I ordered the Picanha Grelhada from DoorDash and was thoroughly impressed! Good portion size, very tender and flavorful steak, the fried egg had a perfectly runny yolk, and the vinaigrette added a zingy contrast. Thought this was a good price for everything I was getting.

I loved boteco when I went! It's a food truck in a small food truck park on Barton springs road. The food is made quite fresh so you do have to wait but I think it's worth it. The meat in particular is FABULOUS quality. First time i went the workers were friendly and helpful too, and I was full after I ate what I ordered. Definitely planning to go back and try other things at some point~ I drove past it the other day and saw it is still there which made me think of it Still hoping the prices come down a bit, since when I went they were up from even the pics on their site (darn inflation, eh?)

Everything I've tried here has been absolutely jaw dropping. This should be number one on your list to try in Austin. The food is absolutely incredible and the owner is super kind. Located in the food truck park with parking which is awesome too. There are several other spots but trust me this is it!

If you never had picanha cut of steak this is probably the best way to experience it! Usually it is served at Brazilian steak houses and it is thinly sliced. Boteco serves it steak cut and it is amazing! We ordered the Picanha Grelhada and it did not disappoint. The Farofa is a unique flavoring to add to the steak and adds a different texture as well. Everything was tasty. The yuca fries are also a must!

We were really craving for Brazilian food and found this food truck. Asked for the Picanha and Feojada and oh my! Be prepared to experience a variety of flavors and textures! You won't regret it! You can order ahead as it takes a rough 15 mins over the weekend

Yuca Fries (Chimichurri Aioli, $5)- 4/5 stars, Coxinha (Chicken & Cream Cheese, $7)- 3.5/5 stars, Beef Pastel ($5), Cheese Pastel ($5)

Cute food truck serving up authentic Brazilian food, but the dishes I tried were very hit or miss. They weren't crazy busy around 2:15pm on a Sunday; however, they had sold out of their fresh juices by then. Sadly, they didn't have their Pão de Queijo Sandwich available in October 2021 (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=-PNpNxyA9bixix1ahmbZZA&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg), but hopefully it is now back on the menu. You order and pay first, and they call your name once your order is ready. We tried: -Yuca Fries (Chimichurri Aioli, $5), Coxinha (Chicken & Cream Cheese, $7), Beef Pastel/Empanada ($5), Cheese Pastel/Empanada ($5) [https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=GA3QhBV4z0VR17vxfNLjNw&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg]: The yuca fries were my favorite item out of the fried appetizer-y foods, and they were crispy, crunchy, and served piping hot- recommended! The cheese empanada was also really good- the crust was flaky and crispy, and the filling was nice and cheesy. The coxinha were solid, but the shredded chicken was a little dry. I wasn't a fan of the beef empanada since the filling was on the dry side. Their cilantro dipping sauce was delicious, and a must try with the appetizers. -Picanha Grelhada (Med-Rare Cap Top Sirloin Steak, Rice, Beans, Farofa, Vinaigrette, Fried Egg, Caramelized Onions, $17, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=v4pCmPSOmwwVfRU8rCwxEQ&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): I was super excited to try this dish, but thought it was just ok. The sirloin was tender, but not very flavorful. On the flip side, the beans and rice were overly salty. I wouldn't order this dish again, especially for the price. -Feijoada (Black Beans & Pork Stew, Rice, Farofa, Collard Greens, Oranges, $14, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=tiQt8AziJ-eAVy5wuu7ICA&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): I don't really like stews, and this dish definitely wasn't my style, so take this feedback with a grain of salt! The stew was too salty, and the pork was overcooked and on the dry side. My favorite part of this dish was actually the collard greens, which added a fresh bite to this dish. I wouldn't order this dish again. The staff here were so friendly and helpful, and I know we would've had a better experience with their pão de queijo sandwich and fresh fruit juices! Since this is a food truck, only outdoor seating is available. They have a few picnic tables set up with some shade; however, the unshaded areas get super hot during the summer months. Parking is also difficult to find in this area, but some street parking spots are available.

This is not what I expected!!! Never see a Brazilian pastel like this. The Coxinha was over fried and garlic bread steak sandwiches were over cooked also. Brazilian food truck that has no Brazilian working there so could not expect to eat the real deal!

It's been more than 2 years since I first visited Boteco, and I originally came with a friend who claims this is one of the best food trucks in Austin. At the time, I didn't think much about Boteco's food besides their prices are a bit steep for food truck food. It wasn't exactly a memorable experience that made me want to come back again. However, more recently, I was sitting in the lobby of my apartment building with my boyfriend and saw Guy Fieri's special on Food Network. He was watching another man cook in a food truck, and I exclaimed to my boyfriend that the food looked excellent and reminded me of Boteco (I originally went with my boyfriend and another acquaintance). He said that it was and Guy Fieri had come to Austin to do a food special with Boteco and its owner! I said that we had to go, and we did. The owner happened to be at the food truck that night (we went around an hour before closing), and we told him we came because we saw him on Food Network. He explained to us that Guy had come maybe 2 years prior and Foot Network doesn't inform him of when they release the footage. He said that he catered for Matthew McConaughey's wife's birthday party a few years back because she's Brazilian, and the couple loved the food so much that they befriended Boteco's owner. Matthew was even the person who recommended Boteco to Guy for his show, and the rest is history! I thought it was a really exciting and interesting story, and I'm really glad to have heard it directly from the owner himself. Let's start with the food! My boyfriend and I ordered yuca fries, traditional pork stew, and Feijoada. Everything came out pretty quickly and as you can see from the photos, the food is plated nicely as well. There are a lot of components to their main dishes, so I would recommend you mix the bowl before you take a large bite. Everything was cooked perfectly. The yuca fries are crispy, and the sauce is everything! It reminds me a little of the truffle fries sauce from Hopdoddy's. I definitely wish they gave you more of the sauce because I typically douse my food in sauce. I loved my beef dish. The meat is tender and a little bit tough, but there are some fatty parts to even out the texture. My boyfriend really liked his pork stew as well. I definitely would want to come again. It's on the pricier side (we spent about $50), but in my opinion, it's totally worth it. Next time, I want to order their mango juice and other fresh drinks.

Jake H.

Boteco, the Brazilian food truck on Barton Springs was delicious. I ordered the traditional Feijoada because it was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. If Guy orders it, I will too. For the record, I've had Feijoada previously so I'm not just getting what he ordered. Great flavors here and the covered picnic tables between the half dozen food trucks is a great spot to eat. I'll be back!

Matthew W.

Wow! What an experience! I ordered the yuca fries, the picanha grelhada, and a mango juice to drink. I loved every bite Let me start with the Yuca fries.. they were so thick and juicy and they paired extremely well with the sauce. All French fries should be this fresh and thick. The picanha grelhada was excellent and very good quality. Everything included with the bowl blended together extremely well and had a great flavor profile. Last but not least the mango juice was tasty and very fresh. Overall, I loved this spot and will be back soon.

Tony P.

I ordered on DoorDash so this is just a review for the food. I got the picanha grelhada which has rice, black beans, steak, onions, green onions, egg, and some kind of pickled veggies or radish. Great combination of flavors!

Picanha Grelhada (Left) & Feijoada (Right)

Anthony M.

I haven't really had Brazilian food before, aside from the meats at Fogo de Chao, so I came to visit Boteco to explore what else the cuisine has to offer. Feijoada is one dish I tried which features a sausage stew where the meat MELTS in your mouth pretty much. It was really tender and flavorful! The Picanha Grelhada is another that I got which comes with top sirloin. Both come with rice, beans, and farofa (Rice flour - unique in texture!). All in all, both were really refreshing to eat. I like how health conscious Latin American dishes are. Overall, I'm glad I got to try this out. Overall I would give them a 3.5/5 if I could. However, there was more to be desired from the beef and the size portion of the dish left me still hungry afterwards. They were featured by Guy Fieri's Diner's, Drive-In's, and Dive's too so they're worth at least one visit!

Bryhan A.

5/5 s Definitely an Austin gem! Everything on the menu is delicious Great vibe and staff. The place is a must try anytime you are in the area!

We came here because of the perfect score, and it did not disappoint. A few notes- they open at noon on Fridays. Exactly. If you eat early, do not come here surprised they are not open. Look at their open hours before going. We had no issues with free street parking on a Friday at lunch. It is a food truck, and if it is your first time here, just make sure you look at the directions. It is where it says it is on yelp, but there are only 2 other food trucks with it (not a huge truck yard). They have 1 entree to choose from - which was 4 stars for us. It comes with a vinegar based spicy sauce. The yucca fries are definitely 5 stars. The sauce that comes with the yucca fries are insanely good. Yummmm...yucca fries. The fresh squeezed mango fruit juice comes in a mason jar and is deliciously refreshing. I love the fact that they do not fill the jar with 80% ice and then give you 2 drops of fresh squeezed juice like hipster cafes. I digress.... The chocolate truffle is AWESOME. Do not let the name fool you into thinking that "oh I can get that anywhere". It is not like any other chocolate truffle you've had - and I have had a lot of sweets. There was plenty of seating. No umbrella / shade was up on our day of visit, but it wasn't bad. Lastly, the service is just phenomenal. I don't know if he was the owner, but just friendly as can be. Will definitely be back to try the other options. read more

You will have to eat here once to understand what the hype is all about. I got the pincanha special with egg, farofa, rice, beans, salsa and caramelized onions. The sunny-side-up was cooked perfectly, crispy at the bottom with runny yolk on top. The rice had a nice charcoal flavor from the steak, and tasted devilishly good with the yolk wrapping up grains of rice. The farofa had a garlicky flavor, and added a little pop as I bit into some red spicy thing (not sure what it was). The steak was to the rare side for me, so I ended up eating the more well-done sides and keeping the rest to take home. Fernando was super attentive and friendly. He came by several times to ask for feedback on the food and offered free samples. Honestly, who can say no to more delicious food (despite the fact that the food was already up my throat--the pincanha dish was HUGE). The food truck created some nice vibe with the music it played. Together with great service and superb food, this food truck is definitely worth a try! read more

This place absolutely blew our minds! My fiancé wanted to come here, but I was skeptical. The menu is small so I was unsure if I would find something I liked.... Low and behold I have never enjoyed a more delicious Brazilian meal! We started with a cheese empanadas which was AMAZING. It was cooked perfectly and so cheesy and delicious. The sauce that came with it was to die for. For our entree we got Picanha Grelhada steak rice bowl which is basically a flavor explosion in your mouth. The steak was cooked TO PERFECTION. I've never had such good steak from anywhere, let alone a food truck. The beans and rice and egg and all the flavors go so well together. I can't say enough good things about this place except you HAVE TO GO. Don't think twice, just go, and order one of everything. You'll thank me later. read more

I drove about 6 hours to get to Austin after a terribly grueling day and week, and I was exhausted and hangry and in a pretty irritable mood, and then I had my first bite of food from Boteco. And wow. I'm not sure if I've ever used the word foodgasm before in my life, but I use it now, and that first bite and every subsequent bite made that terrible drive totally worth it. They have a very limited menu, and only the one entree (which I cannot pronounce and am not even going to try and spell). But it is delicious! It's a medium rare steak on a bed of rice with beans and some kind of crunchy seasoning type thing. And I know it doesn't sound good, but it absolutely is. That steak is seared to perfection; it's juicy and still has that little bit of fatty on some of the pieces with the flecks of salt and Brazilian flavoring that just opens up your mouth to a whole world of color. And I hate beans, but those beans were so good mixed with the rice and the crunchy stuff and absolutely perfect for balancing out the incredibly flavorful meat. It's just such a delicious dish that I can understand why they don't even bother having other entrees on their menu. It really lets them perfect their steaks. Plus, they gave us some free yucca fries. Not sure why, but I am always a fan of free things, especially if the free thing ends up being the best yucca fry you have ever had in your life. Basically, this is a must try truck, and one of my new favorite go to places in Austin. read more

Food was good but way extremely overpriced. Coxinha (Chicken Croquette) - $7. which is a small snack is priced as a entire meal. I had the Picanha plate, which is good, but no where near worth $15. For $7 it would be good, but still nothing special. Overall I'm just disappointed in Yelp and all these bozo reviewers here saying this is a 4 and 5 star place. To get a decent meal for two you need to spend right around $40. For a food truck.. And the service was on the slow side. I've had better for way less and quicker. If you want to spend $20 a person on a food truck, this place is a 5 star. read more

The restaurant is nestled in a little corner and is super cute. The aesthetic is so unique and perfect for photos. Honestly, it felt like being in Austin but somewhere else at the same time. We started with the Morita shrimp, the crab cake, the crispy tamal ahogado, and the filet skewers, and all of them were excellent. Then we had the branzino, which was a standout. The sauces were rich, spicy, and smoky. We also got the New York strip, which was salty, buttery, smoky, and spicy all at once. For dessert, we had the cake and churros. Our server was fantastic: knowledgeable, kind, and great with recommendations. The food was top notch and truly one of a kind. We'll definitely be back!

I did ask to try aleida's sauce, which many people liked on yelp, but we liked their green sauce the most! Overall, very cute and colorful restaurant; loved all the decor. The outdoor patio, where we sat, was covered and nice, until it started pouring hard outside. Not a super authentic latin restaurant. No complimentary chips and salsa. My taco wasn't worth more than $5, tbh, and we paid close to $9..given it was shrimp, but we've had much better shrimp tacos elsewhere for less. I wish I had a photo of my poor taco, but I totally forgot to take a picture :/

One of them was the Migos taco, which was delicious. I love that the tortilla chips and they were nice and crunchy still and not soggy. I also got a taco called the Cherrywood, which had bacon cheese, egg, potato, and avocado, and it was delicious. I love that their tortillas are homemade and they're not the cheap American puffy ones. They also give you complementary chips and salsa and both salsa were delicious. I literally combine both of them in my tacos. They do have some great drinks. One of them is the Highlander margarita which is really nice and smooth and they use patron silver. They also had another margarita that I saw a lot of people ordering and it was an avocado one, and everybody kept raving about it.

We were drinking lukewarm mimosas. Please rethink this El Alma, you need buckets to keep the wine and juice cold! Anyways, we received complimentary chips and salsa while we waited for our food. I ordered the breakfast enchiladas which were delicious. They had egg in them, and honestly never thought this existed but happy I found it! Wish the side of beans it came with was bigger. The rest of our group enjoyed their foods as well. There's rooftop seating which was lovely BUT there's a huge oak tree above that continuously drops leaves and debris constantly. Our drinks had floating bits and it just kept falling. I recommend some umbrellas. Our waiter was kind enough to let us move when a table opened up under the canopy. Great food, super cool restaurant but some operational issues that keep it to a 4 and not a 5.

Totally surpassed the exceedingly high hype! I don't know if it's because I got here right at noon on a Friday and started taking pictures, or if it's because I said it was my first time, but I felt like a king today. Fernando, the proprietor, hooked me up with a free Coxinha and some Yuca Fries after I ordered the Picanha Grelhada (the special of the day). He sat and chatted with me for a while about our favorite Brazilian movies and the Olympics. Let's talk food. The special was a feast. Just incredible. A lot of food. Really, really high quality food. And the pepper sauce he brought out was out of this world. The caramelized banana on top really took it to next level. The Coxinha (chicken croquette) was chewy and crispy and instantly addictive. The Yuca Fries were excellent. Not too heavy. Just right, with the creamy dipping sauce. Before I left, he also offered me a shot of Cachaça (I think?) with pomegranate. I politely declined, as I was in the middle of a bike ride around town, but what service! With a great smile and friendly personality. The Brazilian music playing was delightful. A very Girl from Ipanema vibe to it. The shade was cool on this 99 degree day. The lines weren't too crazy, although it was getting busier as I left. All in all, this spot is deserving of its ***** rating and then some. Amazing! I will be back for lunch and maybe later some evening for a shot of that alcohol. read more

Excellent food truck serving fascinating, quality Brazilian street food I swung by here for some late night eats and purchased the steak. They were out of one the accompanied things so they offered some yucca chips and rice to really go with it The steak was tender, succulent and full of flavor. I actually was not anticipating this amount of quality, particularly for just $10. The yucca chips were piping hot and crispy. These are on the list of very best chips I Have had interval I had a pleasant chat with the owners and they're wonderful folks. They can be super friendly and attentive and definitely have a passion for what they do I 'm looking forward to coming back and trying the other pieces which appear equally as fascinating and delicious! read more

I tried the picanha bowl and the yucca fries tonight, and it was actually very awesome! The Yuca fries are so crispy on the outside but way chewy on the inside. They're like the best fries you've ever had, yes the best! I love the chimichurri aioli it comes with it because the combo really puts a BANG in your mouth! The Picanha bowl is steak cooked medium rare with beans and rice. just yummy! The entire meal was well worth it and would definitely be back. read more
