" Polvos has a fantastic salsa bar with a variety of choices that enhance any meal. I had the veggie fajitas, and they were pleasingly prepared. The atmosphere is lovely, although it felt slightly cramped during my visit. Overall, Polvos is worth trying for an authentic taste of Mexico. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a family dinner at Polvos and everyone left satisfied. The kids enjoyed the nachos, while I had the carne asada platter, which was incredibly flavorful! The handmade tortillas elevated every bite. However, service could use some improvement; we experienced a long wait for our food. Overall, would recommend it—just know they can get busy! " (*Curated Review*)

" Polvos knocked my socks off! The food was incredible. Tacos, enchiladas, and everything was authentically Mexican. I felt like I was back in Mexico. Wide variety of salsas to choose from too! The only letdown was the rather loud music; it made it hard to chat. Regardless, a must-try! " (*Curated Review*)

" Polvos is a hidden gem! The ambiance is energetic without being overwhelming, and the salsa bar is everything you'd hope it to be with a variety of flavorful options. I especially liked the chicken enchiladas; they were deliciously cheesy and rich. While the prices are a bit on the higher side, the quality of the food makes it worth it. Will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Polvos is lively and welcoming! The food is okay, nothing groundbreaking but good enough for returning. I had the soft tacos, which were nice. Service could be improved as it was slow and a bit inattentive. Still, I enjoyed the experience and ambiance. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had dinner at Polvos recently and everything was delicious! The guacamole could use a bit more seasoning, but it was still good. The fish tacos were fantastic, definitely one of the best I’ve had! The only issue I had was the noise level; it’s quite loud and makes conversation difficult. Overall, a solid spot for authentic Mexican cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was not impressed with my visit to Polvos last week. The waiter seemed overwhelmed, and it took ages just to get a drink order in. The food, while flavorful, felt overpriced for what you get. My carne asada was a bit overcooked too. I doubt I will return, as there are plenty of other Mexican restaurants to try out. " (*Curated Review*)
