When I think of Texas I automatically think Tex-mex. And when I think Tex-mex I immediately think of fajitas. Just a month prior I had the most amazing experience with fajitas in Houston. So when I planned this trip to Austin, I tried searching for some great fajitas. I ultimately ended up here and was not a big fan. The fajitas in Austin do not compare to what I had in Houston. The service was a little slow, they weren't that busy and the food was just mediocre at best. We ordered their queso and it came with ground beef. They didn't have just queso on the menu. And we also ordered their chicken & beef fajitas. The queso was very watery and not thick how it's supposed to be. And the fajitas came in the middle us eating the queso. The chicken and beef were chopped small and mixed in with peppers and onions with cheese on the side. The flavor of the dish was good but nothing special. The cheese and lettuce on the side really though me off. Definitely won't be returning here.

A friend was visiting and had a hankering for Polvos. It was a Sunday and a perfect patio morning. It opened at 930 so we got there a bit after it opened. It was perfect timing. There were plenty of parking spaces and more than enough open tables for us to choose our spot. We had a dog with us and they provided dog bowls and water! :)We had the queso because...you have to get the queso! It's so good. Don't forget to visit the salsa bar inside to grab any salsas you may want. I ordered Huevos a La Mexicana and my friend got tacos. It was so good and our waiter was great. He took good care of us!

I came here Sunday evening with about 15 people. It was my first time ever and I enjoyed the food. The pitcher of margaritas was delicious too. I ordered to chicken tamales and they were only $6. What a deal and they were spicy too. Our server was friendly and checked back on us often. This was a very casual restaurant. The only thing that I didn't like was they wouldn't split the check.

Wow! Where to start? At the beginning, I guess . . .There were no menus, not even on request -- QR codes only. In 2024. There was also no wifi.I ordered tortilla soup, chicken fajitas, and a house margarita. The waiter came back and told me they were all out of tortilla soup (and also all out of caldo de res), so I went without.The margarita was weirdly bland, almost as if I had a cold and couldn't taste. It had very little lime flavor and none of the orange flavor (e.g., Cointreau or triple sec) that it should have had.The chicken fajitas looked burnt and were indeed very, very well-done. They came with onions. No red, yellow, or green bell peppers, just onions. That isn't actually fajitas!I bit down on a bone in the chicken. (See photo.)The beans came immersed in cloudy liquid bean juice. At first, I couldn't even see the actual beans; I thought they were my missing tortilla soup. Every forkful I ate I had to hold up for 5-10 seconds first, to let it drip-drain.Otherwise, the drinks (a paloma and a coconut margarita) and the food (tortillas, rice, guacamole, and sour cream) were okay. Not great, not bad.When the waiter brought the check, I saw a charge of $16 on it for the missing soup. I called this to his attention, and he pointed out that below the total was a subtraction of $16 for "spills." Okay, so they did actually charge me the correct amount, but the way it was done was confusing.With so many good Mexican restaurants in this town, I see no reason to go back.

Wonderful spot for happy hour! Our server was on top of everything and getting our food out so it's hot and fresh. Margaritas were good but they salsa bar was even better. I think they charge extra for the salsa bar too so be mindful of that (I give a lil side eye to Mexican food restaurants who charge for chips and salsa) but overall was good. We all agreed we'd return again!

Not impressed! Polvos has been one my favorite places to eat. Today I wasn't impressed with the waiter and food. 1) Waiter took my order and never came back. 2) I couldn't request a refill for water or Dr. Pepper, 2) Cold food, probably as it took 25 minutes for order to arrive or just sitting waiting to be delivered, 3) had to get my own To-Go box, 4) Had to find the waiter to request my bill. 5) Since food was cold I boxed it up and heated a home since I couldn't get any service. Great place to eat but it's losing its original quality of service and atmosphere.

Prices have gone up in the past few years for this atmosphere and ambience. Half lights out on the patio and all the cleaning products out in full view in the restroom.
