Fajitas are the centerpiece here, with a dedicated section of the menu running from classic beef and chicken to grilled fish and shrimp and a market-price ribeye, all delivered sizzling on a hot skillet alongside house-made flour tortillas. Every order comes with access to a salsa bar for mixing and matching sauces to taste.
The Downtown location is Polvo's newer build, distinct from the original on South 1st Street — a straighter-edged, less patio-driven room suited to the office and hotel crowd around Nueces Street. Regulars point to consistent food quality, generous portions, and the ceviche as a standout, alongside occasional inconsistency in service.
