Polvo's

2004 S. First, 441-5446

Daily, 7am-10pm

Located on the South First Mexican Food Mile in a building that once housed both the legendary Jalapeno Charlie's and Seis Salsas, Polvo's has a great location and some good cooking karma going for it. They've developed a very loyal happy hour clientele, many of whom are partial to the frosty margaritas and the definitive tacos al pastor, cubes of marinated pork served with fresh tortillas, chopped fresh onion, and cilantro and lime.
