Love! Hands down the best veggie quesadilla I’ve ever had. Salsa bar can’t be beat, gorgeous space inside & out and super friendly service. Highly recommend!

We got a flat and pulled over in their parking lot, and they took such good care of us while we waited for our roadside service. The Dr. Pepper was excellent, and our server, Amy was so sweet too.

We went at 4:30 on a Sunday. It’s usually easy to forget it’s there during the day, but we were starving after shopping and didn’t want to eat anything in the mall. We were blown away by the atmosphere and service, and the food was incredibly fresh and beautifully plated. Look, we both grew up in Austin and have been to the S 1st location a hundred times, and it doesn’t compare to our experience at the Capitol of TX location. Someone go whip that other one into shape, please. Nice job with this location We had the ceviche and guacamole to start, mahi tacos and red snapper for entrees.

Such good food and the salsa buffet is my favorite, they have about 4 different salsas to try. I had the street tacos and they were delicious! Adding on a Mexican martini was obviously extra but you get it in a shaker so it's worth the price!

It's a crime that Polvos doesn't have a 5 rating. From the moment we walked in to the moment we walked out... You could feel the energy in this place. It came through in the food, the music, and the team members waiting at the tables. I absolutely love this place. The taco bar is phenomenal and specifically the jalapeno salsa is delicious. I ordered the beef fajita quesadillas and they were delicious. When we return to town, we will be back.

My husband and I were looking for a breakfast place. By the time we actually made it out of the house it was more like lunch time. We came to Polvos in Barton Creek Square Mall because we saw it couple of times on our shopping trips to the Saturday farmer market. It was 11:30am when we came in and there were maybe three tables occupied. The waitress gave us a lunch menu (but later when we mentioned that we stumbled onto this place in search of breakfast she told us that they serve breakfast as well). We had ‘Cocktail Merisco’ and ‘Phalla’s salad with fajita chicken’ and both were very tasty. Our waitress, Miriam, was very courteous, checked on us couple of times, but was not overbearing. This unexpected find will be on our list of ‘to go to’ restaurants.

Started with a draft Modelo and a shot of Avion Reserva Cristalino and the Caldo de Pollo. Followed by the Steak Polvos (cooked medium). Caldo fresh, beer cold and Avion very smooth. Steak cooked perfect. They really knocked out of the park marinating out in Pico de Gallo. Servers Miriam and Olivia were excellent. Ensured my glass was full, food exceeded expectations, and if I needed anything. Top notch service. Amazing atmosphere. Great food. Cold beer.

We had a delightful lunch at Polvo's. The only thing I didn't care for was how spicy hot my enchiladas were. Everything else was great. I love when restaurants have nice silverware! Take a look!
