    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.

    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.

    One of the best Mexican food restaurants I have visited in the Houston area (Humble/Atascasita). The red salsa that came with the chips was served warm and both were very flavorful and not so spicy you couldn't enjoy it. Enchiladas were tender and the chicken inside was juicy and seasoned well. The fajitas were tender and sizzling when they arrived. Rice and beans were very good and the sopapillas were some of the best I've ever had. They were soft, tender, and slightly crispy. It was an explosion of tenders in your mouth! Service was friendly and playful. They make their flour tortillas in house! Definitely a spot we will visit again when we are in the area. They also have a patio that is pet friendly!!!!

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.

That made the experience even more meaningful. The food is consistently AMAZING, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the service goes above and beyond every single time. You can feel the love, pride, and genuine care that has been poured into this establishment.

The experience started poorly with the valet attendants, whom we found to be rude, dismissive, and very unprofessional. It was such an unpleasant first impression that my wife and I mentioned it to the hostess when we went inside. Unfortunately, things did not improve. The hostess seemed completely unconcerned about our experience and simply informed us that the wait for a table was approximately two hours. While deciding whether our party should wait or go elsewhere, I went to the bar to order a drink. After ordering, the bartender told me that if I was only having a drink, I needed to move. Apparently, sitting at the bar required ordering a meal. At that point, we had experienced enough. Between the unpleasant valet experience, the indifferent response at the hostess stand, the two-hour wait, and then being told I couldn't sit at the bar simply to have a drink while we decided what to do, the overall message was clear: we did not feel welcome here. My wife, the rest of our party, and I decided to leave and have dinner elsewhere. A busy restaurant is understandable. A long wait is understandable. What is much harder to understand is making prospective customers feel unwelcome at nearly every point of contact. Needless to say, this was an exceptionally disappointing experience, and we will not be returning.
