Very pleasant restaurant, had a nice dining experience on Valentine's Day. Sadly, our reservation was at 8:30 PM and we didn't get sat till 9:10 PM, so minor inconvenience. Other than that the staff were very friendly and food was delicious. They had a pre-selected 4-course menu for this day. ~ Soup ~- The caldo tlapeño was delicious 5/5. It came with rice and pieces of avocado. Nice soup to start off with. - The sopa poblana was good, but it need either pieces of chicken or something else to add that extra flavor. It was too much of the same flavor for a starting dish. 3.5/5 ~ Appetizers ~- The ceviche was good, not my favorite, I felt like it lacked a bit of flavor. 3/5- The mini tostadas were very good. Very small, but all had good flavor it was hard not to want more. They each have beans at the base and really stood out on their own. 5/5 ~ Entree ~- The redfish al limon, was very good. The rice was nice and soft. The veggies may have been a bit too soft. Really had a nice soft fish texture and the limon really stood out. 4/5 - The steak and shrimp al chimichurri was very good. It was great flavor and the rice was really good. The only downside was the steak wasn't cooked the way I wanted it and the veggies were very soggy. 4/5 ~ Dessert ~- Sopapilla was DELICIOUS. It was almost like a warm light cinnamon donut. The ice cream was a great pairs. 5/5 - The tres leches cake was decent. I really wanted the apple pie empanada but they had already run out. Overall great experience with this meal in addition they gave us a glass each of Prosecco. I did wish they were a bit more prepared for the volume they received, especially given that people made reservations and still had to wait a good minute before getting seated.

Added an extra star because the location was convenient and they had us seated quickly. Dropped in during Lunch time with a friend. We had a 3 year old and a 1 year old and requested high chairs. They brought the chairs over and that was about the extent that they either acknowledged the kids or weren't annoyed by their presence. We had to ask for kids menus (mind you, we have two) and they seem inconvenienced and just bring one. They take our drink orders and we have to call our server back and ask if the kids can also get some waters. I don't expect any special accommodations when I have kids with me but for a family friendly restaurant I do expect the kids to be seen as real people. We ordered a small queso and salsa/chips. Someone other than our server brought over those items but also brought guacamole and a third dipping sauce. I said "oh, I'm not sure we ordered all of this." She said "yes, you did." I know we didn't. She then grabs the extra items off the table and walks away in a huff. I hear her tell our server what happened and he clarifies to her "no, they just wanted the queso and salsa." It felt like we were being accused of some heinous crime of lying. The food was okay. A bit overpriced in my opinion for casual Mexican food lunch specials. I do wish when I am having Mexican food that it would be served with Mexican rice. They serve theirs with white rice. I had the chicken tostada which I actually really enjoyed. I had the tortilla soup, it was just broth and some crispy tortilla strips. Very bizarre and lacking. My child's food was decent, the quesadilla was good. As for authentic Mexican food, no. Just no. I'm first gen, I've traveled through most of Mexico. To say this is authentic is a far stretch. An attempt was made as it's not Tex-mex either. But, no. They seemed to be trying to rush us out by trying to clear our table far before we were ready. Our three year old had to speak up and tell the server she was still eating. We spend a lot of our days in this area as we live nearby and the kids activities are centered in the westlake area. There are too many options for food here, we will not be coming back.

Las Palomas Restaurant & Bar truly impressed me! We started with the Trio of Guacamole, Queso, and Salsa--each was fresh and bursting with authentic flavors. The Combo Fajitas were a highlight, with sizzling chicken and beef served on a hot skillet, accompanied by grilled onions, bell peppers, and all the classic sides. The Crispy Beef Tacos were perfectly seasoned, and the Tres Marias Enchiladas offered a delightful variety with mole, verde, and ranchera sauces.To top it off, we celebrated my granddaughter's birthday with their Tres Leches cake, which was heavenly. Every item we tried was delicious and fresh, showcasing the authenticity of Mexican cuisine.The ambiance was great, though we didn't get to enjoy the outdoor seating this time. The staff was friendly, attentive, and ensured the place was spotless. I highly recommend Las Palomas and can't wait to return to explore more of their menu!

We came here for dinner before movies at Barton Square Creek (4 min away from the mall).The Good: There is a lot of seating options (two dining halls, a cute patio outside, and even what seemed like a private dining room). The wait staff is extremely nice and attentive (I don't think we ever ran out of chips or salsa). They were also very accommodating - I swapped the mole enchilada in the combo for a ranchera one.The Not So Great: The food itself was unfortunately pretty bland. I had to revive my plate with plenty of salt and salsa. I would say of everything my table ordered (combination of enchiladas, tacos, the ceviche, and fajitas), the cochinita pibil was the best.

My family and I decided to get some food from Las Palomas. We ordered online and my husband picked it up. We got chips and salsa to share. The chips were crispy and the salsa was addicting. We also ordered an extra side of Charro Beans and Rice to share. I added my portion to my meal. As a starter we ordered the Nachos. They come with refried beans and cheese and we added shredded chicken. It came with pico, guacamole, and jalapenos on the side. The Nachos were good. The chips were a little soggy but the nachos were good. I am glad we added the shredded chicken because it was flavorful and made the nachos tasty. For my main meal I chose a steak rice bowl which has grilled beef tenderloin strips, grilled onions, and grilled bell peppers served on rice with an avocado tomatillo sauce and vinaigrette onions. I added some Charro beans and additional rice to my bowl. The bowl was tasty. There were plenty of tenderloin strips in the dish. What really gave the bowl flavor was the tomatillo sauce and the vinaigrette onions. They provided the flavor that was needed so that the bowl wouldn't taste bland. It was a good size, very filling, and enough for two servings. Overall a good place to order and pick up some flavorful food.
