I went to my friends campaign event at Cuba 512, known for traditional Cuban cuisine. They had a…read morelarge room that was reserved for the event separate from the dining area. I started with the Margarita on the rocks from the happy hour menu. It was made from scratch with tequila, triple sec, fresh lime, and cane sugar. I added mango flavor and tajin. The event ordered the Tropical Ceviche for the table with fresh fish cured in lime, with cilantro, avocado and onions. It was served with plantain chips. The flavors in this ceviche were so balanced and light. I was blown away on how much I enjoyed this. For my entree, I ordered Lechón Asado the most traditional Cuban dish. It is pulled pork marinated with Cuban Mojo criollo and slowly oven roasted. It was served with your choice of beans, rice and plantain. I went with the black beans, white rice and Yucca con Mojo. You can taste the citrus, garlic, and slow-roasted depth in every bite. It was juicy without being heavy and felt authentically prepared. The portion was generous, and everything on the plate complemented the pork beautifully. It felt comforting, well balanced, and thoughtfully executed. I did have an issue with slow service as far as receiving my food and one margarita I ordered was never delivered and I had to follow up on. Also my food was added to another person's check instead of on a separate check. However, these issues can be expected with a large event. It was a great location to host an event. If you're craving real Cuban flavors, Cuba 512 is a great choice.

Whether you're stopping in for lunch, dinner, or just a quick bite, this place delivers on every level. Highly recommend the food, the atmosphere, and the overall experience. If you're in the mood for delicious Cuban cuisine in Austin, Cuba512 should be at the top of your list!

Ambiance: 4/5: cute restaurant, with outdoor seating. We were sat as soon as we got there…read more Restaurant is next to a main road so sitting outside can be kind of noisy sometimes. 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. Unfortunately, we didnt order drinks so couldn't rate my experience with that. Overall good experience

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.

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!

I was really hungry and ate three, but two would've been more comfortable for a meal. It was $12 for the three.

We got 4 pupusas, a mix of revueltas, chicken and cheese, and pork and cheese. Honestly they were all great and I would recommend any of them. The toppings (salsa and veggie mix) were also very tasty. The platanos were also very good, but not sure it's worth the price compared to the value you get for the pupusas. The service was also nice and quick, and they have some outdoor seating that is fairly nice for a food truck. Absolutely recommended even if it's a drive... The pupusas were great and super affordable!

Pros: -Super cute interior and welcoming outside patio with vibrant art. -Nice parking lot and heart-shaped bike stands -Good Wi-Fi Neutral: -The language barrier is pretty rough. Almost every word I said was misinterpreted - which I can't really knock a place for, but my order came out incorrect. -Not much A/C circulating inside. It's not uncomfortable per say, but your face does get sweaty inside. Cons: -The staff do have a very "can't be bothered" attitude, which doesn't actually bother me too much. Maybe they would have given more attention if I spoke Spanish, lol. -I wanted to try one of the Pandebono or Pandeyuca but they were out of both :( and most of the other pastries, as it seemed. -The chicken empañadas ($6 for 2) were pretty tasty and filling, but were swimming in a puddle of grease. Overall, this spot has potential with a few tweaks, but I'm not sure I'd come back.

After having this on my Must Try list for the past three years, I was finally able to try Boteco,…read moreand it did not disappoint. I ordered the Picanha Grelhada. 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.

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.

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.

There's…read morepaid street parking but no lot for this place (or most in the area) so plan accordingly - the only day you don't have to pay is Sunday. The restaurant itself is sizable, when I came on a Sunday in March there was plenty of seating available. We came just for drinks, and my friend got a charcuterie board. The drink menu isn't particularly long, but I enjoyed the marg-like drink that I had. My friend got a Buenos Aires tea drink of sorts that he didn't really like, but it looked interesting. The charcuterie board was big! It was like $25 I think? And our server was attentive. Overall - I wasn't blown away by my experience here. It's a nice place, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come again. That said it's in a nice part of east Austin so pretty accessible, and worth a visit if you're nearby.
