What User likes about Las Palomas Restaurant-bar:
"This is our favorite authentic Central Mexican restaurant in Austin. We've lived in the area for almost 17 years, and they have the best chips and salsa around. The guacamole is excellent, and the margaritas are very good, along with many other standout items on the menu. If it weren't for that, we wouldn't be such regular patrons. The staff is friendly and always ready with great recommendations. Plus, the live music on Thursdays and Saturdays is a nice added touch.".

What User doesn't like about Las Palomas Restaurant-bar:
So disappointed with the food. Tortillas aren't made from scratch (but tacos cost $20 for 2). The beef was flavorless. The white rice was pointless. The beans were bland. It was $90 for 2 adults, 1 kid and no alcohol. Taco Bell would have been more satisfying. View all feedback.

The food here was absolutely awful. The ingredients were low quality and seemed very cheap. They even charge you for subpar chips and salsa. Everything tasted l...

This restaurant has a lovely ambiance, but to label it as Mexican food does a disservice to the vibrant and rich culture of Texas. The flavors were incredibly b...

I've been to Las Palomas many times and always have a good meal. The cochinita pibil (shredded pork) is very good.

We always enjoy dining at Palomas! The variety of foods, the attentiveness of the staff, and the inviting atmosphere make us want to return again and again.

Great people, delicious food, excellent service, and a fantastic atmosphere make this a wonderful place to enjoy amazing Tex-Mex and Mexican dishes and drinks.

Our family loves Las Palomas! Dependably good food in a pleasant atmosphere. And good margaritas, too! The combo that entertained was terrific!!

Las Palomas is always good. We have been visiting since it opened in the 1980s.

The only constructive criticism I have for the restaurant is that they overlooked my OpenTable reservation, where I specifically requested a table near the band...

We have loved Las Palomas for many years. However, we find the tables too small for four people, and the chairs are uncomfortable. Additionally, the noise level...

Good casual business lunch and dinner place, would recommend for something low-key.
