The restaurant is beautiful and the service was attentive and kind. What shined the most however…read morewas the way they utilized their oven to sear their food. Their special Josper oven can get up to 1100 degrees Fahrenheit which allows them to quickly cook and sear their food. They capitalize on this unique oven by having the seared skin hold sauces and toppings. Their chicken had the skin nice and crispy which held the butter sauce on the meat. Obviously everything you would normally expect to be great was great, the cook of the meats, the side dishes, the salads, the drinks, but what really stood out was the creative utilization of searing food hot and fast. Our server Olivia was very personable, down to earth, and really helped us navigate the menu.

We ordered all the small plates but the caviar. Our favorites were the tuna tartar, the pulpo, chefs crudo and the shrimp. The sauce that the shrimp came in was delicious! We ended up taking the leftover sauce home. For main course I ordered the scallops and my husband ordered the halibut. Both dishes were fresh and seasoned perfectly. The sauces definitely brought everything together. For sides we ordered the plantains and carrots both were flavorful and amazing to eat. We will be back!

Service: 4/5: our waiter did a good job at checking on the table and taking our order on time. Nothing bad to point out. Food: 4/5: The food was better than what I expected. I ordered the stuffed chicken plate and I would order it again if I went back. The salsa that comes with the chips is a bit hot but so tasty. Definitely poured that on everything.

I thoroughly enjoyed my business trips to South America, particularly eating my way through…read moreColombia, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and beyond. It's challenging to replicate the same experience locally, as these restaurants lack access to the fresh, local ingredients that define their unique cuisine. Casa Colombia does a good job replicating a true Colombian dining experience. Their menu is extensive with some very interesting offerings. Scanning the dining room, I noticed that their portions are huge. We started with a shrimp cocktail, an empanada, and their version of a rum - mango martini. The small option for the shrimp cocktail was bountiful and easily shared. The housemade cocktail sauce was a perfect accompaniment. The empanada was a tad dry, but their spicy salsa sauce was a great addition. Our "martini" was sweet but very satisfying on a warm afternoon. We did want to try their ceviche, but they are using tilapia as their fish. Quality Seafood is not too far away, and I'm sure that they could offer a better-tasting white fish than plain ole tilapia. We split one of their house specials, the Bandeja Paisa Tipica. This is a traditional Colombian dish, and it is a meat lover's dream served on an oversized platter. Our platter arrived with a chorizo link, beef sirloin, rice, red beans with pork, a huge fried chicharrón, an arepa, a sweet plantain, a slice of avocado (well, there's the only healthy portion), and a fried egg on top. We struggled to eat about 70% of this feast. It's going to take a few visits to the gym to work off this lunch. Dis & Dat: Parking is a breeze as they have their own parking lot. They do offer a happy hour that begins at 3 PM. A definite 4-plus star experience.

This is a delicious pupusa spot. We were in the mood for pupusas and I found this spot on Yelp. We…read morewere super excited to come check it out and fortunately found a parking spot outside on a Sunday at lunchtime. It was pretty packed inside so a server had us wait outside on the porch until a table opened up. Soon after, we were seated and looked through the menu. We decided on two pupusas with a tamale to share. We got one revuelta and one chicharron & queso pupusa. The revuelta was hands down our favorite - the meat was so tender and it was amazingly flavorful. The chicharron & queso was good too but we would probably just get 2 revuelta orders next time. I was not too impressed by the tamale and next time would probably just order a third revuelta instead! Our server was kind and attentive throughout the meal. We mostly spoke in Spanish so would just be aware of that if you visit - would help to be able to place your order in Spanish! The room was moderately sized and good for either bigger or smaller groups. They had some really cute Salvadoran decor. I would certainly come back here when I'm next in Austin!

I couldn't not try all three, and they were each delicious in their own way. The curtido and salsa were the perfect accompaniment to cut the cheesiness of each pupusa, and to top it all off, they had passion fruit agua! I can't forget the chips and salsa... normally, I don't have any reason to write about either, but the chips were fresh and the salsa was really unique, chunky, mildly spicy, and extremely flavorful. I had to add some on top of my pupusas as well! The service was fantastic - the food and drink came out in a very timely manner, and the server was super friendly, making sure that everything was delicious. The interior was very comfortable with booths, tables, and high tops. I really enjoyed Delmy's, and as it was my last stop before leaving Austin, I arrived home in Florida still full and with good memories of a final meal!

At least the food still pretty good, but dame it took for ever to get my food and it was only us and another customer here. Another thing that upset me personally I'm a diabetic and I drink Diet Coke, they told me they no longer serve diet drink here like what. So I had my son run next door to H-E-B and buy me 2. I would give it a 2 1/2 stars not 3 based on their service today and not having Diet Coke. I just feel like I can't come here anymore if they can't even accommodate me with something as small as a Diet Coke.

I will say it's nothing too fancy but you could definitely dress up a little for it. The staff were quick and gave great recs on what to order. The chorizo sausage was great! The provoleta was flavorful but it hardened pretty quickly, so make sure you eat it fast. The empanadas were the star of the show. I would definitely recommend the chicken and spinach cheese ones. The ground beef empanada was good, but I wasn't a fan of the olives. Def just be a me thing. I was really excited for the gnocchi but they served it last and I was beyond stuffed by then. I'd probably ask for everything to come out at once next time. The gnocchi was also completely different from what I've had before. I probably wouldn't order it again, but it was fun to try. Solid drink selection too!

It might look really shady at the corner of a Major Brand Gas station, but I've been back here regularly. They have items such as breakfast tacos, regular tacos, tortas, and enchiladas. If you really want something different, try the tajadas con carne molida. These are fried plantain chips (tastes just like potatoes) with ground beef, cut up cabbage, and sauces piled on top. Mmm, my favorite! Definitely delicioso! Cash only, and they don't seem to notice you until you speak up. They also speak very limited English!

The steak was cooked medium rare, just the way I like it. It paired perfectly with the fluffy white rice, veggies, farofa, and of course, the fried egg. It was my first time eating farofa, and I enjoyed the added texture (almost couscous-like). The staff was also incredibly friendly! The only thing to note is that the pricing has changed quite heavily. On Yelp, you'll find that many of the menu images show the Picanha Grelhada to be around $14-$16; however, the current price is around $20. Enjoyed the food, but it admittedly is a slightly steep price for the portion size. Overall, a great area with lots of seating and parking available. Would definitely recommend.

Upon looking at their reviews it seemed like they were known for their strawberry matcha latte, so even being a typical coffee drinker, I opted to step out of my comfort zone. Usually matcha drinks sound gimmicky and easily overplayed with recent popularity, but having the strawberry matcha here was the best decision I made! I could not have anticipated such a perfectly balanced flavor. The strawberry jam is made in house and they don't skimp on the quality of their matcha. Loved it a little too much I visited Rockman for the remainder of my trip to order this one drink lol. My husband stuck to his iced americano but even that was perfectly enjoyable. Will most definitely be back here for our future Austin visits as the drinks here are our new staple.
