The waitress I had was amazing. She is super energetic/lively and constantly called me and my friend 'papasitos' (which I learned means 'handsome'). Then you get into the food and there's deceptively alot there. I ate all of the house special with chorizo (~19.99) with a house margarita (happy hour 8) and I had to take a nap afterwards despite pots of coffee. Everything was delicious! read more

Casa Colombia - Bandeja Paisa - Colombian Near Me - Austin, Texas

This place is so authentic and delicous. Portions are huge. They play great music and the staff is amazing. Prices are so affordable. I did feel like I was in Antioquia with friends. From the minute you walk in you are greeted by two wonderfully helpful and smiling young ladies. Our waitress Mariella was the best. Great service so attentive and friendly, made me feel like I was being helped by my own mom. The bandeja paisa was delicious and so authentic, so was the pollo empanizado (huge piece) and the natural juices are so fresh and delightful. Great authentic desserts as well. Flan, arrequipe, platanos is and more read more

Casa Colombia - The bandeja paisa was delicious and so authentic - Colombian Near Me - Austin, Texas

the service is ok, can't tell the same for the food it was kind mediocre, could be way better and tasteful , the place is a little dark I'll recommend to add more lights, I was sit beside another couple and it was a old lady who was struggling reading the menu because the light is so bad. the thing that made me feel disgusted an a little bit was the "chicharron", it was hard, dry and not properly cooked on the skin, not something that I want to repeat again read more

Went this past Saturday night and we were so glad we made a reservation ahead of time - this place was packed and had a line waiting to get in, and for good cause! The food was absolutely delicious - I had the Bandeja Paisa and my husband had the Bandeja Tipica & Antioqueña. VERY generous portions and packed with flavor. If you are in search of authentic Colombian food, this is the place. Service was a little slow, but then again it was a packed Saturday night, and their staff was super friendly and very hospitable. read more

Quick disclaimer. I've been to this restaurant twice. The second time was to see the World Cup match Colombia vs. England and it was a horrible experience. A little bit about the food, I feel that Casa Colombia gets away with the fact that it is the only Colombian restaurant in Austin. Their food is pretty good but definitely not the best. I'm from Miami and we definitely don't lack Colombian food down there so this restaurant would definitely not survive down there. I feel that they try to cater to all regions of Colombia but fail to exceed in one region. The most popular plate is the bandeja Paisa and it was really good.Their arepas are okay but I've definitely had better in other places. The one thing that really bums me out is that they don't have any Colombian beers. I strongly feel that if you open a restaurant from any country, you should carry at least one or two of their beers. No Club Colombia or Aguila anywhere to be found. But I will give it to them they do have aguardiente aka Guarro and red and the blue top. If there's one thing I thought I wouldn't be able to find in Texas was aguardiente antioqueño. As far as the soccer match. You had four years to plan this event around a team that did so well in the 2014 World Cup. If I own the restaurant I would have definitely done it different. First off the game was in English, huge disappointment. It was a Colombian game for Christ's sake. I was so bored that I took it upon myself to unplug the speaker and plug the Aux to my phone and play some Colombian music during halftime. I went to watch the Mexico vs Brazil game at takoba on East 6th and that place knows how to show a game. Music during halftime and after the game and the people going crazy. But I can't blame them there's a ton of Mexican fans in Texas. Also, whoever heard of taking reservations for such a big event. I've tried to go to every single bar for every single country that has played and not one has ever taken reservations. It's all on the first come first serve basis. We're forced to sit outside in the extremely hot heat and no one was happy about that. Really? when we got there there was no one in the restaurant and they told us that all the seats were reserved. That actually made me change my rating. Seriously, you have four years to plan Qatar 2022. Please make sure that you get it right for that one. You're a Colombian restaurant for Christ's sake, act like it and be more lively. Don't take yourself too serious. I gave them two stars because the waitress was really nice and the bandeja Paisa was pretty good the waitress even bought me a beer. She deserves five stars. read more

Casa Colombia - Colombian Near Me - Austin, Texas

We have been coming here for many years. But the last 2 times we have tried to order the ceviche and we were told both times the cook did not want to cook it. As well as waiting 30 minutes to just receive a beer and never received it. Waiter ignored us for the whole time. But when we went to the front and asked to see the manager he showed up to make us pay. I guess that's the only way to get attention now. Was once our favorite restaurant is now a place we will never visit again read more

I went to Casa Colombia and Mrs. Mariella served us, very friendly and everything until it was time to pay, we were giving her 10 as a tip (a tip is not supposed to be an obligation) and she got upset because we didn't give her 18 dollars , because that day he had gone, which is not my fault, and he also said something rude referring to the mochas, I have gone twice, and both times he said something rude, and there were children present. read more

Ay Dios mio hahah now this is how you do it. From fried plantains to bistek picado, this is for my Caribbean people, my Cuban people, Venezuela, Colombia and Panama. For those that miss yuca frita and empanadas. We love our tex-mex in Texas but if you've not checked these folks out, you are definitely missing out!!! Order online and get there early because they do get very packed and rightfully so! read more

The wait was not too long when I arrived, only one one group ahead of us, however the service was very slow and there was very little communication or interaction from the wait staff and those in line. There were tables available and properly social distanced, however it still took near 15 minutes to get seated. Once seated it seemed as though there were only two or three wait Staff and it took over 10 minutes for anyone to come and take our order. Once the order was in, the appetizer came out rather quickly and even before the drinks. The food was decent, though definitely not the greatest I've ever had. When I turned to leave I saw the line had grown to around 10 people either trying to get seated or pick up food, again with very little interaction from the wait staff. read more

The first red flag after we arrived was the fact that we were placed in between two tables with little space in between. While we were eating our empanadas the hostess asked us if we could stand up to move our table so the party that had just arrived could have more space. There were a few times the servers bumped into my boyfriend due to the lack of space. If you are expecting yummy crunchy empanadas with aji these empanadas are not for you. The rest of the food was alright. My boyfriend ordered the bistec and it came out a bit cold. The service was slow and I didn't have water for most of my meal. I'm giving it 3 stars because I just want to think it was a bad experience because it was a busy day. read more

Worst service ever and the food was not good at all. This is not true Colombian food or service.

My parents are Colombian and I grew up eating Colombian food at home, in NYC, and Miami. I recently moved here from Miami and I will tell you what they serve at this restaurant is not remotely close to tasting like anything authentic. The empanada with a potato filled item...they should have called this stuffed potato--edible but that is all I can say about that...restaurants are not around to just make edible food but better than I can make at home. The bandeja was not good either. The steak was hard, the chicharron was not cooked well. When making chicharron, in order for it to not taste like a pig smells you need to make sure you salt it well to cut this taste. It was not good. I will of course never go back and if you want great Colombian food do not bother to eat here. read more

We go over and over again, most frequently for takeout since it's close to home but eat-in as well. We are always super happy after our meal and isn't that what it's all about? The Aborrajado is insanely good. We also love the empanadas, the ropa vieja, pabellon, tamal valluno, and the tres leches cake. Consistently good and filling every time. read more

Oooooh this is some good eats! I got the ropa vieja for lunch and not only was it so much food, that was DELICIOUS...it was such a bargain. Made in a more traditional style with raisins and a vinegar-y sauce, it was served with white rice, two perfectly ripe and well cooked plantains, and a small side salad. The restaurant was pretty big, and we had a party of 5 or 6 for lunch and we didn't have to wait. They graciously made it so that all of our checks were separate, so there was no hassle. So many places grumble at that, but Casa Columbia just anticipated it and made the process so stress-free. The food came out fast and hot, and was so yummy. Many people were able to take leftovers home. I ended up eating all of mine and was full the rest of the day. read more

The food was delicious and authentic. Mariella was an incredible server, she was thoughtful and kind and playful. She made the experience for us. As a Colombiana, I loved their arepas and ban de bono. The arepas were tasty too! Will return when I'm craving yummy Colombian cuisine. read more

This was one of my favorite Colombian restaurant here in Austin, but in my last two visits the food is barely warm and tostones they're either hard or cold. The quality of the food has dropped drastically to the point I don't think I'm coming back. It breaks my heart because I always look forward coming to Austin to eat some good Colombian food. Hopefully the restaurant hears my cry and provides better quality of food and more attentive and friendly staff. read more

Open on the fourth of July! Start with the Ceviche Peruano, with its perfect tangy citrus flare, or Picada Colombiana, which is a little of everything! Both are delicious!

Everything was so tasty and delicious! They also have a patio and a bar! Come try some new flavors today! read more

Worst service I've experienced. Normally dont give one star but we were seated for 20 min before the server came by to take our order. Another 30 for drinks to be brought out which then had to wait 10 min again for our order to be taken. Apps came an hour after being seated and our food 2 hr later. He didnt even come back to check or offer water or explanation on the wait...we just sat and watch while others got their food before us. Didnt even have time to try the food since we had prior obligations that we expected to make on time. 2 stars for food since we had to reheat it. Train the staff as someone with no experience could have done 100% better. read more

We came here for date night! We decided to start with the ceviche, share the Bandeja Paisa, and end with the flan. Our service was good and our waiter always knew what to recommend. The ceviche was delicious and was a nice start to the meal. The portions here are outrageous. Would heavily recommend sharing dishes as they are so plentiful. They also have agua frescas here if you're not feeling alcohol (I like to eat my calories vs. drink them) and had a refreshing agua de pina with water. Highly recommend. My date was pretty impressed since this was my recommendation. We'll be back! read more

I got the Arroz con Pollo for lunch and it was pretty good. Nothing out of this world but I really liked the plantains.

Just ate lunch here for the first time. This place is amazing. Great atmosphere, staff, and of course, food. Try it. It's worth it.

I've gone to Casa Colombia for years, since they were closer to downtown. It was always quite good but it seems like as it gets older, it gets more amazing. Our late lunch today was mind blowing. We shared La Bandeja Paisa and the grilled veggie plate and it was fantastic. EVEN THE GRILLED VEGGIES WERE DELICIOUS. How often can you say grilled veggies we're as good as chicharrón? Here, they were. These two plates included the above, steak, red beans, black beans, yucca, plantains, avocado, arepa... so much awesome stuff you can't get many other places. Ask for the hot sauce; you don't want to miss it. A wonderful meal! Great service, delicious iced tea, and a fine caipirinha too. It occurred to us that we need to come here more often, and with the kids, since they have a kids menu. read more

We were excited to try this place, as it came highly recommended by several friends. However, we will not be coming back... We started by ordering a tequila neat and a classic gin martini, preferably with Bombay Sapphire. My husband's tequila came in a shot glass with salt on the rim that he had to wipe off. My "martini" did not have gin at all... It tasted like lemon Gatorade with tequila... or perhaps vodka? Who knows. On a salt-rimmed martini glass, and tons of olives. I sent it back, and what I got back was.... another Gatorade "martini" with salt. The third try was clear and didn't have salt on the rim, so I decided to keep it. I think it was still vodka, though, and it had tons of crushed ice. So, evidently, neither the waitress nor the bartender knew what "neat" or "gin martini" meant. Spoiler alert: Our bill actually charged us for a vodka martini. STRIKE 1. When our food arrived, the waitress accidentally spilled half of my husband's tequila glass. It was promptly wiped with his napkin, but not at all followed with a clean napkin or a replacement tequila. STRIKE 2. My husband ordered the Bandeja Paisa, which was alright. It came with a fried egg that was rubbery and overcooked (no delicious runny yolk to speak of) . I ordered the parrillada vegetariana, which according to the menu should have included portobella mushrooms and other veggies marinated in chimichurri. My dish didn't have the portobella mushrooms, the fried yucca was cold and not crispy at all, and there really was no chimichurri flavor to speak of. STRIKE 3. Note to Casa Colombia: When you claim you have a vegetarian dish, you should treat it as a golden (and cheap!) opportunity to shine. Anyone willing to pay $10+ for a plate of grilled vegetables claiming to include portobella mushrooms is expecting the portobella mushrooms to be the star of the dish, the "steak" of the plants. My dish last night was missing the "steak". We the vegetarians of the world bring forth global benefits for everyone, including meat eaters. Every piece of meat that we vegetarians don't eat is a piece of meat that a meat eater can enjoy. In return for that, I always expect a pat on the back in the form of deliciously elevated vegetables when I order a vegetarian dish from a restaurant. You missed a chance to shine with me last night. I pointed out to the waitress that my dish was missing a crucial part, and all she could offer is "I profusely apologize". NOT good enough! We should have gotten our meal compensated, given all the drink issues and my incomplete plate. But, honestly, after having to send back 2 martinis and never getting the drink I wanted in the first place, I was out of energy to request to speak to the manager. PS - My 2 teenagers can probably school your cook staff on how to properly fry an egg. read more

I am Colombian and have lived in New York, Miami, Albany and now Houston. For pure authenticity and quality this place is amongst the best Colombian restaurants in the USA. The service could be friendlier, which is a staple for Colombians, but the food is amazing. "La Bandeja Paisa" was just Wow. read more

Excellent food stuffed plantain and the special was delicious. I can't wait to come again

Hardy, meaty, and delicious. I give a thumbs up for the BANDEJA PAISA! And boy did I feel wonderfully stuffed afterwards. Come to think of it...I'm pretty sure I overate...by a lot... :X Not proud, but still so happy :D The meat was so yummy and soft. A scoop of that+ runny egg+beans+ avocado, and you have a happy tummy. Really hits the spot! Normally, I'm not the fondest of beans (maybe eat a scoop or two), but together this dish was balanced so nicely, beans included. The fried pork rind aka CHICHARRON is hands down off the hook!! Never had it like this before, but essentially it's like a crunchier version of bacon. Personally, I will order chicharron even if my dish doesn't come with it..because it's just that worth it. The waiter gave me mixed vibes. He seemed cool and chill, but he also made me feel like we were bothering him if we asked for something as easy as water refills... Beware: They are closed on Mondays, which is kind of an odd day to be closed. Just a heads up! read more

Been to Casa a couple times now and I gotta say, as a health-conscious vegetarian, I love the freshness of the 2 vegetarian dishes at this place.
