Las Palomas Restaurant & Bar

Not a terrible spot for authentic Mexican food, but there's definitely better options in Texas. Located in a strip mall, there's a ton of seating inside and offers an affordable menu of various Mexican dishes. I tried the steak fajitas and personally it was a bit underwhelming as I've had much better cooked beef at other Mexican places. The guacamole was delicious and super fresh, and the salsa + chips were a great way to start the meal. Service was also fast and friendly and accommodated our large group well.

Overpriced and not good. I ordered the steak salad and was shocked that it was hot steak warmed in a pan with sautéed vegetables poured over a cold salad. Could not bring myself to finish it. The steak was bland and tasted like it was boiled. I also ordered a cup of charro soup and it was served in a tiny cup for $6. It was just charro beans! I will not go there again. The sign said "authentic interior Mexican" but it crappy Westlake Tex Mex. The salsa was mostly Hunt's tomato sauce. Queso was standard.

Service was fine but the food alone is a no go for me. The tortillas were the plasticy type you get from school, the nacho cheese dip reminded me of something store bought. The cheese taco toppings was basic American, and the tres leches had a frosting on top of it that was off putting. Chips and guac was fine. The fajitas were fine. Just surprised with the details that completely threw me off.

Probably fancy for 1990 but nice clean and really do have great food. It's really an institution and longevity and consistency shows attention to detail. 3.5 rating is unwarranted. Jkk

A lovely experience! Was seated quickly, our server, Eddy, was very helpful and knowledgeable. Not too loud, great atmosphere, and the food was delicious! Highly recommend!

The patio was perfect for this Spring Break evening. The tables are far enough apart so you don't feel crowded. Our waiter was fantastic. I should have asked for his name. He recommended the Taquitos de Pollo- which were fantastic! We ordered margaritas which were also top notch!
The chips were fresh and the salsa was great. I will be back sooner rather than later. What a great hidden gem in Westlake.

I have been going to Las Palomas for decades. Food is always stellar and service is consistently dependable. Don't expect TexMex but interior Mexican at it's best. White rice is a fav of my Peruvian friends who insist it's just like home to them. The flexible indoor/outdoor seating makes it the perfect place for most any group. My family knows that's where we'll be for Mother's Day and my birthday as well. Unlike the others, Las Palomas TRULY has the best mole in town!

Service was good - chips and salsa fine but decided on burger - bun and fixing good but patty was preformed frozen - Not Good

Loved this palace! Seemed a bit pricey but the service made up for it. Came after being disappointed at a local restaurant. This definitely satisfied my hunger! I was surprised to get white rice at a Mexican restaurant but it was good. Beans were great and the salsa and chips too. I had a jalapeño margarita and my husband has the house margarita. Both were delicious. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because the steak was very gamy. I ate half of it and couldn't eat the other half I was just going to eat it just because. It was a decent size. I would not mind if the steak was half the size but better quality meat. I will definitely return and try other dishes. The restroom was very clean too and that's a big deal for me.

Had to go to Strait Music so I stopped in for lunch. Two people standing at the host stand just stared at me when I walked in...no greeting. I asked for a table for one and the hostess took me to a table, put the menu down and walked away without saying anything. I sat there for over five minutes watching a half dozen servers/hosts talking amongst themselves at the host stand or behind it. Nobody came to my table or even walked by and acknowledged my presence. I ended up walking out and getting lunch elsewhere.
