    Las Palomas in my favorite Mexican Restaurant & favorite neighborhood restaurant. The margaritas are great and the chicken mole enchiladas are the best in town. Service was outstanding. When we were there, a jazz band was playing. The music was enjoyable & not too loud.

    La Palomas is our go-to place for real Mexican food in Austin! This visit lived up to our expectations, and the food was delicious. Our out of town guests loved it too.

    We love Las Paloma’s and look. Forward to our meals. Dave’s and the crew offer friendly service and the menu is quite extensive. The chips and salsa are among the best we’ve ever tasted, which says a lot. The margaritas and other cocktails are tasty and the FOOD is amazing. We love the mole, redfish prepared many ways and all types of other dishes.

    The only thing I can say that is constructively criticizing them, is “they did not read the open table reservation where I had requested to be near the band since I was associated with them”. They immediately tried to seat me in a back room until I mentioned that my reservation had requested to be in the main room where the band is. They did finally come around and seat me where I wished. If they couldn’t accommodate me, that would’ve been a different story, but not even a word was mentioned as they tried to see us in the back room. All was good.

    We love Las Palomas and have for many years. The tables are too small for 4 people and the chairs are uncomfortable. The noise level is awful. Our waiter could not hear us. I think a band is not necessary, just not enough space. We will come again!

    It is the Broaddus family’s favorite place. From its founders to their family that still runs it, the sumptuous recipes, responsive service, and welcoming atmosphere remain the same since its beginning over 30 years ago. It is our ‘go to’ place for our family and our out-of-town guests. West Lake Hills wouldn’t be the same without Las Palomas.

    Food and service are very good. The noise level, however, needs to be addressed…sound absorbing panels etc…very hard to hear your neighbors across the table. We have been going to Las Palmomas since 1985 …one of our favorites😁

    We were charged $2 for chips and salsa. All other Mexican restaurants it is free. No indication from wait staff that it was a charge. Also asked if we wanted avocado or guac with our veggie rice bowl. We said yes but not informed it was an additional $3 for each. These should be indicated to the customer.

    My favorite was the Chile Relleno, which was fabulous before COVID. I love the sweetness of the crystallized fruit and spices. Since then it has been losing flavor and Wednesday it was unacceptable. There was no crystallized fruit, only a couple of raisins and part of a pecan. The meat was bland as if no spice was added. I complained to our waitress, who was apologetic and said she would talk to the manager. She brought our bill and told us she removed the charge for our desserts. I asked to speak to the manager, she agreed to send him over. Andrew obviously did not want to talk to us but came to our table. I told him that it appears the recipe for the Chile Relleno has been changed or is not being followed. He said it's the same recipe. The chef who makes it has been here a year. Other cooks have been here longer. He insisted that I was wrong and he stood there shrugging his shoulders with his arms crossed. I only wanted him to agree to look into the problem. He continued to say there was no problem.

    My family and I have been coming to Las Palomas for nearly 20 years and, over the last couple of years, while the food remains consistent, the staff is not what it used to be and the entire restaurant is SO incredibly loud, unless you are sitting right next to someone at the table (not across from, but immediately next to) it is nearly impossible to have a conversation. The adults are loud, the children are loud and totally uncontrollable (and the staff does address it). I know it is a neighborhood restaurant, that is one of the things I love about it, but that doesn't mean folks cannot be respectful of the guests around them. Perhaps Las Palomas needs to invest in sound buffering, but I know from my many years of coming for dinner, something has changed and the restaurant used to be MUCH quieter and therefore much more enjoyable. Not sure I am going to come back, unfortunately.
