    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.

We visited around 5:00 PM on a Sunday and were pleasantly surprised to be seated immediately for a party of two without a reservation. The restaurant is huge, and despite being very busy, the service was efficient. We were seated in one of the back dining rooms and greeted with complimentary chips and salsa, both of which were delicious. The atmosphere was fantastic--packed with World Cup fans, with what felt like everyone wearing a soccer jersey. As fellow futebol fans, we loved the energy. Being from California, we're fortunate to have access to some excellent Mexican food, so we were a little hesitant about trying Tex-Mex. I ordered the chicken fajitas with flour tortillas and a passion fruit margarita. The chicken had a smoky flavor and a sauce that gave the dish a distinctly Texas-style twist. The flour tortillas were outstanding, and the refried beans and rice were just as enjoyable. The passion fruit margarita was also a standout and something I'd definitely order again. Overall, this was a great dining experience and a place I'd recommend for the atmosphere alone. The restaurant appears well-equipped to accommodate large groups, making it a great option for gatherings. Next time, I'd love to return with a bigger group and take advantage of one of their margarita pitchers!

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!

We were simply told to "sit on the bench and wait" with no effort made to make us feel welcome or comfortable while waiting for our table. When making the reservation, we specifically requested either a quiet table or seating at the bar. Despite this, we were seated at a small table between two particularly noisy groups. On one side was a family with three young children playing a loud game involving frequent shouting and slapping on the table. There was intermittent drumming which the parents were oblivious to. On the other side was a large group facing us engaged in very loud ongoing conversation. The result was an atmosphere that made it difficult to enjoy the meal. Service was also inconsistent. Our server offered chips to accompany the Tiradito but she never brought them. Overall, the evening was disappointing. Between the unwelcoming reception from the dour hostess, noisy seating arrangement and lapses in service, the experience was far from enjoyable. Could not wait to leave.
