" Polvos nails it on the authentic front! The carne guisada was tender and well-seasoned, and I particularly appreciated the various salsas at the bar. A fantastic touch for anyone looking to enhance their meal. Though the restaurant was quite busy, we still received adequate service. Highly recommend for a taste of Mexico! " (*Curated Review*)

" From start to finish, my experience at Polvos was delightful. The chicken mole was divine, a perfect balance of spices. The staff was warm and friendly, attentive without being overbearing. The atmosphere was buzzing with energy, and I left with a full belly and a happy heart. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys good Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to Polvos several times, and the food is consistently good. Even my friends from out of town were impressed by how fresh everything tasted. The ambiance is fun and lively. Sometimes the waiting can be a bit long, but in the end, it's worth it for the quality of food. Just a heads up, it can get really packed! " (*Curated Review*)

" What can I say? Polvos has a charm that feels very much like a local diner with a heart. Their dishes remind me of my grandma's cooking, especially the enchiladas! The only thing that I find disappointing is the price of some items; they could be a little more reasonable. But still, the portions are generous, and the experience is delightful! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Polvos last Saturday, and I was impressed! The food was delicious, authentic, and the service was friendly. The portions were generous, and the atmosphere was vibrant; you can feel the energy in the air. Highly recommend trying their enchiladas! " (*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*)
