    Combo fajitas
    Kamron A.

    Was in town for work and saw good reviews for this place and was a 8 minute walk from the Courtyard hotel. Got the fajitas and they were delicious. Great service and good atmosphere. Prices are very fair! Definitely will come back!

    Stuffed avocado
    Tamieka B.

    This was just not our cup of tea. We were in the neighborhood and had about 2hours to burn, so we decided to come here. It's decorated like a typical Mexican restaurant with colorful decor; piñatas, sombreros, etc. We were promptly seated and given menus. We also received a red & green salsa with fresh chips. Waitstaff were very friendly and the food came out really, really quick. Entrees: fajita street tacos (best bite) Stuffed avocado w/ chicken Street tacos were good. They come with grilled veggies and plenty of cilantro, but the tortilla itself disintegrated while we're were eating them. The stuffed avocado was okay, not much flavor, just plenty of cheese. My main issue was with the queso. It was plastic looking and bland. Bill was less than 40 dollars, so this would be a great place for families with small kids. They also have free soft serve ice cream. We won't be back, but if you have kids, you should try them.

    Mahi Mahi tacos
    Arkadiusz S.

    Great spot for Mexican good. Full bar, nice size dinning area. The staff is very friendly. Food portions are big. Both the red and green salsa that comes with chips was good. My Mahi Mahi tacos were great and came with home made tortillas. There is plenty of parking in front of the restaurant but due to other businesses in the strip mall parking may be an issue.

    Great food, great prices. We had Las Palomas for lunch yesterday and I will definitely return. The prices for lunch were low and good value for what you paid. Our wait was long because we had a big group but they took care of us. The chips and salsa were so good, I filled up on them and had to eat my meal later.

    A gringo platter firstly only had a few pieces of meat for 17 bucks? Are u serious?

    Our server Veronica never came out to check on us at all ,she only came out to bring the food, and when she did we kept saying thank you and she wouldn't even look us in the eye or say anything just looked firm and mad. Ruined our experience. Not to mention there was like the smallest bits of pieces of meat in this plate. Not worth 16-17 bucks

    Good mojitos and portions! The wait is usually not too bad but the waiting area is a bit on the small side. Usually we get the fajitas for two and share and it's enough food. They offer a chicken and beef mix with six tortillas total. The staff is attentive but during Friday dinner it can get slower. The mojito is pretty good even though it's a little low on the mint but that seems typical in most places I've been to in Houston. The bar area is very small and doesn't usually seat people unless it's very busy. They do however have the soft serve ice cream machine.

    We're still adjusting from San Antonio TexMex to Houston TexMex food. While not quite as delicious as home, we find Las Palomas to be pretty close. The food is always great, servers are friendly, and the prices are very reasonable. We especially love the Saturday happy hour margaritas!

    Bill reflecting lack of Happy Hour pricing

    Terrible customer service experience. Came for margaritas on a Saturday during Happy Hour. Menu reflects $2 off all house margaritas (in photo). I did have to replace the mango margarita because there was a fruit fly in it. I didn't complain, as I know this can unintentionally happen. When the bill came the discount wasn't included. Spoke with the waitress and then the manager. They doubled down on it only including small house, and not large house margaritas (which the menu doesn't state). The manager acknowledged that the menu is misleading. When asked to make it right, she said no. I told her of my intention to leave a negative review to which she responded "go ahead". This was my 3rd visit to Las Palomas, and definitely my last. The absolute disregard and disrespect from the Las Palomas staff is inexcusable.

    Chips and salsa
    Smith Family O.

    Today is the first time I visited this location. A smaller establishment than the Woodforest location but just as good and friendly. Nice decor and homey. Today I tried the Presidente. Chicken topped with white cheese, rice, and salad. Very good and plentiful even though the shrimp could use some seasoning because it lacks flavor unless you mix it with salsa and add salt. Chips are always good as are their salsas. We were given to try a hotter salsa version that was good but the red fresh salsa is still my favorite. I recommend eating at either location. Staff is always friendly and food is always good. Nice, Clean restroom. Give them a try.

For drinks, my husband and our friends tried some of the margaritas from their large and unique margaritas menu, as well as their hibiscus agua fresca. All of the drinks were very pretty and it seemed like everyone enjoyed them, too! We started with their chips and salsa trio, which we all really liked. The chips were on the thicker side, but were crispy and not stale or chewy at all. Each of the salsas were quite different, and two were served warm, which we really liked! For the price, I'd consider getting the chips and salsa as a non-negotiable, honestly. For entrees, we tried the enchilada rojas, chilaquiles verde w/ chicken and beef, birria barbacoa ramen, and huaraches. My husband felt like his ramen could have included more meat, but aside from that everyone really enjoyed what they ordered. The highlight was probably the desserts, though! We got a quatro leches and two ordered of their giant and amazing churros. Both were incredibly tasty and reason enough to return for another visit in the future!

Service was remarkable and very friendly from the host to the cleaning staff. Food was delicious. I really appreciated the creative flavors that were inspired by authentic Mexican cuisine. Standouts were the guacamole and wagyu carne asada, but everything was fantastic. I loved the Clara cocktail and enjoyed learning about the process to create it. It is clear that there was care and attention behind each menu item. Also, the pace of the food being brought out was evenly paced, which I appreciate, and our server gave us just the right amount of attentiveness. We celebrated my husband's birthday here, and they sent out a tres leches with a candle on it. Very kind and very delicious dessert. Usually not a big fan of tres leches, but this one was not overwhelmingly soaked in condensed milk, and it has a very fresh tasting peach (seasonal) puree drizzled on top. We will most definitely return.

We ordered the breakfast burrito and the duck carnitas. We added barbacoa to the burrito, and it was honestly the definition of comfort food. It was EXTREMELY greasy though, so I ended up eating it with a fork and knife. If I had been home alone... I probably would've just shoved the whole thing in my mouth. I couldn't not order the duck carnitas. It came on a sope, which is basically my definition of the perfect Mexican brunch. It was really yummy, and I especially loved the salsa that came with it. My only real critique is that the portions felt a little on the smaller side. Either bump them up a bit or add a small side, because I definitely could've eaten a little more.
