Very disappointed with the quality of food and service. The server ignored our comments regarding our displeasure with a dish, and overcharged us for cocktails. With so many Austin restaurants to choose from, avoid this one.

One of my new favorite TexMex spots in Austin. Stopped by hear for a quick appetizer and chose the Choriqueso and was super thrilled to find out that it was fundido style. Highly recommend getting this and immediately stirring it up!

Food is expensive, bartender lady couldn't care less for her customers, she cranked up the Mexican music for her to dance while the customers shout at the top of their voices to hear each other.

I always come to pick up orders and they take forever to assist you at the front. Then they always say your order should be ready in 5 minutes and you end up waiting like 20. The staff is always gossiping amongst themselves and don't pay attention to their customers.

Waited for 45 minutes and never got my food. If you want to pay 2x for Mexican food—this is your place. $16 guacamole! And, if you want salsa with your chips, it’s an extra $4 | INSULTING! Oh, and the waitress behind the bar was in a constant mode of fidgeting with her phone— texting and chatting with someone.

Rarely would I rate a restaurant five star so this makes it worth every star. Happen to dine in here on Thursday night for a birthday and this place made it worth the night. Amazing service, uplifting atmosphere. We learned Thursday the place gets loud because a lot of college fraternities have their outings here.Definitely try their sea food protein option especially red snapper fish ?...The salsas at the bar seemed made fresh for the day. Very well balanced and flavourful.Rice and beans on the plate ? ...Oh! On a note their serving portions are good enough to share like family style. SoVegetarian options: Option available to select for most dishes

We had my nephews birthday party at Polvos Downtown Saturday and we all loved our food, drinks, atmosphere and Emmanuel!! He was so attentive, personable, and perfect! I highly recommend this restaurant and our server especially for large parties! I would give 10 stars if I could! Thank you all so much for making our special occasion so wonderful and we will definitely be back!! ❤️

I used to frequent the Polvos on S 1st every time I visited Austin because they had amazing food. I've noticed that since acquiring a following they have given up on quality and service while prices continue to increase. Also, as an FYI, they don't disclose the salsa bar upcharge.

Polvo's has been serving solid Mexican food in Austin since the late 1990s at their S 1st location and I've been going since they opened. Yet when I happen to be here in this downtown area and in need of food, I can't go wrong at this location. It has the same amazing salsa bar and fantastic house-made flour and corn tortillas -- which is the main reason we visit. This morning, just after the Thanksgiving holiday, we stopped in after shopping around the downtown area and had some ceviche and their amazing sauces and tortillas. The plus is they have both good indoor seating as well as outdoor seating that is lovely when the weather is nice. Service was kind as always and top-notch. Regular's tip: the street tacos are authentic perfection!

I miss the old Polvos :(The food decreased in value. Reservations required? Not at the Polvos I’ve been to in the past. I wish the menu didn’t change either.
