarita and a couple of chef selections from the menu. Everything was perfect. If you haven't tried it, the Chicken with Pecan Sauce is delectable. And you can't beat the garlic shrimp plate. What a beautiful dining room!5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMFresh food on a great outdoor patioLas Palomas sells super fresh Mexican food and great drinks, and they have a wonderful outdoor patio that is shaded. My friend loved her ceviche and thought it was the best she had ever had. I had a fajita salad and the chicken was spicy and delicious and the salad was cheesy. Their house margaritas are a tad limey (sour more than sweet) and refreshing in the Texas heat. I'd definitely eat here again the next time I'm in Austin.5/14/2013 12:00:00 AMAnother star!We had the Mother's Day luncheon and it was terrific. The paella was great. We took about 20% of it home and had it for lunch the next day. Every bit of it delicious. The flan is the best in Austin. We are trying to get Mariecarmen to make paella a regular item for Saturday evenings.
Service started ab it slow, but then turned into the usual great service.
A fine experience; as was Valentine's Day; and as it always is.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMTried and TrueOur group was visiting Austin from out of town. We were looking for classic Mexican fare and Las Palomas did not disappoint. We were all very pleased with the quality of the food, the attention and enthusiasm from the wait staff and the comfortable dining environment. So many of the newer generation Mexican eateries are a full frontal assault on the senses. By contrast, Las Palomas presented a wide variety of delicious, classic Mexican ( not Tex-Mex ) dishes that satisfied without overwhelming. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and made us feel at home. We all commented that it was "just what we wanted" and we "wouldn't have changed a thing". This family owned restaurant has been getting it just right for over 30+ years.5/9/2013 12:00:00 AMLas Palomas is not a mexicanLas Palomas is not a mexican (tex-mex) restaurant that i thought it would be. It was excellent and with great staff,I will return....5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat meal with a good friend.I could go to this restaurant 5 nights a week, order something different each night and every meal would be great. it's a great neighborhood spot.5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMSo glad to have driven to itI had read that Las Palomas is a neighborhood gem, which is my favorite kind of restaurant. So, even though its not my neighborhood, we drove to eat there. LOVED it. SO glad we did. Everyone at the table had fantastic food. The service was top notch. I wish we lived closer we'd go every week. As it is, we'll be going back regardless.2/9/2013 12:00:00 AM
