Polvos South has been a restaurant in Austin since the 90s. The atmosphere is cool and chill, with good service at times, though some found the service lacking and more like order-taking without much attention. The food receives mixed reviews. Many dishes are praised, including shrimp fajitas, rib-eye steak fajitas, fish fajitas, flautas, and enchiladas, which were described as awesome. The fresh flour tortillas and frozen margaritas with perfect texture are highlights. However, some found the food disappointing, with tacos described as drenched in sauce with questionable meat, and the queso was watery. The chicken & beef fajitas were chopped small with cheese and lettuce on the side, which was off-putting. Prices are a major concern, with many feeling the restaurant is overpriced. Shrimp fajitas cost $33 with only six shrimp, cocktails are $16-$21, and lunch for three people was almost $300. Hidden prices and an outrageously high bill left some customers feeling robbed. The parking lot is tiny.
