Polvos Mexican Restaurant Barton Creek

This place is great, my boyfriend and I come here every few weeks and it gets tastier each time. Nice atmosphere, AMAZING self serve salsa bar with the best carrots mm, like honestly this place is underrated! I wouldn’t even change anything about each dish, even the beans are good!! Our server today was Victor and he was very personable, friendly and professional. Ps the churros unbelievable

Great and home Mexican cook food

I came to Polvos for an event. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was lively and welcoming. The food was incredible—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. The drinks? Even better. Every detail, from service to ambiance, made me feel right at home. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’ll definitely be coming back!

The lasagna reminded me of my trip to Italy.

An Amazing Experience — Above & Beyond Service!

We recently hosted our baby shower at Polvos, and I cannot say enough about how incredible the experience was! From start to finish, the staff was professional, attentive, and accommodating. They truly made us feel at home and helped make our event so special—going well beyond what we expected.

A special shoutout to our attendant, David, who was phenomenal to work with. He seamlessly coordinated with our outside vendor and was always one step ahead—constantly checking in, making sure we and our guests felt welcomed and cared for. The entire team was so polite, friendly, and eager to help with anything we needed.

The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was top-notch. The facilities were beautiful, clean, and well-organized—the decor even complemented our event theme perfectly.

What truly stood out was the genuine care and attention to detail: they brought out plates and utensils for our cakes without us even having to ask, offered knives to help us serve, and were always ready to lend a hand before we even realized we needed one.

I can’t thank the team at Polvos enough for making our celebration so memorable. Hands down, this was some of the best customer service I’ve experienced in a long time. We will definitely be back for future events. Highly recommend!

Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. This place is chronically understaffed, and the food is terrible, drinks are overpriced, and it is so slow. All the staff are doing their best, but whomever is responsible for scheduling is doing an awful job. Also the food and drinks are bad, and we got top shelf. Try Cheesecake Factory nearby. They have much better margaritas.

Nice and beautiful place to hang out with friends and family, customer service great very good food ?

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.

The food is good, but the service very bad. We arrived and the restaurant was practically alone. There were very few people. Our waitress took a long time to come to our table. To take the order anyway. He left us our food and never came to see what we were missing. We had to talk to him to get Kos to bring cookies and toast for my ceviche. To pay we had to get up from our table because she was sitting down.

The food was just ok. Salsas good but my meal, which included vegetables was very heavy mushrooms. Would not really assume mushrooms go with Mexican food or would not have ordered. Oh well, lesson learned.
